well adding new P2W items to the CS is possible to do. It's content strictly speaking

Bioware couldn't roll out content month after month like they said. You seriously expect them to give content on a weeky basis?

The only way this will happen is if the weekly content they roll out is pants.

There was no lie, the same fan base that is complaining about it are basically the one's that caused it.
I'm confused. Are players to take blame for all this because they demand quality or should developers be professionals and know better how to provide it?

Let's just take group finder:

WoW: No
EQ2: No
LotRO: No
SWG: No
DDO: Yes
GW2: No
AoC: No
Rift: No
TOR: No
TERA: Yes

So... out of 10 games listed here, with a wide range of release dates both Pre-and Post WoW LFG-tool... only 2 had LFG at launch... one on each side of WoW's implementation. Your assessment that "most MMO's have [these features] at launch" is incorrect. Yes, these features have become standard in modern MMOs, but they are not a standard launch feature.

The numbers are a bit better on UI customization, sure, and I will agree that should have been in at launch. That said, sometimes things have to be sacrificed in pre-launch development in order to minimize bugs and provide a clean(er) launch experience.

I'm tired of everyone saying content delivery is atrociously slow. Compare the amount of new content that has been added in the 9 months since launch to the amount of content Blizzard has added to WoW in the 21 months since Cata launch, and you'll see TOR isn't really that slow.

Would be nice if people would start looking at the facts, instead of making up these crazy accusations. I could make a political analogy here, but I'll refrain.
It should also be noted the Group Finder was near the top of their list during beta, though the community kicked and screamed about how it would destroy the playing community, so it was dropped from launch.

Sure EA/Bioware have made mistakes in the game, though the community needs to also take some responsibilty as well.

it should also be noted that no MMO has ever launched with a group finder. in fact Group finder is still a relatively new function (speaking of the WoW version of course)

WoW added thiers in 2009 during wrath of the Lich King.

There are currently only 3 MMOs with one now.

SWTOR
Rift
Aion

None of those had it in at launch.

I'm sorry, but this is completely unrealistic to anyone who has ever done any kind of significant program or application development.

No one can develop new content at the rate that players can consume that new content. No one.

You would have to be paying a $60/month subscription rate to even be close to affording the enormous development team to be able to produce content on such a schedule.

You do realize a LOT of major issues were going inside BioWare right? From firings to top people leaving etc. The game lost all direction. So how were they supposed to produce content when the company was in chaos. They now have the structure in place and back to business as usual. We all know the new direction for the game which is a HUGE change. So that means things changed likely from what the programmers may have been working on to doing other things.

So what they have been showing now is the new content actually coming and yes it is coming soon. I would bet sometime in Sept. Maybe early to mid. If this chaos never happened and things were smooth in the office, then I am sure there would have been a lot of content out by now. But things happen. Get over it.

I will say I actually am glad there was this long break because I was able to level a few alts and see different story lines and decide if I want to keep my sorc still my main or not.

I like this game, im a star wars fan as well and I like it. i played star wars galaxies before for 8 years and I will play this till the next star wars mmo comes out. If your not happy then leave nobody makes you stay. If you want to play the next big title then go fill your boots but I do wish folk try and say we all dislike the game because we dont. Sure world pvp could be sorted better but on the whole its a fun game.
You will learn your place young one
