Who Swtor was made for.

Nature of the consumer satisfaction beast I guess.

When you go to a football game, do the guys selling food make more money selling to the people in the stands? or the guys takin a wiz in the bathroom?

I heard that this game at 50 sucks because raiding is to easy. well tell that to the majority who still can't raid becuase of time constraints but really want to for the great gear, and you have your answer.

I might sing a different toon when I do get there, but I like the journey more then the ending so to each his own.

I'm comforted to know that BW knows its audience, and it seems will be catering to casual players.

It'll be interesting to see if the words, however, are put into practice.

quit trying to pick a fight. hes said nothing unreasonable in fact it sounds like he understands his situation more than most hardcore raiders that come here and complain that there is nothing to do.

OP is a little misguided. If a game loses the hardcore players they lose more than just subscriptions. Hardcore players not playing leads to all kinds of negative press,,,from reviews, blogs, and videos. This impacts many more people because people wont decide to play the game in the first place.

Just wanted to point out that I'm laughing at this.

"We went with a blockbuster budget, so therefore the industry standard is a blockbuster budget."

It's almost as amusing as the guy who said companions are now a "must have" feature for any MMO, because that's clearly a lesson BWA took to heart.

Also, it's obvious this needs to be linked again.

The game was made for KOTOR diehards and MMO noobs. Scratch that; the game was made for MMO noobs.

I wouldn't say I'm a "hardcore" gamer, but I'm not a casual one either. Believe me, I play a lot. I don't have multiple level 50's yet, but in a couple weeks I will. So far, I have yet to come even close to getting through this whole game. I'm not even doing sith stuff - I'm just focusing on republic. I will have all 8 republic classes when I get done with my first account. I'll spend months (maybe years?) just making sure I know every class perfectly. I'll refine my build, get every one completely outfitted, etc. Then I'll worry about doing every single thing in the game. Maybe even do all the sith classes at that point on another account. For me, this game is amazing. The stories are fun, the combat is fast and precise, etc. And most importantly to me - I have tons of abilities. On my sentinel, I have the two bars on the bottom of the screen completely filled with combat abilities, most of the left bar is filled with combat abilities, and the right bar is all buffs and travel and etc. No, this game is not as big as say swg was. SWG had tons of content through space, collections, badges, etc. I see that coming to this game with time though. Customization is getting a huge boost with update 1.2, as are crafters. With time I see more open world pvp, more wz's, more flashpoints, more operations, more guild features, more space (possibly non-rail), more story, more everything. The #1 thing I'm excited about is the fact that, while bioware may still suck a little bit at tending to the mmo gamers (more frequent updates with small bug fixes plz), they are focusing on making small tweaks to balance classes and not huge class overhauls. That's one thing that I like, because it means that at least part of their focus is hitting the right spot. In time I think this game will have more - and better - content than almost anything else.

Lol stop calling yourself "hardcore". There is nothing hardcore about sitting in front of a computer playing a game for hours on end. If anything it would make you softcore.

What? Have you even looked at the patch notes you claim are so awesome?

That is so true
