Was in the same situation as you, so I went a little crazy. Maybe its a little extreme but I deleted all my characters bar 1 that held all my stuff I had collected from all and started a new Smuggler that had enough credits (9 million) to start from scratch.

I have literally bought every available boost ( xp, fp, mail droid etc), finally spent the 600CC to unlock Rascals toothpick on all my characters and having a hell of a time. Seems a bit excessive to delete all my chars but the majority were not played endgame to various changes to cater for PVP balance that affected my primarily focused PVE characters.

But like others have said there are many other games to spend some time on in addition to playing SWToR. I for example have still been playing for 4-8 hours a day (Currently off till August) yet have still been playing games like The Wolf among us, Batman: Arkham Origins and Tesla Effect. Like the poster above suggested I will also be trying Watch Dogs when it comes out.

So what you are saying is that the devs are indeed putting out content, but it's not the kind of content you like.
And that it's their responsibility to cater to your whims and tastes.

That's like me saying that Call of Duty needs more Tennis because I like tennis games and it's the devs responsibility to give me what I want.

Pure and utter nonsense.

If this game isn't giving you what you want, then go play another game. One game cannot cater to every single persons whims and needs.

Ps. Gree event isn't new... so you are contradicting yourself.

I'm bored.

I'll go on the forums and talk about it.

I could just take a break from swtor, play another video game, watch a movie or read something


But instead, I'm going to the forums and talk about it. Hopefully, other people will talk about how bored they are and we'll all have a blast talking about our collective boredom. If that fails, I can always be entertained with backlash and trolling.


Either way, its a win-win for me.

Some games just run their course and people move on when they no longer find the product fun. You can look to see if anything appeals to you, if it does not, go, get out of here.

Unsub, pop back in a few months if you fancy checking out how things are going then.

Frankly, anyone bored of any game, who continues to play it, really needs help.

Why waste your leisure time doing anything you do not enjoy?

And remember, this is a game, it is not a sentient being and does not give a rat's arse about you. You owe it nothing whatsoever, you get no prizes for being the clown wasting their spare time doing something they don't enjoy.

I took about a month break near the start of the year, and played another F2P game for a while. I eventually got bored with that, and came back. If you're bored whilst waiting for housing, try something new. It's not even like it's that long of a wait. Or even unsub for a while. But just because you pay a sub doesn't mean they need to cater to your every whim, sorry. They are adding content, and if it's not content you want - well it happens.

Well TOR is sinking OP. Loss of subs, devs focusing all their attention to the cash shop to gouge the remaining playerbase, thus lack of focus on developing content on a regular basis. The future of this MMO is VERY grim.

funny, because they diverted most resources to work on 2 MAJOR EXPANSIONS, so yeah, your comment is incorrect and/or ill-informed.

and in 2.8 you can purchase crafting materials for warzone commendations to give pvpers an alternative from buying packs to get crafting materials. So they put pvpers ahead of potential cm profits. How does it feel?

What sub loss? Come with numbers, now. Since you seem to know so well what's what? Do you actually HAVE something called a fact to back it up, or are you talking out of your neck, as usual? How DO you know where developers are focussing their attention? What's being gouged?

THIS is trolling. It's not criticising the game; it's hollow, unfounded, baseless rhetoric that seeks to damage the reputation of this game. You say absolutely NOTHING.

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.
There are limitations on how fast a company will put out new content. For some people, the pace will be more than fast enough, for some it will feel like its grinding on forever. This occurs even in single player games.

For example the Dragon Age or Mass Effect series. Each new iteration satisfies my need for entertainment for about a month. For other players, who replay them time and time again, the pacing is just fine. For me, I'd need something like 6 Dragon Age games and 6 Mass Effect games in a year if I were to only follow those two series.

Practically speaking, if you consume content more quickly than a single developer can produce it, you should go to multiple developers. In other words, play other games.


You also mention feeling that you need to get your money's worth for your sub. The nice thing about a sub model, is you can unsub in between content patches. Its a fairly widespread practice.


As a final note, businesses do not actually devote enormous time and resources to cater to outliers in their customer base.
