Why would any corporate exec care if you switched from SWG to EQ2? They're made by the same company and the money all goes in the common till anyway. Now, WoW or COH, those are different stories...
Here's another deep, dark conspiracy theory for ya.
Maybe SWG was always SUPPOSED to suck. Maybe SOE lobbied hard for the rights because they knew if someone ELSE did the job well, there'd be MAJOR competition with their EQ franchise. They knew EQ2 was on the horizon in a few years, so they pitched for LucasArts to give them the job. Then, they made sure to make the game suck, piss off their customers, etc. The theory being that, as long as EQ2 was good enough, the customers would just leave SWG and not leave SOE products altogether. Unfortunately, their development team for SWG was a little overzealous and some people (like me) will never buy anything with the SOE brand ever again. Because for me, the SOE brand = poor quality product and even worse quality customer service.
And risk that George Lucas jumps at SOEs throat? I believe he is one of the few that is able to take that giant SOE down.

But writing to SOE wont' solve anything unfortunately.... WAAAAAaaaaaayy back, there was a smallgroup of people (I think 7 to 10) whom held a protest outside on the lawn of Verant (then, the developer for Everquest AND SWGbefore SOE conquered them). They thanked them for coming, and told them to go away.
Yes I know that it will most likely result in nothing. BUT- at least I can say I tried and didn't just complain about it in a forum that nobody goes to.
This is not a slam or a flame - just stating a fact. Remember: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

An acronym for Quoted for Emphasis, it's used when someone makes a good point, and people want to make sure that it gets across. Usually seen used in internet forums.
