Unsuscribe already ? Top 2 things that would had made you stay

1. Improved combat responsiveness. Yes I played WoW blah blah blah, but that is the measuring stick to which I hold the game here. I am uncertain if it is optimization at fault, or an over reliance on insisiting that everything be choreographed and the animation priorities are getting in the way, but combat responsiveness is quite literally a make/break point for me.

2. More group-friendly tools. The flashpoints and multiplayer content in this game is woefully underseen thanks to the awkward and largely underused grouping systems. I flag myself LFG as soon as I log in, every time I log in, with description, and only one time (1) in my 30 days did I ever get a response from another person who was forming a group. And even then it was just the two of us + 2 companions. The only way I ever got to see any flashpoints proper was standing in town (generic space station town) and spamming for others, often for 20+ minutes. It was an unpleasant experience which I only did out of a desire to see some of these flashpoints before outlevelling them too badly, and while it may have been worth it to see them a couple of times it quickly became the same spammy chore I grew sick of years ago in other MMOs. The repeatable group content has the potential to soften the blow of running out of story for most players, ease them into a repeating-flashpoint mentality, but not if no one sees them.

There are many other things I could/would like to add to the list, but they quickly approach xpack-material sorts of revisions and additions. The above two are things I fully did not expect to need to worry about at launch, they seemed perfectly reasonable expectations to have of the game, and so their weakness hits very hard.

ill be honest this game is starting to get boring, but i blame that largely on the fact that i can only log on late night and by then everyone is off in their groups of 4 or 8 and im left on my own doing nothing

1. Guild bank would have been nice at launch.

2. UI customization

3. FACTION IMBALANCE!!!

I don't actively hate the game or anything, but I am leaving this month after I finish my Jedi's story (currently lvl 43) and I pound out enough to top off her professions and get her lvl 50 speeder.

The first thing is the only thing I hold against Bioware. The fact that they launched without a character copy or premade 50s to the PTR is going to result in continue in buggy patch releases if they insist on short PTR testing and rely solely (as a result of the two issues) entirely on internal testing to root out the bugs.

Just seems... a bad idea, to me.

The second is that endgame is pretty much the same as in any other MMO. I'm bored with the gear treadmill, and I enjoy pursuing a wide variety of different activities. The Game That Shall Not Be Named simply provides, and promises much more in the future, of that.

I'm not parting as angry or hateful to the game, and for those who are staying I hope you have a good time.

I was told that Tatooine will bring a smile.
It did not.
What I am wondering is that on top of all I would like this game to be, at least one was missing for me : players to team with.

So without going into all our whishlist, what are the 2 things that would make you stay longer.

For me it was the lack of players to team with and the non uptimised game my cappable rig was having a battle to get more then 50 fps on low / off settings.

What about you all ?

if they would have rolled back the changes to ilum, until they figured out a way to make it work with population imbalance, having a daily that favored the zerg side, which was necessary in order to progress your character... was stupid. the difference between 1 bag a day and two, were huge.

I plan on staying subbed for a while, at least until I finish leveling a few of the classes that I've gotten interested in.

But when the point comes when I'm done leveling new characters, the three things they need to add/fix to keep me subbed longer are:

1) LFD system
2) More Story Content
3) Fix the Ability Delay

What would make me stay? I dont know. Probably nothing. The game wont kick enough despite the bugs. Everything you do just seems pointless. You know ...the whole game doesnt seem like it is made to keep people here for months, but only for 3 weeks.

You know what?

These unsubscribe threats are starting to look like childish ultimatums.

Like everything in your minds have a peerless conclusion; your way or no way.

Yes, most of the times I am ready to set the torches ablaze and storm castle Bioware too...(I want all Twi'lek female colors!) but if you are bored and hate the game...just quit. People will quit either way. People move on and people die.

That's life.

It's that simple. No need to make a post trying to get followers.

Sure, this game is pretty mediocre by what my standards of a MMO should be but when it's not fun anymore to me I will stop playing.

I'm sure not going come to this forum, say I'm quitting and then say, " I won't quit if you do X! Now!"

What you saw then, is what you see now.

What you see...is what you get.

Pretty much this is the core of the game. If you hate it now, you sure won't like it down the road and the years to come.

If they fix ability delay and the optimization. PvPing in 10fps is not fun.
