To Obi-Wan and Yoda you listen!

If you're referring to my question to atmsalad, I did say after Deaths Baine pointed to your post that I somehow missed it. Sorry if I didn't make that clear, but I never assumed that you were lying.

First of all, your response doesn't make any sense. Second of all, the suspicion is generated from the cronyism and secrecy that's taken place over the years. Don't blame me for how you decided to run this "community," comrade.

In my long, long experience with the "community", I have found that it was often a group outside "the elite" that were the instigators in the various fights. Now, not everyone has responded the right way in such situations, but that really doesn't change that being involved is clearly a thankless job. Being involved with the V-sets is in no way justification for the amount of insults that they usually ignore, until there is a break in the blasted. Which usually leads to me doing a clean up on this board.

That said, the point of this thread isn't to attack others. Let's bring it back on topic.

I do forget about the one word in the filter.

Personally i view this as an out to be honest. As a lot of people in the know want things moved back to SWMGamers anyways. I understand where you are coming from, but you also had people back you up, As i did. To just abandon the forums is just a step in the wrong direction for the death of the game, or at the very least a step towards another big break in the gamers that are left.

honestly i am surprised that the balance committee has not issued a release with a statement along the lines of:

We have heard the complaints, issues, and understand the wants and desires of the community, unfortunately this matter is not as simple as some have laid it out to be. we are looking at ramifications of our actions such as, will the changes to the mouse droid just lead to rodian brutes, or ewoks being turn in the back, will the change to mouse droids providing cover hurt melee more then shooters doing the opposite of what we want.
We are also discussing changing boba fett to 55 points and dropping wrist cable as it is just not needed.
We have also looked into changing scoring, gambit, etc to make 3 point wins more important in an attempt to speed up play..

honestly at least then the community gets a sense of actual ideas being kicked around and steps that may be taken in the future instead of, we are working on it wait til January.

oh absolutely on the if things don't go the public's way. but on the accurate break down, man it should be easy to compile a list of talking points, even if it is just here are some of the things being considered then put out some bullet points and it may go a long way to clear a lot of this up.

Don't really know what to say but I'll try. If the balance team puts out a statement on what they are working about, the same people calling out for them to do so are going to be the same ones that are complaining that their specific concerns weren't included. Maybe this is a case of the frustrated players just being frustrated that they aren't on the balance team to begin with and thus nothing the balance team does or says will appease them the slightest, because if they don't get their way, you can be sure they'll start posts complaining and posting threads voicing their complaints and being conspiratorial and such and leading to a more toxic atmosphere on the forums that already seems like has come into existence within this year. To those people, I urge them to be patient.

There have been so many posts complaining or demanding things be done in the last few months, it is really starting to irritate me, because for a long time this place used to be a forum where ideas could be discussed/debated civilly and responsibly. I'd like it to return to that way, but I don't blame the balance team or the designers from catering to the demands that a few people are pushing very vocally, because honestly nothing is ever enough for some people. The instant gratification social epidemic has reared its ugly head, and I for one don't want Bloomilk turning into what, for example, the Star Wars The Old Republic forums have turned into or pretty much any other major game's forums have turned into. Its bad for the image of the game, and a bad experience for new players just starting in this game.

my hatred of the current mouse droid is about the game

This is so true. If I were coming into this game, the way many of us (definitely including myself) at times come across on the forums (especially now) would probably be the single biggest turn-off. Not the number of pieces, or constricted shooter-heavy meta, or the mouse droid problem.

Also, it's funny how much this thread has gotten off topic:
