I am always amazed when people make, "I quit threads", then spend the next 8 hours posting in on the forums. seriously, get over it and move on if you don't like the game. go log into wow and troll their forums since that is the game you plan to play.
can't wait for this game to come out!

EA? @$*& EA. I started to have doubts about this game with the CE store. I knew eventually where this was going and I believe this was their intent from day 1.

In other games the really cool looking gear/mounts are not ONLY cartel market. You look forward to raiding to get an awesome looking weapon/mount etc.

In this game? They purposely design raid/pvp content to look like @%@% all to make a bigger profit.

All this game company has shown me is that they are interested in

a) keeping subs they have at the expense of balance
b) are not interested in anything past a profit margin, and really have no desire to ever make it better. They simply will fleece a new group of people, by getting them hooked with a decent single player game 1-50
c) will lie or act as if they don't know what you are talking about, when you bring up bugs. For this to be true not one person on the design team must play the game. The only reason I can imagine they do this, is that they invest a very small amount of money in pve/pvp design, coding, and a very large amount in figuring out how they can make more money and what they can get away with on the cartel market next

So I can play this game in pve, to get crappy looking gear, nothing cool or unique, or I can pvp in a game with one guy running the show, who seems oblivious to bugs/problems or balance, and whose decisions seem to be run by a profit line.

I wanted this game to kill WoW. Not because it was a bad game, but because I wanted Bioware (whom I was a big fan of) to be revolutionary in the genre (like Ultima Online was to me). Instead I got a broken engine WoW 2.0, with no QOL additions, with no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow to make me WANT to pve or pvp, that is making all the mistakes WoW did and one upping them. A game where hardcore play was not rewarded and no one cares about it, and a game where casual play is broken or simply not fun (for when I want to play with RL friends).

If I didn't care about this game, and I didn't want it to succeed? I would have done the same thing I did with my Everquest CD. Made it a frisbee after 30 minutes of playing it. SWG I gave a much larger time investment (only because it was Star Wars).

Anyways, whatever. These people can't argue my points, so they insult me instead. Could care less about them lol. I am not looking for RL friends on a MMO.
Amen brother, they won't argue your points because deep down they know they are true. They just ignorantly see you as the "evil troll trying to bring down their precious game"

You can't argue with a voice of reason, you can only belittle it in a lame attempt to gain superiority. Unfortunately these anonymous forum dwellers don't seem to understand the real world doesn't work like that.

The ONLY reason I've given this game another chance is because I'm a massive fan of Star Wars. Since I've been back I've spent £200 on Cartel Coins, because I had hope for 2.0 and was actually enjoying playing again. I had a blast PvP'ing 10-49, levelling a bunch of characters during the double XP weekends and had greats hopes for Bolster in 2.0. I would even have been willing to spend much more if they were deserving of it. But the fact is, I don't think I've ever seen such an undeserving game company in my entire life. The way Bioware/EA have treated their customers is rotten to the core.

Anyway, whatever indeed. Time to let the blind leading the blind mouth breathers continue to try and convince themselves "everything is going to be all right if I just put down anyone who disagrees with me!" - over to you, trolls.

I actually agree with a lot of the OPs post, one ting that really stuck out to me that I've hated ever since they introduced it was having to Augment every single piece of damn gear. I remember when the game came out I was so happy I could just throw an item on and be done with it after having played WoW since release and always having to enchant/gem/reforge ****, it was a nice change that was all too soon shattered.

Walked in expecting a troll thread, got a fairly good read, that hit most of the issues I've been having right on the head. It's kinda sad, really. I'm enjoying every class I play, as they changed most of what was frustrating me. But the problem is, I don't enjoy actually playing the game. As a PvPer, I don't really care too much about the 55 FPs, OPs, and Makeb. To me, it's just not something I was really into, especially as I've skipped nearly every planet story since the starter one. My fun is found in the WZs. I even downloaded the PTS, just so I could test the WZs at 55. And what did we find? A complete mess, which was brought up many, many times on the PTS forums, yet somehow, ended up a mess when 2.0 went live.

So what does BW do? "Fix" it, like they were supposed to. But that fix fails. So they "fix" it again. Which fails. And that's just the problems with Bolster. That's not even taking into account just how awkward the actual matches are right now. You either get burst down in a few seconds, or you bring healers, who keep the entire WZ alive to the point of ridiculousness. And no, "Burst down the healer, baddie!" doesn't work. Not when the enemy team has two or more healers, who run away as they lose HP, and get topped off by the other healer. The OP made the comparison to WoW, and I have to sadly agree. We've basically turned the healers here into WoW type healers, but we don't have anywhere near the control here, that WoW allows, especially with the ability to guard a healer.

And then there's the actual rewards for PvP itself. The Conqueror gear has less stats on it than the level 53 gear you get for Basic comms. The only thing it has extra is Expertise. Which means, if you DO decide to PvE with your conqueror gear on, you're less geared than a 53 player. Bra-freaking-vo. Considering the massive grind to obtain said gear? To be less useful than gear you can obtain in a day? But, if that's not a kick in the nuts enough, let's look at the highest PvE gear. It doesn't even compare to Partisan. Blows it away completely, even in a WZ. How does that even make sense? Top PvP gear is worse than the first tier PvE gear, for PvE, but the top PvE gear blows away the first tier of PvP gear, IN PVP. And yet, when people try to bring this major point up, the overwhelming response is "You should be happy! Lolster has made PvP more about skill!" Which would be okay, if that were true, AND if this were a different type of game.

But last I checked, this was an MMORPG. The whole POINT of leveling your character is to become as powerful as possible, and when you hit cap, is to become even MORE powerful, by obtaining the best gear possible. You take that out of a section of the game, and what's the purpose? Sure, I get gear. Yay. It's nowhere near the kind of look I want for my character, so it's not even worth the cosmetic effect. And in the end, I'll still go into a WZ, and get my arse handed to me by premades who stack the odds, unless I counter with my own premade, and then we'll just lololol around the WZ, while our respective PuGs lose our matches for us.
Stealth? It's nice, I guess. But so is flinging people off bridges.

I /sign everything he said. Pretty stupid how bad this game has gotten. The developers have got no clue where they're going with this game. He should have bolded the entire section about 'useless stat changes'.
DEFENSE | CAMOUFLAGE | EAGLEYE | SENSATIONAL | MAGESTICAL | SHOWOFF
This game is simply no longer any fun to pvp in.
