Clients drive the direction of the game. If people just accepted WoW as it was, it would not have become what it is.

People need to complain or BioWare will not learn from their mistakes.

P.S I do agree with you - I think their biggest mistake is lack of communication. The number one thing they teach you in business is OVER communicate to the client. An unhappy client = less business. 90% of the community is unhappy, and that may not be the case if they ran their business honestly.

I think ranked warzones will work very well when there are cross server options available.

I currently think the biggest issue is to merge servers, or to get cross server options working. I'm currently almost at the end of my patience with having to queue 20 mins for a game for it to be 5v8 or similar, almost every game.

Please sort the above issue out as soon as possible. Please.

As for ranked warzones, whether they are here today or in a month, if they don't sort out the lack of players to play against first then no matter how good it is, it will be terrible for warzones as a whole.

Once again, please merge servers or allow cross server warzones, and make it the absolute top priority.

People just like to complain on here about everything now.
If theyd released it with a thousand bugs the QQ would have been "BIOWARE WHY U RELEASE IT WHEN IT WAS STILL BUGGED!?!??!"

The fact that took steps to avoid that and people still complaining?
People need to learn to chill out.

Why, if you're only interested in ONE aspect of a game did you buy it when it was first released? Not everything is going to be perfect straight away...
Just like to complain? I was just like you and defended BW of forums against the haters but my confidence in BW just eroded slowly. I would have had no problem if they had delayed it until everything they promises that is going to be in 1.2 was working as intended.
I pay for a finished and working product not for promises.

One aspect of the game? Like the other parts of the game are perfect. PvE is a mess. Like really it is. Nightmare are full of bugs even today, GTN is utter rubbish, tier armors look like c**p. Crew skills is only good for leveling.
ONE aspect of the game?

I am quite certain that I recall people complaining about how this feature was working on the test server and saying they would leave if it WAS left in...

Now, here's a drekload of people leaving over it.

I have formulated a theory that the MMO community (or people who provide feedback about multi-user experiences online, generally MMOs), feeds into the same brain centers as subscribing to conspiracy "theories".

So many want to be the "one" who sees it differently than everyone, that isn't the one being fooled. The sheeple can keep playing, but I, I have discerned the real truth!!

So yes to you all, yes, yes YES.. You are the geniuses that discerned the downfall of the game. Now go play something else, or go post how excited you are about "As Yet Unreleased MMO X" because IT will be your new panacea. The rest of us are playing a game that is pretty fun and worth the monthly fee, TO US.

For God's sake people, this is a game that hasn't been out a year yet. I am having fun playing. I enjoy it a few nights a week, and I like the concept and content.

Lighten the frag up.

If you did not realize that this was all calculated, then you fail at basic life (I don't mean YOU, I mean any person that think sthis was all a big coincidence...).
Now I know that quite a few signs do point at this. I feel it's still only an assumption that they planned this. While a genius short-term business play, I'm not so sure we're dealing with masterminds who also have incredibly bad foresight.
I won't draw a lightsaber in my signature. You're welcome.

Case in point, my theory stands.

To all the tossers out there that cry about waiting and how pro wow are. Think how long it took wow to bring out rated bgs....around 2yrs from release if i remember right, and how many bugs did it have when it did come out.... meh i'v been pretty happy with swtor since release, theres been a couple of issues but overall not a bad release, when u consider most mmo's. I dont like the random crap with rewarding pvp'ers ie bm badges. Think thats just unfair for some and totally unjust for others. Anyway i'm not going anywhere soon keep up the good work looking forward to the patch.

Daniel U take as much time as u need to perfect the ranked pvp system..I enjoy pvp as much as the next guy or maybe even a little more..Do not listen to these people who want it now because they can not grasp the idea of what would happen to pvp in general if the flawed ranked system was released..I enjoy to pvp and i enjoy the fact that we can be ranked to see who the ones who put time into the pvp woirld and who r the ones who slack during it and do not give pvp the full respect it does deserve. The only thing i have to say is Less huttball intervals lol
For The Empire!

I haven't seen any plans for server merges, so like myself you're gonna have to reroll on another server or wait a couple months for cross servers. Which both don't sound very appealing to me.
