I explained my philosophy a few posts up. The change is reported as a negative: SWTOR had 1.7 million subscribers, but lost 400,000. That's negative change. Even if you want to qualify it in terms of total population, the change is negative: 1.7 million subscribers to 1.3 million subscribers is a negative difference.

Well, the pressure is on the developers. There is still hope. And we don't have to wait until 1.3. A LFG tool will NOT provide incentive to do HM FP dailies. There is an easier, quick change they can make--a change that will give all the idle level 50s something to do. Up the ante for doing HM flashpoints. This would add huge incentive to do flashpoints. The HM daily quest reward should be scaled to the difficulty of the heroic completed, and should include Rakata and Black Hole tokens as appropriate: The Black Talon: Keep as-is, "LFG quick daily BT HM" in General Chat makes my stomach turn Boarding Party: Add 1 Rakata token The Foundry, Directive 7: Add 2 Rakata token The Battle of Ilum, The False Emperor, Kaon under Siege: Add 1 Black Hole token Lost Island: Add 2 Black Hole token If people sign on every day to do the daily, it will help the economy as well.

Hopefully the devs look at this POST and go from there, otherwise that number will continue to drop.

You mean except that it's illegal for a publicly traded company to lie in the forum they used to communicate those numbers, right?

You realize that Bioware didn't give free months to inactive accounts, right? So, unless those players all cancelled after receiving their free month, then you're absolutely, positively wrong in your assumption.

Honestly when i see things like this it makes me think the person doing it is throwing common sense to the wind to appear to be book smart. Sigh... This person isn't trying to describe reality; they're trying to put things into perspective.
