To the Anonymous Insider

I must be a sucker, I guess. I believe that post has a lot truth in it. I really do believe the fans or so called fans , have helped RUIN this game. These forums by far are the most vile plague of self entitlement Humans I've ever seen in a MMO. Yes BW made a few mistakes with features that should have been in game at the start. But they pumped out these much needed thing's a lot faster then any mmo ever has.
It's sad really, everyday I hop on forums I see the same crying little spoon fed babies , making more insane useless babbling garbage posts. Then it makes it MUCH worse to think, these are full grown adults.

If and when I even quit , it will be because of this trash community, not BW.

I'm thinking both


And this

Exactly, even if it was true that we asked for KoTOR 3 they didnt listen then either. This game is more like WoW than anything else. The only KoTOR I get from this game is the story. Nothing else in this game is riminescent of KoTOR (well, ok, Star Wars too).

I like this game and all ... ive said multiple times that its the best MMO out there for me currently, but IF its a failure, then its definitely not because its "too much like Kotor."

P.S Ive been following this game since day 1 on the forums (2008) and dont remember any significant argument for making this game like Kotor. Even the haters who didnt want it to be an MMO at all were swiftly shot down by most of the community. So I have no idea what this writer is talking about. Hes full of it ... plain and simple.

P.S: After reading the article im thinking its full of it. Just more F2P propaganda prpbably full of lies too and totally misinformed.

A) swtor.com was open and had a forum since Oct 2008 at least! Not 3 months before release.

B) As I said above ive been a part of that community since then and never recall "make it like KoTOR" to be a hot topic ... ever. You'd think an (ex?) Bioware employee would know this.

Not saying itll never happen but this game is far from having the subs low enough to warrant f2p. Id even say the game is growing now with the free trial, and 1.3. When it gets down to 5 low/standard sized servers, like lotro had, then we'll talk f2p. For now, they stand to lose money by going f2p.

Doesn't suprise me really. The big name publishers/corporations (like EA) always pull that kind of crap. The guys at the top always assume they are correct and the customers and employees are idiots. Then they act all confused as to why they don't get the kind of figures they were expecting at the end of the year.

Then the fat-cats decide it's the developer's fault (or even the customers for "not knowing what they want"..) so sacks half of them, because in their own minds it can't possibly be their own bad decisions that are the problem. Basically they pass down the blame to the people who don't have enough influence/money to defend themselves. Rince repeat for the next project.

This can also be applied to governments...

I'm going to make that comment my sig. When this game goes free to play, I'll be sure to look you up for an apology.

This!

And don't forget:

1) No pazaak or swoop racing (fun mini games)
2) No dialog choices that allow you "force persuade" for extra money or to skip combat
3) No ability to kill potential companions (e.g. Julanni)
4) No ability to gain influence and "turn" your companions (KOTOR 2)
5) No unlocking Jedi from force sensitive companions
6) No real quest chains for companions that unlock if you take certain actions
Most epic being
7) Shocking plot twists ... aka


I could go on and on. So I disagree with the article. If anything this game is too little KOTOR and too much WoW. I would happily pay for a quarterly installments of KOTOR stories with some coop / social activities thrown in ... and EA can stuff the raiding and PvP "where it don't shine".

Meh... If its authentic, then it is just another example of BioWare not being able to "get it" when it came to designing and making an MMORPG. Though like with Gordon Walton and JTL, its easier to make up excuses like "RPG players just don't do 3D well," instead of accepting that you just didn't do it right.

Additionally, I don't see why everyone keeps thinking TOR will go F2P when EA's last "flagship" MMORPG, Warhammer Online, still isn't F2P and it crashed a lot harder than TOR has.

High ranking Government Official insider here..... SHHHHHHH!!!!!

It is all relative, right? Nothing any gamer says matters because it is only opinion and all opinion is meaningless? Except, of course, your opinion about the opinions of others . . .

Is it just opinion that SWTOR's numbers are down? Is it just opinion that the game is struggling? There has to be a reason for this . . . and if your "reason" is that gamers are whiners and that is why . . . well, isn't that saying exactly nothing?

That's right bioware can't take the blame for their own mistakes, they must pond them off to us, and claim its our fault, cause as long as its not their fault then "nothing" is wrong. Right Bioware? Thanks for taking my money along with so many other customers money and claiming all the problems of this game is our fault and has nothing to do with you at all, being the creators any everything.... Bad move on your end, you don't derserve jobs, I hope the game does die off and you all get fired and live under a bridge like hobos.

Sincerly yours,
A greatly disappointed customer.
