Hello, I am writing this post in the hopes that we as a community can come to a

compromise with the CU and ROTW.

In writing on other boards, it has become apparent to me, that new ideas to improve the game

in a very general sense (i.e. pod racing, etc. etc.) cannot be debated until the game is in

balance; as people are still very much focused on the issues at hand (I have my own issues

with the new changes esp. w/ SW; but in the interests of being impartial, my input is not

needed in this thread).

So, I humbly submit a thread in which suggestions can be made to correct

the main issues these professions have (the more specific the better), while compromising

with the CU/ROTW systems respectively. (Granted, if you like the old way, then any

concession may be hard to make. However, these changes are here and more than

likely; here to stay.)

The focus is to take all these suggestions, with as many specifics as possible, and vote on

them in each individual forum. (one for Doc, one for BH, SW, CH etc.)At the end of a certain

period, (the time it takes to get an adequate response that represents that portion of the

community's votes overall) the predominant ideas will be pooled together into one concise document,

as a community suggestion to the Devs of a productive and cooperative nature. (Remember:

these ideas should work as a compromise or an adjunct to the CU/ROTW)

Please debate these issues and your ideas with each other and question the viability of the

solutions posted. (Try not to be too critical though ) So what I am asking for is a

grand debate. One in which everyone's opinion is respected but held to examination in

an impartial light.

You see, we the players, play the game everyday and thus know what effects us in a way

that is non-condusive to having a good time within SWG. No matter how much a company spends on

research they cannot gain our perspective- in game. This is why I need your help.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(To the questions: "Well, hasn't this been done before?" or "Isn't that why people have

been posting in the forums?")

(To answer: To my knowledge, not with a positive and cooperative spirit with relation to

the CU and ROTW. Also, not one that offers suggestions for fixes that the

community by and large agrees upon.

As for why the posts may or may not be as effective as this format:

It is difficult for anyone to get a grasp on the sentiments expressed in

1000s of emails, posts, phone calls etc. It is impossible. Look for yourselves and try to

decipher the overall picture for the majority's wants. The time it takes is baffling.

If we can get the majority's wants all within one document- with constuctive solutions

our chances are more than fair we will see change.) (Note: and it doesn't have to be

dramatic change, just slight tweaks and fixes can make a world of difference.))

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, in summation, please post your ideas here with rationales of how they can be implemented

within SWG; presently. If the correspondants have similar threads or if anyone has extra

documentation related to this please copy and paste the information here.

Then I will sit down and put it into a rough draft to vote upon.

Thanks for your time,

Matt
