Bioware, or any other developer for that matter, has had MORE THAN ENOUGH opportunity to learn from the mistakes of major MMOs like WoW, EQ, EQ2, CoH, and even its predecessor SWG, and any number of other MMOS.

This argument totally falls apart in the face of recently released MMOs like Rift, Tera and others that did in fact take to heart the mistakes made by their peers.

Sorry, but I'm not buying this for 1 millisecond.

It's also bunk because a good portion of the team are MMO veterans.

No, most of us see positives in the future that you guys choose to ignore. Come 1.3, people will be able to transfer to a more populated server and find groups with more ease due to the group finding tool. Additions like this tend to spike sub #s, not decrease them. But, you guys keep on drinking that hatorade. I'm still wondering why half of you are still here to begin with.

Oh that isnt the problem at all, i can wait for bioware to fix and do their game, but i will not continue to pay monthly to an entertainement service if im not having fun, anymore, i will not continue subscribing in hopes that the game will improve, hell when it does, i can come back meanwhile il find something diferent to entertain me while they are at it.
Its simple as that.

And by MMO vet he means Jeff Hickman and whoever didn't get fired from Mythic.

If you don't know who that is, please see Warhammer: Online.

The fact that they are still not implemented 4 days shy of the six month mark is inexcusable.

It looks like a much, much smaller majority is happy. Reality... it's a heluva drug.
You are my new favorite poster, just saying.

If i build roads for a living and someone hires me to build a bridge and i say that i can do the job, they arent going to give me extra tme because Im new to building bridges and i need some time to learn how. I should have learned how to build a bridge or hired help that new how.

Unfortunately after an MMO has a "Crash and Burn" period within the first 3 months- the numbers never really come back. Ask AoC. Also your post lost most of it's validity when you mentioned drinking hatorade.
