Pretty much the only reason I'm still clinging to one account for now...just for hope that they finally manage to get this game right.

Don't you have to ask yourself WHO the spice-pusher really is here?


Yes, I've been 'hooked' for over two years...really three or more if you include following the game before beta.


And yes, I'll give up a lot that I worked hard for.


And yes, there will be people I won't see any longer.


But then I won't be paying the pusher any longer. This monkey, at least, will be off my back.


It's a hard tradeoff but if I don't do it now I'll have to submit to reading the same smuggler content posts on this forum and listening to the same deafening silence from SOE indefinitely.


No, if I actually BELIEVED in SOE I'd stick it out. But they simply have no redeeming qualities. They get a vote of complete no-confidence from me.


If you really want to go though you can always give your account to one of your trusted guildmates to keep things going.

Same reason too - only thing is though - I'm VERY close to hitting the cancel button myself. I just feel guilty for the friends that i brought into the game and I play with regularly. I'd be abandoning them - but I'm sure they'd understand how I feel.

I'm confliced. I need another Dancer hug... ladies?

Or heck, I'll be more direct - Veela - get over here!

I think that's it for me. I'll be making my final decision tonight. At the very least - I'm definately protesting in-game on my Smuggler toons and I may carry on the Armorsmith business (as its growing like crazy), but I'm so upset that its all one big kick in the pants. Damn you SOE. You damn dirty apes...
Except you Ganyemed (if I spelled that right), you kinda creep me out sometimes... Vin Diesel... geez!





haha /Diesel shot FTW!

yeah i may just hit the cancel button tonight as well.

i've only been able to log on once since i moved to queens anyway. my girl takes too much of my time haha. i need to convert her to a gamer. (after she gets her own computer though )




I'm VERY subtly working on the same thing myself. It's my opinion that everyone needs some kind of escape, especially high-stress people (which she happens to be )

And what better escape than an MMO

Might I suggest sleeping on it before making rash decisions. I only suggest that since emotions are running so high in here today.

Hey man. I've always appreciated your hurmor and opinions, so I'd like to say thanks for the advice, but it was a farily simple decision.


It came down to 1 question.


Is it fun?



No, not anymore. I bought this game to be immersed in the Star Wars Universe, and instead I find myself in a Jedi wildlife preserve. I do not want to be a Jedi - I played Jedi Knights 2 and KOTOR 1&2 and any other Star Wars game you can think of. I've had my Jedi fill. I wanted to be unique, a smuggler running from the empire, or a member of the empire smuggling weapons and spice right under their nose... but alas, I have been found wanting.


It was a terrible let down, and I'm kidding myself if I think I'll be able to smuggle anytime soon. Its been since launch for smugglers not being able to smuggle anything - the Development team does not address any thing other than mindless drivle liek the "we digg the tiggs" crap. I found that absolutely ridiculous that we could get noticed for stupid jackassery like that, and when we wish a meaningful discussion, we get ignored.


Then when some of us try to be noticed, they get banned. Redonculous. Its not even worth spelling right.


I am going to take my money elsewhere. Somewhere where I feel welcomed as a customer and a player. I have played Anarchy Online (closer to startwars than this bloody game was), CoH (what I'm going back to in the interim), WoW (too frickin cartoony for me), and A3:Age of Soverign (Wicked Adult-oriented MMORPG - but difficult to control - and still in Beta).


Every other company I have been a customer of has treated me with respect and answered my questions within a 48 hour time period. SOE has never returned a trouble ticket, not one email, Private Message, nothing.


The only way I'm going to put up with that crap is if this gme gives what I want in a smuggling experience. No slicing experience will cut it for me. Sorry all. But I really am happy some of you enjoy this game. Maybe it will give the Development team enough inspiration to fix at least a small part of it.


But my money is on their track record.



Geez. Seems I've been venting a lot - sorry guys.

I still have fun with the people in game... do i realize I pay $15/month for an irc client with pretty pictures, sure... but while I still can create fun in the game with people i have fun with I'll be around

nearly left a few times (part due to smuggler issues, part due to tc related issues and those people i have fun with scattering everywhere)... i've stopped automatic re-billing twice as a "well i'll make a decision when my month expires" kind of thing... and each time i've gone ahead and paid up again

the one thing that I have seen in the last 6 - 9 months is that I have no confidence that anything is coming down the line, and with the CU my biggest complaint is that too many of the avenues that once were there that could be developed into something good were basically cut off leaving, well, many fewer areas for refinement. Just seems less and less to obsess about in game - to chase after or make a long term goal (profession changes, weapon/armor caps, loot changes, etc)... and certainly less and less around here on the boards to dream about.

so I know my time is limited... no revamp or some other great change that I'm paying until it happens then making the call but I'm still here playing and having fun, until I'm not.

To those quitting - this week or next or the next - good luck to you, have fun in what you do next, and thanks for the memories... I totally understand where your at.

Keep on Smugglin'

You can't play for other people. I felt the same way before I quit, and oddly enough, they managed to survive without me. Some were eventhere when I got back.

Play because you enjoy it. Because it's fun. If it's not, then there are a lotta other companies doing a better job that'd be more than happy to take your money. Or go play outside! I did a little of that, and it blew my mind. Did you know that for half the day you can see without any lights on?? Who knew??!


I popped back in to check out the CU and RotW, and although there were some fun moments, but nothing has really changed.Same shat, different excuses.
