Comment I cant bring myself to beleive anything from SOE. (Score 1) 189

I played SWG from initial launch until last November when WoW came out and I have kept close track of the game even logging in from time to time dince I stopped playing. Over that time I have seem several cases where SoE community represantives blatantly misled their subscribers, the latest changes are just more in the long series of "mistakes" made by SoE. Initially there was a combat revamp was announced and litterally months went by with no news other than the community representitives defering problems and questions on balance and class fixes to the combat revamp. As months rolled by we came to learn that the revamp was not being actively worked, instead they were working on the JTL expansion. The line from SoE, sorry, we made a "mistake" we should have communicated better... Then the Jedi progression paths were changed, no more hologrind, yay we could go to the force sensative village and grind our way to Jedi. Initially to become a jedi you needed to master 5 random professions to become a jedi. The average player mastered 12 or so professions and had their Jedi slot opened to them. Soon after the holiday holochron gift people started noticing that they it was taking longer to become a Jedi, the average shot up to 20+ professions mastered before getting the Jedi slot. The entire time SoE represantitives swore up and down that nothing about becoming a jedi had changed. When the conversion process to the new Jedi path came out it was revealed that the number of professions had indeed changed and it required many more professions to be mastered to become a Jedi. More "We made a mistake" appologies. I dont think I need to go into all the "mistakes" and appologies that we had at the time of the CURB. Now this latest round of changes followed by the "We made a mistake" appologies. These are not isolated incidents but a behaviorial trend that is not showing any indication that it will change ever. Bewteen my wife and myself we have 3 active accounts, paid for JTL and Rage of Wookies expansions on all 3, but unlike SOE I am learning from my mistakes and taking corrective action and canceling them all. No hollow appologies and empty promises, just action.
