Faux News does this all the time. They report opinion and spin pieces, as if they're fact. The contents of your thread were your opinions, but your title implies that the game is not just a failure for you, but for all.

On a funny note, you reminded me of a (paraphrased) WIll Ferrell quote:

"With all due respect, you're a complete idiot."

'What? I said, 'with all due respect'"
Fox is the only place I get my news. They lean conservative in their opinion based commentary, yes, but don't report it as fact. Please let's not bring politics/media into this because this will turn into a liberal/conservative argument very quick.

But your examples are pretty hilarious and explain very good, why phasing is more a problem than a solution in an MMO.

Makeb was a bad planet. Brought nothing new to WPvP. Rise of the Coin Cartel™ and 2.0 brought almost nothing new for PvP'ers.

This digital "expansion" was just DLC for me.

Then you should probably be happy that it was also about the same price as a DLC.
Thanks for showing us you listen to our feedback, Bioware!

Suggestion for letting us add certain story characters to our Strongholds.

The option to say "NO" to set quest givers do not exist in this game.

In every Bioware game except this one we have had the option of saying no if we did not like or we disagreed with the quest. When saying no we got something else to do instead or just moved on entirely. This would effect the story in some way shape or form.

If we say no to a quest in SWTOR the cut-scene exits and the quest is still there.

This is biggest Issue with all of the planets in this game. When it comes to questing we should have more options.

I have two 55's and my last one, a Mercenary, hasn't been to Makeb yet lol And honestly don't plan too after someone pointed out I can pick up the GSI quest elsewhere.

Wen't through the, take a step kill 5 mobs, take a step kill 5 mobs, take a step kill 5 mobs, that is Makeb on my Juggernaut and wont do it again. Most of the quests just drag on and on and I don't find them enjoyable at all.

Truth. Opinions are like ***holes, everyone has one, and most of them stink from time to time.

You are comparing a SPG with a MMO. You cannot do that. The programming required for a MMO is considerably more than a SPG because not only do you have to add other facets (raids, dungeons, solo content and PvP) but also have to worry more about bugs (more people = more chances to find/exploit a bug), making more people happy (as you are complaining, showing that you are not happy) and making expansion content.

SPGs you can make, crank out and move on. Some get updates, some get bug fixes, others are as-is and you deal with it. It's an apples and oranges thing. Both are fruit, but that's about all they have in common.

Mmm...

I can hardly consider "Makeb" a failure, after all it was only $9.99!

I truly enjoyed the story, it was at least for me, quite immersive, trying to save the empire from final doom, a planet in the brink of going boom, busting into the hutts business, I frankly felt it was as a good a story as they come.

Challenge was also there, it had tough puzzles to solve especially with the super warbots (will not go into detail to avoid spoiler issues)

For my $10 bucks, I feel I got what I paid for.

Agree. Wholeheartedly.
