Unsubscriber's Thread: Tell us a few things

Been here a week after game went live. In that time I've accomplished a lot. Have 3 level 50's, all completed geared up. Have all crafting professions to 400 and I have everything I need or want. I've done all of this solo.

I'm still subbed to this game but will leave soon as Defiance comes out. I'm also waiting on Elder Scrolls. Reason for leaving is I'm extremely frustrated at BioWare for their lack of fixing many of the things in the game. And now that the cartel market is out, they seem to have all their priorities only on the market and nothing else in way of fixing bugs.

I love the entire Starwars thing as I used to play SWG pre-nge and I thought this game would be as much fun as that one was although 2 different type games.

Funny thing is my son told me this game would not be as good and he was right. He also added this is a WoW clone and again he was right. He foresaw this before I did. I do like many things in the game but Bioware and their staff is not one. I am terribly disappointed in their lack of knowledge as to what it takes to make a good game.

The cartel market will add to the quickness of this games demise.

Are you actually reading this EAware? I have read most of the reasons why people unsub. They are all valid. I am toying with the idea of unsubbing myself. I love Star Wars, but what you have here is a travesty. I was so excited for this game. My wife (who hates video games by the way) actually lets me get away with the amount of game time I play because she knows my passion for Star Wars. But you are sucking the life out of my passion. Glitchy game, no new class content, and the cash hole that is the Cartel Market. The people who have unsubbed have given you valid reasons for their unsubbing, yet you do nothing to fix the problems. Just keep shoving more and more into the stupid Cartel Market. And this new Pay for Rep b***s*** you have now has almost got me ready to unsub. Fix it, or you won't even be making any money off the CM and you will have to shut the game down. Actually, do that. Let another company who would actually care about subscribed players take over and really show you how to make a game.

I actually want to list my reasons for quitting, i copied it from a previous post but oh well:

- Generic class / ability / combat-system
- Forced weapon and lightsaber use depending on class
- No re-customization of character
- Armor / Outfit design and art + no Armor / Outfit dye (weapon / vehicle / spacecraft dye?)
- Static encounters, static planets, static dialog- no real choices
- No Chat-Bubbles and other useful RP-tools like a bio-tab, sitting in chairs etc
- Shoe-Horned-Linear-Choked-Claustrophobic overall game-design and game-mechanics
- Fantasy-inspired visuals of force powers
- Terrible implementation of F2P and the Cartel Shop
- TERRIBLE Space-Game
- Terrible Crafting-Game
- Terrible Itemization and Tiers
- Lack of horizontal game-play, progression / commendation-gain
- Expertise stat in PvP
- No open world-PvP
- No sandbox elements
- Lack of Star Wars and lack of Wars in Star Wars and lack of Star in Star Wars


TLR. The game feels like a movie rather than the virtual stars wars world i was hoping for.

the latest CM Vendor rep was my last straw..

The game is now focused around the market for BW/EA and not content.

i remember another lie from BW ..........and i quote* being a subscriber is a all you can eat buffet*

rightttttttttttttt

The Cartel Market Rep grind is an affront to all subscribers. Eric Musco telling us that we can get them in game via the GTN or save our stipend for the packs is not acceptable since it would anyone doing so literally years to do so. This plus realizing the fact that there has not been a single addition or even a bug fix to the achievable in-game Armor and Crafting Armor sets shows me that EA/BioWare no longer care about subscribers. They only care about the morons who keep buying gamble boxes. Well, good luck keeping your game going with that alone.

I'm done. Bye.

This is surprising. Given some of the recent names in this thread, EAware should really take note.

What are your top 5 reasons why you left the game? Why do you stick around?
Quite doable...

N°1 : Lost all faith after months expecting at least some improvements, instead, it's getting worse with what we know from the 2.0 patch.
N°2 : Endgame is made for 8-man groups repeating the same thing week after week and nothing else.
N°3 : Lack of direction, like if the manager didn't know how to manage an MMORPG and took ideas left and right with no tracking. See crafting, for example (1.0 -> 1.2 -> 2.0).
N°4 : Lack of key MMO features, including real crafting, world economy, persistent world...
N°5 : Lack of guild features.

Overall, there seems to have been a huge work on story content (although I just came across some inconsistency leveling my Sage on Voss), moderate work on art design (copy/paste from the Jedi Academy to Voss, and many, many others...) and very little on actual game mechanics (from crafting/economy to classes design, crossing Valor/Social, overabundance of class instances and actual world "life" ).

I just un-subbed today so:

1. Finished class stories( minus chapter 3 smuggler) , Ops and WZ... Doing daily's bores me... daily's + rep grinding bores me ^2.
2. Game bugs/performance continued play erosion. Character responsiveness ( abilities misfiring) and lag spikes the most prominent.
3. CM. I have been gauging how far you take the CM experiment. This last patch crossed the line for me... specially the part about "thanking customers".

Best of luck
