There are proper channels for making suggestions to the game, GENERAL DISCUSSION is the worst possible place to get that. He is trolling and wants attention, nothing more.
I put my suggestions in the best possible place to get attention: the comments section of the unsubscribe dialog.

Sadly I forgot to unsub before they charged me for 3 months, so I'm paying for this single-player game until april

It's funny, but I understand where the OP is coming from and I haven't even reached End game yet or finished my BH class story. I sit down at the PC to play and its tough to log in sometimes because I felt like i have done all this before. Don't get me wrong, I love the story telling aspect with the voice overs instead of reading everything, that makes it much better but all of the quests feel familiar. I am not going anywhere right now as this is still the best MMO on the market right now and it IS Star Wars, but no matter how you look at it, I think we have all become accustomed to the standard MMO fair, Go kill this, bring back this, rinse and repeat. There is nothing in the questing or Flashpoints that isn't already in every other MMO released. I think it may just be MMO burnout, not just a particular IP burnout.

Let's hope things look brighter for the future.

I don't mind the crafting style of SWTOR, but it definitely needs some improvements.

One, I'd like to know somehow that when I RE something that I have a chance to get the next level of recipe. IE. if I am going for an orange, but the orange recipe for this item doesn't exist, why should I spend hours RE'ing purples? Or do I have a chance to add an augmentation slot? If so, now I have to RE a bunch more purples to have a chance to get a new orange, which only has a chance at augmentation? (or if augments aren't possible on orange gear, switch the example out with Blue/Purple) They could really clean this up to make it easier to understand.

Two, certain crafting skills are somewhat useless since you can get most of the mods/gear through commendations or somewhere else much easier.
Let the shoosting begin!

Agree with everything said, Op, save the part where you wrongly said "good pvp." Not by a long shot. By far, the worst pvp I've encountered since my first mmo in 1999. This isn't to say the style or fights are bad. It's more a matter of fights being few and far between and zero world pvp whatsoever. Honestly, I had more world encounters with other players in any random hour in Rift (the game I left) than I've had the entire time since I started playing SWTOR in early access. No joke. I wish it were one, though.

This game is pretty messed up. I'm trying to stay patient and give them time to make it shine, but as the days go by and multiple patches occur in order to fix a game more broken than it already had been - it's getting harder to believe. I'll give them a little more time, as the game is young...but I can only tolerate so much. If I weren't playing with friends and an awesome guild, I would probably be gone already.

Pre 50, it's a pretty good game, even without the world pvp I require to truly be happy. I had nothing bad to say for a very long time. Enough is enough, though. Fix the game I pay to play. I don't want to leave it. But, I will. That isn't a threat. It's more of a sad admission.


I'm begging you, I really don't want to play GW2. It looks like an absolute turd. But, I will go where the pvp is.

Yeah. WoW launched with about 30 instances or so. There are...17 flashpoints? And the ones in WoW were way longer, too. Good luck finishing BRD in one night. WoW had a lot more quests and leveling content, including multiple paths, so you could level on a different character and go through zones you didn't the first time. The raid content is about the same between the two...10 broken, buggy bosses each.

Seriously. It's your own fault for rushing to level 50.
Nope, it's BioWare's fault for making a game that consists only of leveling content, without much replay value since 80% of the content is the same from 1-50. Only the class quests are different. You'd think in 2012 a major game company would understand that what makes people keep paying a subscription to play an MMO is the endgame content, so they'd spend some of that $200 million giving people LOTS of stuff to do at level cap. But they didn't. And replaying the leveling content again is not "endgame content." That's what you do when you beat a single-player game. Play through it again once, and then shelve it and move on to something else.

Quote:
Give it time.
Nope. That's not how the provider/subscriber model works. This is not a charity where I gift $15 a month to poor, beleaguered Electronic Arts. To help 'em out. 'Cause I'm so nice. This is where I unsubscribe because there's nothing worth paying $15/month for after I've "experienced the story."

Quote:
Content will come. Bioware wont TRY to add more content. They WILL add more content.
And I'll check back in in 6-10 months and see if they have, and if it's anything worth paying for. Assuming it hasn't gone F2P by then.

Your understanding about investment and return is limited.

What we see here is the standard for MMORPGs. You are describing first person shooters, or MMOs such as Call of Duty. This is a long term social game that develops over the course of 7 to 10 years. It is actually in great shape for such a new release.
but, and this is a HUGE but, I have a blast with my friends when i order pizza and beer on hockey night! I however am not having fun with myself or anyone in this game as it stands.

I don't get this at all. I had to drop tons of quests on the way up due to the amount of content.

With one character i'm playing through all the normal quests on planets, Another i'm running more flashpoints and doing almost no side missions. On a 3rd i'm running the story plus heroics.

All 3 of these characters are having a vastly different playthough. Not sure how people are playing all the content on one play through without most of it being grey.

MMo burnout.
Not game specific .
This applies to anyone who says this game is boring after 1 month of playing it.
I am 100% sure you haven't even played 50% of the content this game has and yet say it is boring.
If questing is boring then that is an mmo burnout problem since this game probably has the best leveling experience in any mmo.

Oh please, after the 1-10 area you were doing the same content on every character, of least i was. Every quest is click accept i couldn't even choose different option during the quest, SWTOR i can.
