Uderstand this, LA wanted SWG to be what it is now.

Realise this, LA wants SWG to be what it is now, they did not and would NEVER want it to be it's own world too different from Star Wars the way it was, NOT ICONIC Enough. Even if you think it was more iconic before that does not matter, LA did NOT think that,
If you do not think it is iconic now then that is another topic. But LA does think it is more iconic now then it was and that is what counts.
The point is LA did not want SWG to be it's OWN WORLD that was too far away from the movies. Get It?
Even if this game In your opinion bad now that's fine, so play another game if you want what SWG used to be but you can not play SWG or ANY Star Wars Game unless it is made to be Star Warsy or at least tried to be if that is your opinion.
SWG was not meant to be like it started out, that is why they changed it. It was like they were not going along with what Star Wars games are sapposed to be.
Either way I like it now how it is and is becomming so lucky me 
I feel Sorry for you who were used of the old game SWG was though, I mean it.
There are alot of games out there most Fantasy i know but they got that sandbox you want, not star wars though and the fact is NO company will EVER be allowed to make a Star Wars game like SWG was again because LA would not want that.
And yes LA would not want that even if SOE took the fall to save LA's face, besides it was SOE's mistake to make SWG like they did in the 1st place but they corrected it now.
EVEN if it dies now it will NEVER be what it was before.

I will agree with you that LA wants the game to be the way it is or they would change it.
However, I don't see how anyone can objectively say the game is more like Star Wars now than before the NGE. Think about the ways game deviates from the movies now, that it did not pre-CU, or even pre-NGE. The further back to luanch the closer the game was to movies. With each patch it gets less and less star warsy.
Jedi. This is the most obvious. In the movies, they are rare and powerful. In the NGE they are pentiful and weak.
GCW. Admittedly this isn't directly the the fault of the NGE, but its part of the same trend, In the movies, the empire and the rebellion are at war. In the NGE, a rebel in faction armour can slaughtering Imperial Storm trooper NPC, but a Imperial player must sit idly bye. Or you might see the two players in a cantina just chatting it up, since they
Obi Wan's Blue Glowie. In the movies, his whole goal was to help Luke overthrow the empire. In the Trials of Obi Wan expansion, his blue glowie will give quests and rewards to Imperial Players, even Imperial Jedi.
These are a just a couple of example, but in no meaningful way, is the NGE more like the movies.
I think what you mean is that Lucas Arts wants a simplistic game that a Star Wars skins, not one that like the movies.

Yep, things were all quiet in the wheel house till everyone realised that all the promises for the CU were complete BS and there wasn't enough life rafts for all the peeps cancelling their subs.
Lucky you, since you like it. Congratulations. You're right, SWG needed a lot of work to get from where it started from to where it should have been. This was NOT the right direction to go, however. They could have added Star Wars content without destroying the most unique game ever. You are the first person that I have ever seen post anywhere that is not a LA/SOE employee (you're not, right?), that actually wants to have an iconic character. Everyone else that I've talked to wants to be their OWN person in the Star Wars universe. Some want to be heroes, but some want to be moisture farmers too. If they would have done what they should have done from the beginning, that being fix bugs and add content, we would still have some semblance of our pre-CU game with all the Star Wars elements.
As for your suggestion, today was the last day on my account. I'll never play another SOE game again, and quite frankly, I'd love nothing more than to see the entire Sony corporation go out of business. Hopefully their blundering with the PS3 makes that happen, though I doubt it.

I am sure LEC had a hand in what SWG is now. In fact I blame both of them equally. When I refer to SOE I usually mean both SOE and LEC.
But I reminded of days gone by in SWG history. How the SOE developers used to always blame LEC for not allowing things or forcing others. Like they couldnt bring Darth Vader or Lukle out as dev controlled NPCs because it would violate something in the contract. In a way this sounded logical and acceptable. But they started using that excuse for everything.
EDIT: Remember when they said the NGE was made by LEC. Yet later it was found out that SOE had a much larger hand in its creation then they said before?
Oh I am sure LEC is just as guilty of this travesty but dont think SOE's hands are clean. They are just as guilty.
