if everybody who was unhappy with this game quit. ud have no ques for ur dalies, no buyers for ur crafted mats, no pvp to que with, no pfs. ud have nobody. u realize that right? that this IS an Online Multiplayer game, and not a solo game. regadless hm square and yoship try to peddle that.

but heres wat ill do. ill sub when content drops, and ill unsub when its gone, and ill show square that my subscription is only based on the content he provides. and that im unwilling to pay for downtime or mediocrity. and if everybody did this.. lemmi tell u.. this games devs would be bricking it and thing WOULD change
Again, yes. You're correct, you have a right to complain. That's the point. You have a certain opinion of how the game should change to be better. You offer your advice, it's ignored. Then what? Give it again? And again? Definition of insanity?

As long as a company is making a profit, and you're not happy with the end product you purchased, you offer your advice on improvements, if they're not implemented, you stop going to said company. If enough people do so, then company loses profits, company makes improvements.

If you leave but most people stick around, then maybe you need to start thinking that maybe... just maybe... it's just you!

And yes, maybe they would put the game into maintenance mode, that's what happened to SWToR, I still enjoyed it for what it was and left as soon as I was done with it. But judging by how they handled 1.0 - 2.0 and how Blizzard handled the WoW Exodus, if indeed your issues a valid and enough people agree, leaving is your best course of action, they'd probably fix it.
