Community is awful now

admriker444admriker444 Member Posts: 1,526

For those thinking of going back, DON'T. The community, the one aspect of SWG that was always great just plain stinks now. My nephew and I played around with his account until last week because the community literally drove him out. He couldnt find any groups for high-end quests like Nekrosis. He got flamed for advertising his goods, and worse stuff I wont repeat here.

Take a look at others' experiences as well. The community is now what LA / SOE hoped for, a bunch of immature kiddies.

    From the above link...(in case SOE removes the post)

    the simplified version of the game attracts kids, and makes adults leave, becuase of all the kids..vicious circle

    i also blame the devs for putting all emphasis on pvp, and slowly removing all comtent that doesn't require killing other players. that makes the mindset of the kiddies more hostile..kill/pwn/kill

    if slowly systematicly remove the non violent aspects, ie crafting entertaining, camping, exploring..all you are left with is the kiddies and the pwn all mentality



    ya but the Dev's want this to be a %100 fps i think...

    I remember Helios said a while back something like "what is fun about camping, standing around in and doing nothing"


    i agree its getting to the point where i feel stupid running around with my elder jedi robe... you know how many tells i get you elders and that F#ckin robe!!!

    im like whatever man /ignore it has become a pretty hostile place to play now days. loot mongers kill jackers nobody wants to group or help, blood wars start over loots. it was once a great game and had some really cool people in it. now i only know a few people and just kinda keep to myself....

    I think that pretty much sums up the state of the game these days.

    The other day I saw a couple of imperials and rebels swearing at each other with words the profanity filter wouldn't pick up... Makes you wonder what the next generation of people is goanna be like..

    We had some especially bad ones on Chim this morning, since their serves were down they all flock to chim and start swearing at elders, sexually harassing women players, and talking in "Uber leet" speach which I could hardly Understand. I filed atleast 30 tickets today, and my Ignore list is up to 50 now.

    Shame what a part of the playerbase has dwindled to..

    The community is worse than ever. Here are 2 of 37846587347534978578437856374 different times to prove it.

    1. I get like 4 wg engines and people say... If u dont sell me that engine for cheap im never going to be your friend. Of course i didn't sell to them

    2. Me and "My friend" were in dwb and sharing items back in forth of what we got. Well it was my turn and i got bl and he said, GIVe me that or im going to declare war on your guild and tell everyone u steal.

    This game has fallen down the drain and is full of little kids who all they say all day is teh/pwn/kill/h4x/cry/gg

    So shines a good deed in a weary world.

    You appear to be part of a swiftly dwindling minority in this game now, Obraik.

    Bleh community been rotten for years.Community in this game died in the first year.

    So the community is now 12 yr old immature loud mouth wanna be jedis.Replacing the 30+ yr old immature loud mouth jedi wanna be?

    Hmm at least the 12 yr olds are acting their age.The 30+ yrs are displaying how sad and no life they are by actually spamming forums  for months because of a game.

    Normal people with jobs and real life worries will find a new game to relax their mind not get obssessed about some game and company .

    Explain that to any rational adult and they will make the sign of  for sure.

    Last time I logged in I had mutiple kids following me around begging me to duel them . It was quite annoying . The worst part though , Was the language they used when I kindly asked them to go away .

    I am one of the RP how left the game when the roleplaying got killed off with the inclusion of jedis and moved on.

    I did not spam the forum for months or lead some lame SoE hating crusade.I moved on and found fun somewhere else.

    Take it as you wish but there is something not normal for people to spend months chasing some hate campaign against a gaming company because of a game.

    I dont think so. I am glad there is a hate campaign going on. Other game companies watch SOE. What happens if they see people just move on quietly or accept it quietly? They will use the same dirty tactics. "Hey look over there, the players arent even mad. We can do that too. Lets change our game like SOE did."

    But thanks to the hate campaign and the fact that players wont walk away quietly, other game companies can see SOE's tactics as foolhardy. "Hey look over there, the players went absolutely spare. We better not do that too."

    For some reason, I've always found the comunity to be part of perspective.

    I also found this extremly amusing.

    It doesn't matter which game you play, they are all the same. So it's always better to adjust personal perspective.

    I believe that smack talk in SWG is still limited almost entirely to pvp.

    yes, we are campaigning against soe! lol. I'd hardly call posting on a forum about a game we once loved or saying how much soe sucks "campaigning". Most of us have a real life job and the thing we USED to do to unwind and relax is gone, so now we do this :). there are a few posters in here who take it a bit too far, but most of us are just discussing something of interest, not picketing soe headquarters in austin with cardboard signs or organising marches against the evil of soe.

    The way some people carry on beating the dead horse i am suprised it has not gotten to that stage yet

    Just another rabid SoE hater but at least you don't make crank calls to the poor SoE emplyees.

    Perhaps it is your nature to be passive and/or submissive.  I, for one, choose to voice my anger and opinion.  Especially when I paid for a service for years and it is suddenly changed.

    Got more important things to voice my anger about taxes,war,prices,insurance loads of RL and actually important things to be angry about .

    But yeah if i was still living in my folk's house eating their food i am sure i let them worry about RL troubles and focus on SoE and their game for sure

    So obviously your priorities and other people's priorities are different.  Why hark on it when they are obviously as passionate about it as you seem to be with taxes, wars, etc.  Clearly I can't do squot to change a war or taxes so why worry about it?
  • CymdaiCymdai Member UncommonPosts: 1,043
    hercules = troll.

    Besides, anyone who's playing SWG sure as hell isn't involved in a war, nor is war one of their concerns. So let's not try and act like to much of an elitist there now hercules...you're certainly not fooling me chief.
