This thing has been up since midday yesterday and it doesn't even have 500 votes as of now as I post this.

Pre-NGE such a poll would have had 5,000 votes OR MORE within a couple hours.  Such as the polls about whether the CU was fun or not during it's testing...

Smuggler leading Jedi also is a laugh.  As borked as smuggler was Pre-NGE they were much more smuggler like than the current incarnation, at least they sliced (never reintroduced since NGE) and made and sold spice (never reintroduced since NGE).

Let the spin begin.  Considering that Pre-NGE such a poll would have had to have over 32 options on it, "too much reading required" isn't a valid excuse.

I encourage everyone who doubts the word of those who reject the NGE to try it for themselves. http://tryswg.com

Experience for yourself a combat system that doesn't work, a broken UI...

lol how sad

and smuggler leading is a joke. in the pre-cu system smuggler was fine as yes you are right they made spice and did slicing thus supporting the rest of us. now it's a joke of a profession and the only people who play it are fanbois.

this is why pre-cu needs to come back or the game needs to shutdown. cuz fanbois got to go.

"Denial does not change reality."

Wasn't it said that posters represent 10% of the active player base? Then this would indicate less than 5k active players at this time. I also believe that the last few SWG polls also had a poor number of players responding. This does seem to indicate a seriously reduced playerbase possibly compounded with a total lack of efficacy.

It''s "Not that bad"

Interesting how there's still a very strong support for Pre-NGE professions in the thread.

So far it's about every 4th or 5th post is a Pre-NGE prof.

Well it could be a reflection of low population and/or it could be a reflection of SOE's disregard for player input.  Time and again they have been asked for input.  Players provided input when asked about bugs and issues for pre-cu.  What did we get?  The combat upgrade.  Is that what anyone asked for?  Absolutely not.

Then there are the profession revamps.  After months of providing input, creature handlers finally got their much needed revamp, and they loved it.  Just a few weeks later, the entire profession is deleted.  So much for input.

Then there's Smed's letter to the community after the NGE.  What do people ask for?  Initially a rollback to a working game system, later just the option of classic servers.  Does SOE listen?  No.

Then there were face to face meetings with players.  What do the players ask for? Server mergers.  What does Smed promise?  To fast track server mergers.  Have their been any server mergers?  No.

With their track record of completely disregarding player input and/or telling players what they want to hear and then actually doing the opposite, I'm surprised anyone at all responds to their polls.

haha look at the trader profession lol ...all crafters together can't match up with a single other profession..

crafting is almost dead  in the current  crapware  version haha

while PRE CU crafters were on par with if not the most respected professions/people.

grats $OE for creating the biggest  Star crap-Wars of all times.

Everyone who logs into NGE destroys a bit of the SW Universe.

No SWG Pre-Cu, No money to the $OE suckers , simple and fair.

DON't agree to $OE 's EULA. They change the gameplay without respect your investement.

Well that was back when the non-combat professions were just as vital and important to the game as the combat professions.

 

Now the devs can't think past Jedi to fix crafting or entertaining.

Cornelius Drebbel  himself couldn't fix this submarine. smed has already nailed a screen door to it and is

making full steam ahead into icebergs.

arguing with a corporate fanboi is like teaching special education.
even if you teach him something...at the end of the day he's still retarded.

Exactly!! I did the vet return trial, I even foolishly paid for a month.. I didn't touch my pre-cu jedi that I tirelessly ground out, but I wanted to try crafting from the ground up, and see what it takes without millions of credits.  So I started out with nothing and made it to 90.. to make a long story short, after giving a real honest effort to experience it like a day 1 newbie, all I can say is it's a major dissappointment from the old game.  I honestly had the impression at first that this was going to be ok... but it turned into a pile of crap.

What a sad game this thing turned into.. not much else to say. If you want specifics about my experience, just give me a shout out..

ARRGGHHHH !!!!!

This is the whole point about why SWG was the greatest MMO ever - I was a crafter and a fighter with a litlle medic thrown in.

I logged on a few weeks ago as I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed off with WoW and I couldn't do diddly.

As a crafter all I could was make things with no combat what so ever - so I created an alt Jedi - and what a waste of time that was !!!!!!

I'ved said it before and I will keep saying it

PLEASE BRING BACK PRE-CU
