MMO Report on "Transfers"

No. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO. The day they start charging for new areas/worlds/raids/whatever DDO-style is the day I quit this game. If they want to go F2P with a cash shop, fine. But I am absolutely opposed to microtransactions for actual content.

Even if it ended up being cheaper than $15/month, I'm still opposed to it. Why? Because with a subscription fee, everybody playing the game has access to the same content. As soon as you start making people have to buy extra content, you run into issues with segregating the population into 'haves' and 'have-nots', and it makes grouping up to do stuff that much more of a pain in the ***. I don't want to have to be hassling my guild members to buy whatever new raid just released every time something comes out. That's not F2P, that's letting you demo a shell of a game and charging for everything that actually makes the game the game.

NO.

Okay. So. Here's the thing.

With B2P chapters/raids bioware would get direct feedback on what people WANT to play.

If they release a raid about helping jar jar binks great x150 grand father save nabuu by helping him impregnate a whale I will not buy it. And... hopefully neither will anyone else.

Bioware will go "jeez. No one bought that. What a waste of time and money. Lets not do that anymore"

If they continue with a subscription I will stay subbed and do pvp and just avoid that raid.

Bioware will think "well, we maintained our subscriptions. Good job peeps. Lets get working on a raid where you have to protect the baby whales from darth seagull. Lets make jar jars gdad the main character again."

Subscriptions are either all in or all out. Terrible for feedback and usually when someone reaches the "I have to quit now. I can't tale another jarjar patch" they arent coming back.

oh..i dont know..because its a show featured on the number 1 mmo webpage( mmochamp)...

I bolded the important part. See those two things are just his opinion but he is presenting them as facts or news.

It's like a profesional CNN reporter talking about a murder suspect and saying he thinks he did it and should fry for it.

This does happen quite a bit in real news but it is something that is wrong and needs to stop. Another example is whenever there is a big disaster the news stations always try to go for the emotional angle and end up not actually reporting any informaion. They always ask the reporter to describe what he sees. Which is complete BS. They have a video camera there WE DON"T NEED YOU TO TELL US WHAT YOU SEE WE CAN SEE IT FOR OURSELVES.

Do some actual reporting and give us info like has this ever happened before? When did it happen before? How many people are affected? When might the problem get fixed and so on.

sigh

end rant.

Then they throw in a nice drop for nearly all classes, which this item is determinant on whether an operation group accepts you or not. That's how they fix quests that aren't taking too well with the customers. They make it so you kind of have to buy it and do it anyway.

Of Course, The WHOLE POINT of these things is to get there opions. Other wise there is no point to them. You can just read it off the website for the game.

The tell you what is going on then give there opinion one each topic. it's the whole reason people watch them.

No it's not like a CCN reporter. How can you compare real new media to a video game update and opinion segment???

At what point during the whole cast does he stop to act like a hard core new media ourlet who is not telling some jokes when he updates you on whats going ???

Why should I care about this guys opinion over everyone elses?.
He can post his opinion in the official server transfers discussion thread.

so...being featured in the number 1 mmo web page..and from one of the top gaming tv channels in the world isnt enough?...if u dont knwo him ur the one being OFF lol
