Fair enough.. and I applaud you for admitting this.

Thing is though... you must handle the baggage (in terms of forum replies) that the attention flag garners for you.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

Exactly, I wanted people to read, if I put "Why I dont like the new expansion" I doubt I would get as many views or comments

That is all the title was for. Sorry if people took it the wrong way.

Attention Magnet? AW, you mean.

I am easy to please then. Because for MMO's, I thought that Makeb's story was pretty decent.

I imagine they know their base very well. But it is a complex base demographic.

True.. lots of Bioware fans attracted to MMOs for the first time because it is a Bioware MMO. But.. at the same time... it's an MMO... and that brings a large MMO fan base as well. And then... there is the very large tappable market of SW fans. Peronally.. I think over time... each will continue to be a notable segment in their player base...even though their wants and tastes can be quite different. AND they must find a way to please most of the people most of the time. And the people need to meet them part way in that endeavor IMO.

Why make a thread if you don't want people to read and comment? So yeah, I have got people attention so I have succeeded

This is honest to goodness not meant as a flame, but a sincere question: is this your first MMO?

Because there is lower tolerance in the forum these days for binary polarizing topics (negative OR positive). Even the critics of the game see them as provocative and take swings at them.

But hey... this one started out with a bullseye on it.. but has been allowed to generate somewhat productive discussion IMO.. and you have helped that by being candid on your method.

Hehe.. in the larger scheme of things.. you called the Hutt Cartell a failure... so now you probably have a very large Hutt Bounty on the heads of all your characters in game.

I've run through Makeb a couple of times now (once Empire and once Republic) and will be starting on my third of seven alts soon. Not bored yet but I definitely was hoping for more there.

Having said that, I am really enjoying the Seeker/Macro binocular mission chains. More so than Makeb actually. Not sure if I'll have the same level of enjoyment the 7th time through but can't really fault Bioware for that.

I do hope that they will revisit the decision of merging the class stories into a single story though.

Yeeeeeah, let's not remind Bioware of their "fans". These are the same guys who trashed the ME3 Ending simply because there was no ending where Shep rides off into the sunset banging a blue chick and reappearing in ME4.

Remember, Bioware responded to them by creating the Refusal Ending and, while IMO it is the GREATEST BURN IN THE HISTORY OF BURNS, we really don't want to push them there again. Bioware has made it clear. You can like their game or you can not play it. Tell them what to do like you own them, it will bite you where the Force split you.
