Sub runs out today. Account creation 6/29/09. Been here since closed beta. 5.0 was the tipping point for me. Haven't logged in for 2 weeks.

I hear ya OP. Account creation 6/29/09. Yup, I have been here since closed beta but my account runs out today. Sadly 5.0 was the final nail in the coffin for me (haven't logged in for 2 weeks). I just can't justify paying money for this game anymore. Not going to say I didn't get my money's worth though. It was fun while it lasted.

Think Pirillo said it best, "Carrie Fisher is no longer with us. I feel that my daughter has the "Hero" who's also known as a princess in entertainment. Because so many "Princesses" in entertainment are just that." Rarely are they seen as a hero or princess outside of the entertainment industry like Carrie Fisher was.

Love it or hate one thing is certain with all the controversy around the latest update; 5.0 will be SWTOR's version of SWG's nge.

Congratulations Sir! You have won the game! Here is your crappy orange item along with BW's own personal thumbs up!

The fact of the matter is that no new end game content is ever going to be developed for swtor again. TOS/RAV came out two years ago and since that time there has been nothing developed except for one boss thrown in on Ziost. The rest of the game has been absolutely nothing but story and cartel market items. And now that the story is done, don't expect to see another one of those either. The resources aren't there for it. So we are stuck with more rehashed content as the new push (aka Uprisings) along with a RNG grind and of course Cartel Market items. This is not going to change. Anyone else notice how Cartel Packs have been getting cheaper as of late? 200 per pack for the latest ones as they come out etc? This is due to the fact that the sales are down. If they were up you bet your arse they wouldn't drop the price one bit. Hell they would probably raise them. Sadly this is the reality of where the game is and will continue to go. Like it or not 5.0 was devastating to a vast majority of the player base. I have watched many active guilds completely disintegrate over the past couple of weeks. I myself have enjoyed this game since closed beta. Up until this point for the most part I was ok with where swtor was going. I accepted the fact that updates would be slow and that chances are the devs would never use the term "New Op" again (hence why in streams it's "new group content"). However with no new events in years, rehashing old content for a second time around and throwing RNG on top of it all; Thanks but no thanks, I'm out.

Better off holding back from this title. There is nothing new other than the story from when last you played. They added Uprisings, which are like 10 minute mini flashpoints but that's about it. No new end game and gear is all RNG now. Trust me, come back again in a year to see if anything has developed.

This will always be the case with a 2 faction system in any game. To this day I am still amazed that mmo's do not copy Dark Age of Camelots (now a 15 year old game that's still going) 3 faction system. You always had one power house faction however it allowed the two smaller factions to join forces to help one another topple the larger one. Even the reward system for pvping (new skills earned etc to encourage it) was ground breaking. To this day I have never seen a single mmo implement a pvp system as successful as this one. As long as new MMO's continue to build around two factions their pvp system will always fail.

I like the changes they are doing with the January patch. However with no new end game content on the horizon think I am done for awhile. Sadly swtor is kind of at the end of its life cycle. Nothing left to do and I don't believe they have the resources to add more end game content even if they wanted too. I have killed everything in this game and in every mode multiple times over. Uprisings are a nice little breath of fresh air but not enough. Time to move on.

Doubt we are going to see anything worth while. They have already made it abundantly clear that they are sticking with their new RNG system. The only thing that "might" change it is mass cancellations. I use the term "might" however due to the age of this MMO and the chance that it is probably already written off into maintenance mode. Rumors have it that EA already has another mmo lined up that we should hear about later this year. If true then don't expect much more out of this one.

It's actually kind of funny and sad at the same time. Even though this has everything to do with the game they keep moving all the threads to off topic. Hell the first page is nothing but complaints. I hope EA enjoys reporting one last time that profits are doing well for Q4 because I doubt you will hear a peep about this game come Q1.

Used to do nim raiding but CXP killed the group I ran with. Now cancelled and just pvp from time to time until my sub runs out.

Don't have time to read all that atm but saw your hand comment. If that's the case, Powertech is for you. The others have a lot of rotational skills to go through as to where the PT can kind of just sit there and take it (has highest armor rating in game).

The whole "RNG" equals new content for many mmo's is a trend in the wrong direction. And though it may sound bad and it's sure to be attacked by the "White Knights"; I hope swtor implodes from this current debacle. Only when gamers refuse to put up with such garbage will it ever come to an end.
