Adding a counter to a previously uncounterable technique is surely a death spiral. Well... a death spiral for the Jedi who rely almost exclusively onCloak.

The problem is (for us), SOE is not concerned with running a good game.


They are concerned with running a business (and making $$$) and therefore are using an entirely different set of rules when making descicions regarding SWG.


I think it's pretty obvious by now, that are using the old "bait and switch" method, have been using it since day one, and will use it until the last player cancels, before moving on to thier next money making venture.


Besides, this article was written for, and by a more "paper and pencil" type of game developer, whose players tend to be more mature.


SOE is well aware that a majority of thier players are insta-grats, and don't really expect you to play for more than a year anyway.


It is a great article, but defintely in conflict with SOE's long term business strategy regarding thier products, and thier customers, on a whole.

I think we were able to “tell” better stories, when we had player interdependency, and multiple, variable classes.

It doesn't matter if it was written for "paper and pencil" which it was not, it still applies to this game.

Good read. I doubt any of the developers will give it any notice as they need to meet the needs of so few players. As it stands now many of us have alternate characters running around as BH so the loot can be had. It is just a matter of time before that loot table is changed and they create another FOTM class. Apparently, they are thinking of revamping ranger to do some alpha class stuff. The one track mindset they go forward with rewriting stuff appears to involve the whole if not most of the coders. I guess you can attribute that to their management style, respond by crisis. Just my thoughts.
