Who is EA/Bioware's "Target Market"???

i agree with those 3... almost everyone I've encountered playing SWTOR is a BioWare fan...i.e. BioWare seems to have attracted people who already idolise them... hence the amount of retaliation people face on the forums whenever someone criticises the game.

edit: i.e. most of these players come from single-player games.. cf Battle.net

The target audience was the MMO mainstream market with something for the casual and harcore markets. the problem is they made and delivered a single player game with online co op features. Its not a game for me in its current state .i want a true MMO Like WOW , EQ2, Rift and even AOC for that matter. this more like a bucnh of single player lvls linked together

QFE.

Target audience is me, because I like this game.

That's why challenge was in quotes. I agree it's too easy.

I would think it's more along the lines of a sand person as gungans would be more akin to murlocs.

I don't think so, because Tuskens are actually threatening. Gungans are trolls because their attacks only work on fools and incompetents

---yes a single player game 98%
---there's a whole demographic out there that likes "social" aspects of mmorpgs, things like SWG player cities, or a better crafting economy where players NEED crafted items. Will this demographic ever be recognized?
--another demographic ignored currently is those who want space PVP. Space is a big turn on to many many peeps.
--and speaking of space, maybe free flying space quests? If you could have a great stand alone game back in the 1990's on ancient technology computers (TIE FIGHTER) you would think something like that could be worked into a mmorpg.

So THAT is why Palpatine wanted Jar Jar to represent Naboo in the Senate.

Hey me too! Lets /clubdance

I think alot of critiques of the game would not be attacked if, during the critique the poster didn't also use the word "fanboi", "Biodrone", etc ... Your post for example automatically puts anyone that likes the game on the defensive because you say "it attracted people that already idolized them" .. I also think if the critiques also did not contain things saying "F2P", "Dying", etc ... would also help ..

Most of those 'critiques' you refer to on these forums that are attacked usually have some negative quality to them basically daring anyone to disagree with the OP and, if someone does, they are labeled and attacked ...

Sadly, this is standard forum etiquette for almost every MMO out there (check out WoW's forums, they are just as bad as these, depending on if there has been a content patch, they get even worse) ...
