9 weeks would be Tuesday - 1.7?

i have a theory. they didn't add weekly patches these 2 weeks because they want to add 1.7 without any bug and they are not gonna test it. why do i think they are not gonna test it? because they said in the second livestream that the character copy for the PST Server will be for Makeb

I can never be mistaken or wrong about what I feel

I will tell you claimed you had a "right" when you don't. Whether you want to use touchy-feely words like "I feel as if I" or not. Saying "I feel as" or "I feel I have a..."

...is the same thing as saying "I have a right to something". You're just trying to pad it with extra nonsense. Feeling you have a right to something and saying you have a right to something are the same thing. You're a human being making a statement about your thoughts and beliefs. Both statements are equally wrong.

On that matter, you as a consumer do not have a right to anything other than your license. You can feel it all you want. You don't have a right to it.

A lot of subscriptions renew in the following few weeks so I'm pretty sure they will do their best to get 1.7 out as quick as they can. They won't want to miss that money coming in.

The store is their focus now. Subscriptions are now a "nice to have" thing. Subscriptions no longer have any power.

that may be true for you personally, but it isnt true overall. the more info any game ( even single player games ) release early, the more negative threads/posts/twitter garbage/rage rants on youtube.

has been true with every comment and interview all the way back before launch even. just take BW saying their goal is a 6-8 week content patch cycle. first off, 90% forget the "to 8" part and just go with, "BW said 6 weeks, its been more than 6 weeks!!". second, they said their GOAL is 6-8 weeks. are they going to meet that goal every time? probably not. but it is what they are shooting for. but if/when they dont meet that goal then you'll get all the, "BW lied!!", "BW promiced 6 weeks!!!", "game is dying!!!!!", its an EA plot to steal our money".

I'm not entirely sure on that. Much of the f2p experience revolves around getting people to subscribe. Certainly the cartel market is a strong revenue source, but the subsription revenue is valuable as well. On top of that, the two overlap - many subscribers also purchase items in the cartel market either directly or indirectly (through the gtn). The value of the subscribers is that it is a steady income flow. The cartel market would have more ups and downs (up directly following the release of new items followed by a slacking off period).

I don't think they are as dependent on subscribers as they used to be, but I certainly think they still value subs. And where there's value, there's power.

This is very possible. Additionally, the new Ilum is supposed to be ushered in via a Server Event. If I recall correctly, nobody ever tested the Rakghoul Plague or Cartel Hunt (whatever that thing was called) either. So it's entirely plausible that 1.7 will not go PTS and will instead be launched as a surprise.
