We have some forum posters that for whatever reason just constantly attack the game content and players. Click on the little blue name under the posters picture to the left. Go to" statistics" then click "find all posts". For some reason theres a group that has been here since day one just insulting the players, the company and the content.

OP the basic problem is this is the forums. You will always find more haters than supporters. In game you get a totally different group of players.

Vocal minority as almost all the players having fun with the game are in the game having fun. Go figure? There are some issues but nothing is exactly of the 'gamebreaking' variety.

Except when you ask in general chat you pretty much hear the same complaints as the forum. Some people just have higher tolerance for them.

You are clearly on a bad server. Mine has very little QQ.

So we should completely disregard the information then? I know the percentages aren't 100% accurate but there is some meaning we can glean from it. A lot of people are unhappy with the game for various reasons and its not just the 'elite hardcore endgamers'. Its a pretty decent junk of the player base. 50%? maybe not. Maybe more...who knows.

And I guarantee that the retention is largely due to the game being set in the Star Wars universe or the fact that people where holding out hopes that BW would pick up their game and make some MAJOR changes to the game. If 1.2 doesn't deliver some much needed change to the game then I think we will see the numbers pop down from 1.7 million active subs to 1.1-1.2 million, maybe even lower.

Edit: To answer the OPs question, its not necessarily hate. A lot of it is probably constructive criticism. Every person I know that plays this game is unhappy with it for various reasons yet we all WANT to like it. People aren't just quitting and leaving for good, they are quitting and telling BW what they want fixed.

this game is good at voice over, some story line;
and ppl tell the truth,
a lot of bad things in this game, such as FULL OF BUGS, bad engine, low population issue.

if u hate to see the truth, then u should quit this forum.
English is not my first language, still working on it.

Its not that its terrible its that I don't have anything to do if I have no desire to roll an alt for someone like me who is a 1 character person the thought of longevity through legacy means little to nothing to me.

Crafting is how I was thinking of making credits and the thought of playing the market appealed to me, but as crafting is pointless for anything other then making your rakata augment gear and will remain pointless no matter what they do to the other crafting tree's because Biochem is just too good for a raider to turn down. Because of that there's really no market for anything unless your selling raw materials for people to to powerlevel their craft to 400 to try for their rakata with augment slots.

Simple way to fix that make it so re-useable stims and Rakata crafted gear is sellable suddenly you have a market based on trading...

Raiding is a joke really not near enough stuff to do and the stuff we have to do have their fair share of bugs.
7 Years of development and 150 - 200 million dollars... How?
