They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept.

Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

In my level-26 opinion, lack of groups has less to do with population and more with the game. - groups are only 4 people and can be done with 2 or 3 if you know how to use companions. Since many people play in pairs to start with, less groups are LFM. - instances are pretty pointless to do because - most people that DO group, don't want to run instance "on-level" or higher, so you're stuck doing instances long after your gear has outleveled it. - game is based around story and after the first instance there is no more story (esselles has all these cinematics and choices and stuff, but then Hammer, Athiss and Mandalorians have nothing of the sort). - everything is tank'n'spank. the biggest challenge is actually finding a tank and managing the terrible UI (you're welcome to try and explain to me WTF the shorcut to target the first group member is F3, 2nd is F4 and 3rd is F2.)
I really liked Esselles back in beta and was excited about the prospect of doing the rest of the instances in the game, but now that i've done the next three, it just looks like they made Esselles so they could advertise an experience that isn't offered in the other instances. Maybe as you get higher level it gets better, but honestly.. why wouldn't ALL the instances be done with the same care and polish?

I thought it was going to be a bash lol the op have a weird description of "fun" "Some of the less objective people tend to be close-minded though and basically disregard any possible shortcomings that gw2 could have." |

I'd like to extend an open invitation to anyone who would like to start fresh on a new server. My main is on Vrook Lamar lvl 43 Sith Assassin. I'd be happy to help you out with tougher quests and even some flashpoints. I have a ton of low level synthweaving artifact quality recipes. If you make an inquisitor, I can outfit you with some great gear for cheap (maybe even free if you ask nice) :) If you are interested, send me a pm with your new character's name and I'll mail you in game. The End |

Originally posted by arieste 1. Well it is population on my server. When you have 40 or less people running around on your fleet and less to speak of on planets it can be difficult to find people. Although if there were better lfg mechanics this would alleviate some of the problem. Part of the problem is at higher levels people simply get way too spread out so trying to form a group outside of your guild is a serious pain in the ass. 2. Some of the lower level ones can be done with a companion. I wouldn't recommend it. Can be fairly tough to pull off but it is doable. Some of the higher level ones it simply cannot be done because of the mechanics in some places with boss fights or actions that take place (trying not to give any spoilers). 3. I can't relate to this although I agree many do feel this way. I always run them around the level they're categorized at. Why so many want to wait until they're several levels above it is beyond me because it does indeed trivialize it. 4. There are a few later on with stories thrown into it like the first fp. Although you are correct that the majority are not done in the same story format as the first one you do. Which I suppose is a shame. Depends on how much you value their storytelling ability I guess. 5. Everything is not tank and spank. You aren't going to find anything revolutionary in these fps by any means but there are mechanics at play in some of these that involve moving around/placement, paying attention to your surroundings, or taking action with items to further the boss battle. 6. Their ui preference and inability to customize it is the pits. No doubt about it. Looking forward to when they allow for customization. Should have already been put in place but hey...better late than never I suppose. I like thier fps personally. Just wish it wasn't such a headache to try and group for them. Although I will say from my experience they're a hell of a lot easier than trying to group for the 4 man heroics on the higher level planets. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept.

Originally posted by DannyGlover Roll a toon on Vulkar Highway for late night EST and come give me a hand then. When I can group, I stay logged in. The moment I'm solo, I just logoff. I haven't figured out if it is the game itself, or just me being a burned out MMO vet of 10 years who hates grinding alone. |

Well I'm on Vrook Lamar if you want to make an alt there :) I'm still leveling my main there and I have quite a few things I want to do with my toon before I think about making an alt. I'm not saying that every time I log on I'm farting rainbows. But I do have more good times than not. One rule of thumb that works for me is I try not to log on just because I'm bored. I can always find other things to do besides play mmo's. And sooner than later the mood will strike me to log on and do stuff again. Sometimes the urge to play lasts long enough that I don't resub. If thats the case, I usually appreciate the fun I had while it lasted and move on. But even so, I regularly pop into old favorites every few months or so. The End |

Well at least you have some "girls" to put on the Street, back in SWG , cheaking the harvesters and resource spawns twice a day was like a 2nd job...that didn't provide a paycheak...or benifits. It was actualy taking years off my life...as my toon raced on his swoop over Yavin's landscape ...avoiding rocks and geonosians..still not sure what those bug guys were doing there anyway... trying to gather stuff I had no use for..I didn't need money..just running up the score..
So it could be worse! |

Originally posted by Theodwulf Not sure what your talking about. Harvesters provided me tons of cash. We typically dominated all the good spawns. We knew what was spawning where. Convinced Forcemeds on Eclipse was acutally a dev, because he always knew precisely where the biggest possible land of 85%+ concenctration was. Of course, I also had a big business. We had different people set on admin structure for the harvies. Everyday someone else came and checked on them. We had about 100 harvies going in SK mining. Between that and my ranger character, the economy on Eclipse was a cash cow. Then there was all the private contracts imps would want from the CM supplies (one of the few 12 pt'ers on the server) who had a 300 million credits in asset business, and access to FM's "private stock" if I wanted it. Man I miss that game's econ. Of course, it was people like me SOE wanted to get rid of when they made the changes in the CU, and then the NGE. :p
And Glover, I might roll a toon on Vrook. Look for Ulot. What side you playing? |

" Completly agree, life isnt just mmorpgs, but its nice to have one to play when the need arises, and you still can have some fun with even if you dont play more than weekends... SWTOR is keeping me busy with story and allows me to have fun when i play, if im bored ill just unsub. Nice to see someone with same view :) |

Right back at ya Marajha :) I think there are more gamers like us than people think. Plenty of people enjoy a game for what it is. I like discussing games on forums. Sometimes it feels more like I'm defending a choice, but that's just how the internet works heh. The End |

Swtor is getting better by the week, now they just need to end with the WZ bugs 12 vs 8, and wins not counting, then had content, ilum is great atm on my server, lots of pvp, we starting NM mode ops in my guild awsome. New space combat, Legacy system, interface customization rated wz's, more wz's and ops, omfg and we are only 2month into to it, just insane, after the patch in March this game will be the best in the market, imo.

Originally posted by Kidon From the outside it looks like you are sinking.. Dont know anyone In IRL or from games I have played who play this game... Downloaded rift trail and if was full of people quting SWTOR.. same on Stark Trek online.. Im going to be playing AION come february 16 and I cant bet money its going to be full of people who gave up on SWTOR.. The game is not getting anny good word of mouth.. I whonder who will replace all the players that they are losing? With GW2.. buy to play and Tera coming out I dont see any bright future for SWTOR.. honestly I dont... Also it might be full of casuals.. but casuals are not organized enough to get any sort of comunity going.. If you log in a few hours a week you really dont have anny time to commit to anything.. What this will lead to is that the casuals cant ride on the hardcores back.. and they will soon tire of the game and quit... |

Originally posted by Zlayer77 You failed to catch the irony/saracsm of the pre poster. All the stuff he described never found it's way into the game. In fact Bioware/EA still wasn't even able to fix many of the quest bugs as you can see from the posts in the support forum. But hey, if you are into MMORPGs that don't offer the slightest freedom, feel like single player games and ofc like the SW universe the game can be fun. |

Originally posted by Kidon I'll admit, at first I missed the sarcasm and I fell for it. I just got trolled. And now that I see the sarcasm, I lol hard. |

Well glad to see some have a positive experience out of all the forum negativity. I'm having fun for the most part but trying to find groups in this game is a pain in the ass. Have tried to get a group for the Foundry for 6 days now, the instance is grey to me at this point, but it feels like it is an excercise in futility. I've stopped trying to do the heroic missions on planets for a while now, no one groups up for those, at least on my server they don't. Other than that, I have enjoyed the game, even the pvp from time to time. |

Originally posted by DJJazzy The problem is those are chained so many don't want to bother and frankly that one can be pretty tough.
