Your local FOX affiliate probably has it too.
I play the game. I can judge it for myself, thank you. I do not need some clown to agree with me to feel good about the game I play, or to feel bad enough to quit it.
Looking for a good woman. Able to clean, cook, sew, catch bait, and clean fish. Must have boat and motor.

While a standard gaming controller option would have been ideal, the combat system is lively enough to keep you engaged.


LOL these guys are hardcore gamers. I read the entire article like it was written by Bill O'reilly.

Well as long as they had fun playing "The old republic" and they are "Star Wars" fans lol...
I Hutball so hard Garadda wants to fine me.

SWTOR isnt really aimed at most "hardcore" gamers.
If u are really hardcore, u would be playing FF or Everquest still with their massive raids, spawn camping.

Casual market is way way bigger than any hardcore.
ie. Farmville, Angry Birds etc

Any company that wants to make money should aim for the casual market.
Casual players pay the same amount and just play the game and take up less server time.

Making a game for the "hardcore gamers" would just make you tear your hair out due to their incessant whining.

NPR isn't exactly what you would term a "trusted" organization.

5. a UI that cannot be customized in any way.

6. Class storyline quests that are intermittently bugged and do not allow some players to finish them.

7. Bosses from ingame instances that do not drop loot... or bug out and prevent instance progression.

8. A pvp system that doesn't award skill, but awards gear through a lottery system that rewards chance (champ bag system)

9. Customer Service that according to over a 1000 players in a variety of posts, has yet to resolve a single customer service ticket.

10. fanbois who claim that individuals with real and valid issues are unnecessarily complaining.

11. Retardedly low Frames Per Second caused by a graphics engine that is nowhere near optimized.

12. Graphics do not use SLI technology.

13. Missing gear never replaced.

14. Mail sometimes gets permenantly lost.

15. Developers not acknowledging issues or responding to customer concerns regarding major issues.

16. Known Issues being deleted without being fixed.

Shall I continue with the bug/issues list that remains unresolved?

I get there are those who want to compare this game to WOW or other games as far as launch is concerned. However, EVERY game company should have learned something from those mistakes. Further, the gamer market has gotten more savvy and less tolerant of mistakes that are avoidable, which most of the above are.

Every other game since WOW that has had these issues has either failed or lost the majority of its sub base. While I like the game, despite the bugs, to claim its a great game, is at best ignorant.

Well to bad for us thats their whole reasoning in catering to the what we call these days "Casual gamer" the hard core players have had years to learn what is and what is not expected in a "Mmo". Its easier to cater to a crowd who doesnt know any better or is just happy with whats handed to them.
