There are a whole lot of us who DO NOT WANT NEW CONTENT FOR 1.7! Why? You have way more important stuff to worry about.

The quality of life in this game is terrible. You need to make drastic changes soon. I propose Patch 1.7 - Quality of Life.

- We need to be able to sit in chairs.
-We need to be able to customize our appearance (barber shop option)
-We need to be able to play mini-games such as Pazaak
-We need to be able to dual spec
- Implement getting drunk. I know it sounds silly...but I loved that feature in WoW
-We need to have an in-game guild calendar. Easier to set stuff up than just using the message of the day.
-You need to give a huge effort to fix the countless bugs in this game. I was in Voidstar yesterday, we (Republic) dominated it and destroyed the IMPS and capped every door after the IMPS didn't even cap one door.(if you play on PO5, you know just how rare it is to even get a win as a level 50), After we won, we were given the DEFEAT. What?? This place has been buggy since release. Tend to your crap!

Hopefully once (if) it comes time for an expansion, you will tend to other MAJOR changes:
-WORLD EXPLORATION! - As it sits, once you have quested through a planet, you have NO REASON to ever go back there. There needs to be major overhauls on your planets. Make it worth going back to!
-Flying speeders - many are against this because it ruins world-PVP...but guess what? World PVP is already ruined Flying speeders exist in Star Wars, kinda silly they don't exist.
-Off rails space combat. Think Battle Front! Can you imagine an off-rails space combat PVP WZ? Fight your way through enemy lines to board their space station, then fight your way through the station via normal combat to acheiv an objective. Beginning of SW Ep 3 comes to mind.
-Arena system! A little 3v3, 2v2, 5v5 would be awesome! What I DON'T want to see if this comes is making Arena gear the best in the game. There shouldn't be any "Arena gear", just regular Elite War Hero gear would be fine.
-New CTF WZ's.
-Gear-based tiering when you que for WZ's
-Cross server Queing
-Acheivement tab
-Cooking and fishing profession
-Paid server transfer!
-Paid name change!
- MORE THAN ONE BASE. I hate the buggy hell that is the fleet. We need more than one place to call home.

But for now, the focus needs to be on QOL changes for 1.7. Please make it happen...

If these features seem familiar....too much like that "other game". Please spare me the "Go back to WoW!". I don't want to go back to that stupid Panda Express. I hate that game. But they do have features that BW could learn from and would do well to implement.

I understand that SWTOR is in its vanilla stage, but changes need to be made soon or it will follow SWG before you know it.
I agree with you OP... that's why I'm quitting this game (if most of this is not fixed) before ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE get's released.

That's a good article actually. I had a rough idea along those lines of how it worked in the background.

I highly support this!!!

Those quality of life features announced pre-launch NEED to be here. Take people off of cartel-market crap and get it done. There's chair-themed mounts but no regular chairs? What the heck? Every player should be given a speed-1 (slow) hover chair of some kind as a work-around so we can all at least sit down sometimes!

OK, so there are different teams. There's an "art team" there's "bug fix" team. The article does not explain why the cartel-market item team (the one that made various chair themed mounts) can't send every player a chair of some kind and say merry-life day, here's the chairs we promised in March.

It does not explain why the world builders (the ones who re-arrange npcs from time to time on Nar Shadda for some reason) could not add the already existing captain's chairs around a table in every cantina.

Daniel Erickson said it was "emberrassing" we didn't have these features already back in march of 2012. I agree. It's as if they only want to add features that they can advertise in a mailer and "We finally have chair-sitting" just sounds pathetic, so they don't do it. Or who knows why they don't do it, but they need to know that broken promises piss off those who've been patient enough to stay subbed all year.

Also to state that the writer of that article HAS NOT NOR EVER worked on an MMO. He says so himself on his thread and many people on that thread show him that he does indeed talk directly out of his rear.
