Being constructive doesn't seem to either. I fail to see when the last time we were given positive feedback on honest and straightforward threads.


Questions go unanswered. Visions of the games future are left to our imaginations. And friends leave.

Considering how much our profession has been nerfed over the last couple of months, I find it ludicrous that you would actually advocate more of the same. Or is it your opinion that the logical and "calm" posts of the pasts did anything for us recently other than not getting pearl drops fixed,losing the mabari belts, getting AI nerfed, getting cloak nerfed, and getting enhancer nerfed.. to name just a few of the things that have been done to our profession recently?






some ppl just like to bend over and take it up the ass

Come on _Cicero_, you know its not the regular Jedi posters doing this. Check their post history from them, they are doing it to the BH boards as well, and getting them worked up about it and blaming Jedi overall (like they alwasy do).


This is so cant win. Jedi blaming Jedi on the Jedi boards for this, and BH blaming Jedi on the BH boards for this. Jedi is such a scapegoat for people's ignorance.

Beyond the past day, look at my post history. I post in here mostly constructive (at least in my opinion). Today has just been a cascade of comedy. But in all seriousness, you guys are looking through rose tinted glasses.


Or to coin a phrase...


You can't see the forest for the trees.

yes our profession has had it hard, but DO ANY OF YOU THINK THIS TIGGS/GARVA HATE FEST will get anything done for us any time soon. they might say SC**w them they can wait. atleast our regular whinning was not met with such backlash. yes i Read both Tiggs and Garva's Post and I agree that threats of banns and suspensions were not a positive way to deal with it. I also agree that hundreds of us will probably get suspended or banned over this because we have all turned into children both us and the DEVS. and now its a matter of who is tougher. well they have the PWNAGE here the your banned I win Button. there goes all your hard work. is it worth that, there were better ways to handle this.


DEVS you should have done business as usual and deleted the No confidence thread without comment. we are used to that.

And Tiggs No offense but instead of posting another threat you should have shut the boards down for the night. I have never seen the forum this bad


Players I can understand the initial outburst but it has gotten out of control, you could have contacted SOE or LA directly. or voted your displeasure by cancelling.


I respect all you opinions and will not flame any of your for it

I'm not going to deny that. But further follow their posts if you care to. Most were constructive at one point. They've lost hope and find most entertainment lies in pvf (for non-shadowfirians thats player vs forums). They've found ways to entertain themselves with stupid forum groups (o' rly / ya' rly ... no wai / ya wai ... and some gimpy oss created group). And its honestly no harm/no foul.


But when the changes came down the pipe most of us talked about them in game and hated them. Several of us have given feedback and in typical dev fashion, they've ignored us (along with everyone else posting on the subjects). And in the interrum we've taken to having fun in the only fashion left.


Why would we enjoy a game that is changing daily? How can we when there is no clear vision of the future, let alone tomorrow?


If you want to get serious, lets do it. But I will not sit here and bs with someone that is more than likely a fan of limited risk and full reward. If I've stereotyped you, I appologize, but 90% of all jedi today want things given to them on a silver platter. Most of these shadowfire peps posting are old school. We've done virtually all of it. And we're in playing together. That is where our fun comes from and that is why its spilled over to here (and there...and everywhere).

didn't you read Garva's post? we're not allowed to whine




don't whine about people whining.






courtesy ofdictionary.com



fo·rumPronunciation Key(fôrm, fr-)
n. pl. fo·rums, also fo·ra (fôr, fr)





    1. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business. Ok, I'll admit this one doesn't really apply here, but this was the first definition.

    2. A public meeting place for open discussion. This sounds good, in these forums we often talk about what we agree with and disagree with, often people don't feel they need to contribute further and express their agreement through a /sign.

    3. A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper or a radio or television program. This is where we find the line they claim as whining, if you look up whine on thesaurus.com you will see complaint... you will also see beef, but that's not important. The point being Tiggs claims to pass on concerns to the development team, this would include complaints by the community, and therefore things we "whine" about. So in order for Tiggs to do her job as she puts it herself, we must whine.

  1. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation. I wouldn't presume to call anyone here an expert. But if you're old enough to type a message, you're old enough to have an opinion. Express it.

  2. A court of law; a tribunal. I think this would be a good point to bring up the "flaming" and verbal assalts on the development team and community relations officials. I do agree there is a lack of communication at times, especially during trying hours. I also understand Tigg's point that they are gathering information for the development team during this time. As I'm sure since it's their whole job to relate with the community, the development team would not possibly have the time to come read all these forums. I believe SOE would do well to increase its staff and have someone relay the development teams information back to the community, since we do make Tiggs job hard enough with all the comments we give for her to relay to them. But as it stands now, this appears to be their tribunal, and according to the dictionary, this is a place for such commentary.

I have all the respect in the world for the people with red names, they put up with a lot of crap from a community they're trying to serve. And this stuff surely doesn't make their jobs easier. I'm grateful for their work, they have provided me with a game experience unlike any I've ever had before, there have been trying times, but I still play and so do all of you atm. there's something greater than content that keeps us here, and I for one have no intention of going anywhere.

I think saying 90% of jedi today is not accurate at all. There are far more that just lost hope in the dev community to even post anymore. In any case the same can be said about any profession now using forum logistical numbers.


I was once constructive and idealistic, I lost it all when I saw over the past year plus all great ideas ignored and flushed.

I think one of he reason most old schoolers still play because they hope that SWG will rise up out of the pit the devs have kicked it into. That's one of the reasons why I hang around. Sadly, it seems that they have no interest in doing so.

Then we're really not that different. There are days I sit in game with these people that are trolling and we just shoot the shiz about old times. Hell, I lost track of the time the other night with alena, just talking about some of the good times.


I think you'd relate to this. This game has no future. Why? Because there doesn't seem to be one planned. There is absolutely nothing preventing sony from just talking to us on a lvl we can relate to. They hide behind legalese and shallow promises. The worst thing (in my opinion) they did was fire/get rid of callandryl (or whatever his name was). He was a straight shooter and during his brief time here, he won me back.


These guys? poodoo.

I we think all of us (playerbase and SOE staff alike) should follow Garvas advice and step away from the computer and while we are away we should think long and hard about how to move forward from this situation.

I can totally agree with that. It it frustrating how they treat the game now. But those people trolling seriously damaged this much more. Your going to see ten times the hate now all around from everyone pointing the finger at Jedi, when in reality it was just a few disgruntled players lashing out.

Not like it matter though. Jedi will always be the scapegoat whether they did troll or not.
