There is a belief in mmo that paying equates to investment andonewill toe the line, behave and take things terribly seriously with an RP name and a lore-friendly loadout.

Keep dem peasants away. You don't pay for dat Star Wars, you don't deserve to be part of da family.

You could always just subscribe, spam the forums, mail your twinks cash and generally romp all over the paywall content and then unsubscribe. Just a thought...

I don't think it's worth the energy honestly. People are sometimes jerks.

 

Ignore the jerks, especially the elitist kind.

[L. Han]

I can tell you without a doubt that other game forums are just as bad, if not worse, than SWTOR's.

 

Especially games with some competitive elements. Read those forums if you want to lose hope in humanity, especially the balance sections. The sheer amount of name-calling, grudging, elitism, fanboy-ism, and circle jerking is enough to make any sane person succumb to minor depression. That combined with the mob mentality and anonymity of the internet really brings out the worst of people and rarely the best.

 

(Based on: Relic's Company of Heroes and Dawn of War forums, League of Legends, DOTA2, SWTOR, Guild Wars 1 + 2 community hub, BSN, Payday 2, Dark Souls community, Natural Selection 2 forums, Nosgoth, and MUCH MORE!)

Since I've got nowhere else to talk about SWTOR except GameFAQs (which is basically dead now), let's talk about preferred status.  I became preferred recently.  You'd expect it to be like subscriber lite, but it's really more like F2P+.  Still no forum or customer service access, or even bug reporting.  Basic features.  I know subs are top priority, and I'm cool with that, but come on...

 

Also, 480 cartel coins to add armor to my collection so my other characters can use it, after I already spent 1080 (on sale) to buy it?  600 coins for this, 1440 points for that, and you buy the CC in increments of 450, 1050, 2400?  It's like Microsoft Points all over again!  Price gouging at its finest!  But I'm not complaining.  Just trying to figure out why a game supported by subs would charge so much for microtransactions.  It'd be more understandable if this was one of those F2P MMOs that don't have any subscribers, like the Digimon ones.

 

Anyway.  I'm really excited about the upcoming playable togruta.  I want to make a new commando when that happens.  I hope it's this summer or earlier.

It's because the forums would be filled with constant spam posts, such as those by gold sellers, as is the case with general chat since the introduction of F2P accounts.

 

Secondarily, allowing people to make unlimited new accounts for posting purposes is a spectacularly bad idea for any game with pvp content, for obvious reasons.

 

...
 

Really? 

 

I played SWTOR at launch, they still had gold sellers, and we had to wait three hours to have the first couple banned.

[JeffZero]

Then you need to wait a week or months, so the mods can do a careful check, involving, checking your teeth, bobbing your scrotum and decide whether you're yuppie enough to gain access.

 

I waited from December to early April. Then I decided enough was enough and I threw caution to the wind. I went ahead and emailed them politely requesting that I be allowed access. I was approved an hour later.

 

As for GameFAQs being dead, eh, it's getting there. 6k+ people still surf the boards at peak, however. It's just that those 6k are so spread out due to the vast nature of the forums. I've been a veteran of the Contests Board (I actually have little interests in the site's storied contests, but it's become a very nice social community) for many years and we're always pretty active. Not half as much as in, say, 2003, but still. It ain't bad. Most minutes on the clock have several posts except during American dead periods.

[mousestalker]

Between all the arrogant Sithlords and their omni oppressive cis humanoid patriarchy and the sith jedi warriors (sjw's) those boards aren't really worth visiting any more.

Usually people gather in cliques because they have big egos with atrophied genitals.

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

I think they should ditch the subscription model entirely.  All current subscribers would become preferred, and preferred would still have benefits.  I spent $10 for an armor set.  If I wanted to play the endgame story content or get to level 51-60, I'd have to pay $40.  I plan to ask for $20 of cartel coins for my birthday.  Look at that.  $80 already.  For a game that you're basically renting, and will never see again when they take the servers down.  It's also a game where you're at the mercy of developers' whims as they keep changing and removing gameplay because "balancing".  Add a subscription fee on top of that?   Hell no.  It's a money pit.  And these snobs look down on me for not subbing?  EA could make a killing off the Cartel Market alone.  This game does not need subscriptions.

SWTOR's community is just rather shitty in general tbh.

I only play SWTOR for the classes stories. I'm almost done then I'm leaving that damn place. Pity too, The old republic is my favorite timeline in Star Wars
