Rabid fanboy's are why Lucas won't make anymore Star Wars films, cancelled account already

I would have thought that Bioware would have actually looked to other games, especially WoW in order to take some information on board for how to run a successful MMO.
Blizzard has even stated numerous times in press releases and interviews over the years that players will consume content at an incredible rate and be finished with it usually within a couple of months.

Bioware clearly has not done their research into the market.

It was like this in beta. All the anti-lfg whinners got their way and BW actually listened to them. They're paying the price now.

It's almost amusing how the same Anti-LFG people who are complaining that LFG tools destroy communities, are the same ones who are acting incredibly arrogant, rude and anti-social towards the Pro-LFG group.

I really hope they will push on to get the LFG finder up and running as soon as possible ,
and they need to make it cross realm, cause if not its not going to help at all.
or it not, they need to give ppl the possebillity to change server for free so the game get playable

and in-game not just forums.

I'd been playing for only a couple of weeks (started in Feb) when I saw the first "no pugs, we hate pugs" etc posts in General. Well can't really get geared to get into a guild without a dungeon tool...

And before you point out the obvious - no I can't stay end-game with my guild. THEY QUIT

Sadly I fear this game may end up dying out before it has a chance to improve, all because Bioware were too short sighted and listened to the idiot elitists instead of the people who actually wanted to help the game succeed.

Surely they would have realized that when levelling people do it as quickly as the content allows and play as much as is necessary to see/do as much as they can? Especially when it's all new?

Have they never been an MMO player in a guild with other people and seen how much people play especially when there's new content out? I understand there are a lot of raiders who do only log on for their scheduled times and other than that very rarely, but surely they've played other games like Rift, EQ GW, Aion, or even *cough cough* world of warcraft? And from talking to players they know that when people aren't playing they're working/looking after family (which kind of gets done pretty easily while playing an MMO)/playing other games and sleep gets a lower priority? And why most people don't play seriously much on weekends hence most guild activities are during the week? Except schoolkids which this game doesn't allow?

so much of what they've said screams they don't really understand MMORPG players etc and the reasoning that it's their first is a little silly. Not too many companies have/will ever attempt more than one because of what's involved in creating/making/maintaining them.

Edit: had friends that play (ok you got me - played) Skyrim. Took them about 9 hours total to finish the story. Don't think that's a good model for Bioware to look at... for ummmm ANYTHING for an MMO.
Honestly the whole thing screams that BIOWARE has no clue what they doing. Relying on 3rd party companies? Even if there 200 hour thing was true, it'd be up by now and 1.3 with the dungeon finder is NO WHERE IN SIGHT ... BW is being disingenious
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun!
Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!

Only when I've found a group, then I'll fly to the Republic Fleet for the flashpoint. But in the mean time, I would like the freedom to do missions on planets.
Do you mean with a port? Just imagine doing PvP but with having to go to Catina or the fleet to "join a warzone queue/group". An automatic port is one of the key cornerstones of a system cause it allows you to budget your time successfully and plan your time out.

I find people when there is no port often default the work to the leader and just quest anyways forcing him to travel about whisper players, really broken mechanic.

I agree porting to the zone is a must for the system to work.
Without porting the system is just begging to fail. Means you still have to hang around the fleet instead of out doing stuff. No the emergency pass is not good enough it has to lon of a cool down to be useful other than 1 time a day and the fleet shuttles on the planets dont help.
It also means having to run all the way back to where you were after the zone. Making players think twice before queing for a zone.

I can also see groups kicking players when they see that the player is all the way out on voss with a good 15 min trip just to get back to the fleet to enter the zone.
That or i can see the group falling apart because of the wait for players to get to the fleet.
