Gamebreaker on "Merges"

It's fairly obvious that the initial population drop was a symptom of a much larger problem which has not been addressed and isn't being addressed any time soon.

For a while pops will stabilize, and then when people realize they still don't like the game with people (which is why the initial surge of players left anyhow) they'll start to drop again, hopefully they'll realize this and prepare another wave of transfers for *when* that happens.

People didn't leave because of "minor grief with bugs" they left because of a lack of basic mmo features, lacking (too easy) content, and a terrible gearing system that is still pretty terrible to this day (you can completely skip acquiring columi and jump right into hard modes with recruit gear on). It's a pretty poor system, compounded by a lack of population, and server merges are a bandaid on a gaping wound.

Opinion not Fact.

Honestly?

I really have no desire to listen to a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks telling me how they could do it better....and they are wrong. This has been an absolutely smooth process, is already demonstrating its effectiveness, and players are reporting positive results.

They can take their un-invested, unaccountable opinions elsewhere. After the whine-fest I had the misfortune to witness on these boards yesterday I'm pretty much fed up with this silliness.

I enjoy this game. I am going to enjoy it even more. I hope that allows them to sleep at night. ;p

What would be your opinion on the pop decline then? Cause and effect.

Whilst i like gamebreaker and the republic show its been a very negative show for quite a while now. Gary does do some great shows but is ultra negative when it comes to swtor, he was the one who proclaimed the jesus patch and over hyped it up the kazzoo, he also loves to name the republic shows in a negative way with swtor fail etc etc and spent about 10 shows on illum ?????. Justin complains about everything yet has the biggest swtor site going, larry never shuts up about chat bubbles and even came up with the most insane xfer idea ever which follows as this-

Create a new server(s) and have everyone xfer to those so they keep there names.

Now does anyone else see the flaw in his genius plan, well if you cant spot it after using your brain for 10 seconds your fail. The only people who that would work for is the 1st batch of players to hit the new server, after that the same result would be in effect. If someone whom was in the 1st lot to xfer has your name you have to change it anyway and we have 1 more server added to the list.

And then you have the chat there, anyone who wants to talk about swtor is drown out by the gw2 and wow fanbois and the odd tera lover so any talk about swtor gets washed away.

Gamebreaker tv had the perfect platform to create ingame player events, to promote events organised on servers across the game. Ed could have run up ideas for open world pvp events across all servers but mainly on his.

But no they spend most there time just complaining. quite sad.

Extremely. I mean why wouldn't they take it upon themselves to make SWToR a good game? It's not like anyone out there is being paid to accomplish exactly that. Why would they sit here and squander their platform by constructively criticizing a game that they want to see improved when they could just take it upon themselves to fund the restoration of SWToR with their own wallets.

Man. I can't believe the nerve that these gamebreaker failures have. If anything, it's their fault that population has declined in such a way.

^ this. I dont want server mergers. I had to reroll and now I cannot reuinite my toons on a server of my choice. I brought a few people to this game.... they have left. I won't be asking them or anyone else to come back /shrug.

Can I answer that?

I don't care. I care even less about what they believe. I get paid to worry about my own business.

This game has been a great escape for me. I've been having fun since day one and am very excited that it is even going to get better now. That's all I care about. ;p

All I can do is laugh at these people in here saying "They are so negative" "The are not fair to SWTOR" while at the very same time we are going through MAJOR server merges at the 6 month mark in this game.

Endgame content for me was the cause. I had never even herd of these guys until I saw the link in this thread. LOL
Forbes Finacial also has a ton of negativity towards ToR as well and EA's stock is reflecting that fact. EA down another 4% again today.
