Servers on the decline again....

This.

That's been said a great many times.

They stuff they've done right is incredible, but they really needed to be beefing up the flaws 6+ months ago, and yet still no new about it even.

Usually hits a fair bit earlier than now, but it may be that adding to things.

Woohoo, another thread filled with future seeing WOW drones.

Its funny people will get on here and deny that the game is in decline. It is very obviously in decline and has been from the start.

I wonder what would cause them to accept reality?

Which means what, exactly? If they are having fun then why is it your job to say "Oh no this game is losing subscribers, how dare you enjoy it! Stop that right now!" Why do all the pessimists insist on sitting on these forums and demanding everyone get as fatalistic as they are? Instead of telling everyone "I unsubscribed from this game 37 years ago and am playing [insert whatever game you want here], I can't believe anyone still plays TOR" how about you all just shut up and play your new game of choice quietly?

That being said I am not renewing my subscription (which runs out in 2 weeks) until I see how badly GW2 damages TOR. I my be tired of seeing constant trolling but I am a realist as well.

Get used to this decline cuz it will become very "normal" soon enough.

Being a realist means accept unpalatable truths.

Being an optimist means hoping they have go a Jump to Lightspeed expansion up their sleeves.

I'll be honest, I unsubbed. My sub doesn't end until September, however, but I haven't logged in since 1.2. Haven't even downlaoded 1.3. Nothing in it interests me....

I unsubbed because there is literally nothing left for me to do in game, and I didn't rush. I took my time, 4 hours a day about 5 days a week at best.

My issue isn't so much with the lack of end game content, it's the lack of attempts to add to it. Three major updates come out and we got almost nothing new to do. I can't help but say it again, all that work on the useless Legacy system could have been used to make new content for end game.

Granted, the game isn't a year old, but when you release 3 updates which add content that only increases how fast you can do the content that is there...someone has to wonder who was drinking the wrong punch. When you have so little to do at endgame already, why would you give people the tools to rush through it even faster.

I don't dislike the Legacy system, but it was something that should have been in at launch. By the time we got it, the majority of the players didn't need it. Imagine how much more could have been added to the end game had they just held the legacy system back.

My entire guild, 178 people first 30 days of launch, have moved on except myself and 2 others. They all left for the same reason. Yes, I know there are OP's and flashpoints to do, and there is PvP as well as daily missions. But honeslty, how long one person do those things before they start looking for something else to do?

They could have given us a new mission line each month, even if it was 5 dailies and a 5 part story piece, and half my guild would have stayed. It wold have at least shown an effort to get end game content in. Instead, they keep going over what is already in and adding to the low level content with Legacy and it's associated perks.

Well, that's great...but there was plenty to do do low levels anyway.

Whatever. No sense kicking the dead horse. With the forced server mergers coming, it will kill my intentions to play again. My server was transferred to a server that I would have lost all my character names but one, including my legacy name (which was strange because it isn't very common). I pre-ordered to get early access to assure my character names. And now I am forced to give them up because I can't pick where I transfer to? if anyone in my guild came back later, they wouldn't find me since all my characters would have new names.

Might seem trivial to many people, but our characters are supposed to be more than just pixels on a screen. We grow attached to them.

So, yeah. I unsubbed. And in the grand scheme of things, most don't care. But there are ton of players who feel like I do, maybe not for the exact same reasons, but they still just aren't happy with the game. But it's okay, just keep thinking that the decline is only a momentary thing. With other games coming out, GW2 doesn't even have a sub...it's silly to think that people would stick around when they aren't happy.

Personally, I am looking at The Secret World. They do monthly content updates. Sure, might not be expansion worthy stuff, but like I said. Something is better than nothing, at least you know your money is being spent on the game and not on some random pizza party that you aren't even invited to.

Core problems? Lol? The "core problems" have always been changing. First it was the bugs and they fixed 99.99% of the bugs until there are NO game breaking bugs. Group finder? In game. Ranked WZ? In game. Legacy? In game. Reduced load screens both in load times and number by getting rid of orbital stations? Finished. Empty servers? Now there are 5x more people on each server.

The people who like to cry (like you) will find reasons to cry. They never enumerate their grievances(like you). They never say "this is what's wrong" and when they do, as soon as it's fixed they "find" something else.

There are VERY few actual problems with the game. The lack of world PVP is the ONLY problem I have with the game right now and ranked are keeping me occupied enough that I don't care about that right now, they can take their time to get it right while I enjoy ranked warzones.
