Image Designer Archive

Here's the really funny irony of the situation and a shining example of "sometimes it's better to leave things alone as your fix may only hurt and serve no help whatsoever..."

1. Now the only people breezing through ID are people using 3rd party mouse-clicking applications. Legal users are penalized with having to spend hours at the keyboard due to addition of timers and removal of legal, macro-able ID commands.

2. ID's that *can* perform Stat Migrations turn off their titles, hide, or outright refuse requests. Great move there as well. Throw a community-critical function into the hands of a group that not only doesn't want to do it, but now hates the attention/harrassment that came with it. Brilliance! Example: I saw an ID at coronet SP waiting on the shuttle one night (very late). I commented "you're a brave person leaving your title on." They IMMEDIATELY changed from "Master Image Designer" to "Novice Brawler" and /tell'ed me "thanks, I'd forgotten to take it down, whew!" ROFLMAO, is THIS what the geniuses envisioned, cause that's what's actually happened...

So, someone remind me how the ID patch helped? Legal players now have more suffering, only cheaters with 3rd party programs breeze through to Master ID (only to still turn around and drop it), and now folks can't get their stats migrated without annoying the hell out of what few ID's turn their titles on to be found! Wow, now THERE'S some GREAT changes to help the community for sure... Remind these guys not to go into civil arcitecture or anything else that involves the public or customers when SWG dies it's early death at this rate...very displeased at the short-sightedness of the nerf-bat wielding here, folks.

#1 Reason: Introduction of and overpopulation of Jedi that belong in KOTOR2 or a seperate server.
#2 Reason: Failure by SOE to fix long-existing problems and failure to generate any rich, meaningful, story-driven and GCW-affecting content while consistantly lying to the community in poorly handled communications.
