(keep it civil) What let you down most about TOR?

No Jedi companion for the trooper class, rather bland having 2 melee tank companions, don't make much sense.

Agreed with everything you said, but this one ^^^ is driving me to want to cancel my sub.

I just want to consolidate all my 50's and be able to use them effectively with the current guild I'm in and hearing what was said yesterday by, AllisonBerryman, "Right now, we don't have any new information about server transfers. We appreciate your patience and know you have questions (especially regarding the possibility of paid transfers)...

"The possibility of paid transfers" does not instill a lot of confidence that they are even planning to let us have paid transfers. What a bummer!!!!

I was reading through thinking to myself what I felt let down by and really.. this is the only thing.. The community, its a sad thing to say but it is true. In game community is great but outside the game.. is where it's ripped apart the most.

I love the game in it's current state and since the mergers, I have enjoyed the game even more... I was a bit taken aback by the F2P announcement. I felt it was not needed, but then, I am not the one looking at the balance sheet. I have decided to subscribe for another 6 months and look forward to more content and communication from BioWare.

As for customer service, I have never had issue with them, when I reported a bug, or issue in game, they got back to me quickly and either fixed it or escalated to a higher level to get fixed. I have found them extremely helpful.

1) Lack of inmersion: The only aspect of the game that makes you feel a bit in a SW uiniverse is the storyline, but are inconsistent and many times they become just a "go there and kill these guys", and the options wheel is irrelevant besides the useless dark/light points.

2) No attachment to my characters: Though I like my PT Tank, I don't feel any attachment to it. Is like any other PT Tank in the game, no or little differences, specially on gear.

3) The game became boring too fast. I played many MMOs, most of them just a couple weeks, mostly because they were not fun for me, but I expected SWTOR to be different. It is SW what means not the overused fantasy theme of 90% MMOs in the market, and it was under development over 6 years and had the biggest budget ever (100M, 500M, I don't care the exact number, it was the biggest investment in a MMO to date) so I expected something really epic and innovative as they promised. But, besides storyline, the whole game is a copy-paste of the same type quests and game mechacnics I went through all those other MMOs I played before. Certainly nothing epic neither innovative. The nail in the coffing was the gear grind dailies. I got sick of Blact Talon the 3rd time I did it... and I did it like 30 times (like the other 8) because of the stupid gear grind.

4) Stupid meaningless crafting system I didn't expect an awesome crafting system, honestly. I realized long ago that I will never see something as complex and complete as SWG's crafting system in a MMO. Seems average MMO player only wants to run around shooting everything so MMO developers doesn't add a "complex" crafting system and they tend to make it easy and dumb. Howevrer in those crafting systems you always could do something useful, surelly not unique, but something that could be sold in game's market. SWTOR went 100 steps further and made the silliest, dumbest and meaningless crafting system I ever saw.

5) Space on rails To be honest, I knew the game was going to fail the day it was announced that space content was going to be a rail shooter. Was my first let down and, awesomely, before the game enter in beta stage. Yes, I admit that SWTOR's rail shooter is fun the first time you play it, even the second time, but is no more than a minigame that they could put in an ingame console (surely much better idea) instead of that silly 3 clicks map to make it look more than what it is: an arcade.

I can't speak of PVP because I'm not a PVPer (I played some hutball matches in the first days but never felt compelled to play pvp regularly) and I do PVP in a MMO only if it is meaningfull, it's got some impact in the world. Obviously SWTOR's PVP is meaningless.

I'm a casual player (I played the game around 3h a day) and for me the game bacame old and boring in 4 months. I was hardcore player in SWG and only NGE made me quit that game. I think that speaks for itself.

wow, you pretty much read my mind. I would also like to add to the list how linear the planets feel and how unlike other games where the zones are all connected into one giant world this game has all the zones it's own planet which makes the game feel very small. Also space combat on rails was a let down, I want to see some free roam space battles.

The biggest thing for me, apart from all that mentioned by others above, I think has to be the blatant lie that was the guarantee of content rolling out every month after 1.2. That was just a barefaced marketing deceit that was designed to keep people subscribing with absolutely no truth behind it. James Ohlen must have known what he was saying was not the truth and that for me was just appalling behaviour - plus a total lack of respect for the playerbase.

To add to what you said why do you think they have been giving us so many goodies? Since launch on several occasions they have awarded subscribers with pets and titles and a free month with only one thing in return....they make you keep your subscription active in order to qualify for them so they basically bait people into subbing again so they don't miss out, just like how recently the new reward for staying subbed is that you will get all those cartel points once game goes f2p.

I don't have a problem with subscription renewal ploys such as the ones mentioned above, that's just standard marketing that all MMOs I'm sure employ. What I do have a problem with is when I am lied to by someone on the pretext of promising something so I will opt for a 6 month subscription on the basis that I will see all this content roll out "month after month". That is really bad and for that very reason I cancelled my recurring sub.

Open World PvP - There was so much potential given the back story of TOR, and instead we get to fight over a few spots of land in Ilum and camp the enemy base for fast valor. It was a bit of a crap system.

The overall attitude of the past/present playerbase.
