Actually I think you were right on target in your rant towards the middle of the podcast. It's well time for players to realize that the game isn't going to get much better in the short term. If you don't like it the way it is right now, you shouldn't be subscribed to SWG becuase it's going to continue to bite just as hard at least until the Winter (at least based on the patch schedule that was discussed). Based on your excellent and informative podcast, I can see that there really isn't any reason for me to try SWG again until the current bugs are fixed, the proffession diversification is done, and crafters and dancers have a purpose in life. It seems like it might be a game I'd enjoy around this time next year, I'll wait and see.
I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us.
Originally posted by fariq My point was why are they people posting on the offical forums that hate the game. If I don't like something I don't play it and I sure as hell don't hang around to complain about why I am not playing it. I wasn't telling anyone to STFU and leave I was just saying if you are not happy take a break and come back when something that interest you is implemented into the game.
I liked pre-cu. It had bugs, issues, problems, bugs, issues, bugs and even some problems and issues. But I liked it. I never whined about any single thing, on forums or in game.
When CU came, it was same as pre-cu, with same bugs, issues, problems, bugs, .... Same thing, never bothered to whine. The game was OK, with pre-cu pearls, and some other good gear I was well off. Egoistic, yes. But even then, many people had considerably better gear, which would be forever unatainable. But so what, win some, lose some.
After NGE, I played for two months, waited two more, then quit. No whining again. I've often stated my opinion, but I hope that at least I try to consider all aspects. Besides, SOE has proven incapable of responding to player's desires, and that is not bound to change.
SWG for me is dead and a memory. If pre-cu in any form comes back, I won't be there. The world and comunity that once existed was destroyed. And even if the images of that could be brought back, the soul can't.
But I do still get the kick out of both, whiners and fanbois.
But the funniest thing are two guildies. They played since pre-cu. They whined constantly. When they spoke in guild chat, others would leave. They couldn't be satisfied with anything, couldn't make money, complained about every single thing. Come NGE, and they are the top dogs. They are now pre-cu vets, respec Jedi (not elder of course), looking down and patronizing everyone and everything. And that I don't aprove, because it strikes me as highly hypocritical. And such attitude changes and comunity aspects were what finally killed the game for me. The flaming, bickering, arrogance, insults, bah, to hell with a community like that. In the end, it's always about community.
