Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Well look into that
Its not in game? I wasnt aware
Thats on the board but no timetable
We cant talk about that yet

How long ago was the guild summit? Have we heard anything about it since? No.
Jesus Christ. WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO SAY, Soluss?! WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO SAY BESIDES PR SPIN?! THAT'S NOT HOW BUSINESS WORKS!!!!!! When you get a defective printer, do you ask for them for exact printer schematics and software stuff on why your printer isn't working with Windows XP? NO. You DON'T. Do you ask them for a detailed analysis on a timetable of when they're gonna get it out? NO. It's ONLY MMO message boarders that do this. It just drives me nuts because there's NOTHING Bioware can say at this point to anybody about anything that's going to be remotely useful. 'Yes we're working on that,'. THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL THEY CAN SAY. I don't get why people don't get this. ************ on the boards doesn't get it done faster, and I don't get why people think that works.

I WILL. Because they're being overly dramatic and idiotic. I didn't need your permission, but it makes me feel better now that I have it. Thanks Crash!

Sub runs out before the month ends. I'll be there.

Hey at least I didn't create a "I Quit" thread.
Awesome! See ya there dude, been there!

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=506185. Here is a 46 page long thread on it just days old. It has been going on since beta. Thousands were and are effected by it. You claimed it doesnt exist because it didnt effect you on your commodore 64.

400k people quit playing in the first quarter... many more since then. Im sorry but you are the minority.

..... I don't think you know what the word minority means. if you are suggesting that everyone who quit, quit because of launcher problems that would mean ruffly 700k people quit with 1.3 million still playing. That means 700k would be the minority.

It's not that they think it works. It has more to do with the inner peace they feel from flamethrowing a fireside chat.

If I bought a new printer and it was broke, I would return it to the store. You cant do that with software man. If I liked the printer, they would give me a new one in its place. Bad analogy.

Im sorry what you dont understand. Most MMOs have communication with their fan base. Devs interact in threads and explain things. This one does not. No, 5 worthless questions a week are not communication. I pay for service then I expect to recieve service. What we have is a half baked game that is going down the tubes. I want to be reassured that the game is going SOMEWHERE before I continue to pay them.

You lump me with the "haters", im sure... but a hater I am not. Im just a customer that doesnt want to see this game goes down the tubes. If it is going down the tubes, then I dont want to continue wasting my money on it. Im trying to support them with my sub but its looking bleak.

If you owned a company and everyone thought you company was taking a ****... would you keep silent and let it continue to take a **** or would you try to stop it?

And if you think SW:TOR is the first MMO where "countless" people quit playing...because "it sucks and lacks content etc" everyone here is wrong. Every MMO has the same issues these days...because it's WAY too easy to level up to max lv. Back in the good old days of EQ...where leveling was a full time job...people were not max level in a few weeks burning thur content faster than companies can make it. That and the end game raiding content WAS tough, and took months to gear players up too. Huge grinds that a lot of people are not into these days etc

I see these types of threads from different MMO games all the time. The Secret World is out only a few weeks, and people have "nothing to do" there too it seems lol. But I refuse to play a game like EQ again. What was I thinking back then lol

Holy crap man. If you think im claiming that 400k+ people quit over the launcher then you have problems. If you really think 1.3 million people are still playing this game then I have a lump of **** that I would like to sell you.

If you are going to comment then read the whole conversation. He claimed "atleast this game didnt have a launcher problem like WoW for 11 months" I pointed out his claim is wrong.

Countless MMOs dont cost over 200 million bucks to make. Countless MMOs dont pay a fee to Lucasarts. If you think this game is a success you are wrong sorry.
