How about, Tiggs, you stand up and show us your metal.
I challenge you to come here and answer the real questions your community would like to see answered. I lay the gauntlett down. Live up to your title and prove yourself to be a real Director of Community Relations, rather than the semi-skimmed diet Fluff poster some of us believe you to be.
Okay Tiggs
Many players feel marginalised by the direction the game has taken over the last few months. These fans are largely Original Trilogy fans who tend to migrate towards the more RP professions - Smuggler, Ranger, Squal Leader- despite not necessarily being heavy RP players. These players reject the notion of the Jedi grind as the centerpiece of the game, and favour a more canon verison of the game, with the Galactic Civil War being the centerpiece, as in the OT movies. These players believe they and their professions are being neglected by the Development Team and by the Community Relations Team, with the Jedi grind and Prequel-orientated content have the main focus, as is indicated by the ROTW and TOW expansions. These players, many of them veterans, are leaving in droves.
Now show us your mettle, prove yourself worthy of the Director tag you wear:
- Have the Producers been made aware of this swell of attitude?
- If so, what are their plans for addressing the concerns?
- If not, why not?
Three simple questions to which I think we deserve honest and open answers.
This is the best I have EVER heard my position represented, and I believe this is also the position of a GREAT number of SWG's subscribers.
In all honesty, if this game ever wishes to be #1 of all of the MMO's, these are they questions they need to find solutions for. EVERY Star Wars fan would pick up a copy of the game, instead of every Star Wars fan dropping it.
There is no better way I have seen it put, cpz. This is how things are for many subscribers.

well when you add up all the parts of other publishes, jedi have gotten probably 3!
Are you referring to the truckload of nerfs that got dumped on them or the handful of actual bug fixes? I can't think of a single actual enhancement (other than the adk's being able to be applied to sabers) that jedi have received since P9.
Then again, you can viably argue that a profession revamp IS getting a bunch of nerfs, cus thats how it normally works out after all the new flavor has worn off.

I will give them one more chance... If the "special surprises" up their sleaves are good enough, I'll buy it and continue Star Wars Galaxies for as long as it takes me to get bored with it. In the incredibly unlikely (more like impossible) chance that the devs pull out the dead animalsthatscratched their ways infrom thier @sses, andcreate smuggling, that is WORTHWHILE... I will play for a while longer. But Ihave to admit, I am glad that the jedi don't get their FRS! Nowthey feelaslight .01% of what we feel, and the crap we get (and its enough to make them whine).
"Special surprises" are fun! =)
You mean like the special surprise that we got fron JFreeman telling us we are not getting a revamp after being promised it for the last two years?
Oh yah, that was a big, hot steaming pile of fun for the Smuggler profession.

Hmmm..
If that's the case then no one would mind if the Devs went back to permadeath for the Jedi? Or maybe the Holo grind?

Nope that does not help. Developer honesty and fixes for regular professions would help.

dont understand why they sont have a small team on ever prof say like 5 ot 6 dev's that would post here get idea and make smugglers how u want
same with all the crafting profs why can we get new clothes makeup hair for ID armor, weapons ecteach patch 2 or 3 differant iteam each patch would make people stay and have more confidence in the dev team
Once, the Killers were BHs while Jedi were Achievers. However, the rewards for becoming Jedi (with no real downside) have skewed that so that now almost all Achievers and Killers are taking one single profession route.
LA/SOE need to think hard about this. Very hard.
