He was totally right with his comment and I am glad to see that I am not the only one who has this opinion

...and I already did what you suggested and no, you can't have my stuff, because I cast it into the virtual void of bits and bytes as a sacrifice for the MMO gods to punish bad developers and greedy publishers.

I am going to likely make a few people mad when I say that I don't want huge content patches every month. Don't get me wrong, I could definitely do with some big patches every month, but it doesn't always have to be content. Remember a few weeks back when 1.2 came out and there were all those fresh bugs? Imagine going through that every month because you want a new warzone that only a few will use, an operation that few will use, and a flashpoint that few will use.

And how about testing?

If they're pushing out content patches every month, how long will they have to test it? Will it be enough to ensure that we don't have a 1.2+ moment where there are even more bugs in it? How long will it be until they run out of ideas completely because they're trying to keep the content vacuums happy?

Am I the only one that would be happy with a nice, big, 800mb patch that did nothing but fix bugs and improve performance for the entire game? I'm starting to think that I am.

I and 3 others have all talked on Vent... I'm fading on a month by month bases, while others have already said when their 3 months are up, they'll be canceling unless something major happens.. 1.2 was a disappointment to all 4 of us..
1) PvP is broken and there is no "US versus THEM" feel in the game..
2) Raiding is the same boring treadmill originated by WoW and carried on by others..
3) Game feels like a "lobby" based LFG instanced game.. I really don't see SOCIAL co-operation in the open world..
4) Lack of ANY dynamic world .. WAY too linear for our liking..

Anyways.. just saying

They have said that 1.3 is less about content and more focused on core systems and more legacy unlocks, and that it wouldnt take as long for it to hit live servers as 1.2 did. (or so they hope)

Nope. I'll unsub when I get deployed.

It's always fun to watch people that love this game and people that don't argue about it. One side calls the other blind fans, the other side calls their opponents whiney trolls..

I offer a third party! An alternative!

I offer Ron P- wait wrong subject.

Sheesh. As a Star Wars geek, I think the game is fine because it puts me into my second favorite period of Galactic History. I can accept any flaws as a trade off.

For the ''whiney trolls' - Nothing is perfect.
For the ''blind fans'' - Nothing is perfect.

i believe you just dont get it. In the coming days if Bioware dont start fixing what is in the game and start putting more usefull stuff not garbage into this game this game will loose a lot more subs.

There are 4 things off the top of my head that Bioware needs to fix first instead of add more.
1) Legacy xp needs to be the same as you level xp and the prices to unlock the legacy iems needs to drop they are too high.

2) crafting system each companion should have 3 different skills where you can do all four crafting areas on 4 different companions the rest is fine

3) bugs, lag, and game performance needs a really big fix do to computer crashes, rubber banding, skills not responding well. The lag needs to be fixed when there are too many people in the area of if someone flies by on a speeder of taxi.

4) companions need better skills for healing and fighting they simply die too much or dont heal very well at all. other than that the companions are great.

I only been hearing good like finding something else but if this Bioware **** ups continue to happen even you will be taking a low blow when i fore see this game by the end of the year either going free to play of on a really bad case of life support due to low sub numbers. If not by december i feel by at least March of 2013 for sure.

Three of those four are your personal wants.

Also, I see the free to play goalpost keeps moving when they come out with good sub numbers.

But to be honest, I don't see what your freaking problem is. The person above me laid out problems, I wished them luck in finding something they like. Get the hell over yourself.

.
See I disagree

I get the haters.
I dont agree with all of them but I understand them.
They fit one of 3 cases:

1) They want to love the game but can not at this particular time so come to forums to express their dissatisfaction with game. COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE and I beleive is the most common post from the so called haters

2) They hate the game but spent money on it and want to make sure EAoware understands to the extent of unhappiness they have. Understandable, I wouldnt waste my time on this one personally but I can see some feeling that way. (2nd most common posting style from the so called haters)

3) They are trolls and they troll (this applies to haters and fanbois alike). Waste of time and space but we all know they out there and its up to EAoware to remove them (BOTH THE HATERS AND FANBOI TROLLS. BOTH ARE THE PROBLEM).

I get those 3 set ups.
What I do not get and find to be the most destructive practice on this and many other forums is

"I LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH Im going to sit on the forums for hours on end argueing with people rather then playing the game I claim to love."

Sorry, these are the ones I dont get. If the game is truely that amazing to them, why are they not spending every free minute in game? I know I always have when satisfied or better with a product. If I love it, I want to play it. Simple really. If I dont but feel I could, I spend time telling developer what im looking for until time runs out and I love the changes or I move on.

In 4 months time when my time runs out. If something hasnt happened to keep me and convince me to resub. One of the main reasons for not resubing will be EAowares complete refusal to monitor and actively control the out of control fanbois that come here and post 100 posts a day insulting and belittling other players. Just because they on the side of the game (even though they not playing it appearently) doesnt give them a right to abbuse other players and personally I think it says ALLOT about a company when they are so thin skinned they can not allow paying customers the right to express their dissatisfaction with a product with out being trolled, insulted, and harrassed openly and commonly.

I get posting when your dissatisfied.
I completely dont get spending hours and hours and hours argueing with people when you claim to love the game as is. If you love it so much, why are you not playing it?
In regards to lessening F2P and Preferred restrictions
In GAMING, as in LIFE,
You get what you pay for
No game restriction is so dire that $15.00/month will not eliminate it

The bioware fan boys will be happy at the moment to see us go until their server is dead or no groups for end game events. I believe then they will open their eyes to see that this game is dieing and will only have their selves to blame for being rude, calling names, insults and other **** that they do because of us so call complainers or trolls like to tell bioware about the broken or badly implemented stuff that was not added correctly.

There are 4 things off the top of my head that Bioware needs to fix first instead of add more.
1) Legacy xp needs to be the same as you level xp and the prices to unlock the legacy iems needs to drop they are too high. Really? This right here is the number one thing wrong with the game?

2) crafting system each companion should have 3 different skills where you can do all four crafting areas on 4 different companions the rest is fine. So you really really don't like MMO's. Game is soloable enough

3) bugs, lag, and game performance needs a really big fix do to computer crashes, rubber banding, skills not responding well. The lag needs to be fixed when there are too many people in the area of if someone flys by on a speeder of taxi. Feel real bad about people that Do have them....I do not have these issue's

4) companions need better skills for healing and fighting they simply die too much or dont heal very well at all. other than that the companions are great. So you admit to being bad, and instead of fixing your issue...You want BW to buff something to further prevent you from dying?

I only being hearing good like finding something else but if this Bioware **** ups continue to happen even you will be taking a low blow when i fore see this game by the end of the year either going free to play of on a really bad case of life support due to low sub numbers.

Those are just my thoughts
