I can't believe that anyone who knows what is happening behind the scenes is honestly going to say that the new system is good for the game.

If you haven't gotten the clue, they dumbed it down for console play. And THAT is the only reason.

You want to REALLY know what the Devs think of the game? Check out this quote from Jeff Freeman, who is or wasan SWGDeveloper and used to post more regularly on DevTracker.

Look at the bottom remark from Jeff on the comments. (I must assume in context it is Jeff Freeman talking since he always posts as "Jeff") And I quote:

I'll say that I'm not into the new changes at all. I liked the complexity that SWG provided.. it was (emphasis on was) a game like no other. I'm ok with the idea of change however. There are a multitude of reasons that I'm not privy to that a game like SWG does change. As a programmer of 13 years, I am disghusted with the lack of BA/QA and CMM that SWG exibits. In over a year of playing, my interest in the game has slowly declined due to a few things. Mainly, bug reports from TC being ignored, faulty QA allowing one patch to break other game mechanics, etc... My hope with this NGE is that the players who test (for free I might add) on TC be listened to, and that this is not just another hurried to production release. That being said, my opinions are probably fairly useless at this point, as I'm more interested in stable games. I wish you the best in your endeavors.

So what does this all tell you?

SOE has sold out the base. It sold out the vets and apparently frustrated its own Development Team. And that is why my account ends next month and probably will not be renewed.

FYI, it wouldnt surprise me if half of the "players" saying how great the CU2 is are really Developers posting on other names . . .

That post isn't from the same Jeff. You should be able to get that from reading the original message and that posting.
