To also build upon Braven's post about how excruciating painful it is not to talk freely about the CU sandbox details...just remember, all the information is just...well simply put, too massive to even hope to talk about without having the copies on hand, hence even if there was no NDA, it would still be very very hard to talk about it.
THANK YOU...welcome to my world...I've had to live with not "spilling" any info since August...It sucks big time...and I agree about over-posting JTL...
I have nothing against JTL...I would just like to see something else be a Friday Feature for a week or two...marketing is one thing, but overkill is another...For some the JTL posts are fun, but for many others it's only creating JTL resentment...
I think all our Sandbox testers would agree that while there are some CU info that needs to stay secure for now (because it really needs to be reviewed when you understand the direction of the CU), there is also info that COULD be shared...some generalities...
Personally I wish (and have actively encouraged) the Devs would post they Gameplan and goals...basically take TH's previous CU post and Expand further on that information to include their ultimate goals for the game...They don't as much have to say HOW they are going to accomplish those goals, but by providing what the plan is many people will have a better understanding WHY it's had to take as long as it has...People will also understand why certain things had to come first like the Jedi Revamp and the upcoming Loot Revamp...
It's all very frustrating...

I can understand how you feel and it is true that I am being a quiter.
I just have had zero fun for the last few months in game - I log in and just look at the screen thinking 'what to do, go farm faction? look for threads for a rug?' and then just say ahh forget it and log off and go do something else.
It is not an issue of do I have faith in you or Garvin or any of the guys in the SB - I think all of you are top notch.
It is an issue I have with SOE. I'm sorry but I have zero faith in them.
Maybe SOE has learned from their past mistakes, maybe they learned how to mess a game up and now they know what NOT to do, maybe.
I know that there are a lot of great players working on this (not just commando's but from other profs) and they all want to see this game work but why should I (and everyone else) sit around for months waiting to get into BETA for a game we are paying for?
SOE may turn this game around, this may become the best MMORPG ever and I may have to come back, tail between legs and eat a lot of crow - time will tell.
If this day comes I will come back. I will keep reading posts and posting till the 26th (when they cut me off).

Garvin -
Setting goals is fine. Let the devs come here and state their goals. Hoo-rah
But there is a difference in setting goals, and actually outlining a plan to obtain them. With forums being what they are, these guys HAVE to be in a constant state of damage control. Granted, they cannot address EVERY rampant speculation there is. You dont have to give me a timeframe. I dont want a timeframe, because ultimately, that will cause people to cancel their subscriptions. I dont want to lose the people I enjoy playing the game with, and SOE doesnt want to lose the revenue.
The biggest thing right now, is credibility. Integrity. Honesty.
They have none.
And sadly, as you well now know (and this is an inside thing between Garv and I - so dont even ask), some of the people that were picked lack credibility. Integrity. Honesty.
And balancing Jedi first, was a mistake. I can see the reasoning they had behind it (as a measuring stick by which all professions should be judged), but they have SEVERELY handicapped the profession both in PvE and PvP. Maybe their thinking was that they could hamper the progress of Jedi so that when the CU hits, they wouldnt have a ton of demi-gods running around. But eventually, that is what they will have anyway.

Lol...eek I think I've just taken my first step into a much larger world! 
Yeah, it sucks...
Also...on SOE's credibility...this is the only sony game i would ever play/buy...since its partnered with Lucasarts...I never did like sony, and never will. But remember...WE have credibility...the devs are actually pretty sincere that they want the CU to work, so I got a pretty good hunch they'll actually have most or nearly all the bugs worked out of it in beta before it debuts on live...unlike their previous Betas (JTL launched more smoothly, but there were still some bad glitches...but nothing truely gamebreaking...many SOE's learned? Maybe the CU publish will be the least buggy of them all?)
Even if you loose faith in SOE, don't loose faith in us....*Commando Wink as the Commando Team holds the devs at gunpoint, forcing them to code faster like monkies on typewriters!!*

Please question my Credibility. Question my Integity. Question my HONESTY!
I've made mistakes. But if you don't find all of my dd214 complete, that's because there is certain things I can't ever speak of. My record is controlled by the US Navy, and ask the FBI about that.
Sorry I have a "tainted" past, but that should not be held against me here with you guys. I led my guys safely, achieved our directives, and became what I am now. I have had a few problems with being "outspoken" in some situations. But here....I care about the Commando community.
The qualities of Credibility, Integrity, and Honesty are sacred to me. As a soldier, I may have semi-violated these values, BUT it was all for my men. I hold these values in the highest reguard. Say what you will, but my boys got home damnit!
I will mail you my wings. I will mail you a full set of medals and ribbons if you question me SIR!
If I don't meet the expectations of the Commando community, I will gladly endorse someone else and step down right now.

And as an aside, I dont give a rats ass if you fight with a pen, or a gun.
Honesty, integrity, and credibility have nothing do with whether you wear a suit, or a uniform.
