Thanks CG!

I just want to say to the leadership at CG making the decisions, thanks for incentivizing me to reduce my spending on the game by such a significant amount! I'm saving money I can spend elsewhere due to your absolute lack of concern about what's important to players. This month I've only spent 30 dollars on the conquest pass, rather than the amount I usually spend. It seems your concern has gravitated to new players and you've increasingly ignored long-time loyal players?

Bugs effect players negatively? You don't prioritize them. (If they help us in PVE, you fix those ASAP, OT pay is authorized!)

Quality of life upgrades? Not a priority.

Player concerns about issues or improvements to the game? Not a priority.

Product quality? Definitely not a priority. The artwork, kits, character options are all good. It's the spaghetti code that needs work you don't want to put in.

Meathead communicates with us, but you basically put him out to take all the heat from players without any backup. Not his fault leaders at CG won't converse with players. I know there are others working at CG who are doing the best they can, but whoever is prioritizing resources is lame.

No beta testing before release, because you don't want to put the work into that option. So, you force players to be your beta testers in the release version, which further causes US problems, not you. Even when we call out bugs, it takes months or years to fix many of them. (If they do get fixed)

GAC hasn't been updated in years, TW hasn't been updated in even longer. Not a priority. (Even the bugs in GAC and TW are virtually irrelevant to you.)

The only updates you make to TB is to add more planets with even higher relic requirements, so players will increase spending of money, time, and resources! But the bugs and balance in TB are irrelevant, only money is relevant.

The new "eras" gig seemed kind of decent, but your priority with it is monetization. Sure you did a couple tweaks to improve it, but they should've been done before release. And it's just more tasks to do in game daily. If you buy the pack, you end up with a bunch of currency that isn't really necessary unless you're a newer player. (Because again, long-time players aren't a concern.)

So what is your plan? Other than to keep releasing new shinies that are broken? What hasn't been broken, or broken something else on release in the last 18 months? Issues that should've been identified before you put them in game. Whoever's in the lead making decisions seems to only be concerned about new stuff to get people to spend money on. Is a robot in charge? Or just an accountant that doesn't want to interact with customers / players? Or a robot accountant?

I'm guessing the leadership won't even see this, but I don't care. You suck. And if EA is fully in charge and making all the decisions, that figures because they suck too. It was good to have gamers running the game for a few years at least, maybe they'll take over again someday?

You’ve been whining about the game for as long as I can remember and still spending money it - you sure showed CG!

And you've been whining about me and others whining. So what's that say about you, CG Defense Force member?
Is it voluntary, or do they pay you?

I am just amazed that someone who seems to find every aspect of this game a source of misery and disappointment still plays it at all - never mind continues to pay to support something they clearly despise.
If someone were complaining as much about their job as you do this game, I’d implore them to quit and find another one.
You may not believe it - but I am actually trying to help you. It can’t be good for your health to be this negative about something that nobody is forcing you to participate in. At least you didn’t mention Datacrons this time.

It must be exhausting to play a game that you hate this many years

It must be sad to be that bored to post so meaningless and cynical messages all over this forum. Not to mention that your posts are not on the topic and thus directly violate this forum's rules.

Miserable? Not there yet. If anything, CG has made me care less and less about the game because whoever is in charge doesn't seem to care. There is plenty about the game I enjoy, but at times I get aggravated about certain issues, which reminds me of the other issues of the game. And, I am quite happy to get vocal about it here, where it should be appropriate. If I didn't enjoy the game, I would've quit it like I did MSF and Raid.
Whether you believe it or not, I don't hit the level of stress you think I do about the game. There have been stretches of months that I don't post anything because I was content with the progress of the game. I also posted positively about quite a few improvements and new releases over the years. Especially when CG was communicative with us consistently, when they had a beta program, when they were more actively engaged with players.
And I didn't mention datacrons because they are not nearly as troublesome right now as the failures and apathy of CG leadership.
If they had respect for players, they would take an implementation break for 3 months and prioritize fixing bugs and working player issues. They've done it before a couple times in the past and told us as much. But that seems a low potential option now.

Don't hate the player, hate the game?

Sounds like your version is actually, "Don't hate the player, hate the game...and continue playing the game. Just hate it harder."
Not to mention that letting a game developer, or any company or organization...or actually anyone else make your financial decisions for you...seems like a losing proposition. I'm sure you'll do great, though. Please keep us posted.
