Hit the nail perfectly.

@Widget_gaget
I see what you mean, and to an extent I agree- what I think is acurate though is that threads like this where we are specifically complaining about the awful communication and to an extent care put into what the consumer wants. Maybe CG are deliberately making this a product orientated game (i.e the way they want it made rather than suggestions from us).
I feel though that I'd rather spend time right now actually playing goh, rather than speculating for days-weeks on end with no real direction for the game. I love search for more, I joined a guild, i made mates; what I want though is more gameplay at this point.

HAhahaha! That cycle is exactly what my friends would do when a new COD was released. I played COD online for 5 or 6 years when they were run by EA/Activision i believe.

COD? The classic example of gaming greed. The original COD was outstanding. It took the concepts pioneered by MOH and DOD and put them together into one of the best FPS game ever made (outside of Counter-Strike). COD2 was a worthy sequel that gave more content and different views of WW2. Then came COD3 and the console money grab; game quality sank as developers concentrated their efforts on the console kiddies. COD4 came along and modern warfare came with it. It was a great game and revitalized the series. Then COD basically abandoned PC by eliminating dedicated servers for MW2 release. That was when I departed. Now they just crank a new edition each year like every other company and get people to slap down $60 for a few new maps and character and weapon skins.

They're suckers!

The biggest thing players did to screw themselves was to open their wallets and spend money before they saw anything. So far, I haven't spent a cent on this title and that is because I could see clearly from Day 1 back in November when I began playing that EA/CG were full of it and were touting a beta as a full version game, even having the nerve to deny it when the version is 0.3.XXXXXX which is a beta version numbering scheme.

I don't spend money when people try to play dumb with me and if everyone did as I did from Day 1, EA/CG would have had to have stopped the games pretty early and come correct with some real content and an appearance of "caring" about the player base or fold up their tent and chalk this up as a loss and move on with their tail between their legs.

We all need to have some composure, close your damn wallet for God's sake unless the purchase benefits you greatly. At this point, I would have been slamming the iTunes Store/Google Play Store with endless negative one-star reviews to help tank this at this point for over a month, along with a closed wallet. Act like you are not playing, empty anger followed by purchases do not get Devs off their backsides.

Many have fallen on their swords already and have no defense since they've spent money already and have been used to pad the EA/CG coffers so it's too late for you to stand up. Your wallet is your power, start using it, sheesh......

U put it well. If u dont like it, be f2p. I am... Im waiting for a time when i feel the prices represent a fair value of digital content. At the same time, i wish people didnt whine... And by whine i dont mean ur post or posts with real suggestions... In sure even you guys hear the whiners and its just annoying

They don't care if you quit. There's two more whales waiting to replace the ones that leave and countless completely clueless people who've never experience the evil of "F2P" mobile games before wading right into EA's open jaws

But I will say it's pretty easy to get a refund on games like these, at least through Apple. A friend of mine just got his full $1k refunded. Like the third time he's done it, too. So don't give up too quickly, try contacting Google/Apple support and see what happens

I dont think ppl want a refund

They will when they realized how much money they spent on nonsense. I bet a lot of the money that goes into these games gets refunded. There's no regulation for IAPs and as much as that works in the publishers favor it also can work in the consumer's favor

Please don't use that R word

But someone has to hold their feet to the fire and be the resident grouch and I guess that's my specialty.

The difference between you can most other "grouches" is the you actually make decent arguments without decending into mean spirited ranting and personal attacks.

I work in the IT department of a billion dollar company, and my team is responsible for developing software and working with software vendors (ah..the glories of being in Middleware). And we would never accept being treated this way by a vendor, and we would never get away with treating our customers (other people in IT and business users) like this. It is unprofessional. And given the amount of money this single program is bringing in, they can afford to make time, whether that means hiring more people or whatever. Interns can take and compose notes.

But I do hope they are learning. And when they take a step in the right direction, I try to let them know. Thus my post about being happy about the weekly updates. I hope they are learning their lessons, and we will see what this new promise of weekly updates entails and if they follow through with it. It is sad that I have to say "if", but that's where we're at right now.

But don't ever think I am being a lapdog. I know how it should be, and I know this isn't it. It is obvious we are paying to be beta testers. The only difference is, in most of the beta programs I have been involved in, there was a lot more communication between the testers and the devlopers.

Yeah...I have seen this one before. The thing is, this and Mass Effect (do not get me started on ME3) are about the only 2 EA games I play. I keep waiting for them to put out something Star Wars related that is worth playing (SW:Battlefront just isn't my thing), and this is as close as I have come. Longing for another KOTOR...and that MMO doesn't count. I enjoyed some of the story elements, but that game could have been so much more as a single player game.

I hope this isn't advertising another game as its still an EA product.
