Serioulsy. I read the post from the dev about the toilet in the middle of the living room and it reminded me of my job as a Health Club Manager. We had a leak in the main studio and my boss told me to well, lie to the customers by saying we were unable to locate the sorce of the leak. It basically came down to my MD not wanting to fork out the $$$ for the repairs since his master plan was to sell it in a years time. I took the flack.


In that time, I took the flack from the members while he worried about what he called CHURN. CHURN is members left vs members gained. If there were more members left than gained, I would be bollocked big time, even though the reason most of them left was becase of the leaks in the studio that tosser didnt want to fix


SO dont blame the devs, they do what they are told to do.

i honestly think that they arent really told what to do, i mean i doubt lucas arts sends them emails to try and make the game worse, i think they just have there meetings, and they try and plan in advance for lets just say 6 months, so they say okay were do we start? well if the start is something ppl will hate and they know it wont be well received, but its part of the plan, then its done


i just wish they would fill us in on some future plans, instead of the usual "We cant comment on that"

here is that quote I was talking about made by a dev



Folks like me do not get to make those kind of calls. People who script/code arevery similar toplumbers. If the bosses wantsus to put a toilet in the center of the living room, we redirect the pipes, dig a hole and install that toilet in the center of the living room. I may be able to put one of those cakes in it that turns the water blue, but that toilet is going in the center of the living room.

I agree Devs do what they are told ... The main problem is The gamer doesnt have anything to say on the game and the way its been going for the last year or so is just plain hard to understand... all the wrong moves from a compagnie like SOE ... it should never be this way... But it is ... If SOE listened to its customer base they wouldnt be about to shut this game down in about a year or 2 at this rate... The CHURN like your calling it will be going down the window after ToOW... no more movies no more free publicity .... this game will never really die cauz of us diehard SW fans ... but we will be the only ones staying around...

i dont know about you but as a dev you only make what they tell you to make ... if they say oh we have a movie release coming may 19th and we want an expansion for it in 4 weeks well guess what ... you get bugs all over ... then oh we got a DVD release on 1st november ... we need another expansion ... well boss im not even done getting rid of the bugs from the first expansion ... forget it gotta be ready for the DVD release right ... well when that happens you get a game like SWG who really needs to just stop putting new things out and just fixing the gazillions of bugs in it ...
