The question of the month: Will you keep your subscription up? and why?

I purchased the live version with a 60 day timecard. I’m riding out the time left to play but not sure if I'll re-up. Although I have time to play, and I love Starwars, I find myself playing for only an hour or two before I get bored. I can't explain it... I'm not playing anything else either... I find I rather flip through channels finding something to watch on TV, or driving around looking for something else to do... As of right now I'm only playing for two reasons. First cause I purchased it and don't want to let money go to waste. Second I've got an old friend who I group with and we basically catch up while playing.....

I’m just not feeling the drive to play… I feel no connection with my character/s… It’s like I’m forcing myself to play a lifeless world… It’s just not fluid and I don’t see people raving about content, or end game which removed my drive even further… I feel absolutely no sense of adventure… I too find it hard to believe seeing how the game is hugely storyline driven, but I felt more adventure in other games. Seeing people rave about content in other games increased my drive to take on the challenge but not here. I feel no risk, I feel no achievement, I feel nothing….

To the best of my knowledge, GW2 won't have an LFG either.

SWTOR will have one around patch 1.3 ish.

Yes I am, because it's a great game.
One's whiny and unsatisfied opinion reflects his failure in the game.

In fact, I can't think of a single MMO that launched with an LFG tool... Is there one?

While I agree with you on the first part (I just re-sub for 3 months), the second comment is, well... ignorant. While many complain to complain, feedback is necessary for things to get better. Think of it this way, if you don't care you just walk away.

I think almost every gamer who tries out a game has hope for the best. We WANT to fall in love and find something that lets you have fun and you can do for a long time. I, as an older gamer, take care to choose what I am going to learn and invest time on. So, equally, I am not willing to give up easy. I am staying, waiting for things to )hopefully) get better, and giving BW all the feedback I can so they can make informed decisions.

As many have said, joining groups is an issue. I can barely get FPs or Heroics done. This relates to server population and transfers, which is a big issue. It also relates to the many bugs that need to be addressed.

I know many great players with L50 chars all over and let me tell you, the complaints are NOT coming from unsuccessful players.

My friends and i just started, and were having an absolute blast. None of us played wow though, so it is all new to us.

This does not sound like a fault in the game. Games should not be so addicting that you put them over RL. Nothing wrong with playing for an hour or two at a time, when you feel like it. That is actually healthy.

Besides, it's 50 cents a day for the option to play when you feel like playing. Don't treat it like a job or a RL requirement... you probably have enough of that to deal with in RL.

I agree, if we are talking about LFD that auto assembles and auto ports a group into an encoutner. Most MMOs do have some form of social panel for looking for group members at launch (including this one).

I actually feel it is counter productive to the growth of server communities and the game overall to put any form of auto LFG in at launch. Even more counter-productive to do it cross server at launch.

People have been on the WoW hamster wheel approach to MMOs for so long I think it is hard for them to step back and take a fresh step forward into a new MMO at it's launch phase. It's kind of sad to see the MMO community so addicted to a particular approach to MMOs.

My sub ends in around 20 days, I do not think I will renew.
At the moment I just log in once a week for ops.
There isn't anything to look forward in the short period.

A pity, I waited this game for years.

Sounds like you need a game where there is insta-level_cap followed by infinite end game entertainment. Or maybe a loooooooonnnng leveling process followed by infinite end game entertainment.

No such animal though. MMO play does require a player be able to self-direct and self-entertain to a certain degree, drawing from more then just one facet (like end game Ops) of an MMO. If end game Ops is all you value, yeah, this is probably not the game for you.
