Ok i guess im confused, about this game everytime i turn around instead of staying on top of the problems we are delt more, ok after months of yelling the warping of bikes is gone, for the most part, but still for past month, doing missions we have to deal with creatures warping 100 meters away with our xp, last time i checked those creatures couldnt fly, but the can now....pvp has turned to crap, cause now its just DOT and run, cause of all the verfing of things except whats needed , and all the people that got jacked on the quest in the village, yet we pick one thing and get another, but cause the system screwed up, we have to do it anyway.... im just trying to remeber .. didnt we buy this game to have fun, i havent had any in a long time. everything is just all messed up, and now we have JTL to look forward to... omg i hate to see the problems, i guess its off to WOW.... oh and yeah i sent ticketts in alot of them about the wrong quest, i picked, defend, and got crafting........well everyone came back like always, sorry... or sorry you picked the wrong one... I DID NOT PICK THE WRONG ONE...i read it and picked the right one.,.. but i guess it dont mater for the 50 of us sitting in the city really ticked off about this... i love this game, i like the hole concept of it, and i like what they have planed for it, but come on i been here a year now, and lets focus on the problems at hand before giving us 200 more.... we are here for the same reason TO HAVE FUN........................

You are correct, we are here to have fun and I agree with your point, I am considering moving over to WOW soon, I'm quite jacked off with this game atm, It seems they add 50 good points and spoil it all with a really bad nerf. I'm here to have fun, and at the moment, i'm not having fun with the game, there's not much to do anymore, and it seems that it's my fault that i'm not having fun, the FS quests as an example, I chose whip, I don't want the survival line, but SOE would have me believe that it was my choice that lent me to that future, well, it'snot my fault, that's the point, it's SOE's fault I chose whip, not due tolack of research on my part, but SOE doing a poor job.

I'm close to quiting this game, the negative points are starting to outway the positive points, and do SOE care? I very much doubt it.From another point of view, I read hundreds of posts on these forums and the majority of them are negative towards SOE, and here I am, trying to make a difference, I've posted numerous posts about this and that regarding bad things that they have done to the game that needs changing and all in all, after all my effort, the only conclusion I can come to is that the devs make the game for themselves, not the people who play it.

The starport waiting times is a classic example, they could have just made it 5 minutes on all of them, instead, they made local ports 5 mins and left the starports, then, it took them like 2 months to change the starport times to 5 minutes, this is just beurocracy of the highest order, if it takes this long for the devs to make such a simple and obviously good change, what chance do we have for them to correct all the other problems.

You did not tell us about the Nerf to making some caves a 24 hour spawn time, i'm actually quite disgusted about this, I am not happy that content has been taken away from the game that I play. I pay for a gamefor a game for Me to play, not the friggin devs. The point has been blurred in this game, it should be reminded to the devs that We pay to play the game and taking content away from us by adding 24 hour spawn rates is not acceptable, there are better ways to stop somthing ruining the games economy, like making it tough to complete, then, effort is required to complete it and a good payout is rewarded.

I'm actually appauled by the way the FS quests have been made, I have selected Whip, now I'm stuck with it, I have absolutely nodesire or need for the survival branch.

0/10 for this latest publish SOE.

Do the devs care? DTF!!!

SOE - S*** Online Entertainment.

Actually you pay for server time not to play the game. You paid $50 when you bought the CD to play the game but the $15 a month is for the server to be up 22hours out of the day. I think the FS quests are perfect do whip for this phase and when the new phase comes around do the next its not that hard.

Edit: After reading your other post you are too new to complain about Starport waiting ok. Us "old timers" waited a whole year to get the starports put to 5 min so dont look a gift horse in the mouth. Ever try doing Bounty Hunter when it took you 30min each mission in starport waits? Trust me IT SUCKED!!!!! Did we complain? yeah but noone quit over it we just accepted it.

People need to learn that a game this large and complex will have bugs yes some of them should have been fixed sometime ago but theres nothing I see on a dailybasis is gamebreaking. OK other than that darn smuggler tools not working in crates (I dropped smuggler because of it).

The change to the font used for chat and object to introduce a shadow is causing problems for myself with inducing vision problems which are resulting in migraines. Please either turn it off or provide an option to turn off the shadows. The previous font up until this patch was much more eye friendly.

This is so true!! The new txt is horrid and takes the focus away from where it should be. It would be very nice if there is implemented an option to turn it of in next patch.

Other than that i enjoy the game very much.
