"Forums filled with Group Think", to my dismay and wonder, "where have all the original posts gone?"

The only people who had their access removed from the forums, are those who broke the TOS. It's a separate question to determine whether they had original ideas, but in my experience, they likely spouted the same old talking points complainers are following from the larger group of complainers. There is nothing noble in having your access denied to the forums.

So again, it's easy to stop complaining, by stop doing the things that make you upset.

You want some creative solutions? Here.

Productive, original threads don't seem to gain much traction. Be part of the solution.

I do some mild complaining, nothing original most likely as the problems are pretty obvious. I'm not FTP nor am I have any issues whatsoever in arena (for like over 3 months).

There are legit complaints though and people are voicing them. I see nothing wrong with that.

It is pretty obvious that the responses to said complaints is just going to be to maintain the status quo... so it is indeed time to quit complaining and accept that or not and continue to test the releases for them and log the bugs.

I would still like my other 10 chewie shards and haven't heard @EA_Jesse speak to that??? I didn't ask for them or anything but yet somehow they set the expectation of 30 and I only got 20 lol

Can we pretty please with fur on top have our other 10? :)

I can see you didn't read my posts. I never complained, and you are clearly mistaken.

So, the group think continues!

@medetec you were never one to follow the crowd. Thanks for your input.

Is it group thinking, or is it pre-existings issue many people have come to the same conclusion on? People make all sorts of "original" complaints about the same issues, but they usually get merged to a mega thread, making it seem like everyone is flocking to the one place to complain in the same fashion; except when the largest P2W guild threatens to cut financial support.

When a problem is so common, forum vets/mods encourage people not to make new threads, but to search an existing one and add to it. That, and posts being deleted. So the forum community does not encourage original thoughts, and rarely ever has.

It's probably a bit of both. The forum has always been full of complaints, but after the mods update it's just ridiculous. Oppinions are contagious. Seeying people have the same issues with the game as you have is also encouraging to get more upset about it. Smaller shared issues get totally blown out of proportion.

Associating deleted posts to the idea the forum doesn't encourage original thoughts is a prime example of the group thought on the forums. Posts are deleted for TOS reasons, not because there's a conspiracy to stifle creative thinking. Come on man!

I am F2P and I am not unhappy that I am not #1 in my shard. I am F2P and I complain in posts. I am F2P and I only voice my concerns because I love this game and would like to see it continue. The "Everybody shut up and accept it" mentality is not going to keep people around.

I do not feel I am owed anything but I do voice my opinion. The devs are free to make a product that they are happy with and feel serves their purpose. But what happens when people stop playing? Do you keep pushing your dream forward or do you stop and listen to your player base? If the game you want to make continues to make people upset then why would you continue down that path. One reason: MONEY.

The devs know that the old spenders will leave but new ones will replace them. But that can only hold true for so long. At some point you will anger too many people and your dream will die.

I am not asking Ea/CG to cater to my every whim. What I AM doing is voicing my opinion on my feelings of the game. I am happy with most of the content but the complete lack of regard for the player base makes me mad. They went silent for a week or more and then came back with some feel good update that basically said "We heard your voices and decided not to listen."

Who asked for Wedge and Biggs to be reworked for better synergy? I haven't seen thread after thread asking for that. How about a Teebo fix? Or at least explain why I can complete 11 nodes of GW with one team but for some reason the 12th node wipes out my entire roster? Is that supposed to be fun?

Until the devs step up and actually address some issues with meaningful answers a lot of people are going to be unhappy and that leads to complaining. Not because we feel we are owed something but because we have a passion for this game and Star Wars overall.
