Thanks for ruining SWTOR bioware

AS a solo pve player I was quite happy on low population servers, never doing heroic or flashpoints etc and not really trading on the GTN.

Last month i tried a server change and didnt like it, so went back and created a new character on one of the origin servers which was nice and quiet, a few people around but not too many. Then bioware brought in the mandatory server change by 30th july, so i moved again.

Just started a new jedi knight character and tython is streaming with people, 95 people when i left in frustration (how many of those a free players i have no idea) but i started to try and do some of the fleshraiders missions and walked off towards their area only to have a dozen or so people following or in front of me.

As a solo player this is annoying and ruins my enjoyment of the game because as the game is linear people tend to the missons in the same order, but to level up you need to kill stuff (especially on the bonus missions) which is impossible on the server loads which are now being enforced on us.

The first six mobs on the fleshraider path had all been killed, so where is the enjoyment for a solo player in that when its going to take me ages to level up.

Crowded servers are fine for PVP or Grouping but some people like me dont like that and just want to solo, and seeing we are spending the same money we should be given the same consideration.

So please bioware to something to the many solo players that have now had the game ruined by the server changes.

I don't want to sound to rude, but I mean really...Why should anyone cater to a person that wants to play tor as an RPG, because it IS NOT and rpg, it was never marketed as an rpg. I mean first everyone is attacking BW to get the server transfers active, and now people are complaining about it. If the OP wants to play a RPG swtor, then I recommend buying and old copy of KOTOR, or some other RPG.

Dude...I at least got what you might have been trying to say. Sub RPG with Solo to get the point here.

SWTOR is a RPG - Role Playing Game. RPG is a genre, most all MMO's (another genre) are MMO-RPG's.
RPG means you create a protagonist and customize said protagonist, lvl said protagonist in a story that develops based on your gameplay decisions. This should sound familiar by now

RPG's were so successful that now you see all sorts of games such as first person shooters with RPG elements.
Now sub solo for RPG in your post and you have a very valid point!

Actually, for the majority of MMO players and even game developers (who don't understand RP or assume RP is just online sex chat), the RPG refers only to you playing the role of a Tank or a Healer or a DPS. That's your role. The customization of the character's background, motivations, etc. isn't even considered because they don't have that kind of imagination.

That's why TSW turned out so flat RP-wise. They didn't consider RP enough. They were just worried about making the roles of Tank, Healer, DPS interchangeable, so they didn't even consider that people might want to make characters based around different concepts with different stories and Role Play them. Hence, altaholism stifled, RP elements left out or muddled and it's all about the raids and the loots.

Someday someone will figure out how to meld these two styles of RPG together and on that day we will have an awesome game that everyone can love. Until then we have to make due with what is available.

When groups are waiting in line to kill bosses on Ilum & there are 200 people doing Black Hole dailies at the same time, well, that is as bad if not worse than a low population.
