Frankly I think forums topics ending with question marks are the death of the forums but no one listens to me.

At least someone understands. I have been a long term player and a continuous sub and am quite heavily invested in the game. I love the game and enjoy the story but to me (and I know this isn't the case to the majority) it is just a nice thing on the side with raids and warzones being the main course.

The last time we got a new warzone is over a year ago and the last time we got a new warzone game mode (Ancient Hypergates) was at the end of 2012 I think? Yeah we got arenas towards the end of 2013 but I can't say I really care for them since none of the map really introduce unique mechanics from the others.

I don't want them to stop all work on the story and only focus on raids but I don't think a raid tier every 8 months or so with NiM a few months later and one new Warzone a year (even if it's the same game mode) is much to ask for.
It sounds like they might be merging factions which might help queues a bit but they really should work on a real cross server system or merge servers.

pvprs: "*** no confirmed warzones grrrrrr raaaaaaage"

damned if they do, damned if they dont.

Just a fyi, its not all about the raids/endgame for everyone. But god forbid they ever work on something that doesnt cater strictly to player #45454578433 wants.

Here's a theory. Ziost is sort of an episodic story line similar to what it seems they're going to do with each class now. What if Mono is a glimpse of what's to come. Fewer 5 boss raids, but an instance boss at the end of each of the new chapters. If they did it right I could see it being kind of cool.

I am pretty bummed the xpac is not Gus Tuno centered. I mean seriously....he's Gus Tuno...a mastermind. He heals you with Jedi Power......

Shame on you Bioware....

Filth. Everyone knows that M1-4X is the star of the game.

That he's not front and centre in the marketing materials and announcements is deplorable.

As someone who primary raids (also ranked PvP) I find it funny when people ask for NiM ToS and RaV. I'm just here imagining how many would actually clear the first boss let alone the instance.

If Death of Endgame includes death to Raids/Ops with random players and fixation on virtual gear treadmill then good riddance.

I would rather spend my time on story content, solo flashpoints with GSI droid/companions, more phased content that would included phased daily quests that are part of weeklies and things that I can enjoy on my own time and on a ground of my choosing without other people getting in my way.

I prefer personalize progression that is sometimes horizontal, sometimes it includes gear upgrades, sometimes not, but as long as it is fun and not fixated on sitting around waiting for Ops/raid/fp groups to form to grind for more virtual gear.

Some would argue that wasting your finite time and life on virtual gear grind is just as important as story & solo amusement stuff, but I think it's just pathetic.

Instead of Ops/Raids/group queues for virtual gear grind why don't we have more fun PvE queues where players can group up and Defend the Fort from NPC enemies like that Rebel Base on Hoth in Empire Strikes Back. That way players are put in a situation where they can enjoy being in the company of others instead of rolling against each other or camping clicky nodes.

as a side note I really really really wish that some developer could finally come up with something other than instanced raiding and pvp for "endgame".
