Why do I feel like Bioware is not listening to the players ?

He's just one of those people that can't feel good about what he's done unless he can shove it in other people's faces and make them feel like they're less than he is.

Then you never played at release.

NO. solid gear tables are the ONLY reason people will do flashpoints, world bosses, etc.

I have no motivation to do them if I don't know that I will at least have a good chance of getting gear for my work. I remember running BT 10 times and with only one piece of gear to show for it--I stopped running it because I got too frustrated that I couldn't get any gear for my effort. If I got consistent gear I would have loved to keep going--it was a very fun flashpoint.

Knowing that I'm just rolling the dice to even get gear I could use to drop? Hell no.

even if Bioware was going to address all of these it might take some time ya know..

ithey're apparently coming
be nice but not something that's exactly game breaking.
or at least a combat log'd be nice.

do you really intend to use a segway at level 50 if you can afford the expensive training?

station.[quote]
I know WoW defined capitals as the main faction hub but TOR is doing something differnt. even if the space dock wasn't a few meters from the center people would still likely hang at the fleet because thats where we go for flashpoints GTN access and nearly anything else. you might not like it (and the circular nature I'll agree leads to lag) but thats the design plan.
by this you mean we should force people to gear out in HM flashpoints before doing opos? hmm no thanks, the last thing this game needs is Radiance

often loot tables are put together by players simply from experiance, I expect this will be the case with this game.
I'm sure BW will tinker with that over time however they'll no doubt wanna be careful.
just about every planet has a shuttle to the fleet. it does not take long to get to a flashpoint in this game.
yeah I'dpersonally like to at least be able to search for armor type by slot. if I need a new belt I don't need to sift through 3 pages of boots.
this is always a risky thing to do and I think BW would be wise not to do anything immediatly and wait until the game's population stablizes. once thats done I can think of a number of ways to enchourage rep play, such as giveing the republic more races then the empire etc.



because BW doesn't immediatly impliement what you want doesn;t mean they're not listening. if these are game breaking issues for you unsub and wait 6 months a lot of these issues may be addressed.

I do agree somewhat.. something like a combat log is just annoying not to have for those "Wait how did I die?" moments, plus along time ago I came from table top gaming and it's just annoying not being able to see the "dice" ie. the actual numbers.

Other things aren't so much staples are good features.

But I would have to say the reason people don't feel like bioware is listening is simply because they don't post on the forums. And one must assume they don't even read them and instead get some kind of "community feedback report" compiled by some underling somewhere along the line. Then they work out what they'd like to fix, then pass their notes over to some PR dude who writes up a blog post. Maybe not, but anyway it just annoys the hell out of me there are about zero replies to huge threads and never is it someone who actually works on the problem when there is a reply, it's some community manager.

They should really take a page out of League of Legends book and be as open and friendly with the community as possible.

Even WoW has ghostcrawler nowadays who (at least when I read those forums) posted constantly.

I'm not even sure who does which job and I can't think of their names off the top of my head with these people. I think they should of went with gamertag style names too, it's further evidence that they are on your side, the gamers.

But no, they don't do any of that.

Bah..

Why can't they just be friendly and helpful , why!?


/end rant

Hardly. That's like saying an athlete that accepts a trophy can't feel good about what hes done unless they can shove it in people faces--or a soldier with a medal.

I like having proof that I did something, not just the memory. I want to feel like my work was recognized and rewarded.

Very sad indeed, please seek professional help if you really need recognition for your efforts in a video game.

Bioware is listening. However, if you haven't noticed, everyone wants a number of things. Some clash with your list.

While I usually despise the pap of "give it time" , in some areas I suspect it WILL take time. Clearly the game was supposed to go live in March, not December. By then it will be a more complete experience.

I think this guy is just dumb. Two thumbs down.

To answer your title:

Because you're not listening to BioWare.
