Someone explain the LFG tool hate?

How do they save face from admitting they lost the player base that is the easiest to please? Further down in the article they mentioned that the casuals that left are Game Hoppers - that's where EA is saving face and their jobs.

This just isn't true. Hardcore gamers are MMO hoppers for years now because there hasn't been a mmo maker in years that hasen't dropped the ball. So hardcore gamers are still searching for a game that is deep and satisfying to play hence the hopping.

EA resorted to name calling to justify their failings and at the same time made plain that they don't even understand what hardcore gamer is.

This guy I've quoted makes a passive agressive accusation such as "who needs facts when you have blind opnion!" then goes on to engage in the same exact behavior declaring his opinions as fact.

I got bored with SWTOR's repetitive content.

I wan't some link or some sort of proof substantiating your claim that any percentage of players that SWTOR "losted" was due to the content being inaccessable and not shallow & repetitive.

I'd say if anything that the inaccessibility of this game keeps people from realizing how shallow & repetitive the game is at the end and keeps people subbed due to that. The reason for the inaccessibility is that the people who made it further got to see the travesty it is at the end hence aren't in game and LFG.

Actually I think you'll find my comment wasn't throwing itself as a fact, but saying that a few people have stated their reasons as such. Want proof? Look around the forums.

Your comment was just as assertive as the guy you accused.

You're submitting a handfull of forum whiners as evidence that a chunk of the 25% lost subs was due to inaccessibility?

I think were done here.

I agree with you. BW/EA had to put a spin on the loss of casuals. Game Hoppers is a poor one because it's usually the Hardcore players that do that.

I think his point was you don't need any more proof, just open your eyes.

No no, it couldn't be that people beat their game and go bored with it.

Those 25-50 people complaining about inaccessibility account for a big portion of the 25% subs lost.

How about open your eyes.

Please learn to read before throwing accusations. I said A FEW PEOPLE had cited this as their reason.

Not all.

Not most.

A Few.

Which was along with my point that lack of LFG was a contributing factor not the only reason.

Ok?
