Hmm this is how I read things,

"Our announcement has two parts; the good news, and the bad news. The Bad News is first, and that is, yes you are boned. All those little things that make the game more annoying and frustrating than a bad case of poison ivy on the crotch at a nymphomaniac nudist camp, which were to be fixed in the Combat Rebalance, are indefinitely delayed. We know you were expecting it ASAP since we pretty much promised to fix every problem in the game whenever you asked with the Combat Rebalance and associated it with phrases such as "ASAP, Soon, working on it...etc. We are sorry you assumed that. You should know that when you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME. Instead we are working on introducing a new component of the game to keep you distracted with shiny objects and new trinkets. We figured hey, it worked on the native americans, surely a bunch of adolescents and pimply faced geeks will fall for it too. Thank you and goodnight. Oh we almost forgot the good news! The good news is that, We just saved a boatload of money on car insurance thanks to Geico. Thank you and goodnight."

That has to be the most funny, yet true statement I've read in awhile.... even though cynical.

Even though many peops have problems with what's going on, I still like this game alot. Now that they are nerfing Combat Medics.. I think I can start to enjoy the part of this game that I reaalllllyyyy dig - PvP. 'Bout time those poo-flingers got the nerf bat... those poisons are WAY to strong for how difficult and unreliable they are to counter on the battlefield. When docs die and the doc/combatant ratio drops in large battles... CM's are the undisputed gods of the GCW. The bulls*** is ending! Praise C3PO's golden ass

What can I say? I deal with disappointment with humor. I made a thread on communication issues in SWG a long time ago. Its here

I'm not really personally so incensed that I am quitting. Hell after dealing with Funcom, SOE is like a bunch of lollipop bearing fairy princess'. I think there are problems that need to be addressed with gameplay that will never get fixed until they start listening to the correspondants and following that listening up with action. Keep in mind I'm not bagging the Devs, or the correspondents. They both have a hard job that I do not envy. Wrather this is the fault of the marketing and management. I truly believe that Greenmarine wants things to be better for us. I truly believe that Smuggler Caylin is doing everything within his power to make sure that all our ideas, needs, and frustrations are passed up the line in a fashion that won't lead to prosecution, or lawsuits, or degrees in advanced 1337speakz0rz. Anyway, thanks for all the hard work guys. We appreciate it, even though it comes out a lot like, "I hate you and hope you die with a red hot poker shoved so far up your *BLEEP* that the handle breaks off. Hell while you are digging around up there you might look for your head." Trust me those are all terms of endearment.

Seriously guys, I'm hoping you are laughing or at least grinning. Thanks again.
