Now, since I am a firm believer in Hanlon's razor, and given CG's history with proving said razor to be the case regarding their "extensive internal testing" numerous times in the past, I'm going to wait and see what "fixes" come about to the numerous bugs that plague this GG "Revan-killing" team (no NS pun intended).

Never attribute malice to what can be explained with stupidity.

I think there is an interesting philosophical debate here. Should Hanlon's be amended to say "Never attribute malice to what can be explained with stupidity unless there is a profit motive"?

Cause here's the thing. This isn't a one time occurrence. Over the course of 3 years a company that is making 100s of millions of dollars off this game has committed a dozen or more potentially ethically questionable actions that have been shrugged off with Hanlon's razor each time. Are we to believe that this highly successful venture is run by such staggeringly stupid people that they are unable to learn from previous mistakes and repeat history on a frequent basis? That's somewhat mind boggling.

I agree. But it is worth noting that some of the "repeat" mistakes are by different CG executives. They've changed in the time some of have been playing. They will change again.

All of that said, the recent statement from CG that "everything is pretty much is WAI" forces me to withdraw my above comment. There will be no fixes. This time it was more than "ethically questionable" - it was deceitful.

CG clearly intended to mislead people on this one - all along. From the comments about GG "exceeding expectations" to the videos THEY released with GG's team crushing Revan team after Revan team.

The more mind boggling thing is this - why be misleading? The original GMY wasn't meta changing - but people loved it anyway. People geared up garbage jedi just to get him. I have Eeth Koth at level 75 g9 because of that event - back in the day - before there were better options.lol People don't like to support (financially) a company that lies, misleads and ignore their customers (I believe EA has won a specific award...twice that would support that point). But people will happily drop money when they feel like they are helping build a better game - not just lining the pockets of people trying to trick and deceive them. That's why I was p2p for the first year and half I played - the team listened, the improvements and their attempts to improve were legitimate. Were they always perfect? No. But at least there was a sense of the developers and the players working together to make a better Star Wars game.

That all changed - as has my financial support. I am not going to name names or point fingers, but things are different now. GG and his disingenuous "rework" is just the latest example. And you are correct - this CG team no longer gets the benefit of the Hanlon's razor doubt. The complete lack of transparency, communication and honesty makes that impossible. And in many ways, that's more disappointing than frustrating.
