i like the game and i dont want it to die, but im trying to be realistic and call it what is. if theyre losing people then bring on FP/OP finder sooner than later.
So would you consider the idea of getting people to keep playing until they fix some of the features wrong with this game.

They spoke of server transfer as something "in the distant future", "we don't have the technology for it". Quite laughable.

Tell me about it almost six weeks at one point when they upgraded to Blade servers right after TBC launched.

But again, the guild wars fanbois will try to spin it any way thay can.
You just keep that immovable object routine up! YEAH! Everyone is wrong because I am not willing to admit that there are any other possibilities! Infallible is the way to go!

This is an excellent step on their part. By making it legacy level based, they are allowing players to approach the requirements to qualify in a variety of different play styles.

Nicely done Bioware.

So I think its a great thing BW is doing for everyone. I just want to say that its really funny to me when I see people call others "Blizzard or Guild Wars Fanbois" just because they have something negative to say about BW or SWTOR.

By your logic Warhammer online and a few other games that have similar attributes are doing alright.
