Btw, I have a question. When someone talks about something negative about TOR, have they EVER posted ANY evidence at all? Or have i just not seen it?
I force choke because i find it funny.

Its dynamic because it they could happen at anytime. If you got past the starter zone you would see this. They are dynamic because if you actually fail then things happen differently. For instance, due to lag and spell delay, we failed an event. When the lag went away and we respawned we saw that the event had taken over and road blocked the only bridge to the city.

Things that could happen in these, yes dynamic, events are pretty big. Things like ... you fail and the npcs take over the town. They burn the town down and build their own town. They start sending out waves from that town to the next. It doesnt stop until you take it back. Thats pretty dynamic for a video game.

The rakgoul event was cool yes... but it doesnt touch on the events that GW2 and Rift have.

Do you somehow need to post evidence of your opinion nowadays?

For instance, I dont feel we have enough quality content. I think they should be working on other things like mini games and free roaming space... that encumbers both raids and pvp. I feel the legacy system is a sucky credit sink in its current state and they did a 180 even further this last round. These are just a few examples of how I negatively feel about this game.

Do I need to show proof of these negative comments?

You can't claim the developer team doesn't communicate when there's a weekly Q&A where they directly answer questions from the players. You can't say the developers don't communicate with the players when they have already held a guild summit in which over 300 players got the opportunity to sit down face to face with the developers and speak to them. The developers are constantly releasing news on twitter and facebook. They even have an official podcast in which they detail upcoming plans for the game and a myriad of other topics that concern the players.

As far as content is concerned, in 7 months we've seen a dynamic event, a new warzone, a new operation, a new flashpoint, and a new questing area for dailies on Corellia. We've also seen plans for a new quest line (HK-51) a new space mission, a new planet and a new species.

Seriously, I don't understand the internet's impatience with gaming. Sometimes I think the only way to satisfy the internet when it comes to MMOs is to release 50 years worth of content on day one and then another 50 on day 2 because by then all your "hardcore" gamers will have burned through half that day 1 content already.
How about listen to podcasts, or check out the twiters etc.

Or they could post it on the forums where there is supposed to be official information about the game.

Yeah, I wouldn't really discribe Rifts events as "dyanamic", but they certainly moved the eye away from the usual staticness of the MMORPG world, and were certainly as big a step towards something that might be truely dynamic as been seen in the MMORPG world since...... welll probably since spawn timers were invented.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Hell at least they have come out with some patches recently. Look at WoW, currently they've been stuck with the same raid content for damn near a year and might hit a year depending when MoP gets released.

Communication about the big issues this game is facing does need to improve though. Great they can answer some questions every two weeks but they dodge the big ones.

Seems like a double standard to me.
