Thread: IGN asks SOE some questions Link inside
IGNPC: Maybe I'm just cynical but the suspicion seems to be that you have a big movie and an expansion coming out soon. It's natural for people to wonder if there's a relationship between those.
Dallas Dickinson: We know that the combat upgrade is something that is really controversial. It's causing both players and us a whole lot pain right now. My response to that, from the opposite of cynical, is, "Do you think we'd be crazy enough to do something that has a potentially negative impact right in front of a huge cash cow?" We're doing something that we think is right for the game at the right time, because this is the way forward for the game. I'd love know how we're trying to capitalize in a cynical way by making this change right now.

Dallas Dickinson: We know that the combat upgrade is something that is really controversial. It's causing both players and us a whole lot pain right now but we've made it painfully clear that we dont give a **edit** about what our players think, especially the vets. My response to that, from the opposite of cynical, is, "Do you think we'd be crazy enough to do something that has a potentially negative impact right in front of a huge cash cow?" As long as we make a lot of money right now who **edit**ing cares what happens to the game in the long run. Most of these **edit**tards will play no matter how bad we screw up the **edit**ing game. We're doing something that we think is right for the game at the right time in order for us to make a lot of money, because this is the way forward for the game lol, yea if you want to run it into the ground, ruin jedi and kill pvp. I'd love know how we're trying to capitalize in a cynical way by making this change right now go ahead and say whatever you want, its not like we'll listen anyway.

Can I answer this one ?
Allow me.
They aren't crazy enough, but they certainly are dumb enough.
Heh. Took the words right out of my mouth... er, keyboard.
