Gamers are leaving left and right... not much positivity on either official forums or on different gaming sites.

Communication is weak to none... Showing us picture of HK-51 is weak. We need more open communication where you are telling us your plans, development plans. I mean when are we going to see patch 1.4 ? What is patch 1.4 going to bring to us ? When will it be on Test Server ??

There is a lot's and lot's of questions and little to no communication...
I agree, they need to speak up and end this negativity, or at least try. AT LEAST convince your current players to stay.

All of this 'devs are leaving/100 servers closed' stuff and BW remaining silent doesn't reassure anyone to keep paying every month.

They do need to let us know about things that involve game play and when they will happen but you cant be serious about hiring's and firing's....these are business decisions that Bioware feel needs to be done for what ever reasons. They do not need to explain their actions to you, me or anyone else that plays the game. If you buy and wear Nike shoes and they decide to fire someone within the company or even Stop production and not sell their product any more, are you gonna demand that they tell you Why just because you buy their shoes.... really now.

People spend $15 a month on a subscription, and think they are part of the Board of Directors or something.

Again, I'm not going to say this is part of "The Plan" but developers typically do downsize after the release of a game.

With non-MMOs this can be brutal even with highly successful games. With MMOs ... you simply don't need the same number of people to maintain and update a product as you do to develop it, even if you are planning some serious expansions.

It was a pipedream that the entire team would still be around in a year.

- Arcada

P.S. The thread is a fail because the expectations you outlined in it are seriously unrealistic. I'm actually getting a very good dollar for value with $15/month and so are you. The tone that we need a new patch and content just weeks after the last significant patch is ... well ... somewhat childish although I'm trying to phrase this in a non-insulting way.
The Arcada Legacy (Ebon Hawk)
Ord'os (Lvl.55 Sorcerer), Naresa (Lvl.53 Operative), Jagrafess (Lvl.19 Marauder)
Nydus (Lvl.54 Shadow), Toclafane (Lvl.27 Guardian)

This is a gigantic issue. I remember the interview where he talked about monthly updates and content and features, yes he said monthly. 7 months one content update? A few feature updates that shouldve been in at release

Patience only goes so far

The same thing that happens whenever an MMO is finished - they are laying off a bunch of the staff that was needed to make it because they don't need them anymore. They need developers for patches, and they need programmers and people to find bugs, but they don't need nearly as many people as they needed to make and launch the game. That's normal.

A producer's note / plan is quite standard in most MMOs shows for the short term where the game is going and of course that is subject to change.

Read the article before posting. Its the same people who have already been made redundant. Do you think they need to keep the same number of devs to run the game that originally wrote it? They need a lot less. And as for people leaving the game my server is heaving with players. I wish you guys who are trying to bring the game down with your lies would move on to another game.

What happened to 1.4, dev silence is never a good thing, I have played mmo's for a very long time and when the dev's stop talking, something is going on in house and it is not always a good thing for us the paying customer. They said they were going to be at comic con in a :Big way" were they ?
Hows' the new world pvp coming along is there still a team working on it ?
How's the new and improved space coming along or is it ?

I know Bioware does not to talk about things until they get ready to go in game, I don't want details, I would like to know what to look forward to in the future.
I will be the first to admit I am a fanboi of this game, but I am not a rabid or blind fanboi, I hope all these things happen, and more..
Bingo , this are all perfectly valid questions which concern most of the playerbase and on which we need some answers for.
I would say that Bioware communication on the forums and with the community is extremly low and their weekly Q&A aint good enough because what I seen coming from it its only answers on some minor subjects regarding the game without touching all major content aspects which concern most of the playerbase.
