SWG Cheif Petty,


I'm not trying to be rude, so don't take this the wrong way please. Are you quitting because you don't enjoy the game anymore, or because it's tp hard to get jedi. If you don't enjoy the game with your current prof. what about holding a glowstick is going to make it more enjoyable?


I'm grinding toward jedi myself but that isn'tthe only reasoni bought the game or why i continue to play.I also have no problem with the change in conversionrate. I just hate that they did it underhanded. I'm glad it will be harder, jedi should be a hard grind.


Yes, I want tobe jedi but I also agree that there are way too many in the game. I would have no problem if SOE put a cap on the number of jedi on a server or make it as difficult as possible to attain. They may lose some customers whose only purpose in getting the game is to be jedi, but who wants to play a Star Wars game with nothing but jedi, set in a time when there were hardly an jedi.


Again i'm not trying to be rude or anything just stating my opinion.

Havy, quit being a troll. I don't expect anyone to care about what I write. It was merely my two cents worth. I didn't say it was I who was having the problem targeting a mark you twit.

I have found plenty of RPers on Bria, you just are too self absorbed with your head in that hole found on the other end of your body to spot them. Like I said... I find the caliber of player in jthe majority of edis rather lacking.

a97cobra - I'm basically stopping the game from a combination of both things you mention.


I've been playing off and on since the game went retail and I've done a lot, and seen a lot. I enjoyed the experience as best I could for this time and dabbled in pursuing Jedi for a while. I never really decided to concentrate on it until recently since I have a little more time now than I've had in the past.


I had decided a couple months back to make Jedi my number one goal. This was the one thing that was going to keep me playing to enjoy the game. Now I'll admit that the social aspect has also kept me involved. I have a pretty active guild and a good deal of friends. But to be honest, I have a lot of those same friends on AIM, Yahoo IM and mIRC so I'm starting to decide the monthly fee has to go. It's just not worth it to me anymore -the grind is tedious, dull and purely no fun whatsoever. I can only do so much 'site-seeing' or 'exploring' before I've seen all there is to see, and do all there is to do. I've started finishing up my badge collection but its just not fun anymore.


So to finish up and answer your question, I'm quitting because SWG is no longer fun to me in any apsect and its just not worth my time or money. I hope all of you that want Jedi can grind it out and enjoy it, I just won't be along for the ride with you.


And to once again say this, the combat xp change has no bearing on why I wrote this post. I decided already that I was going to cancel before I found out about it. It definitely doesn't help me to want to change my mind. The devs continue to let me down with changes that just don't make any sense. I see why they do them sometimes, but their decisions are very flawed and are usually a 'quick fix' not a 'correct fix.'

Hack Hack Hack Hack....... Im a Jedi. Thats all it takes, No real skill just a lot of dead Bols on Dant. I hate the whole concept of the grind. I want the game to be about skill and adventure How much fun do you get out of a grind. Lets do a poll....................... Guess thats not to many, ok maybe some of you enjoy the grinding but that is a very small group and you might need some help. I know evertone who bought this game thought at one time they wanted to wield a lightsaber and be a jedi ( In game ok guys) I did when i first joined about 10 months ago. I havent been pushing for jedi but I have been playing the game the way i feel the game should be played you just have fun. I finally got FS and thought well maybe its time for me to go jedi. i thought cool a new part of the game I jhave not played into. after about 3 weeks of grinding i am getting so bored with the game i just stopped and started to PVP. I really enjoy that and kill off jedi every now and them. they are still tough for the most part because i understand the game mech. I just think the game will lose its hold on me shortly because all they do is make it harder and harder to reach a goal. I know the jedi problem is there. Not my fault that they couldnt make a game right after 2 years and 2 add ons and a revamp of the combat. The only reason i play is that I love star wars if it were another game i would have quit. But how much longer do they think they can keep me interested in a game when all they do is add more time to completions of goals. maybe give the players other ways of increasing something in some way. diff. prof. that are like jedi but not jedi I mean why cant we have a new special class ?

Actually, I care what he thinks, as he makes some very valid points that the more mature players of the game feel imo.

Your use of the words "you lose" in the flame thread above rather sum up your immature/arguementative attitude to other players.






No, seriously, if these people would stop making posts about how they quit the FS grind, and how they're quitting the game, and whining over and over how the combat xp is 30:1... you realize how much cleaner these forums would be?

Crying isn't gonna help.

Thanks guys for the responses.. most of them

I honestly expected to get more of a negative reaction to what I posted and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I played a lot more of the game today and I'm trying my darndest to figure out some other stuff to do. I spent a good portion of my day going out site seeing to areas I'd never bothered to check out and it was fun. The relieve of stress to grind quick and go back to the village to convert the xp is very nice. I think now my current goal is to get every dang badge I can.

I just hope that I can continue to find stuff to do that's original and exciting...

Thx guys for the support, and to the one who was unhappy about me posting - it's cool. I know that these types of threads are no fun to read through but I hope you saw my point as to why I made it. I would think most people would like to express their opinions so that's why I did it.




OMG GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND LEARN HOW TO SPELL!



Learn real words. People use them. Link them to form sentances. Oh, yeah, and when writing, we use commas. Take for expample: Hey, stop being a troll and grow up! or: Oh my god, go back to school and learn to spell. Just a helpful tip





Apparently you're too thick to have read any of the other posts in the thread, right? Good job, go away, you lose.

Oh and, if you ever read any of my other posts, you'll see that I use the best grammar and spelling that I can, so hop off my jock, Mr.EngilshProfessor.

EDIT: If you couldn't figure out it was sarcasm by the all caps, then I'm feeling bad for you right now, really, I am.. your welfare concerns me greatly.

So then stop saying "I don't have any respect for such and such" if you don't expect people to care what you write. Again, no one cares that you think you're better than someone by going out of your way to accomplish nothing. Go away.

I've been playing since Dec 03, and unlocked glowey 5 days after village opened, and I got 6 boxes so far

I am a casual gamer (ya ya no kiding, only 6 boxes in a year??) ROGL

I find the grind hard, and do it a little, then do other things. I just need this game to stay up another 4 years

As for finding fun things, what I do is treasure hunts. Now those who do not believe in checking the boards for tips, etc. Please stop reading.....We can wait.....Gone?

Okay, check out the "Items and Loot" forums and the "Quests and Missions". And don't forget to search way back, to find some interesting things and rewards. Then go see if they can still be done. Get a shell fish harvester, a Sith Medalllion. I find it is a great way to find missed content and have fun.

I've had Guildies comment that they totally forgot about that mission or quest, and how lazy am I to wait almost 2 years to do it, and we sit around telling stories. Its just a great diversion.

To the original post:


Agree with you all the way..you can see when I started to play. I quit right after the Village came out (just came back 5 days ago to see what's up) and it became apparent that only people with 12+ hours a day to play would finish the FS grind in any reasonable time frame for owning/playing a game that doesn't get outdated by something newer and better (graphics and content).

What I keep in mind is that the whole process is created by SOE to suck your money month after month. Face it, if a lot of us had become Jedi within the first yearthe game came and played for another 3-6 months would you be here anymore? Or would you have started allocating your subscription monies to something newer and less grindy?


The bottom line is that it's not aboutwanting something handed to us (directed to the flamers), it's that we (casual playing old timers) have payed and played..and it gets old trying to attain something that is not attainable (in a game) if you have a real life that only allows 2-5 hours per day at best to play. In addition to ,that if you did attain it, well, you would spend an even more enormous amounts of time and RL money to even make it (Jedi) playable (rank/skill wise) as you kill endless amount of mobs with no GCW content.


SOE will find that their player base will continue shrivel as we grow tired (and a lot have) of paying for the un-attainable. Although my dumb-ass signed up month by month to just play againinbetween waiting for ananother MMORPG to take away the game void (having already played and dropped EQ2 and CoH) Not pursuing FS anymore though


CoV next....
