Mislead? How? By what? Because you did not feel like reading up on what the game had? Because you did not check out youtube? Because you did not get into Beta to which everyone was invited to? Because you had like 2 weeks of early launch to return the game and get the refund?

I call BS.

I have also been a gamer in the online community for a decade and I am telling you that this whole casual vs hardcore crap is crap. Even if the game was directly created for Hardcore only crowd, every single casual will not quit. People play what they want to play. Look at early days of WoW. The so called casuals had very little access to content and yet vanilla ended with 6 million players. Only like .2% saw Naxx and yet people kept playing. Like 2% saw Sunwell and xpack ended with 11 million players.

Now look at rift. Rift is about 5 times better version than WoW and it has cross server LFG. They pump out content 6 times faster than WoW and Rift is not growing at a ridiculous rate. Why? Because people do not care what is better. People care about what is popular. Star Wars is popular? People will play the game as is. All Star Wars episodes will be re released in 3d will further influence a growth in the game.

It is not about casuals paying the bills. It is about people buying the game. Hardcore on the other end will help spread the word about the game and create guides, tutorials, videos, etc. I am not hardcore and I believe that hardcore gamers/fans are more beneficial to the game these so called "casuals." There may be more casual players but if some change doesn't occur, every casual will not quit. A major change happens to the game and hardcores might leave and take their free advertisement and some fans with them.

Read both of those statements you made and tell me why you bought the game yourself when you knew it didnt have LFG at the start.

Are you going to answer my question that I asked or are you going to ignore everything that makes you look like a fool.

Because I do not need LFG. I bought the game for the immersing leveling experience, awesome WZs, companion system, and crew skill system.




Sorry, I was typing up that post and just went back to see your genius response.

Read both of those statements you made and tell me why you bought the game yourself when you knew it didnt have LFG at the start.

Well first off let me appologize since I misread what you said. I thought you supported a cross erver LFG and was saying that

So if the forums represent a small percentage of the players then is it safe to say that most of the people playing the game are finding groups and runnning flashpoints without a problem and that the players on the forum that want LFG is indead a small minority of players. If the small amount of elite hardcore players cant get something becasue they are the small minority then the small minority of players that want LFG shouldnt get it either.

Please do try and back out of that one

Anything that is server only and does not group you up automatically but insteads let you put your name into a group (healer or tank or heroic BT or normal foundry) andallows you to serr other people that also want to do it and then someone has to start a group and manual intive the players then thats fine.

That would be upgrading the current LFG tool that they have. This is not what these players want, they want the WoW LFG tool that auto groups you and ports you to the instanceand then back.

They put out one commercial a year. There's been a decline because the game has been out for an astounding 8 years. And they've still retained 10 million subscribers.

There isn't a bigger success story than that game. Ever. In the history of entertainment.

There's also 2 more expansions in the bag. Oh, and WoW only lost 100k subscribers in Q4 of 2011. Doesn't bode well for SW:TOR, does it?
