Darth Hater

Nice second post.. ever... today.

Don't call it "Information Overload" because this is neither.  Call it "The Week in Review" because you're just spitting out information from the past week as filler.

Everyone knows there were new cartel items on the store.  I can guarantee there will be new items tomorrow morning.  If you can beat Dulfy with posting new cartel pack items you'll be making headway.  Otherwise you'll be late to the show and generating just another post with late and useless information.

The one year "celebration" is a sore subject for players because BW gave us a crappy pack of fireworks and said "Have a blast!".  There was nothing "big style" or "wonderful" about it.  You wanna do something "unique" then interview a guild GM and post up a recount of their player run festivities because that's what it was.  

Not caring about the Curse weekly roundup thingy.  Not gonna read it.. not interested.

You tried to sell me headphones?!  Seriously?  This is a SWTOR site and not a hardware marketing site.  If I wanted good information on headphones I'd go to Engadget like everyone else.  I'm certain they at least tested them.

Lastly.. know your audience.  The bulk of SWTOR players came from WoW or know it in some form or fashion.  Most players know what MMO Champion is and they don't need or want an advertisement to go there.  Why would they?!  When was the last time MMO Champion advertised Darth Hater on the FRONT PAGE?!  I'm guessing never.

/facepalm

I agree with Brandon on wanting larger raids than the 4 boss 1 puzzle scheme we seem to be locked into right now.

My biggest fear is that we are going to have to wait until April-May to see the next raid.  This is too long for my raiding guild to hold out for new content.

I don't think we're gonna make it another year in this game.  Truly sad news on this "expansion" being pushed back.

I guess we just need to unsub and maybe come back later.  My enthusiasm is pretty low for the expansion.

All I can see that stands out.  "Over the next few months..."  and  "Preordering entitles you to Five days of Early Access"  the rest of it is... blah blah blah... blah blah blah.

Yep... Makeb will be the highlight of SWTOR for 2013.  

I'll take it that this means we'll be farming TFB for another 4 months.  Great...

What happens if Makeb is the highlight of 2013?

So, Grade 7 isn't endgame gear?  Okay, can I get the last pieces of my Dreadguard set via CC?  Because I want them and it doesn't effect any other players.

Right.. Pay to Win is a better way of looking at it but you said "against other players".  You're not playing against other players in Operations either.

From what I've read most players would need the upgrades to effectively compete in the new missions.

Wait a minute... Grade 7 ship items for CC?!?  I thought this is exactly what people raged about on the forums... the ole pay to play issue.  So, if I play with top parts pre 1.6 and get my ass kicked.. seems like I'll be strongly drawn to buy those upgrades via CC.  Isn't that pay to play?  How is that different than buying Dreadguard gear with CC?

I agree.  Blizzard releases 16 bosses in it's first Tier for MoP and SWTOR releases 19 bosses in one YEAR.  Imagine the outcry from the WoW masses if Blizzard had released a Nightmare mode for Firelands and declared it another Tier of progression in July.
