Slowly headed down hill

I orgianlly was really into SWG. I bought the game about 10 months ago, but slowly their improvements have taken the game down hill. I was exstatic about the game when I first bought it and convinced several relatives and friends to buy it. Now I don't reccomend it.
There were multiple classes that could do well in PvP when Istarted and that slowly widdled down to three (Rifle,TKA,CM) as a month ago and their recent Jedi publish now makes PvP viable for one profesion and thats Jedi. Tweaking and improvements with out thinking of their effects until later have killed the game. Working professions are ignored until a revamp of another class ruins what remains or are nerfed because a profession overuses its one working special.
They've admited they need a "Combat Balance" sine January but instead of fixing their problem we've gotten the failed Imperial Crack Down, Two Droid Publishes, Image Designer and Chef publishes. Oh as mutiple sets a wookie improvements.
When I first started there were no vechicals and the world seemed endless. Now its faster to drive then wait for shuttles. The crackdown among otherthings has pushed people into two NPC cities.
And now the game is loosing players in droves, empty player houses, shops and vendors litter the country side. Now mine do too, sorry.

*sigh* Another of these posts. Does posting that have a purpose? What exactly do you want to say to you when you post something like that? Maybe you're trying to start a debate between people who closely follow the game and know that your points are mostly invalid and those who just want something to blabber on about?

And what does you post accomplish besides helping to start a flame fest, and whay does my post help by pointing out your assistance in aiding you two? Never mind I am going to go watch tv.

You know, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, I will say this. When you find the perfect game that pleases EVERY player and upsets no one. Let me know, because i would love to buy it.

I find this interesting because I played SWG from the beta until the day they released player vehicles and player cities. I was a master craftsman, master architect and rifleman wookie. I love SW and the idea of playing a wookie had me hooked from the day I heard about the game. I was in a rebel aligned PA and was the XO of our base (spoken PA hall surrounded by mines and barracks).
BUT, the infinite amount of bugs related to crafting, harvesters, factories, houses, etc...made me want to rip my hair out. I eventually gave up and quit because of this and at that time, player subscriptions were in steady decline and player houses/shops littered corellia.
@TookyG: Do you ever wonder why there are so many of "these" posts? It's because we all wanted to see SWG become "that" game. The kind of game we could enjoy for years and years but for MANY MMORPG gamers, new and veteran, SONY let us down. Upon release the following features were to be fully implemented: Player mounts, player vehicles, player cities, space layer. Hell 2 days ago I was at EBgames and saw the box for the first expansion to add the space layer but after looking at it, IT'S STILL NOT OUT. It was a preview box!
Perhaps in a year or two, I'll resubscribe to SWG if it is still around. If it is and all the bugs are fixed, I'll love it.

You need to go by ONLY what news is posted at the official SWG site. 3 Months before SWG release the game DEVs posted that the game would NOT release with Player Mounts, Player Cities, and Player Vehicles. That those features would be added later. They gave 2 very valid reasons. 1 - they needed more time to work on them. 2 - Even if the game did release with them, no player would be able to use them anyway because it would be many months before the player crafters became high enough level, before the player economy was in full swing to allow players to purchase those items.
The "space layer" aka Space Expansion aka SE has abosolutly never ever been advertised being in the game at release. Never. Since mid 2000, a few months after SWG was announced (back at the end of 1999) the game DEVs said the SE would be done and released seperate from the game.
