SOE sabotaging SWG

Someone wrote the devs at SWG seem to be sabotaging it.  It sure looks that way.  It's really unbelievable the things they've done and still continue doing.  Their excuses for doing the stuff they have are lame and weak.

Now they're going to give the shaft to crafters.  The weak explanation for this is they say it'll be easier to obtain.  Armor was never hard to get so using this as one of the excuses is bs.  Besides, why now?  Why not before way back when?

But in a way I'm very happy they continue to break this game after the NGE.  Why?  Because this is now happening to all those who have time and time again stepped up to defend the game.  It's happening to people like Obraik and all those who still support the game even though they have been screwed like the rest of us ex-players. 

It's really unbelievable how someone who was there before the CU's can still continue to pay this game.  On the other hand the newer players who just came in, they have the excuse they didn't know the game back then.  So, its sorta ok for them.

The majority of us ex-vets are standig on the sidelines no longer paying or supporting SOE so to us it doesn't really matter.  We're just stating the obvious.  We're happy to be on the outside looking in since we refuse to play into their greedy, grubby hands as do the current players.

For us, all we can do is cherish the memories and good times we had back when the game was a real Starwars Experience.

All I have to say to the vets who have continue to support SOE is, GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

    It honestly does look like they are crashing the car on purpose. Especially in light of the new crafting changes. I can't for the life of me see how they are just that daft as to not see that a rollback or something similar is the only way to save the game. It's getting suspiciously clear that they don't want this game to be saved.

    ya it does, I mean I can find so many bugs in this game, it isnt even funny, and when I want to fill out form to inform them, they have the crappiest options to choose from when submitting the bug, the choices are so bad, I can't even sumbit it. The bugs I found were me being shot through abuilding, and I was standing behind a little rock, as big as my char's foot right? I shoot something on the other side and geuss what I see! CANNOT SEE TARGET! That just pissed me off for the day lol. and then other things bug me about it, like I wanted to move my character to the server my friend is on, and they charge money for it?!?! I mean come on! Money just so you could move your character?!?!

    If they wanted to sabotage it they would remove Jedi. Opps...there goes 90% of the current players.

    I personally don't think they are. There are much easier ways to sabotage a game as a previous poster pointed out, just remove jedi.
    I believe it's simply that they have no real direction to go with the game. They have no clue what to do next and they are so out of touch with their community it's sad.
    Personally I think it just simply shows how pathetic and how screwed up the company is.

    Well there probably is a profitability clause that they are trying to default on in order to get out of the license argeement. I have seen many companies do that. They may still have to meet the licensee's requirements. (implementing jedi and its myriad of changes was largely a LA push, not SOE). I think there are a lot of politics going on. You can see politics at work with Hasbro and its figure lines for episode II. There was such a backlash from Ep I and unbought figures from retailers that Hasbro was under serious heat. The very slim offerings from Ep II was a direct result from this, as well as they poor quality. This directly impacted Lucas' merchanise revenue from Ep II and was a slap from Hasbro to Lucas over the price of their license and the short fallings of their marketing research. Also however, the economic slump didnt help either. Just some things to chew on.

    Your not too far off the mark in my opinion.  Here is something I posted on thier board a while back when Ents were griping.....a post which got me banned for being "off topic"image.  lol, i hate SOE

     

    anyway:

     

    After the CU they basically started making Docs, CHs, and many other profs weaker and weaker, and more irrelevant in the game...in an effort to "balance" and adjust to "what the community is showing it's interest in".  So what happened to those profs?  They ALL got put out to pasture.  For the longest time I couldn't understand these "changes", then came in the NGE, and it ALL made sense.  Basically the way I see it is:  They wanted to get rid of all these proffessions in order to make way for the coming change.  Rather than just taking away these profs that people enjoyed and played, it was easier to dumb them all down to the point that people moved out of those profs and into the more..."Iconic" profs we see today. 

     


    See, they are shoving people out of the crafting and entertaining business so they can eliminate it alltogether.  Then when they nix that prof they can just say " we are just responding to the playerbase, people just arn't playing that proffession any longer and we decided to get rid of it so we can allocate valuable attention and resources to other areas".....

     

    Well, it looks like they are continuing into a total combat based game like I thought back when they started cutting the legs out from under so many of the proffessions to the point of uselessness.  Looks like they are making paths to the NGE2 and trying to push people out of trader and ent and any other non-combat proffession.....ents have combat abilities now huh?  Traders will be next, then they will neglect the trading and entertaining side of these proffessions and pry call them something "NEW AND EXCITING"  and even more "ICONIC!"....this will all come in the way of "exciting new additions to SWG!!"

     

    I cancelled my account 2 days after the NGE....which sucks for me cus I paid for a year shortly after the CU came in....

     

    I don't play anymore, nor would I.  I saw the handwriting on the wall back then.  Even if they brought up classic PRE-CU servers, I don't think I would have the onions to come back...

    SOE has literally become it's own parody, it's almost difficult to make fun of them anymore because they are such a joke in the industry.

    I have to agree with the stupidity concept. The only real conspiracy they've been able to pull off is dooping 300k players to play a beta for 3 years and pay them 15 bucks a month. You may see some grand scheme in the moves they've made, but I say it's just due to profound stupidity. Freeman himself said that the NGE was something he pulled out of his ass one day playing around on his computer. No grand scheme, no conspiracy. Just one, great big profound dumbass, surrounded by a bunch of smaller pushover dumbasses.

    one of the biggest piss offs about the CU and the NGE were the piss poor deal crafters got. Some blind sod at SOE is going to do the same thing again whats next SOE any master crafter will now be a lvl 90? and come with some new "cool" combat moves that will be all but the same as a BH and every publish after that some crafted item will longer be "needed"

    get bent SOE, whats more SWG just go sit in the cornewr and die quietly

    Tin Foil hats dont work.. its all a conspiracy
