Why Bioware doesn't talk to us?

And many prefer their twitter feed and FB page as they have apps on their phones and addons on their browser that allow for ease of access without having to sift through the fecal matter that posters smear on these boards.

twitter is also better designed for direct feedback. Why use a lesser set up like forums when you could use a more streamlined system?

Lets make up rules as to whats official or not.

Okay, so if the lettering isn't size 10, times new roman, and hot pink... IT'S NOT OFFICIAL IN MY BOOK!

This is not a new trend. Read this blog about the general retreat from the gaming community.

If anything, turn this thread into a constructive discussion on what the community would like to talk about with those guys and gals. Then they might come out and play if they aren't being screamed at. It also can't be all gimme gimme stuff from everyone. /2cents

Well you'd think their website that they control would be first, because facebook and twitter are third party programs that not everyone can/will use. Yet, we can be sure that everyone CAN use this website.

I'd like you to support your claim. At least I can support mine. You write 'many.' How many? I wrote that everyone CAN access this website, because you must create an account to play the game. I never wrote that many or few people come here. Ease of access would start here. When creating an account, you are set up here, you don't have to create a facebook account, or twitter account. Then the rest is just your opinion. Forums are setup for direct feedback too. Post a larger article than twitter. You also only get registered member's feedback unlike Twitter and Facebook.

Yet most players probably don't visit the SWTOR website on a daily basis because they are busy doing things like living their life and not trolling these forums. There are people who don't even read patch notes because they would rather log in and play than sit and read about what they could be doing. Twitter and Facebook make perfect sense because any gamer can just follow or like the game and glance new information via those mediums while they go about their daily business and routine. Especially considering there are more fb and tw users than SWTOR subscribers.

I try not to spend much time digging through the forums here because they are filled with wasteful garbage such as this entire thread. Why should I waste hours of my time sifting through this sea of filth when the dev's give a delightful recap of interesting stuff every week. I think BW is doing more than enough to communicate with us. Just because they don't communicate how you wished they would doesn't mean they aren't communicating at all.

You refusing to use facebook or twitter is on par with the people who don't spend half their day on these forums or hovering over the dev's like a bunch of crack addicts looking for a fix. The information is there in multiple mediums for those who actually want to know or communicate.

185,233 Followers on its twitter.

if swtor has about 1million players, that's almost 20% of its base.

As someone else said in this thread. Most mmos only have about 1%-5% of its player base active on its forums.
