You have to admit the your gear is better than me will be gone though, it will come down to skill, also did you know they are having a way of giant battles that apparently will have sieges and many other interesting ideas. It is also free to play and no buy to improve model, people can buy looks and things which dont impact balance of game or affect anything so pay to win isnt part of it. It new and may be the future of MMO if they do it sucessfully.

Pink butterfly combat animations and cute little gnome people just scream PvP, don't they?

I'm not cancelling my sub. I've found no reason to as of yet; I'm still enjoying the game (somewhat) and I haven't even played every class yet.
Murder and mayhem await

It's gone in TOR. I PvP without a single shred of PvP gear, and in basic level 50 gear, and still do quite well.

It only matters if you let it matter in your head...

Yes i will keep my subs up for now.

The reason is not that I think this game is perfect but i see potential and I’m willing to back Bioware to see if they can turn the game into what it should be, not what it is now.

The game is sorely missing cross server matchmaking for PVP and cross server flashpoint maker tool. I’m on a server that is currently going through a downwards spiral of players leaving / rerolling on busier servers and the net effect for me is this has turned into a mostly single player game.

PVP Queues at level 50 take anywhere from 20-60 minutes during prime time and after about 11PM seldom ever pop, so I usually average about 5-6 warzones in a 4-5 hours gaming session which is really sad. On the PVE side it is practically impossible to get a group for any hard mode flashpoint as the people on fleet has gone down from about 120-150 during prime time about 6-8 weeks ago to the 20-35 that we have during prime time now on our server. Almost impossible to find a full group with tank and healer, often the only people that want to do the content are of the incorrect classes to make a full group.

Top this off with all the bugs in the game and there is plenty of frustration to go around.

Now I have been through several MMO releases and i realise that things never get released in a finished state so I’m going to be showing my support for Bioware to see if they can make the big improvements I would like to see in a timely fashion. If I cannot see these updates coming by the time 1.3 patch notes are out then I will re-evaluate the situation. Until then, I’m happy to continue playing

Unless they do something DRAMATIC fast this will be my last month. My guildmates gave me money to keep me playing because they want people to play with them but really, unless 1.2 comes out next week and it's AMAZING I'm canceled.

People are PAYING me to play the game because the PVP is so bad. Thats pretty freaking sad.
Wow, reading some of these posts, it's amazing we can actually function as a society at all...

I'm absolutely NOT surprised this is coming from you. So, what's so bad about the PvP? PvPers who PvP just to PvP is dying breed... Oh well...

Yes I'm going to keep my sub because at the moment all I'm doing is re-rolling new alts. I currently have 3 in the works. However, I do agree PVP is boring beyond anything I've done in an MMO before, and my mains can contend to that.

I will keep my sub going in order to help my friend out.

He moved to a new server and started his own guild. I don't think it will become a raiding guild since most people that joined are low level and just like that he helps out a lot with planet heroics. Also he will run guild mates through a FP real quick.

In two months if his guild doesn't work out I'll stop playing. Already feel like stopping but I gave him my word.

Seems like a double standard to me.

I log in for about 30 seconds before im bored now, I have a 30 something Jk and lvl 10-25ish of everything else and I cant stick with one character. I like the game but it just got tedious for me... i really wanted to stick with this game but im bored. Dunno why i thought this would be different, havent stuck with a MMO since the 5 years of UO. Not hating the game, just frustrated that i cant stick with one game anymore.
