Your numbers are fancy and all... but you overlooked one critical point. That "200k" Bioware stands to gain, I'd wager my next months pay 60% are already on board with bootcamp. Sputter and cry all day, TOR isn't coming out for CrapOSX. The market isn't there outside of the people already playing via Bootcamp.

Because it's annoying as hell searching through 74 pages of single items to find the one you want, especially with TORs **** AH UI.

That's fine, you don't have to use it. But in MY group... if I have 2 Marauders and for arguments sake ones doing 10k the other is doing 5k and the average DPS in the raid is 8k, I am going to kick the 5k guy if he doesn't step it up on the next boss. There is nothing I, nor many others in-game hate more then that moocher who doesn't do anything useful except spam auto attack.

1. That counts pre-orders, so the is highly skewing the results. 2. That only counts the purchase of the box game itself. 3. Compare the server status page from launch to now. FULL all the way down except for a couple servers, now barely any hit full. Yea, a ton of people bought the game before launch, but they all stopped subbing. Box sales don't mean diddly, it's how many subscribers you have, which really isn't a lot.

Because leveling up is boring as ****? You can dress it all up with story and voice and hype it up, but it still sucks, and end game is where the fun was supposed to be (in TOR it's not sadly). Adding more annoying voice that you can't skip altogether and making leveling up take longer isn't the answer. Challenging and Rewarding content is. WoW's raids have minimalistic ingame story behind them, it tells you who what when and where, and then you go in and kill ****, and it's challenging, rewarding and FUN. TOR it's just grab 6-7 of your buddies and go herp derp through it spamming the space bar all the way.

Explode, this thread shall. Just wait for the e-mail to go out. I resubbed just to be able to post.... for the lulz!

Yes, this game is clearly not WoW, and is failing as such, as that is what people want. And if you can't see why combat logs are needed, clearly you aren't a decent or better player. Running through a boss fight in a instance or raid... and the group wipes... let me go check the combat log and see.... oh wait, can't, oh well, let's try it again with no *********** idea as to what's killing us, or if my rotation is the best, or if Jimmy over there is even pulling the same amount of DPS, let's just blindly herp derp so the bad players aren't called out for being bad so they have to improve.

One, do every level 50 daily, including PvP, and you'll nab 200k. Drop artifice and grab Bioan, and sell all the mats on the AH, make bank, thirdly, Ilum is a easy planet... if you can't do it... sorry, but go get some better gear. Making 2-300k a day is extremely easy, more once you know what to sell and what not to sell.

Combat Log and Macros are the only 2 things I can totally agree with, I don't agree with anything else. But yet, just out of spite to Bioware, their whole philosophy of "we" is really starting to piss me off more then it did during the beta when it wasn't so bad. "We didn't like the match to chest option".... so they remove it when polls indicated over 90% of people loved it. Who cares if gear started looking the same, it was a lot better then looking like a clown who ran through a paint store knocking down shelves. And the many other examples of Bioware deciding that it's their game, they'll do what they want, conveniantly forgetting the fact we pay them to play.

Doesn't apply. In this game, they can't "beat you down" if you get it first, all they can do is rage at you, nothing more. I come in, spam tab and q and win the tag 99% of the time then savor the rage. There is no line for a mob spawn, whoever tags it first gets it, sorry you have to click the mob then click the skill while I can just spam my macro key and tab and q constantly.

Just means you suck. Auto Turn is a huge disadvantage for melee, and a huge advantage for ranged. It's good to see who the scrubs are in this thread, they're the ones who are crying for it to not be removed, because otherwise they'd suck.

People are qutting left and right, "This is not the MMO you are looking for" aptly describes the situation. Populations are going to drop for another month or two then will stabilize.

At least as horde you don't get stuck waiting 97 minutes for a match to get..... Huttball. You can pop a Arena queue in less then 3 minutes, faster on the more populated servers.

No, politicians are far more reliable then Bioware.

As I read the OP I had this picture in my mind the whole time.
