In fact, it's just getting tiresome to read a new thread saying FPS lag is horrible, why won't bioware respond? When they already have responded. People come to the general forums to complain about issues that have been addressed already, are under investigation, are acknowledged, and they steer clear of the forums that could help them find this all out. The Dev Tracker forum. The Community News roll on top of the forums. The Customer Support forum for billing and account issues. The Public Test Server forum for things currently being worked on and fixed and tested. Instead all the crap lands here in one big pot of boiling rage. And its all useless.

I like to do stuff with my guild and random pugs. i have no trouble finding groups whatsoever.

Would you rather the devs post on the forums, or work on the game? Serious question. Reading the sheer volume of crap on this forum is pretty much a full time job. I've killed many a 12 hour shift just reading gen discussion. The size of the player base makes for a VERY active forum. We get pretty fast response on serious issues, often with less than 48 hour response time for major issues. If you know anything about coding and programming thats a pretty big deal.

Or are you just bashing because he isn't in love with the game? Sounds like you're upset because someone has a different opinion than you. SWTOR, not KOTOR. Means you have to deal with other people.

Some of these things are ok, but some are really not needed as a priority. 1. Chat bubbles shouldn't be implemented. And if they are, definitely give us the ability to them off. I don't understand why everyone wants this, I mean, this isn't a comic book game like DCUO. Guess I must be old or something. I could go on and on about the suggestions, but one in particular I wanted to mention: the forced faction balance. Why should one side get an incentive because it has less. I mean, the Empire is just so freaking bad **. It's the type of side you would WANT to be a part of. So much deceit, backstabbing, murderous, and lying. While the Republic side has....kittens. LOL! I'm just joking. But seriously, one side shouldn't get an incentive. Now if they made the Republic side just as cool as the Empire side - no imbalance. Unfortunately, doing the 'woe is me' and getting an incentive is just wrong. Sigh* I REALLY hate to say this because I told myself I would, but here is the most simplest breakdown: Empire = Horde Republic = Alliance shudders So, if you ever played 'game which must not be named,' and saw that there were are a lot more horde than anything else, then you would see it is the same here.

Consider the draconian and heavy-handed moderation here. If you spread the population across too many forums it makes it harder to keep that noose tight. But one example of how over moderation hurts the community more than it helps.

If you want something to be irked about it would be that when they respond and close the stupid thread. Then the Dev response is not listed in the DEV Tracker. I lose more DEV responses that I know I have read and can't find because the thread was closed for one reason or another. Usually because of the posting limit and they open another thread.
