...then why are you still playing? Or paying for their games?

Sorta like those who constantly complain about their ex-boy / girl friend obsessively, referring every life event back to them. Always mentioning to anyone within earshot how much they hate them and never want to see them again.

Breaking up is hard to do. *pities the ex-SOE lovers*

Someone once did a study that found that siblings who took to physical fighting between themselves tended to grew up closer than those who didn't.

When people are angry and vocal, that isn't the time to worry about the game. It's when silence dominates that the end is near.

Fun anecdote to that. My mother never allowed my sister and I to fight.
I really dislike her. We don't talk to each other much at all.

My husband grew up in a family where fighting was utterly ignored. He has 3 brothers and a sister. We push, shove, and frog each other regularly. Every day is horseplay in my house. *laughs*

I believe the answer to that is that we like the product, but not what they are doing with it. Eq2 has an unbelievable amount of potential but they keep wrecking it piece by piece.

For instance, imagine if the game had been like EoF is from the start. This game would most likely have stolen a whole heap of WoW's subscribers right there, but due to numerous balance issues, management not being able to tell what their target audience is and various other issues it came at the worst possible time.

Personally EoF was the final nail in the coffin for me and i already canceled my account, however i keep visiting forums and stuff just in case they happen understand what they are doing sometime in the future. I might even consider coming back.

Actually thats more of a rant against Eq2, not SOE but you get the point. They need to get their heads out of their asses and realize exactly what they want to do instead of as we say here "turn the coat toward the wind" (which would be about the same as "following the stream": instead of deciding on something and stick with it they cant make up their mind and try to keep everyone happy, failing at all points). They started this game as a group/raid game but somewhere along the road they realized that "other games" had more solo content and instead of sticking to their initial decision they try to "revamp" (SOE's favorite word) it to streamline the game. (I'm not complaining about the soloers or the raids, I'm simply saying that they can't make up their minds)

Thats my reason anyway

So should every person that does not support George Bush leave the country? Of course not. EQ2 != SOE.

I can enjoy the product, I can, as general joe schmoe off the street, find entertainment enough to justify my $15 a month.

I can also believe that the company as a whole is mismanaged, or that individuals within that company are unsuited for their jobs. I can find that the product they put out is, ultimitly, acceptable for the price, but at the same time I believe it could be better.

These are not mutually exclusive terms, and saying "well if you don't like it just quit" is not only childish, but rather idiotic.

So if you love SOE soooo much, why aren't you sucking up at EQ2players like the rest of them?
