I was at war Thursday night, I fought a long, hard battle. Over 2 hours where I didn't get a break. Spawn, after spawn after spawn came at me. In the end, they put the run to me even though I still had an hour left on my buff. I got no loot, no real creds (50K) not enough to keep the bad habits of a Master and I had fun.
I didn't die, I was given enough room to keep up and do stim recovery, I was able to evade when things looked grim, I was not pampered, they hounded me but the difficulty was fair and the battle heated. If you have heard me whine, tonight I won't be doing it.
Thanks, that was a blast.

If you had a blast, you can count on it being nerfed. I'm not being humorous, everything that I've enjoyed and had a blast with, has been nerfed. While they're still balancing it, you'll proly find that what you describe above is not intended...

Maybe but I have been watching this place and it was rather boring. It evolved to the level it is at now so I think they are tweaking in that direction.
There are occasions where development can seem to be a real killjoy for sure but somehow I am not willing to believe number one goal is to destroy playability. Maybe I should have been a mechanic because to me development shoud be all about server burn, leave the rest up to concept artists.

Of course its not a "goal," but it is mismanagement and some diverse design goals that do not lend themselves to fun play, except in the eyes of the design leads - which unfortunately for us means that we are stuck with the only Star Wars MMORPG that happens to be what they want to build rather than what we want to play.
I neither asked for, nor enjoyed, the notable stand-outs such as holo-grinding, jedi tree revamps, FRS, negative XP, or this whole fiasco of a New SWG game revamp. Go figure.
