QOL is laughable.....
I'm a relative newish player been playing for awhile. How do you expect to retain a new player base that doesnt have access to dad's wallet or is a hedge fund manager. Early on the hearing for too...

No I do get it and have several solid teams phoenix, FO, and Sith. I still have to farm a multitude of other characters to decently high level just to be able to compete come end game. I just reached level 80 and I started the game off wrong and in a bad guild so mid game I basically did a full reboot. I can handle the grind and again I dont mind spending a few dollars. Thats not the issue here the issue is at this point with the way gear is set up new players have no hope and so all but the die hards will quit before mid game. Then the game will enter a state of attrition where the vets slowly lose interest and new players dont stay and the game goes down the toilet. It has happened in 2 other games I played for 3+ years. I play another game who realized much of my rant and have now made it much easier for new players to catch up to a point with vets without just giving it to them. The gear that would have taken a year in the beginning to get now takes a 3rd of the time allowing them some sense of accomplishment.
How long do you think a player will stay around when you tell them it will be a good 2 years before they can join in on all of these events they see? I can tell you exactly how long maybe a month. This game has a huge vet base so it will take longer but what I wrote above will inevitably happen unless something is done. Obviously this is something they want to keep people from shouting about in the open hence the movement of my post. I blame all of the issues on EA because they have done this in every popular game they have had their hands in. They will milk it until they cant anymore then suddenly a new swhog 2 will come out. Oh did I hear a dev say they had plans but it required them making hard changes to the game engine almost sounds like swhog2 too me.
Yeah im venting and ranting but it still doesnt change the fact that the gear system needs a huge overhaul. You have some gear that is never used ever. I have 600 to 1000 of some gear pieces. Why not introduce a gear crafting system where we can use the gear that is just pilling up to craft better or different gear that would work as a stop gap to the power creep happening atm.
