Yes, because your sever and the your level range is indicitive of the entire gaming population.

So far they seem to be moving in the right direction with the frequent patches.

Here's to hoping we have a WoW alternative that isn't dumbed down, spoon-fed, and made for 12 year old ADD Modern Warfare gamers.
Lack of content? Please explain how so.

I dropped quests all the way up to stay even close to level range. I'm 50 now and I see raids to do and heroics for every flashpoint. I see another raid coming out shortly that will be 3 times the size of the current one.

have you finished all this content?

Well, if they're going to charge exactly the same fee as the competition, then they should really offer everything the competition is offering. I would be more sympathetic for Bioware regarding end-game complaints if they were only charging $9.99 a month with the promise to add more features along with an increase in subscription costs once those features were delivered, but that's not the route they went.

From the PvE side:

We only have EV, which is a complete pushover except Hard-Mode/Nightmare SoA. Kraggas (sp?) is also a pushover in hard-mode as well. Moreover, if you full clear EV + Kraggas, your raid will be fully geared (mathematically) in approximately 4 clears. I think BioWare made items drop a little too liberally. I don't advocate an EQ-I style where 72 people vie for 1 item, but if everyone has the items they want... what's the point of subscribing?

From the PvP side:

We have 3 warzones, but effectively, it is 1 because of the lopsided faction distribution. No, it is not BioWare's fault, but BioWare certainly needs to take action to make incentives for players to roll (and stay) Republic side until this imbalance has subsided.

The Good:

1.1 will add 4 more raid bosses and a lvl 50 flashpoint, so that's an impressive start (only 1 month from release, I might add). Lots of bug fixes as well.

Same thing was said about WoW, about Everquest, about DAoC, Asheron's call etc. etc. etc.

Might be by the same people. ;p

This is true enough, but the problem is MOST, not all, of the negative post do NOT offer CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. It is just a bunch of people telling everyone how much they hate the game and they are quitting because it is so horrible.

Painting those posts as offering suggestions to make the game better is a big stretch from 90% of what most of the negative posts on this forum bring to the table.

Most people don't hang out in fleets, it is not wow. People are out playing the game not twiddling their thumbs waiting for queues to pop.
