Thats why they make stuff like the Quarter Pounder, Mcnuggets and McRibs.
Actually, your analogy would only be accurate if someone went into McDonalds today and looked at the entire menu that is there and said "These are all boring! You should have made something new in this timeframe to keep us happy until the McRib comes back!"

And my reply to that customer would be about the same as it was here.

But don't you think that McDonalds might want to figure out what else they could have to keep that customer, not bored? You think McDonalds wants that guy to take a breather and eat something elsewhere?

You assume the person running the register at McDs cares.
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Oh, I am sure they don't. I'm sure they have the mentality of people here. That's what I am getting at. The business cares whether the peons do or not.

Actually the business will treat you the same as the person at the register, they'll just do it more politely, most of the time.

more like this:

server: "Well have you tried our nuggets"
customer "yes, bored"

server: "quarter pounder?
customer "yes, bored"

server: "Cheeseburger, mc.chicken, salads, wraps"
customer "yes, yes, yes, yes...all bored"

server. "tried eating your shoe?"
customer "yes"

server "well then I guess I can't help you"
customer "slams down tray screaming and yelling...and waddles out in a huff"

That probably is more accurate.

Contrary to popular belief, businesses (especially larger chains and such) don't bend over backwards to cater to every single customers whims and fancies.

McDonalds isn't going to create a completely new type of dish to satiate this one bored customer.

At least at McDonalds, when you say the server went down, its a lot more fun and inappropriate than it is here.

Have you leveled up every kind of class? I'm finding an incredible amount of fun doing this right now and I'm finding the level up worlds to be packed with people. People who are enjoying the game in ways I forgot about with my stale 55's in 180 gear.

A week ago I was doing the brutilizer grind on my 55's and sitting around fleet doing nothing. Every time I can break away from FLEET I realize how much there is to this game and how I wouldn't miss Pub/Imp HQ if it were blown to bits in some future expansion giving people instead more specialized channels to communicate with while being anywhere in the game. Yes I'm aware of the ability to create channels but if there were a couple more defined channels like Operations or GSF and every planet had PVP/PVE terminals then we would get a change of scenery every once in awhile.
