Announcing The Old Republic Guild Summit

This is nonsense. Fix the game and stop the PR campaign.

I'll be there

Man I wish you were giving out airline tickets :P

I think it is a little silly to think a "Guild Leader" has no clue what the interests of a solo player are. I am a GM, and I solo things. Since I am often on at odd times (2 children under 2 FTW) I am frequently the only person on in my guild of 30.

I'd be interested to hear what "Solo Player Issues" I lack insight in to. Inability to find groups, lack of solo content etc. are all things I have experienced to varying degrees.

That being said, I do believe that they are PLENTY of issues that are present in guilds that solo players would have ZERO insight in to, as I did not before I became a GM in that other game years ago.

I'm a GM of a highly competitive raiding/PvP guild. I love the idea of having a GM and developer conference, but my big complaint about this is that it is not being done with VoIP over the internet, so those of us who attend University, Work full time, and have a life can't fly out to Texas for this crucial conference.

I believe the dev's should hold a live webinar conference for us GM's with a life and responsibilities. I have numerous concerns to voice about future development and implementation of new content in the upcoming months.

I'm sure the end game competitive guilds would have the most input to offer considering current issues and future aspirations toward the game. Timelines, projected goals, and hot issues would all be great information to talk about with the upcoming months.

There are so many bugs, exploits, and just down right programming failures that need to be addressed by our entire community not just the few with money and no life to head to Texas.

Will you be streaming the guild summit or at least recording it for us to listen to later?

Will you be sending out mass emails on the 15th stating who got in and who did not? Or will these emails be sent over time up to the 15th?

Ugh. Guild support should have been built into the game from the get-go. The amount of effort it took to design what's actually in the game right now, I could've done for the price of a latte. It's ultimately just an extra chat window.

This PR publicity stunt in Texas is just to get us to buy a couple more months subscription. They don't care what we have to say. They'll present some BS they promise to implement someday soon and send everyone on their merry way. You watch, that's exactly what will happen. Seriously people. Don't you know a MMO when the suits take over when you see one?

Application to attend? Why? Answer: Because they want to screen people like me out. They only want cheering fans, not anyone with an actual opinion. The application process is closed. Bioware, take down the post!

... And by the way, the designers of the game live in the Bay Area of California, not Texas. That alone should tell you something.

It's not called 'Bioware Austin' because it's in California... it's because it's in Texas.
