That's because they would have included all of it at launch.

Faction balance is totally irrelevant now. Ilum has been destroyed. Balance has no bearing on WZ's other than you end up playing with yourselves.

Removing Ilum just hides the imbalance which was so obvious and which they would not admit to.

Since there is no real open world pvp no world pvp and no RVR faction balance has absolutely no meaning to the game. Since they failed to address faction balance I will be my lunch money that this game will never have any of the above.

You can put in what the game was not designed around. This is really a single person game played with other people. For most of the content you don't need to play with others.

I am surprised that they don't let you use 3 of your companions and do end game (cough) content with them.

Is it?

Yes I think so.

1.2 makes valor rank worthless pretty much. The new War Hero gear is better than BM, and can be worn by fresh 50's

Play time is dropping, anyone denying that is blind. That doesn't mean people are leaving in droves though. I would say that the overall pop is dropping, however, it isn't dead yet.

Veela is less populated already than SWG servers were after eight and a half years.

Between the excellent stealth detection mobs have, the need to keep track of too many keybinds, and being knocked off my mount too easily I felt like quitting many times too.

Yes, exactly this. This game gives me so many reasons where i think i should quit like no other game ever before.

I've already been unsubscribed for more than 30 days. Have to mention that the main reason for this are the extremely performance problems i have in warzones and my main reason to play this game was PVP. But also many other problems i'm tired of talking about.

The game for itself is not that bad. I like it, but it simply offers nothing special. When i heard the news about TOR the last 2-3 years i thought this game will be fantastic and innovative and a mmo revolution. But it's just not the game i have awaited... if anything better comes out, i'll switch.

you'd have to be brain dead to not notice the population decreasing:
- server queues are gone
- most servers are light/std now instead of full/very heavy
- fleets are <150 players now instead of 230+
- wz queues taking longer to pop
- fp groups harder to find
- less items on markets
- most friends in the friends list are "offline"
- where have all out guildies gone?
- etc

If they actually had 2 million subscribers just after launch when all the servers had queues and we had 230+ on the fleet in prime times i'd say it's pretty obvious we've already lost at least 1/3 of those 2 million subscribers, probably closer to half.

the ea quarterly shareholder statement in may will reveal the truth, they can't lie in that.
On what server do fleet have 150 players? We have about 15-20 on average.

Game dying.. Yes. When newer titles appear the subscriptionloss will be unrecoverable. All that will remain is a fanboi hardcore. Storyline through leveling not too bad. Endgame and PvP, not given ANY thought. Ilum is the single worst PvP experience I have had in any game to date.

Most fictional statement in this thread. Bravo.

EVERY MMO LAUNCHES HALF FINISHED.

WAR? Missing crap (endgame especially)
AoC? Missing crap (endgame especially)
Aion AT LAUNCH? buggy mess of a korean grinder missing 80% of the content

Etc etc.

Sorry, but you're just comparing this whether conciously or subconciously to an MMO that has been out 7+ years rather than how it was AT LAUNCH.
