I don't think people realise how hard their jobs are. If you had ANY idea, I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining.
Yes, the game is bugged. I'm not happy either. Complaining about it on the forums is not going to solve the issue. It's not going to get you a free month. It's not going to get you "free" xp.
Kudos to the devs for all the work they've put into this fine game.
Some of us do realize how tough their jobs are. Also some of us played at launch, and we still see the same bugs we saw on day one, hour one, before the server crashed.
Not true... the Jedi managed to get 2 Million XP out of whining.
Please tell me you're being sarcastic. The work you speak of is going into JTL, not SWG. Personally, this new expansion seems like a glorified space sim, that you pay for monthly. People have been beta testing it for what? 2 Months? 3 Months? If you look around the forums... they're already getting bored. Even the huge proponents of the expansion.
What you need to understand here is that the game is over a year old. The Devs have promised bug fixes, and balances from day one, and about 3/4ths of them have not happened. I played for 3 months from launch, got bored, and fed up. I quit. I started up again about 3 weeks ago, after a friend gave me this account. I still see a lot of the same things I saw when I played before, with a small amount of 'band aid' content to keep me busy. Sure, I could go PvP constantly... but I run around overt for 2 hours. My buffs are going to die on me, and I haven't found a fight yet, so I go to the recruiter, and undeclare. I wait that last hour, spending close to 50k just in travel, looking for a fight, and get nothing. You may say this is not the Devs fault... well, it is. They are the ones who created the system in which nobody wants to PvP. Therefore, they are primarily at fault for it. So I play for 3 hours, spend 30k+ on buffs, and 50k+ on travel. 70k Credits... and 3 boring hours. I could have gone, and camped a high loot area... oh wait... no, I couldn't have, they're all bugged, and don't respawn. What am I to do all day while playing this game? Run solo missions? Sure, I could do that, and I often end up doing so... but that gets really, really boring, and terribly monotonous. We each pay 15 bucks a month to have a working game, and the game is not working. How are we the bad guys for criticizing the game?

I have never seen a game bugged as much as SWG, EQ1 didn't have that much bug and when they fixed a bug it didn't break anything else. Now, I would like to see some professions getting fixed like let's say ID. We can't ID 50% of the time because of the server not updating, then you wonder why there's soo few ID around.
