Why? Because their tune never changed since then. It was the same crap about feeling heroic and how they`ll bring MMO to a new level.
When did they say they were going to bring MMOs to a new level? I remember them saying they WERENT re inventing the wheel, they were just adding the Story pillar. I know this for a fact,because since 2008 all the way up until about a year to release, story was ALL they wanted to talk about.

The sad truth is that BW is not only developer with unrealized promises to their community.
Maybe they wanted best and wanted to implement most of those promised things but time worked against them and EA pressure on them to push the game out for Christmas release so that many features which they originally planned for the game where cuted from release.

MMOS are type of games which are constantly in development and in which are constantly added new things during their lifespan so maybe some of those features will come in the future updates.

You just put an image of all of the forum posters competing in the Olympics, it is a very funny picture I can't stop laughing.

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

Dont take my word for it. Just watch man... its happening all around you. Just because the die hards dont see it, does not mean it isnt happening. Ive been in enough MMOs to see it happen and I know what I see.

The SAME complaints, the SAME arguments, and the SAME people saying the SAME things. Idiots, the lot of you. I would like to see some examples of other MMO developers who said they were going to do one thing, and than did another. There would be a lot, methinks. Topic is dumb, people are dumb, SW:TOR boards are Gamefaqs level. Congrats.
Then you just don't get it, the complaints wouldn't exist in this volume if the Devs did something.

Id say it was more the Testers than EA. Alot of stuff got cut during the testing phase. Killing companions, Meaningful Choices. Hell that whole kill the captain thing, made alot of players angry.

Alot of choices in the game were supposed to open up more content later on, but players didnt like that they would miss out on content because of their choices. For example they even showed a video one time of the Jedi knight sparing the Sith's life on tatooine, and then later in the game you got to see the sith again and here about how his jedi training was going.

That got cut during testing, along with how if you let the captain live you could get quests from him later on. Had nothing to do with EA. Alot of this stuff got cut during testing, by player feedback. So did crafting, and Modding.

"We're going to MMOs to a new level in the way the combat unfolds in The Old Republic"

Okay...well they delivered that we have the cinematic like combat. How does this have anything to do with Raids, or PVP?
