Wow. um. I play swtor. And so being that there is a team of people that make and plan content for a living for this game it would only make since that they would be able to see in advance any "bored" times coming for their players and um....do something about it. I am a subscriber and do not pay my hard earned cash to be bored. I never said I don't go outside or that I was depressed and was near suicide....LOL. Bored does not = depressed and dying of sunlight deprivation.

I like all the activities on swtor and have been playing since before prelaunch (participated in 3 beta's). I have tons of money from endless grinding and am just bored. It is the responsibility of the gaming dev's to keep the player interest by putting out new content on a regular basis. It would have taken them little to nothing to throw the gree event or something out during this dry time.

Yeah, I was thinking that last night myself. So, seeing as I've met the requirements for my house, I cancelled my sub again, and I'll be enjoying summer and working on my book while I wait for housing to actually be implemented. Seemed like the second I signed back on they pushed the release back lol.

Games are meant to cure boredom. Not cause it. If you fail at that, then well; maybe you have an issue with your product.
businesses also cannot spread themselves too thin. any business that tries to cover too many bases, covers none of them well, overextends and fails, becasue even quality of their staples starts to slip as a result.

but to continue with food analogues. some times I feel like a steak. so I go to a steak house. when I get bored with the steak, I don't demand that steak house starts making sushi for me, I go to a dedicated sushi place and get it from them instead. and sometimes I just want a nice, Brooklyn style pizza. so I go to a place that actualy makes those, instead of demanding that place that specializes in something else - makes me one.

now, to get back on topic - BIoware does have a few things planned for the next 3 months, from returning events, to double rewards, etc. whether its enough to alleviate boredom? is an individual thing. just like Mcdonalds might add a few items to the menu, those items might STILL not be the food I may be looking for at the time. so advice to do something else, some place else? still very much applies.

personally, I've been making my way through some of the single player games I had on back burner for a while, as well as attempting to conquer charcoal grill. when something in SWTOR bores me? I stop doing it. when I'm not in a mood for something? I find something else to do, that I'm in a mood for.

it is not bioware's responsibility to figure out everything for everyone. could they be doing better with their specific niche? hell's yes. but even if they do better, they still cannot be everything to everyone. so be responsible for your own fun.

P.S. incidentally, I'm taking subscription break myself until strongholds early access. what I'm still enjoying, I can do as prefered and becasue my subscription budget is limited, might as well spend it on some cartel coins for collections unlocks instead. /shrug

I pay a subscription...so I somewhat have an issue with just going and playing something else when it gets boring.
