No. I love to explore but I don't want to have to hunt around for my mission objectives. Give me side things to look for in order to lure me off the linear path, but DO NOT hide my mission objectives. It's the difference between taking away a Quality of Life feature like the map updates and implementing things for the more exploration based players to find, one punishes the Player because it's frustrating as all hell and one rewards the Player for thinking outside the box. Also, you keep citing Diablo as your reasoning for why this should be this way for everyone. That makes zero sense. Diablo was not an MMO. Diablo was not remotely the same sort of game as SWTOR. And Diablo was from a billion years ago. The gaming industry has evolved to suit the players. tl:dr No, do not tell me what I want or what will be better for me based on your outdated preferences. Thanks.

I was just thinking the same thing, but I'm sure at least a few people saw it!

I can always tell the phishers by the horrific grammar. But good on you for posting about this since there are probably quite a few folks here who are new to MMOs and account phishing. Gamer Beware!

THIS! I play a fully heal specced Sage. I will keep my team upright and in a fight for as long as I am alive. Outside of a fight it is not my responsibility to patch their faces up. Outside of a fight I am using my Rest ability in order to get back all the juice I just blew through keeping folks alive, if someone is still hurt, they should do the same. And if they charge into a fight with half their head missing... well let's just say it's not my job to protect a head that obviously isn't smart enough to protect itself.

I'm a Seer. So when Tharan joined my party we basically just kind of narrowed our eyes at each other in disgust. Two Healers enter! One Healer leaves!

JC Sage here, Seer tree (full healing)! I haven't seen a shortage of a healers. What you're noticing is the absence of healers hanging out with nothing to do. Hence people looking for them. All us healers are usually booked solid the moment we log in!

Buuut you haven't said why. All you've done is point to people who don't like the game for some weirdo reason that you won't give.

You are being a troll because you have been asked a number of times why you care about the supposed 'hate' the game has been generating and you have dodged the question with silly unprovable statistics and broad terms. If you aren't a troll. Answer me this. Are you playing the game? And if yes, are you having fun with the game? If also yes, why do you care what anyone thinks?

His sig didn't give him away immediately?

hahah! Keep trying! You're almost there.

That's because the folks that are happy are playing the game. Whiners are always louder than happy people.

Still represent the views of some gamers. Your attempt to word it like that is suspect.

This.
