More evidence of the population collapse: A poll
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=650995�
This thing has been up since midday yesterday and it doesn't even have 500 votes as of now as I post this.
Pre-NGE such a poll would have had 5,000 votes OR MORE within a couple hours. Such as the polls about whether the CU was fun or not during it's testing...
Smuggler leading Jedi also is a laugh. As borked as smuggler was Pre-NGE they were much more smuggler like than the current incarnation, at least they sliced (never reintroduced since NGE) and made and sold spice (never reintroduced since NGE).
Let the spin begin. Considering that Pre-NGE such a poll would have had to have over 32 options on it, "too much reading required" isn't a valid excuse.

and smuggler leading is a joke. in the pre-cu system smuggler was fine as yes you are right they made spice and did slicing thus supporting the rest of us. now it's a joke of a profession and the only people who play it are fanbois.
this is why pre-cu needs to come back or the game needs to shutdown. cuz fanbois got to go.
Wasn't it said that posters represent 10% of the active player base? Then this would indicate less than 5k active players at this time. I also believe that the last few SWG polls also had a poor number of players responding. This does seem to indicate a seriously reduced playerbase possibly compounded with a total lack of efficacy.
Interesting how there's still a very strong support for Pre-NGE professions in the thread.
So far it's about every 4th or 5th post is a Pre-NGE prof.
Then there are the profession revamps. After months of providing input, creature handlers finally got their much needed revamp, and they loved it. Just a few weeks later, the entire profession is deleted. So much for input.
Then there's Smed's letter to the community after the NGE. What do people ask for? Initially a rollback to a working game system, later just the option of classic servers. Does SOE listen? No.
Then there were face to face meetings with players. What do the players ask for? Server mergers. What does Smed promise? To fast track server mergers. Have their been any server mergers? No.
With their track record of completely disregarding player input and/or telling players what they want to hear and then actually doing the opposite, I'm surprised anyone at all responds to their polls.
haha look at the trader profession lol ...all crafters together can't match up with a single other profession..
crafting is almost dead in the current crapware version haha
while PRE CU crafters were on par with if not the most respected professions/people.
grats $OE for creating the biggest Star crap-Wars of all times.
-----MY-TERMS-OF-USE--------------------------------------------------
$OE - eternal enemy of online gaming
-We finally WON !!!! 2011 $OE accepted that they have been fired 2005 by the playerbase and closed down ridiculous NGE !!
"There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic." Raph Koster (parted $OE)
Now the devs can't think past Jedi to fix crafting or entertaining.
Cornelius Drebbel himself couldn't fix this submarine. smed has already nailed a screen door to it and is
making full steam ahead into icebergs.
arguing with a corporate fanboi is like teaching special education.
even if you teach him something...at the end of the day he's still retarded.
What a sad game this thing turned into.. not much else to say. If you want specifics about my experience, just give me a shout out..

ARRGGHHHH !!!!!
This is the whole point about why SWG was the greatest MMO ever - I was a crafter and a fighter with a litlle medic thrown in.
I logged on a few weeks ago as I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed off with WoW and I couldn't do diddly.
As a crafter all I could was make things with no combat what so ever - so I created an alt Jedi - and what a waste of time that was !!!!!!
I'ved said it before and I will keep saying it
PLEASE BRING BACK PRE-CU
nuff said
That sums it up perfectly. It's a testament to how good the old game was the people still feel this strongly about it years later.
OMG !!!!!!
Does the arrogance never end?
You ask for a poll and then only allow certain votes - its like saying vote Hill (Barack who? - sorry not on the ballot) or vote McCain ( Sorry? - Democrats? - Not with you there?)
I quote:
"(Note: Beast Master, Pilot and Politician are noble career paths as well, but we're focusing on the main professions in this poll.)"
unquote.
aka - if you are any of these professions expect them to be dropped shortly
Has G W Bush infected you all in the US?
What happened to the right of free speech?
GOD _ SOME ONE PLEASE PUT THIS GAME OUT OF ITS MISERY !!!
Please everyone - email $ony and either get a Pre-Cu or ask them to kill it

You know it really does.. It is really sad, they still have a lot of cool features that enhance the immersion of livability in a virtual world, however the game play isn't there, it's completely broken, people don't want to spend $15 a month for cool decorations in a virtual house.
This game is like a lame horse, and needs to be taken out back and shot.
