Did I hear this right?

This is your priority?

Our priority is an official statement. There hasn't been one since March.

See my previous post about Battlefield. I don't see how this has to be any different.

We don't want SGRs in the game right now, we just want an answer.

Its as good as anyone else's

For a game with a lot of hype around the story, and "create your own saga" etc... It's lacking a lot on the RP department. Lotro have more tools, you can play your own music, even make a band, smoking, housing, appearance tab, sitting on almost any chair, with differents animation if you are short (dwarf/hobbit) or not...
This game seriously lack customization and basic RP tools. Even for someone like me, who don't play on RP Server, and never rp with people, I think it's missing.

Further, as of the most recent Livestream Q&A (see dulfy.net for a transcript), that comment in March has been pretty much taken back. What we had last were Daniel Erickson's comments at the Guild Summit and since then Erickson has left the studio and there have been significant changes to the direction of the game.

We expressed concern several months ago that these changes might affect the timeline or scope of this content and voiced those concerns where we had be told was appropriate, and never heard a word. Now we hear, generally and nonspecifically, that not all of what was said at the summit is still current, but without being told whether or not same-gender romantic content is in that category.

The only statement remaining was made pre-launch, by the then Community Manager, Stephen Reid. He also is no longer with the studio, and his comments were made to a pre-launch audience, in September of 2011. Since launch, then, we've had one statement and it has been rescinded, leaving us with nothing at all.

So yes, for those not so totally disappointed and angered at how information is being selectively withheld in a deliberate and discriminatory fashion that we have ceased to play, this clarification is a priority.

I'm going to just leave this here.

EA's stance on LGBT content in their games.

Money is not the issue.

The posters in the SGR thread had to write in and correct an assumption that was left in that very article:

Love SGRs, hate SGRs, we're all players. I hope everyone is enjoying the game. I most certainly am.

There is a quote, although I don't have it handy, that sums up how relevant SGRA's are to BW/EA's as far as marketing goes. I believe its from Gaider although I can't remember and its too much work to find it right now. Perhaps someone from the SGRA Clarification Thread can link it here if they have it handy. Anyway this quote states that people that have used and are interested in SGRA content is larger then most people think, so unless you have a marketing analysis to contradict this information I'd say that yes, anyone's priority in SWTOR is just as good as any other.

Found one Quote:

I hate to say this.. but put SGR as unlocks in cartel market say 700 cc/relation then BOOM you'll have it this month

No one is saying that SGRs should be priority number one. I, for one, think that bug-fixes should always be priority one. But that's the great thing about the way things are developed. You don't have the people writing story stop writing because a bug needs fixed, or because they're working on something for PvP. They have teams dedicated to specific tasks. There's a team for fixing technical things, there's a community team, there's a PvP team, there's a story team, and so on. The story team devoting time to working on SGRs doesn't slow down the PvP team or the bug-fixing team; they're independent of one another. And, like Natashina brought up, it's a "non-issue" from an investor perspective, so money isn't an issue.

I do. It is 12 months over due far as I am concerned. This is baseline class story content. It boggles the mind really how they went live without it.
