I'd like to thank everyone here for their passion for our professions. Keep up the good work. Unfortunately, due to the evergrowing resentment of many players towards Entertainers, the rampant AFK and buffbot problems, and general apathy from the Devs, I'm starting to hate this game, and Star Wars in general.
I love Star Wars. I can remember sitting in the back of my parents' Ford LTD station wagon, watching Star Wars at the drive in. Man, what an impact on a kid. Since then, I've never been able to look at an empty wrapping paper tube without picking it up and whapping my brother with it, while making lightsaber sounds. I can't look at a scruffy dog without thinking, 'Heheh, ewok on a leash'.
When I had my first job, back in high school, I saved up enough cash to buy my first VCR. But I couldn't just buy the VCR, I had to save enough cash to buy it AND the Star Wars trilogy. I wore those tapes out, watching them over and over. I had to get a laserdisk player, so I could watch the trilogy digitally. A stereo, so I could crank it all up and rattle the windows, relish in the scream of TIE fighters.
I've read most of the books that have come out. I've laughed (yubyub commander), I've cheered, I've cried (when Chewbacca died). I've lost myself in this wonderful fantasy to escape the pressures of the real world, and tried to bring aspects of it back with me to better myself (letting go of anger, being at peace).
When I first got word of this game, I eagerly kept checking the boards, kept up on all the behind the scenes info. As a gamer and a Star Wars fan, this game seemed like the ultimate in what I was looking for. And for a while, it was. Up until the hologrind, I loved this game. I played, I adventured, I performed, I had fun, I helped those who didn't know too much about Star Wars learn what was going on.
But now, I find myself hating this game. It's supposed to be fun, right? I've had to take breaks from the game to cool off, to center myself, before joining back in hoping that the game would have improved. It's only gotten steadily worse.
Even worse, I've found myself hating Star Wars. The bad taste this game is leaving in my mouth is not only affecting the game, but also killing my passion for the wonderful universe George Lucas shared with us. I can't let this happen. I cannot let Developer mistakes, indifference, and outright hostility ruin it for me.
I bid you all a fond farewell. I'll probably keep lurking in here from time to time, in the hopes things will get better. Until then, keep up the fight. They've sucked all the fight out of me.

Hmmm, hit reply and then I saw a blank message was posted. * Scratches his head and ponders the universe for a moment*
Mo'Ste,
I too have battled the demons that are SWG burnout, but my friends have helped me to stay the course. I want to see SWG become the greatest gameever made, and it still holds that potential. Right now, as if this hasn't been said a million times, we just have to continue to be patient. The gameWILL change.
I am sorry to see you go, and I hope that you willreturn again soon. I tend to be a pretty passionate person and I sometimes do and say things that I later regret. It would be nice ifyou were to change your mind and stay. But as I said above, I understand 100% where you are coming from.
If you don't return, then I wish you and yours well in your journeys thru life. I wish much happiness and prosperity upon you......
And may the force be with you, always.

Good luck, Mo'Ste. Yes, games are supposed to be fun, and if you're not having fun, it's time for a break. Maybe you'll come back and find a better game then. In the meantime, may the Force be with you.

Two of the sadder ones for me lately...Kwee and Mo'Ste. I don't know them well in-game, but their presence on the forums has been a great one and I know I'll miss them.
Good luck in whatever you choose to do with your time from now on, Mo'Ste. It's been a good run, and I'm glad you chose to spend time with the likes of us. 
Perhaps someday, you'll be able to take a look at these forums and see enough of a positive change to come back.

Mo'ste,
Sorry to see you go. However ultimately fun is what YOU make it. If it becomes more of an effort then its worth to make something fun, it is time to move on. Hopefully the game gets better sooner then later. If so, see you then. If not, it was great getting the chance to know you. You were on of the individuals who made my visit to Tempest worthwhile and made me feel welcome coming back. Thanks for everything,

Mo,
I think you're the last of the master musicians that I 'grew up' with on Tempest. I've gotten to know a few newer ones, but you were the last one around who shared in my teaching, the others having moved on to different things in game or out. I'd be sad even if I only knew you from the forums, but sharing the server makes it even more personal. I've gotten to share many of the troubles you've seen, and several joys, gotten to know many of the same people, good and bad. Even though you often stayed over on Dantooine, and I in Theed, I always knew I could count on finding you in the ATK channel . I'm very glad that we recently did see more of each other in game, with the nalartub/tubargon, and spending some time over in Union.
I'm sad to see you go, bud, but like the others, I fully understand. I very much hope you'll find your way back someday, and that it will be because it's worth coming back to.

/wave I hope you find a better Star Wars game. I would try JK3 or Star Wars Battlefront 
And remember, the ewok on a leash will be with you....I mean, the force will be with you, always.

If you look very well in every outskirt of the galaxy (in cantina's and stuff) youll find some roleplayers who still can keep this game alot fun. And even non-solo hunts can be very funny, if you take the patience to look around you'll be able to play this game as it was meant to.
The problem is all the grinders that just want to be jedi and then whine because they get hunted... ah well i dont like those guys.
