What are you pretending I don't like? GSF? I LOVE GSF...but the queues are far too long. The tactical FPs were fun a few times, but there's nothing of value from them, not even Rep.

I realize you want to pretend we had a stellar year for new content, but that isn't the case. No new Ops, nothing but tactical FPs that players can solo, no new traditional FPs, no new class content, no new player skins, no new daily areas, 1 horrible WZ and a brand new space game that nobody asked for (link if you suggest people did).

Given how poorly they've done in 2014, I'm VERY pleased there are 1 million people logging in a month. That gives me hope. The end of 2014 should be better than the start of it. Don't turn my realistic view into a negative when it's meant as a positive.
Oh Trust and Believe my friend. Once people see the profit potential with Guild Conquests and how easy to build points in GSF queues will be popping more often after 2.9 if not constantly

TOR has been considered the number 2 MMO in the west for a while now. The behemoth WoW has something like 6 million right now. I think. Somewhere in there. They've been bleeding subs at the rate of a million per year for the last 5 years or something.

you should roll a toon on jung ma. GSF pops all day errday and I could use a good partner.

I will be VERY happy to be wrong about this, as I have indicated many times Darth.

I would also think that my assumptions are quite apparent, as my post is quite clear. However I am fairly sure that I did not exaggerate by saying "everyone", as you have done in a silly and unnecessary attempt to belittle my opinion. I do believe I indicated I fear we may lose folks that return to the game for strongholds when they discover what I see as limitations.

There is likely little need to ridicule an opinion that is unqualified, narrow minded and lacks any real insight or foundation other than personal views. The opinion stands as it is....completely baseless guess based on my own intuition and experience, which means next to nothing. Folks can take it as they will.

These numbers are pretty good considering the latest NCSoft earnings call has revealed that Wildstar sold less than 500,000 units on launch.

I agree, it's very promising. I actually expected a lower amount of folks playing, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Now, 'that' is hilarious.

Thing is, with the new Star Wars films just around the corner, EA sees this game with bright eyes.

I mean, they have a bit more than one year to further polish it and etc etc, for when the films start coming out, chances are a lot of people will come here and give SWTOR a try. If they like it, they'll stay.
