"Hey, what are you trying to push on us?" You damn dirty Jawas ... err EA.

You lose, General Kenobi. Oops ... wrong quote.

I urge people to voice their displeasure the right way by cancelling. I just did. Let BW know that F2P and P2W is not the answer to this game's problems.

Not that anybody cares but I am done as well. F2P will morph into pay 2 win soon enough most especially as tons of people ditch the subscription and revenues plunge. I wish only the best to those who will stay behind. It really was a fun ride, despite the issues, and the online community was among the best. Take Care!

I am unsubscribing as soon as I log in tonight. Thanks BW for breaking my addiction! Any purchasable in game currency will be used and abused to generate more income. Pretty soon even subscription accounts will require this currency. Best of luck to everyone who sticks with it.

I was thinking along the same lines as well. 1. Pazaak: A) Pazaak tables on Nar Shadaa(neutral planet) which also would allow Pubs vs Imps. B) Betting in game by players and also by spectators C) Collecting rare cards and sets, with custom graphics(fluff for fun) D) A ranking system for people to "progress" through and a leader board that everyone can "admire" E) Throw in a tax or casino fee to act as a legitimate credit sink. 2. Swoop racing A) Implement a variety of tracks on planets like Tatooine and Nar Shadaa B) Randomized tracks with changing obstacles C) Buying swoop bikes and components for upgrades. D) Purple upgrades to get a "slight" edge (craftable by Cybertechs via rare schematics.) E) Betting on races by players F) Ranking system here and leader board ... beat the best player G) Credit sink via track fee These social games alone would get me to sub for many months assuming they were done correctly. I am sure others would enjoy them a great deal also. Most importantly, the content is 100% recyclable. Player driven all the way!

My prediction for 1.4: HK quest (infested with creepy crawlers i.e. bugs) 1 WZ Nightmare Mode EC ***chirping crickets***

It is sad to say but it is looking like Nightmare Mode EC is all we will get in 1.4. I kind of expected this when they said that the new OP would be on Makeb(sp). The devs also said they would alternate the release for story mode / hard mode and nightmare. Beside, it really does not make sense to introduce the new planet in bits and pieces. So I predict we will see the new op when we say the level cap raised. That is not anytime soon ...

Server loads were much lower this weekend and unsurprisingly there was a lot less lag. Still had a couple of times where the game(including chat) lagged heavily. This is on Canderous Ordo btw.

Unless it comes with a "slaughter programs" I will be disappointed. Realistically, it is not looking good. They announced HK back in June around 1.3 times and release a new "coming soon" trailer 2 weeks ago. So far we have nothing. Is this coming anytime in the near future?

Not trying to be uber negative but 1 event will NOT do it. We need recyclable content that will keep people occupied for months to come. A single world event is the opposite of recyclable. As the devs themselves mentioned they had to have the entire company focus all its resources on the last one. It ran for 2 weeks(?) and poof ... disappeared. It was very fun but totally inadequate. This is why open world PvP is so necessary most especially to theme park MMOs. Sprinkle in some social games and some more nightmare level content for raiders and I suspect this forum would be a much happier place. At the very minimum there should be 1 new WZ every month. I ask this: is it really that hard to come up with a new "death match" map every 30 days? Players, without any development experience, create hundreds of real good ones for other games. Surely this team can create 1 balanced map per month.

Wow, it is very wrong to kick someone because they wanted to see the cinematics. Heck, that's the whole selling point of this MMO. As for the bigger issue, I would be annoyed if people are coming into BT HM (via LFG) for example and want to see all the cinematics. Really, you have not seen BT after all this time having leveled to 50? FPs like BT can be done in under 15 minutes, except for the delays caused by the dialog. If people are extending these delays then that makes me mad. If someone asks nicely then I will be fine with it. But don't just expect to come into a random FP and have everyone wait on you while you waste their time. Remember you are only 1 out of 4 so be considerate to others.

2.2 million boxes => 1.7 => 1.3 => 0.3 - 0.7 (???) This is not a sustainable trajectory for a triple A title with such massive variable costs. Unless there is a big revamp of the game which includes a free-form space component, social games, open world PvP, I doubt it will last much past next year.

Yeah, I can't argue the numbers but my own anecdotal experiences seems to show a pronounced decline. I am on for extended periods of time in the late afternoon and evening hours and throughout the weekend. Queue times for my character(except for the tank) have double or tripled on average and instance populations have gone down by a 1/3. It seems the changes were most pronounced this last week. I am not surprised as many of my guildies are preparing to take a break at the end of this month too. Don't forget there has been no new content since version 1.2 (April 12). 3.5 Months of no new content == lots of unsubs

Everything is pure RNG in this game. It would have been nice if they had "biased" the RNG so that the probability of getting a FP twice(or more), in a certain period of time, fell off dramatically or even went to 0. I am getting kind of tired of the Ilum FPs especially. I would much rather do BP, Foundry, Kaon and D7 for BH. This is despite the fact that I have done those countless times since February. Meh, I only have 2 more weeks of farming BH and then I am done anyways(except for EC HM and Nightmare Pilgrim).
