The problem is less about what the dev’s are doing now, and more about the way SOE handled the whole CU and NGE updates. Personally, i had less issue with the CU, but loading into the game after just after the NGE made it practically unplayable, and that is unforgivable. It was the equivalent of them coming along one day and taking away your car that your perfectly happy with, and replacing it with a clapped out old banger that no one wants… That’s the point. No one wanted the change, but SOE screwed it’s player base, and did it anyway and effectively shoved the game back into beta, but expected us to keep paying for it! You can’t treat customers like that, as they found out to there cost (i.e. dramatic drop in subscribers post NGE).

I went back a few months ago actually to have a look around, and i’ll grant you, they have made improvements since they destroyed the game with the NGE (although it is hard to see how they could have made it worse!)… However, given they were the ones that mangled the game into such a mess, it’s kinda difficult to give them credit for part-fixing something they broke in the first place!

If it was a free game or still in beta, i’d have been okay with such changes, but it’s not. Your paying a monthly fee for it.
