Yes. He's a clever manipulator, this OP is.

Seriously though, for someone who throws around the tin foil term so much, you sure are *********** crazy.

I'm sure most of their team is working on expansion content for later this year, which unfortunately means very few updates in the near future.

They defiantly need to communicate with us a LOT more however.
The Podcasts are great, but I'd like to hear them at least every other week, not every other month.

No worries, it is GW2 beta weekend again. With any luck all the Bioware staff will try it to see how an engine should work and get some tips for PVP. Their beta > SWTOR 6 months after launch.

They answer questions every week and you can't expect them to elaborate why they fire people, that would be bad practice. Plus they simply do not know exactly what they will be implementing when. I do not know whether this is common or not though, I am not that experienced with p2p mmo's.
MMO Forums in general are negative towards the devs. The Devs communicate, they just don't reiterate the same thing over and over again.

It does seem that the only communication that is given is when the next Maintenance will be.

Do the community team care so little or know so little that nothing else can be offered when people are wondering what is going to happen for TOR. Sad truth is that if the funding drops as it seems to be there wont be any quality updates and likely no updates at all. The VO will be too expensive there will be no one to work on the story and there sure wont be an option to create 8 new stories.

As it stands I wonder if the plans for the Emporer will ever appear in the game or whatever plans the writers have. The talk of something happening to space will never happen and the last update other than patches will be HK one.

If Bioware communicated (canned answers doesn't count) then I don't think people would be so mad. They dodge the big questions during Q&A, they tend to remain silent when concerns are raised, and they cannot commit to a timeframe. Bioware needs to get serious, sit down and attempt to meet this community's expectation however unrealistic they might be.

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

I was in another big MMO (DCUO), where the devlopers went silent. The game went f2p and the content is nothing but rehashed. It is one reason I haven't played it in months even though I have a lifetime account.

I really hope this isn't happening with this game.

But the lack of communication. The continue down times for maintenance. The issue with the launcher - Oceanic/Asia not being able to get past the loading screen is even starting to be much for me and I having a blast with my guild and the raids.

They are firing people for not catching all those bugs and fixing those bugs, and having no clue to how to make game better....
