No our job, Bioware's job. It's our job to pay them and if we have problems with paying them we should be expected to let them know why we're having problems paying them before we just stop all together.

There's nothing keeping me here except for that irrational little hope I have that BioWare will somehow save the game.

Sometimes I forget SWTOR was the game they promoted with those 3 trailers, that had me so excited last year lol.
Honestly, two other things keeping me from leaving SWTOR:
  • I'm an avid Star Wars fan.
  • The friends that are still playing and the guilds I run.

There are times where I do feel, "Why am I still subscribed to this game? Why am I spilling money out for a game that seems like it's heading down the road for a true TORtanic? This game may only end up living on a slim player-base of fanboy supporters and/or for those who really love Star Wars. It'll be dead to everyone but those very few who are still playing this game by the time BioWare decides they need to be flexible and adapt to F2P (or probably really P2W).

Also, I just don't want to unsub because of all the friends and guilds I'm in on SWTOR. I just can't drop the hat on everyone and everything and say, "Hey, guys, I'm leaving! Good luck on the TORtanic!" Although, that's something I kinda wanna say.

There are times where I do enjoy the game; there are times where I try to enjoy the game; and there are times where I simply just want to quit for good.

We're customers. We're supposed to let the developers know how we feel about the game—that's why you see so many posts like these. The thing that sets this post apart from others is that it's telling a specific player-base of SWTOR (particularly the fanbois) to stop telling others to create alternative characters to experience the full game and to stop complaining about how this game has an endless amount of content—because it does NOT.

If this game does have an endless amount of content, why are we seeing so many negative threads about a lack of this or a lack of that. These types of players need to see the truth of this.

I'm sorry to say but I'm slowly coming to realization that SWTOR may becoming a TORtanic.

It's not as if BW will pay any attention to anything written here (they show no evidence of having done so up to now), plus if a multi-million dollar games company has to resort to reading it's own forums to figure out what's going wrong with their game, things are already beyond the point of no return.

I never said I unsubbed or said I was going to.

I do admit, however, that I might be one of those players that shall unsub once this game is truly recognized by a majority of the MMO players as a sunken TORtanic when the time comes.

It aint perfect but nothing else interests me atm so I'm willing to continue being patient. I did actually like 1.2, so they continue bringing quality of 1.2 but at a somewhat faster rate (or higher quantity per patch) then Im happy.

Went back to WoW for a week using Scroll of Ressurection - cba subbing to that, it is dead atm. Maybe MoP would make it interesting but the general direction they're taking that game is more casual than Swtor ever was and just generally a bit dull.
Sure theyve got a lot of additional content, and their pokemon style pet battles may seem lame, but little mini-games like that do entertain some people.

Unless it is something repeatable that does not get repetitive, like RvR, then for those people who claim the story is too repetitive, that is just delaying, for at maximum, a few weeks, before they complain again.

Something I feel like what's supposed to keep players delayed is the gosh darn Legacy system. That feature is just nothing but a pure grind. I seriously hate it for it being such a grind, so I really just don't pay attention to it. The only features I do pay attention to is the unlockables that give you more XP for turning in Class Story quests and doing WZs.

I also think if BioWare keeps their mindset of how players want more of Story, then this game will truly be dead. We'll be burning through their stories so fast it'll just seem like they didn't add any quality and/or variety in any of their other content.

Thing is, there are two crowds basically split down the middle, those who play this game FOR the story (like me) and those who want all the general MMO features, like endgame raiding and RvR, so if they start giving one crowd something, they will lose the other.

Unfortunately, instead of sticking to story like they claimed they would, they are delivering to a crowd that won't stay anyway, I am sure some will, but when games like GW2 comes around, they will jump boat to that one for a couple of months, rinse and repeat.

This game just was not designed with the general MMO crowd in mind and now that they have switched priorities, despite the fact they will never draw a crowd that loves PvP, when GW2 comes about anyways, it is senseless, sticking with the story is the only way they will hold a viable population.
