Was it this?

I feel, for the "addicted to shiny pixel stuff delivered to my character via gambling box dropped from the sky"-crowd
this game is quite popular. But I feel for the folks that started playing for the heavily advertised fourth pillar "story"
the game lost its luster quite some time ago....
The game probably had a shift in target demographic somewhere along its timeline.

I remember when you could go to the store to buy cartel coins and subscription cards for this game. Now you can't. I even asked the guy at Gamestop he said they don't even carry a hard copy of this game anymore. >.>

SWTOR unfortunately will not get better than this. It will never get a sudden rush of players. Limited investments will be focused on activities where ROI is highest mainly CM. This explains the things like Strongholds, guild capital ships etc.. where they can make more money compared to new Fp, Ops or Storyline. Sure, they will add those too, but in a very slow pace. My view is the user base we have currently will decline slowly (compared to other MMOs) and probably will last couple more years unless EA decides to pull the plug on behalf of another MMO

Why would they carry hard copies of a game you can download for free?

Well, when you launch with a retail price, sub fee, cash shop, and you make Mt. Everest jealous with the amount of buggy and broken crap you have is it any wonder?
