The Republic: SWTOR is "Out of Control"

Lol @ christmas whining.

Every other MMO is having a -winter event- its not CHRISTMAS.

rift? Fae Yule.
GW2? Wintersday
TSW? Okay, yea thats christmas but its a modern MMO based in present day.


Bioware took it one step too far making people have to pay to enjoy the festivities of whatever winter solstice event they choose to celebrate. Not only does no other MMO charge you to get your christmas items (some do have ADDITIONAL ones), but they all have actual festive events.

You can kiss bioware's butt all you want, but the facts are facts. More people like than dislike holiday events. A few whiny kids on the forums arent the voice of the hundreds of thousands of subs. Yet even with all of the things out there, podcasts, blogs, articles, videos, reviews, a lot from reputable and popular gaming sites pointing all of this out.....Bioware and its fanatics (I say fanatics, because I love bioware, thus I am a fanboy, but I can realize when they're wrong) apparently give no %^#^s.

Bioware is haveing War on Xmas just like Fox News!

massively = small minded kid bloggers
/pass

Ok but are they wrong about what they said?

Preface: I am a huge fan of Gary Gannon. He wanted to turn Gamebreaker into the "CNN" of video game news, and the production values of his shows are tremendous.

Concerning this issue and THAT episode:
1. Always thought Holiday Events in MMOs suck. I could care less.
2. Bioware could sell virtual poop in the Cartel market for all I care. You want to spend our money on ****, good on you, good on them.
3. Other than the fact that you can get a few Blackhole comms now, stuff for the Space Game is hardly "pay to win." Besides, if you're an addict to this little side game, you're going to need the space package for those brutally hard new missions. (I will say this, however, I am not entirely pleased with the effect the space upgrades have had on crafters. I know crafting for credits is difficult as is.)
4. Gary Gannon is really the one "Out of Control." He has veered into irresponsible journalist territory; he is now that dude who never plays SWTOR, yet spouts off emotional opinions about everything in the game. He hasn't booted up the game in months and yet he's going to give us all his informed opinion on the direction the game is going? I'm really tired of the internet hacks in this position who continue to pound SWTOR in ignorance, and will probably continue to do so because they know they'll get a rise out of people -- negative or positive.

But to get back to my preface, I really enjoy Gary for the most part. He is a charming, witty dude. I am actually more disappointed with Larry and Justin -- they play the game and allow the show to become a SWTOR troll session.

Sorry for the wall of text...

already had posted on the forums day and some ago.

I hope someone higher up at Bioware EA has watched it, because it IS very difficult to disagree with anything they are saying.

And it can only help the game long-term for Bioware EA to realise this.
