Alright, if I give them 12 months to get everything situated do you think they'll wait 12 months before charging me?

It's funny that mythic has coined themselves a new term, instead of epic fail. It's mythic fail now.

You are correct sir - no point in being irritated, just move along, nothing to see here.

But spending $150 on a CE just makes me feel like I filled my gas tank only to cancel my trip, as many I presume, so let some of us "blow our loads" as we let our subs time out.

/my 2 cents.

You do realize, one part of in house testing is pentesting (aka white hat "hackers" as you put it) and the majority of them get paid standard programmer wages. Problem comes with the profit margins. Alot of vulnerabilities stim from most of the game functions being client side with no server side checks (this is done to keep bandwidth overhead low). In order to fix this issue it would require additional overhead, this is something EA wants to avoid. As with most EA products their goal is vary high short term gains they could careless about long term success.

Agreed a real cash and dash. The four people online to form a guild concept did not help much either. The guilds that were premade before the game release basically dictate the game play of the other gamers. The comment below.

If you have some swamp land in Texas you want to sell...pffft average programmer salary...bandwith...meh...

No, I've played most MMOs at launch since UO and I've never come across an instance of a MMO with over 1,000,000 subscribers AND servers so dead that you can't play group content and develop a community.

Give Bioware Time is the thread title.

They have had plenty of time, no game in history has had the resources and time to make a PC game. They have also lied to there customers on a number of things, with MMORPG games the critical things need to right in the early months of release, this has not happened with this game.

The game has been released 5- 6 months and it still feels like its in beta at times.

Ive been a player since early beta but im considering not subbing when my subs runs out in around 35 days for a number of reasons which have been listed many times on these forums.

Love the game, hate the broken promises along with missing features of a MMORPG, combined with bad performance with dire CS. Also the amount of patches released that actually break other parts of the game is getting a joke now, i come to accept it now with maintenance 2 times of week instead of 1?

There are many many more things i could list, Ilum?

A laughable argument. More appropriate would be: "I have ordered a pizza were a few pieces of ham were not well done."
