why dont players expect server pop to lower?

Nope just pointing out that both sides do it not just the haters


I have show how they are losing subs but everyone who doesnt want to believe it will make up excuses as to why everyone thinks they are.

Do you have any proof that they did this? Anything? I have proof that they didnt and my proof is Bioware. So please link me something that says they increased the servers caps by more than a small margin.


Like how you you say even if I am correct in what I said that I need to just drop it for my own health. You could have just ignored me also so why didnt you.

No the forums are for anyone who purchased the game and still has an account with active play time to post in about anything that has to do with SWTOR that being good or bad. It is also for people who want to read more about the game from its players perspective.

Good, so we agree that bug reports are not going to "dev/null", which was my point. They get read, triaged, and dealt with in order of priority based on the triage.

Assuming they are reported by others, they also got read, triaged, and dealt with in order of priority. The devs have provided a very clear explanation of the factors that affect the order in which bugs get processed. I can understand that the pace at which this occurs is not satisfactory to all users, but I would say the large majority of the player base understands the process.

Office 2010 also has bugs that affect me, but I don't conclude from this Microsoft is about to collapse.

So what bugs did you report? so we know what they fixed so we can give them some credit for it.

I've seen Bioware bug reporting in MMOs before though.

One major one that gave a singificant factional imbalance was repeatedly reported and acknowledged and yet stayed Live for over a year.

In the end it was never actually fixed, they just removed something else for other reasons that made the bug moot.

Add to this several significant bugs there were reported in beta and not fixed, then I think an awful lot of bugs are going in the "Those who are likely to die, regardless of what care they receive;" section of the triage.



Compared to the likes or Trion that certain were on the case in the early days of Rift.

Link describing the initial increase in server caps:

Beyond this, nobody has any information of how the server caps have changed (up or down). We can, at best, assume that the caps have stayed relatively constant after the initial adjustment.

Indeed it be interesting to see what was reported and fixed, to see what their priorities were/are.

You are confusing anecdotes with data. The converse of this would be if I were to claim "the patch notes show that a several significant bugs have been fixed, so I think most of the bugs going into triage get fixed."

The devs claim they read all bug reports, triage them, and fix them in order of priority (evaluated using a number of parameters, including severity, number of players affected, and easy of correcting). Each player can judge this statement as they seem fit: You can either believe the devs or believe that they are lying to you.

Which ones did you report that got fixed?

There must be some method to triage discernible from those that got fixed ASAP.

Funny thing is, if it happens to every game released after wow. Why don't they already have server transfer planned and tested. It should have been like that at release. But no, they were cocky and though this piece of crap game would kill wow. Now they will lose more people because those of dead servers will just quit. Once someone quits, 80% never come back. Serves them right.

MMO designers are a bunch of monkeys. They don't study any other games and research what works and what doesn't. It is like the 1970s with US car builders. They kept pushing out big cars when the customers wanted smaller. That is why we got all the same mistakes every other MMO in the past 10 years has had. That is why most games have a huge surge of players. The MMO playerbase wants something better than WoW. WoW sucks. But these monkeys think they can make the same V-8 that gets 10 mpg and it will sell.

You couldn't make any meaningful conclusion about the devs' priorities based on the five or six bugs that an individual user reported. In my particular case, they were all minor, as I didn't experience any game breaking bugs in beta (and I only got to Coruscant). I remember being particularly surprised that they fixed a typo in the "rested state" tooltip (in beta it said "loging" instead of "logging"), since I assumed that would be too low of a priority (but obviously trivial to fix).

I don't for a second believe that it was my specific bug reports that lead to the fixing, but I do believe that users' collective bug reporting lead to fixes. Claiming that Bioware sends bug reports to "dev/null", paramount to stating they ignore all bug reporting from its user base, is clearly not correct. That's my only point.
