How can the CU be going live when there's 100's and 100's of game stopping bugs and inbalances still in the CU? What the hell is going on?
Technically the devs speak to us through correspondents...but the communication doesn't really exist
The reason that CU is live now, instead of "when it is ready" ...
Is that we are helping to GET it ready.
SOE has forced us all ... again ... into a "pay to play" Beta.
They want CU to be ready before the ROTW. Many new players will come in when they buy it. And they want then to stay.
The "Testing" for the CU is still in progress. It is just going to be faster now, because many more people (ALL of us) are now helping to test it
-even if we don't want to.
They know that many people will quit over this. But those (for the most part) are the same people that would have quit anyways, in a couple of weeks.
And, besides, those people are not welcome by SOE.
Trouble makers; all of them. And a bad influence on the larger player-base.
[Thus - bad for business]
In a way, the CU has a secondary purpose, in that it is helping to "weed out" the sowers of discontent.
[No matter if their points were valid or not]
But many of those malcontents are still going to stick around, under the misguided notion that SOE might be verbally beaten into "Caring" about them [HA!; this is a business, not a Social movement. Get over it].
And many others still plan to just let their accounts "expire". But that means they too are forced into testing CU "if" CU can go live before those accounts are due to end.
-And it has.
By springing this on us, they will get even more feedback, even sooner.
This allows for a greater chance to have the best possible end-product for the ROTW.
-Pure Evil Genius
I am proud to be fleeced by such a skilled barber of sheep.
Ewe should be too.

The only way SOE can talk to us is by CSR. Gaming Companies place a job called CSR (Customer Service Rep.) which handles the communications between players and the company so that devs dont have to talk to us lol.
Basicly if you want to talk to the people making the game....best way is to walk down to their main building and run pass secuirty and into the meeting room or development office lol because if you hope to get answers from csr about gaming problems aka combat revamp.....dont waste your breathe or time...just move along.
