Wish I knew how terrible the community on the forums would be and where they lived so I could rid the world of their corruption, hate, negativity.

Honestly wish I knew that my server was going to be small and would have gotten all the active raiders/pvps in one guild and worked together to build a strong community with great people before they abandoned ship thinking no one was at the ships wheels.

That bugs I reported for 6 months in beta would go unrepaired to this day.

That bugs I reported while playing on the PTS would go ignored.

That Bioware really does not value our input. (They do as long as it is cash money input, but no other input is desired aparently based upon their actions.)

That forced transfers by the 30th are in fact not server mergers???

That dispite a character limit of 8 per server they want me to somehow transfer 8 of the characters I do currently play to a server that is full of level 50 characters. (They are so adamant that I perform the imposible they enjoy ruining my gaming there with incessant screen filling notes to transfer when I can't.)

That SWTOR is in fact less fun than the games i do play when SWTOR pisses me off enough to require a break.

That SWTOR is completely about gear - not about character development.

That I'd be the last of my friends from other games left in SWTOR, and the last of my friends left from my guild in SWTOR and in such a short amount of time after release.

That it is really quite stupid to buy a six month sub thinking it would be more economical in the long run over a month to month (If month to month I'd have been gone ages ago).

That Bioware speaks out of both sides of their face.

That SWTORs Customer service is the worst I've experienced anywhere.
All of this.

Oh man, I'm sorry you have to read stuff on the internet. I'm so happy I'm from America and we get to ignore stuff people say. Good luck with your murders though.

I wish i knew that Bioware were Bioware in name only, they're now just another EA sweatshop filled with developers who don't understand games and don't know how to create their own game engine.

How much fun I'd still be having playing the game, despite all the obvious problems adversely affecting it.
It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

This sums it all up quite nicely and bears repeating.

That you could change your maximum zoom setting.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?
