Goes with the gaming industry - unfortunately. All MMOs have that - and I can mention specific examples for pretty much all established ones, including WoW, Rift, EQ2, Vanguard - and so on.

Developers like to promise because they're not quite sure how much work something takes, or how big a success something will be. It happens.

But they're all evil and did this just to get you, right?

The game what it is. It is the compromise between developers visons and time/technical constraint. Some people likle the gameplay, the mechanics design, others don't. It's natural.

There is no denying there are bugs, much like every new piece of computer software. Most have been ironed out, some remaining. You didn't mention but, being online game, there is lag and disconnect problem too. It's part of the thing you are willing to accept or you don't.

So you made, in your judgement, a bad purchase. Geez, at 40 years old this is the only bad purchase you've ever made. Never been to a restaurant and hated what you ordered, never bought a bad car, never went on vacation whishing you had gone somewhere else, bought a TV and find out it was not as good as advertised?
You have never made in your entire life a purchase you regreted before that game?

I recently bought Diablo 3, man, that was THE worst 60€ i ever spent. I had absolutely no fun in that game, i just bite into the hype, i shouldn't have, a learning experience. But you'll never see any rage post on their forum from me, that is not who i am, i just write it as a loss and move on

Well, here is my 37 years old piece of wisdom. "**** happens", just move on, no need to waste your time and energy (since money is already wasted) into bashing and spitting on a game

What do you mean attack? if you don't like their product, don't buy it. If you made a bad purchase, you are the one at fault.

In 6 years, I'll be your age. Here's hoping I learn to articulate my points at the same high level

So when something is witty (And it is.. to me!) I use it if I see fit.

And yes, I do believe were sinking, read all the F2P posts and look at all the locked empty servers that once were full (be it 6 months ago), a blind dog could see that a great many have departed.

September will be even darker, be it the soon released other games or the F2P model, this can't bode well (imo ofc).
Does not seem as though you are being truthful regarding your age.

Your utilization of conjecture as reference in support of your argument is indicative of the mid teen level. Your ad-hominem attacks (fanboi), attacking the poster rather then the argument is also relative to that age group. Your lack of substance in your argument, using bullying tactics and rumor rather then legitimate information, reference, substance would also not seem that of a man in his 30s. Just the basic confrontational and dramatic approach would provide for contradiction.

The entirety of the post was such. Arguing that those whom disagree with you are the product of a failed education system, no matter how veiled it is, is, in fact, an ad-hominem attack.

I will discontinue this discussion with you though. With the reference to the education system, I felt that I was speaking to an adult of some sort. That childish reference to "fool" is a clear indication that I am not.

Try 42, and no one is bullying anyone. People attacked and made smart *** remarks, then started to insult and abuse. Why? Because I disagreed and make fun of their awesome game. So if anyone is being bullied, it's me!

If he's blaming the fans for it's current state he's right, there are systems here that are bare bones or flat out useless without others all because of fear of the incredibly angry and loud forum minority. Fear of the minority of the minority. The fear of any kind of change/risk the stagnation swtor suffers now will only get worse until the dev team nuts up a little.
