400k people quit playing in the first quarter... many more since then. Im sorry but you are the minority.
Hehe. I never said it didn't exist - you provided that line for me. I would thank you except they weren't my words. I won't ask to prove those thousands you mention because it too doesn't matter. Whether or not I am in the minority is also subjective. Without numbers, everything is subjective. But if it improves your self confidence I'll happily concede that you are right on every count.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Where did I say it was a success or the cost to make this game? I said...I see these types of threads A LOT from different games. People like to complain and claim "where is the content?!?! There is nothing to do and I am quitting!"

Why is it that I can go to The Secret World and see people complaining about being bored with no content to play there too? If I got a dollar for all these threads...I would be a rich man by now.

"At least the launcher wasn't crashing like WoW's did for 11 months. "

Your exact words.

From the countless hours I've played my gameplay experience has been the exact opposite of that, 8 droids trying to kill me and my companion.

What you are referring to is EV and I think its pretty sad to think one raid encouter summarizes everything this game has to offer.

I'm playing it for Star Wars, and Bioware has showed me amazing games, and had the power to change my feelings in their previous games and some Class Stories. This if off-topic, but just putting it out there. It's life. L2P in it.

Touche! Cept that one raid encounter was the first very encounter of the very first raid they launched with. To say 8 people beating up on a droid isnt heroic, and then make your game's first raid start with 8 people beating up on one droid seems kind of contradictory.

And yeah I agree with 8 droids beating on you and your companion is heroic. Scratch that, packs of 3-4. All of them standing around idly until you run up to them and engage.

Your exact words.
Indeed. WoW's launcher was so widespread unstable that it took 12 months (Patch 1.8.3) to fix it. They were giving out free time like candy for the first six months the game was live it was so bad. In that patch they incorporated a major Add-On fix because implementing add-ons was crashing the front end.

To answer your question honestly ... does the launcher crash? For some I'm sure it does. Is it a dealbreaker? For some I'm sure it is. But since there are also people in these forums who rant that voice-acted questgiver dialogue is a dealbreaker. They really lied about that one too I'd imagine. Regardless, if imperfection in a video game is a dealbreaker for some, then I honestly feel sorry for them.

Well the charge to the prison was kind of heroic
