Same situation here. Mine runs out this July ( Aug with the 30 day free play time? ) and unless there are some big changes in the game to help me experence the end game content which fits into my time schedule, cannot see resubbing. In other words, they donot add a cross server LFG tool for PVE by then, I am gone.
Trust is something which is earned.

it's obvious that you do not want to overthink this.
you just want to play something and have some fun.
you don't care that much for the terrible looks of new gears, the cancelation of ranked or the total absence of pvp, the reduction of population on servers which are not yet merged. you consider pvp to be just warzones. simply because they gave you chicken, told you it tastes like chicken and you do not complain. Chose to follow the mass. you are a part of the mass.
Game devs toss you some new craft gear, pets, emotes and you are happy.

I'm sure you watched the same trailers as we all did when the game started.

trailer2

i'm 100% sure you want to have a similar pvp experience, there is a big IF and WHEN this will happen.
but when people like you don't question or complain don't expect millionare companies who are capable for anything to push their professionalism to our likes.

I am currently subscribed for 3 more months, but my interest is waning.

Legacy failed to deliver for me. I was under the very mistaken impression that unlocks were obtained either with Legacy level or a large amount of credits, now that the system is here I'm incredibly disappointed to find out that it's both legacy level AND a huge sum of credits.

Personal thing here, and I may be wrong, but I'm a tad insulted that after giving Bioware a large sum of cash for the Collector's Edition, the CE vendor FINALLY gets something new and it requires a large sum of credits... 200k for a Tauntaun pet. Like I said, maybe it's a personal issue, but I feel the CE vendor should have mostly free or at the very least signficantly cheap items. 200k is ridiculous.

My Jedi Knight Campaign gear.... What the heck... I won't dock them too hard since I can move the mods out to gear that looks like something a JK would actually wear (oh and perhaps most importantly of all, doesn't include the giant bubble butt that still plagues male Jedi Knights) but come on... Fire the art team if they think that even remotely looks good. Suppose I could play my Sage... Oh wait, apparently all Consulars go back to the stoneage and put on gear that I may see on Barney Rubble...

I can finally go directly from the planet to my ship... Sadly I still have to travel through an annoying space station to reach the planet from my ship.

On the plus side, my friends still play this game, and the rakhghoul event is entertaining for now. As my subscription renewal date gets closer (I originally paid for 6 months, figured that would be plenty of time to see the quality of patches and decide if I wanted to stay subscribed) I will continue to decide whether or not to let it renew or to cancel. Currently, I'm leaning towards cancel as the game is still lacking imo. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but I see the potential for a great game and frankly, that's what I'm expecting.

Sounds about right. I wanted a Star Wars game I could play cooperatively with my wife. This game meets that intent. If another did it for less or free and was enjoyable, we'd play it.

I wish we had the game they were talking about at the guild summit.

I had mixed feelings a couple of months ago but after the guild summit, the changes in 1.2 and the notion that they are taking steps in the right direction (with regards to Role Playing, open world feeling, world interaction, competitive PvP, endgame posibilites...) my answer is YES. So please, update my previous post in the current thread.

Of course, they've still got loads of stuff to improve a/o implement but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, at least until summer.

i have 2 lvl 50's and 4 lvl 30+ not that I like leveling that much its more I hate standing about for 3 hours or more waiting to find a team to do FP HM. I still have not completed all the FP's even though i spend 30 hours + a week playing.

The end game is nonexistent,

1.2 is a fail baubles and bangles for the natives. They spent so many resources giving us trivial skills rather then address the real problems.
The Rakghoul event has ended up with groups of players standing in groups for hours on Carrick spreading plague for DNA. A great step forward for gaming the excitement of standing still.
The first sunday afternoon after 1.2 release I was in the Blackhole and there was only 7 players there and non wanted to do the new FP HM.
I completed the Rakghoul dailys and bought the random companion customization and received and Sith warrior one, brilliant i am Republic and we can not even trade with Imps. 2 hours wasted my only reward is frustration and amazement at how crap the design team really are.

I would really like the game to be a success so much of it is excellent but it fails to entertain as a MMO so im out
Sabers don't kill people Jedi's do
