You guys set the bar too high and you'll always be disappointed.
Actually it's not that crazy at all. Most people have MMO end game experience and even if they like PvE content, it doesn't last forever. To fill in the holes between content pushes, PvP is often the fall back activity that people engage in. If those players see PvP as unplayable now, there really isn't any reason to stick around.

Plus, the PvE content here isn't that great anyways.

I think your forgetting that all the high end gear you get is acquired through PvP. You dont get it any other way really. All the champion gear is obtained via PvP. So your completely wrong. PvP is very emphasized and you kinda have to do it to stay involved with the game and your peers.

I have a better idea.

Chatting with your REAL LIFE friends all day long, IN REAL LIFE?

In other words, people PvP (and unsub because of it) because it's the only end game activity that can keep you subbed.

I agree. Gear is gained through PvP or raiding, and raiding and doing flashpoints is a grind, repetitive, and doing something over and over is not fun. At least w PvP, the experiences are dynamic even though you play the same maps over and over. When you go into a flashpoint, the mobs are always in the same places, do the same things, etc. Gets old. PvP is different every time. PvP is what a lot of people do when they max level. It's the only thing left to do after you go through all the endgame content. If it's broken, then there is nothing left for me to see here.

I subbed for another month after I max leveled, and the same day I got a dose of level 50 PvP and then cancelled my sub. I don't think Bioware will solve its serious issues with PvP in time to keep people from jumping to a different title or back to the game they always return to after a new release fails to deliver.

All I read was BLA BLA BLA, I hate pvp, and Bioware made this a PVE game. I don't understand how to play that PvP craziness. Story Story Story, bla bla bla, chatting with friends, bla bla bla, Single player game are better bla bla bla. PvP scares me. I like Mario Brothers and Yoshi, with some Kirbi on the side. Bla bla bla, I like PvE so you must also like it.

Does that about sum it up?

Can't even really call it a PVE game. The content in the pve game is terrible. Bad writing to start with. That's why there are so many keyboards with broken spacebars.

Some just liked to storm through everything as soon as they can.

The biggest issue is that most will never be happy with anything unless it is their own creation. If it isn't, then there is always room for criticism. There will always be something that people are not happy with. There will also be something that some are very happy with. Then there are those of whom will actually give things a fair chance. That goes for everything in life, not just a game.

If people cancel for PvP, or for Space reasons, or what have you, why should anyone really care what they do with their time, money and life? It really is no ones business other then their own and that of Bio-Ware. They simply post due to wanting attention.

If they say otherwise, like so many do in the forms of, "I want to see this game succeed, really..." or "if it was done like this..." they are fooling no one. There are ways to give feedback that is constructive and well thought out. Most of the threads that pop up about leaving the game come across to me as being childish really.

Out of the ones leaving, I would say that 80% will be back within the next 6-12 months. 20% more then likely will not come back in that time but are also ones that usually just launch hop from one title to another.


Those that have refused to look more into some of my postings in the past, especially about space, really are missing the big picture. The game is just starting. No matter what anyone wants to say. Things happen and things only develop as fast as humanly possible. Those with all of the complaints, tend also not to be part of the solution but more so part of the problem themselves. Great examples are those not reporting exploits seen but yet sharing them while at the same time complaining about them.

Hey, just like every other posting out there, this one is just made out of my personal opinion. Take what you will from it.

OP, some people play this solely for the PVP.
