Who said the STR is universally hated? I hear this as a sense of entitlement where everyone thinks they should be handed equal rewards.

Any game where long term development is a factor isn't going to allow for that.

The STR is incredibly well designed content. It has some depth and complexity, while allowing for some pretty creative teams.

Just because something is hard doesn't make it hated or ****. No everyone belongs at the top of their arena shard.

I'd flip it around and ask what the player's goals are. This game gives you the choice. If you expect to be able to rank 1 in arena every day, and get the top rewards from the games hardest content - you'll need to plan and spend accordingly. Otherwise find a way to maximize your full potential and be happy with the progress that affords you. Neither of those things are something you're entitled to. CG's is giving you that choice.

This game isn't perfect, and I've yet to find one that is - but there is sure a lot to enjoy and fun to be had.

Again, I am glad your experience has been positive. I would reference the sith raid feedback thread for perspective about how the general community feels about raid. There are about a thousand posts or so, feel free to tally positive and negative feelings. Let us know what that looks like.

If you think forum post are a true measure of community sentiment, we would first need to debate that point.

Who's more likely to run to the forums? The person who is struggling or unhappy with the rewards, or the person who's just having fun and getting on with the game?

Your statement implies that the forums serve as a complete measure of that sentiment. That's like saying, most people who call a service department have problems. Of course they do, but that doesn't mean they speak for the massive population of people who never read or post on these forums.

I'd love to hear what people's goals and expectations are from this game. What are yours?

I have just 1 goal, to have fun. ; ) I personally feel the game is at a low point right now, I dont think my feeling is unique.

But to answer your previous question regarding who is likely to post. The topic was created by the community manager, seeking feedback from this specific group, with a specific set of questions. That feedback, especially in the begging was given very constructively. I think its fair to say that feedback was not acted on, or engaged in any way shape or form. I can only think of 1 reason to seek such structured feedback, and that is to improve that piece of content. I am honestly not trying to troll, but every STR feedbackthread I can find on any forum, in any venue shows your experience to be in the vast minority.
