My 2 cents:
Preordered the CE and have subbed since headstart, but this new event just showed me how bad this game is at it's core, and I really don't see them fixing it. Might not even be possible with the cannibalized version of the Hero engine they're using.
Added to all the broken promises and outright lies(removing the grind my ***) it's just not worth playing any more.
If they ever make it so you can level solely from class quests(which are the only part of the levelling experience that isn't a grind packed in VO) or make the world feel alive, and not just like a static background, I might return.
But I really doubt that's going to happen. They've shown time and time again that they're unwilling or unable to make any good decision. And now with the F2P mixed with EAs greed I don't have any hope for this game.
This game should have been so much better.
RIP Bioware and Star Wars MMOs.
And shame on you BEAware for turning the SW IP, Bioware and a mountain of cash into a broken, stuttering pile of s**t.
EDIT: Forgot the 40% of unsubbers unsubbing because of the monthly fee line.
Everyone who bought this game knew it had a sub fee and were prepared to pay it.
And saying this game isn't worth 15 bucks a month isn't the same as saying they'll return if it goes F2P.
A bad game is still a bad game even if it's free.
