What a complete CROCK! I haven't been asking for a freaking HK-51 droid, have you? Has anyone here asked for HK-51? I don't care about the droid, I want some freaking CONTENT, like new Operations. The current 3 take all of 3 hours to run, 2 on nightmare mode, one on story, and because of the brilliant 1980's era 'lockout timer', I get to do that a whole ONE time per week. For PvP, I'm stuck in the same 3 rotating boxes that we've had since launch, and 1 that's so similar to the others, it should have been.

I accept absolutely ZERO responsibility for the condition this game is currently in. If anything, they should be thanking me (us) for sticking around while my last server died.
Someone here doesn't understand how long it takes to develop new content. Its not like they can go WAAAAMO and new content comes flying out of their magical fingertips.

If you play the game so much that you have ALL of the content completed, I have a new content suggestion for you: outside.

The devs appreciate constructive criticism, not WHINE WHINE WHINE MEMEEMMEMEMEMEME GLAAARGGH.

OK. That's fair. And its YOUR RIGHT to stop playing and vote with your wallet.

If you are claiming this is ^&%$ customer service, then stop complaining and out your money where your mouth is. For my $15 a month, I am getting enough service to satisfy my need for the game. If you're not, shut it and do something about it.

How many people play that thing called space on a regular basis? And finally.... this was what was talked about comming in the next year... if this is all they have planned for the rest of the year then they are in serious trouble.
THIS
Bioware seem to think that the endgame comprises of running tedious dailies and the SAME flashpoints we already did while leveling for weeks in order to get geared for the 3 Ops we have. Don't want to do that? Just do the same Warzones constantly instead. If you want to play more than that (totally absurd, right?) , then the Bioware supporters have 3 choices for you:
1. You are a troll, go away
2. Stop running through content so quickly, jeez!
3. Go outside
Makeb will be cleared by many in a day, maybe 2. The HK quest will last perhaps slightly longer, and won't be revisited. HK will end up sitting on the ship with the rest of the boring/useless companions.

Dude, don't pretend to know my playing schedule and don't insult me with childish remarks like "go outside", or your pathetic come back of "whine whine whine". You act like I'm alone in my request for more content end game group content. Open your eyes! Or don't...go ahead and insult people who want this game to do well...

I don't give a flip what the "Devs" appreciate lol, I'm not paying my sub fee to appease them. They sell ME a service, not the other way around. Bioware had a development staff of 600+ employees as recently as 6 weeks ago, and 400+ as of Friday - this game doesn't reflect the best effort of even 100 employees. It's a shallow cluster **edit**!

First, I'd like to note your silly use of immature strawman arguments. Really, really childish.
As far as content goes, Bioware had 6 years before even releasing the game to have some decent content available at launch. This is STAR WARS. If Bioware can't pump out even small content like a world event regularly then there really is no hope for the game.

First, I like this game a lot and hope that it is successful.

Second, I am a long time MMO player since early EverQuest. I came here from "the game that shall not be named".

The concerns regarding communication and developers ignoring feedback have merit.

My concerns are not so much about being given feedback on exactly when new content etc is coming out, but rather with the ignoring of player feedback on forums and from players in BETA when balancing classes.

Many subs were lost post (including many theory crafters) after 1.2 came out. The Dev's were warned about the affects on class balance in instances where they took a nerf sledgehammer to a class that just needed tweaking (ie: Bodyguard mercs and DPS Operatives).

It is this lack of listening to real world player concerns because GZ's "metrics" showed otherwise that have had a major negative impact on the game imo. Damage meters and rated teams in WZ have proven that most of the concerns of the community were spot on. Healers in particular have been ignored.

The reality is that the community on this forum represents a small percentage in actual players.
Another reality is that 95-99% of the people are more interested in complaining and QQ about every little thing.

Someone opens a thread about lack of response from Bioware and next thing you know there is another, and another. Then the cries of game dying or F2P start all over again.
People complain that staff are laid off - oh no the game is going down.
People complain because they don't know the sub numbers - oh no Bioware is lying to us and the game is dying

Honestly I don't blame them for being a little non responsive
If I'm not back in 5 minutes - - - - Just wait Longer.

Welcome to real life. Bioware owes you nothing but access to their game. Nothing else. Become a better consumer and make a decision. And when did you become the expert on development? Seriously. Get a grip. Their entire staff doesn't work on TOR.

It appears your not happy. Fine. However what you just wrote is factually unverifiable and totally none actionable. Not only that its just rude.

Really guy come on. Gripes are one thing but that was just a rant.
