Lies and Broken Promises

So, GW was supposed to be tuned to take less time. It takes more time than before the two tweaks. The June 29th tweak was only supposed to affect the final few nodes and not be a total rollback. It affected as early as node 6 and is harder than before the first update, if anying. John Salera claimed the initial tuning was 'mostly successful' then undid the entire change.

Every single person in my guild hates GW. Every last one. Not a single person says they enjoy it, and that's coming from a group who is fine with the scoundrel and ewok events.

Burnout is going to result from this. It's inevitable. Players feel that they have to do GW every day to stay competitive, yet they hate it, find it tedious and frustrating, and that builds every single day.

Now the latest community update says no changes are planned. That tells us several things: We've been lied to (see comments about it taking less time, being mostly happy with original changes, and the stealth update being minor tweaks to only the final few nodes). Devs do not keep their promises (it is in no way quicker or less tedious than previous to both tunings). And, most importantly, OUR FEEDBACK IS WORTHLESS.

The game is about to start hemmhoraging players from burnout and frustration. The only question is how many will leave before CG/EA's wallet gets hit hard enough for them to care.
