Anyone else annoyed by crowded planets?

It's a good sign that low level areas are packed.

It's a bad sign that the level 25+ areas are mostly empty. It tells me they are getting new people, but they (still) aren't staying.

Its not really a problem past Nar Shaddaa. By the time you hit Quesh its back to 20 or less most of the time. The early planets are all the folks trying for free....it is clear many are not making it much past 20.

Wow...Okay. Okay.... okay. Let me break down why you man-children will never be pleased with anything in an MMO ever.

At launch there's queues and full servers. Constant whining.
Few months later, there's a lot less people. The whining for merges begins.
Another few months pass. Total whinefest about low population.
F2P launches. People now whine about full planets; not even server queues, but just having full planets is enough to whine about.

The circle is now complete.

This precisely. I mean come on planets are too full now?!?! Give me a break...

I honestly have mixed feelings about the higher populations. On the one hand, it's awesome to just wander into a heroic area and find half a dozen people already there already doing the quest. You don't have to formally group with them, you just jump in and start taking down champions and elites. That's nice. Having other people around who will jump in if you've bitten off more than you can chew in a fight is nice too and I try to return the favor.

On the other hand the chat on the starter planets is just a cesspool. It's awful. It's beyond awful. Every time I've tried to roll a new toon I end up giving up because the chat is ALWAYS a fight about politics and/or religion. When it's not, it's a talk about bacon or explicit talk about how they want to have sex with the various NPC. It is by far the worst I've seen. It's awful.

Fortunately, this filters out by the time you get to 20-25. Apparently no one is sticking around that long.

The issue isn't really the other people, there is problem with 2 systems in the game.

The first is with clickies. They need to spawn per player not per world. Meaning they should be sort of in a different phase for each player. GW2 does this perfectly. If a clickie is clicked on by player A it is st still visible and clickable for player B, yet it is gone for player A.

The second is mob tagging. It needs to be removed plain and simple. It was an old band aid solution to an issue that just doesn't need to exist anymore. If you hit the mob you should get credit when it dies, regardless of how much damage you do to it. It would work that way if you were grouped, this just saves the trouble of constantly having to be in a group with whoever happens to be around you. We are all on the same side it should be a give we are going to help one another, not fight against each other to complete quests.
