Please don't do this to use.

Being able to use planets where suicidal mobs just ignores us so we can have fun RPing our own stories is really important. Don't ruin that amazing freedom for us RPers by implementing this without a toggle, I beg you.

I unsubscribed when they announced the fact that they are recycling old Ops instead of releasing new ones, but I'll add my support here that level sync being mandatory is a terrible idea.
Unsubscribed due to no new Operations.
I am happy that there will be a renewed focus on story, I love story, its why I picked this MMO. But I picked an MMO, not an episodic single player RPG that I have to pay a subscription to receive the episodes.

Second, that some of you keep saying "You're just pissed about losing roflstomp" just demonstrates that you have not, in fact, actually bothered to take a moment and understand the statements of those who are opposed to this. Look more carefully -- note how many of the concerns are based not on "I won't be able to roflstomp", but rather on "now I'll have to take the time to roflstomp, because the mobs in those areas will actually agro now".

Somehow, people who are really really in favor of this, or just looking for the latest excuse to insult and belittle their fellow players, seem to keep mistaking "I'd prefer to not have to slog" for "I hate any form of challenge".
This is worth quoting. Spot-on.

I have never threatened to unsub, no matter what happened, but this new direction they are taking is something which turns me off. Unfortunately I just bought a 90 days gametime card from this Amazon bundle and I still had a fresh gametime card left, so I have still 150 days sub left. But for the first time since this game started, I feel like I am finally able to let it go. Because of forced level sync. It's as good as a reason as any other. Maybe KotFE will blow my mind though, who knows. All I am saying is that as of right now, I regret having spent 40 EUR on this Amazon bundle. Could have bought 4 Long Island Ice Teas with that moolah. And I've never before regret spending money on this game.

4.0 is catered for new players/subs. Will this work out? I highly doubt it. The Swtor veterans are the ones who have pumped the most sub money into this game. I don't understand why BW wants to completely change their target group. It's risky at best.
Bioware offers a friend referal system which gives referred players a couple of goodies (incl. 7 free days of sub and a neat free 10 x inventory slot for every character) and referring players some little shinies and cartel coins.
I would be happy if you choose my referral link to grab your free goodies.

Again not even a hot topic, or close to a hot topic on the forums. Big issues you hear about in general chat in game constantly. Nothing, in general chat.

I don't claim any numbers but given the history of big issues in the past, this doesn't even come close to comparison in uproar about it.

And not one of those claiming they have canceled or will cancel, willing to screen shot an image of their up to date account showing canceled, more than likely because none of them have or will cancel. They'll all be here posting the next complaint thread fake hot topic.


This outrages you so much, you still have your referral signature up and nothing about this topic.
Friend reference, you get 7 daysof free subscription,
free character transfer, and items mailed to all your characters.

I still don't quite understand what the fuss is about. Personally, when I go back to planents, I dislike one shotting and facerolling through everything. Its not fun whatsoever.

Also, the "OWPVP won't work now" is kind of absurd because you can still gank people; you can still have pvp wars. It just won't be the roflstomp people seem to enjoy so much, which I personally think is a good thing.
What do you mean they shot a torpedo into the core?!?

That's why it should be optional, so that as many people as possible get as much of what they want as possible out of the game.

give it time. a lot of times, general can be behind the times.

that said... I haven't unsubbed exactly. seeing as I buy time in chunks rather then having recurring subscription, so there's nothing for me to unsub from.

mainly I'm just biding my time, until expac is out at which point after playing through on a free 60 and seeing if its better then I'm expecting.. or worse - I will decide whether I'll be buying another chunk of time.

Yeah, I can see your point.

Thank you for posting this thread in the off-topic forum where it belongs. I'm sorry you've gotten so used to facerolling content that you're afraid you'll have to try. I hope you find imbalance in another game so you can sate your desire for laziness.

I wish you the best... for finding a game where you can be the worst.
