That's great but I doubt anyone cares what forum scientists think when deciding whether to stay active, or subbed or not.

You're the one pretending it's doing great - where's YOUR HARD evidence? Oh, that's right...nobody here could actually produce that could they...so asking for it is just silly.

YES!!! Does that come with a soapbox or do I need to purchase that separately?

For what is worth, this was said by Dulfy on Reddit...

(...) SWTOR did had a post launch E3 spotlight back in June 2012 but the game is getting old and player base is steadily declining. The audience is just not there anymore.
Take it for what you will. From experience, that's my general impression as well.

To be fair, I was about to call you out until I saw you are on POT5. There are already numerous threads debating why, but if you are on POT5 it very well may look like the game is dying. If you are one like Harbinger, you might think "What the *(#&%^$, the game is not dying!".

Helps to keep perspective in mind in these debates.

As to the Dulfy comment, I would take that with a big grain of salt. Her guild shattered with her at the center of the storm leading to her changing servers. I would be feeling negative on the game after that as well.

Sure some people make **** up and post like drama queens. Overall game stats may or may not matter much to an individual.

They made $139 million last year. I doubt they're "struggeling".

How many mistakes are you allowed in your profession that you think creating public memos is so freaking difficult? Do you work for the IRS? NSA? Geezus man...it's not like anyone forced Eric to take the job he has...he's great at what he does. I hope to god his stress level is far lower than yours appears to be.
I work for a 40 billion dollar a year multinational, where one wrong word dead ends you into a dark corner of the corporation with little chance for redemption, let alone promotion.

Stress isn't some minor thing. Even a little stress can result in bad health consequences. And stress is cumulative. Three small stressors are worse than one big one.

Here's a good read from the Mayo clinic. A quick Google search will show you just how bad stress can be...
