Well, back in the days, Devs actually played the game. Like Q-3PO, he use to play the game quiet often. So i think once they get more devs, they should have them playing the game and see whats wrong.
They don't play the game anymore cause it's too broken...

They're all doing whatever it is they're doing. Fine. I accept that. But for $15 a month...good grief. And over a year later? This isn't just a game. I hate to be so harsh, but it's a service. That's why I keep paying month by month. If it was a simple "you've bought it, you play it" setup I wouldn't mind. But it's a "buy it, and pay every month thereafter" situation.
That's what angers me. That's what makes me battle with the decision to keep on or just stop paying. For some, that 15 bucks could be used for something even more fun or perhaps...useful? It pains me so.

Dude, the reason most of us havea problem, is that we haven't been touched since the game started, over a year ago. Outside of making our exp easier to get for the hologrinders our profession hasn't been altered by the devs, despite our pleas and obvious uselessness. You played ShadowBane. Great, wonderful. Is it as Nerf'ed as this game is? You're comparing apples to oranges dude.
Oh, and welcome to SWG.

Feel free to hang in there. But over a year later? Good grief. $15 bucks a month goes for this game to entertain me. If I pay money to purchase a game, then even more just to play it, you're dang straight I'm going to want it to be played at least relatively effective. Spending that many skill points for a borked profession that can be played by an afk bot?
The reason so many people yell "I quit" isn't because of the Squad Leader delay alone, don't kid yourself. It's because they're fed up with alot of other things. This just happens to be the straw that broke the camel's back for those individuals. But broken PVP, borked PVE, useless specials, the list goes on and on. After a year of being strung aroudn with "wait for the combat balance" to have it snatched, that reeeeallllly pressed many people over the edge. For the rest it pressed them right to that edge.
Spoiled? Hardly. Expectant of fixes for a game that feels like beta? You betcha. We've waited quite a while, and continue to wait.

Uhmm... I wasn't comparing SWG to any other games... The point was that it takes along time to get satisfactory results into massive servers like the 1's used by SWG... I've seen it before ; "i quit" then they goto a new massive game like this... and guess wot ? ...... But for the heck of it... Apples are round , red, and slightly crunchy... While oranges too are round, however they are orange, and not so crunchy, in as much asthey are squishy..
May i ? Thank you..
2'nd..
That sux they haven't touched the class since launch.. As there are obviously problems with the profession... But we all read the dev notes.. we all read the releases... We all knew they stated the core of their team was working on J2LS...
( if i don't stand up for the code crunchers ; who will ? )

Well Darth Sushi asked how many times SLs will be cancelling their accounts and i will tell you that its happening one more time.
I dropped almost all of my SL ability except formup and retreat and i might/might not get rid of the rest. Meanwhile i went and bought JointOps and have been playing that way more than SWG lately. Probably in September i am going to cancel my account and i already preordered EQ2.
Now i know you guys are saying hey EQ2 is still an SOE game. Well yes it is but EQ was good with customer service from what i understand. Also EQ2 has a different dev team who might possibly not be as bad as SWG.
If EQ2 sucks i will never play another SOE game again and that is a promise.
no.....*censored* way....

PRECISELY. Instead of oh, I dunno, fixing what they already have, making whats already present work the way its supposed to, they're instead going out and making an expansion. Which will no doubt have its own bugs that need to be fixed, pushing our profession revamp and the combat revamp even farther. Ever heard of the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Around here the saying goes "if its broke, don't fix it". Incredible amount of time was spent on fixing commandos and BH's, which I understand make up a good part of the game, however this is no reason to ignore everything else. Secondly the spent in inordinate amount of time working on Jedi which are supposed to be a very minor part of the game to begin with. One of the seeling parts of this game was to be a part of the Star Wars Saga. Just a part. You are just anothe rinsignificant sentient creature in a universe full of 'em. Not some galaxy changing uber player.
Now if you'llforgive me, I'll get off my soap box now.

First , I don't think your on a soap-box..
Second i didn't mean to start a flame war or give everyone a negative opinion of me as some newbie with my head up a womp-rat's dark-side.....
Just saying things take time to implement.... I've seen it , anyone else who has played MMoRPG's has seen issues like this before...
But i'm looking forward to the expansion , if i have to wait till it comes out to get my chosen proffesion revamped ; it sux but so be it.. I got enough cold-ones to last the wait 
But wot is reall B.S. isn't the revamp wait... It's the damn warnings i get about using my squadleader powers..... Cause afk macro-screaming merchants who slow my framerate , eat up my ping , and ruin any typed conversation i'm having; are pleasant beings i like to sit next to in the starport, while they /shout waypoints well within a 1000meters of major sites every 5 seconds....
Wait , thats a whole-nother thread though isn't it ??
Anyways i hope we run into each other on a server sometime, we could show them wot real SL spamming is

Actually I have solved the SL "spam" problem ...... I't soo simple i'm suprised you veterans haven't thought of it yet....
From now on when my SL /shouts a command they will read like as follows...
/formup (/shouts) Visit my merchant at blah blah Theeed !
/steadyaim (/shouts) Cheapest wares on Tatooine !!!
/boostmorale (/shouts) Visit my merchant's waypoint t blah blah blah
I'm honestly gonna trry it

you cant change formups spam, you can change retreat and boostmorale i believe but with formup you are stuck and that is the one spammed most. And please Yog-Soth have some respect for us who have been with this game much longer. Just because you are new and not mad yet doesnt give you the right to talk about. Give yourself some time and you will see our perspective.
