Its very foolish if you think that for MMOS story arc romances are more important than actual MMO features.

I mean untill we dont get some form of horizontal progression like mini - games, more dynamic events etc and social content for community to have fun while devs create new content.

Untill there is fix for world PvP since we had fiasco with Illum - atm there is no point of PvP servers

Actual achievement system which works and which is practical

3D space combat and free roam which would appeal to everyone

I dont see how romance arcs should be priority in development over this features and no matter how much you spin it a lot more ppl will care more about new raids and warzones than about romance arcs because players which pay monthly for content need to have things to do in this game on regular basis.

When BW sorts out all those things which are actually important for proper MMO than they can invest their resources into making new romance arcs but untill than you should be happy with every update to stories in the game.

And to any thoughts that anyone else has that this is a very small minority that no one should really care about.

BiOWare has one of the largest LGBT Gamer followings in the whole industry, then look back at the original debates, which were capping three incarnations every day about SGRAs, meaning thousands of posts were made on the subject the entire time, look at social.bioware.com there is a far larger LGBT fanbase on there than on here and having been there for years myself, a lot of people there would be more interested in TOR, if SGRAs were finally implemented than they were originally.
The writing team is churning out content for 1.4 and beyond. To assume they sit around while the mechanics and systems development team works hard, is false. In fact, it's arrogant to assume that your minority is more important than say, Polygamists who want multiple wives or those people who want to romance animals (yes, they do exist).

My whole issue is with people trying to politicize a game, when it's just that: a game. This isn't a LGBT Rally where you can shout loud enough and get what you want. I have no problems with the LGBT community at all, but they are a minority in SWTOR, and as such they pay less. It makes no real business sense for BW to make the other demographic mad by adding in SGRA. Get over it.

It's obvious that no one here actually cares about any facts and just wants to bury the subject, so it doesn't make them 'uncomfortable', but sucks to be you, it is already announced for this year.

Lol you need to read your comments again if you think you don't have a problem with gays. Gay and Straight relationships have nothing to do with animals. Btw is your name Bill O'Reilly?
The best MMO I have played in a long time. Not perfect but pretty close to it.

No what stinks is the tone you use to communicate here. Being argumentative to even people who support your cause isn't going to help you.

Never said you were a gay basher but your comment wasn't exactly nice.

Mommy lied when she said everyone would be nice. My comment was logically sound and appropriate within the context of this thread.

Don't really care what you're mommy said. Your comment was logical in your opinion and you do have an issue with the gay community or you wouldn't have commented in the manner you chose to.
