This is what I'd like to see happen...

I'm not a quitter, I like the game. Hell I've spent a lot of money on this game, I'm writing this just because but there are some things that I'd love to see.
1) Dungeon boss battles that require strategy, not mob clearing (unless it's part of said strategy), it's frustrating to get into a boss fight thinking that you can clear mobs then focus on the boss, only to have so many mobs spawn you're left just kiting them in circles while your CW, GWF, or TR focus the boss, and then you get to use all your pots, it's expensive and makes me sad.
2) Dungeon fights that focus on the battles and not on finding exploits to make them beatable by the people that have the gear score required to enter them. I mean, if you can get into the dungeon it makes sense that with a decent amount of effort you can beat it.
3) Maybe just a little more purple drops from boss fights. You know, so my wife can get her GS up since she can only play about one dungeon a week, her being in school and all.
4) The new classes, I'd love to play them, but I can wait.
5) Maybe instead of being reactionary to complaints, take the time to actually do bigger fixes that have been tested so we don't have patches breaking other things when they're trying to fix something else.
6) Make the dungeon que system move a little faster, I don't usually have to PUG but when I do it'd be nice to get into a group within the hour of dungeon delves.
Okay, that's all. I know it's probably been said before. I'm not angry, I just think these things would make it more enjoyable for myself, and perhaps others too.

and yes, second post i agree too.
SWTOR has really nice "pve" system, that requires a lot of teamwork and strategy. pve battels of up to 16 ppl and a lot strategy going.
However, I quit swtor 4 months ago after playing 3months, when the game got a bit boring, and the pvp there is just dumb and 5348058034x unbalanced.
ppl just dont die after all if have 2 healers on each team.

Let me ask you this and it may sound negative but I'm being realistic here: Why would Crytic wanna do all that you suggested as they are making tons of money right now given the way the game is at the moment. You said it yourself, you invested a lot of money into it already and you will continue to do so whether or not they consider some of your suggestions. The chances are they will not care about your thought. Just keep paying is all they care about and on behalf of Crytic team, thank you for your support.
Fact is it's a difficult balance between Cryptic who are purists and PWE who are vampires. Cryptic is trying to build a game that forces you to actually play, thats one of the reason they have made some of the changes they have. Instead of buying the experience you have to earn it by playing though. On the other hand PWE is a carcass sucking vulture who only wants a profit. Granted keeping the game running is expensive and I fully sympathize, especially when the game is worth the money.
PWE isn't going to care. This is a painful truth. Cryptic, however, loves to see these kinds of posts and will run with these ideas a lot faster since it isn't some little child crying about how we didn't get his way. This is a positive and constructive post that the dev's would actually listen to.
Point is, even though PWE owns Cryptic. . .PWE IS NOT CRYPTIC. I have faith in the Cryptic team. Not so much PWE but you have to understand they area business, and need to survive.
In a way, if you look back at what you typed there, to me it's an oxymoron.
Cryptic is owned by PWE and will do PWE's bidding period. Anything above-and-beyond will be dumped to the bottom of the list and Cryptic will do so.
No it's not an oxymoron. You don't understand how corporations work. The amount of control varies from company to company, but whole owned subsidiaries have a great deal of autonomy. The home office doesn't micromanage day to day operations or very low level decisions. The home office provides guidance and overall direction and goals (aka the corporate vision). It's the job of the subsidiary's CEO (Jark Emmert in Cryptic's case) to make sure they work towards the corporate goals. But it's the CEOs and upper managements decisions on how to achieve those goals. (I used to work in Corporate America. During one 6 month period. My team got introduced to 8 different new division managers as we got reorg'ed, transferred and sold among different subsidiaries. And the funny thing is my day to day job didn't change one bit.)
#6 is a population balance problem that I'm not sure is ever solvable. This game, like many other RPGs, depends for its grouping mechanics upon a variation of the heal/tank/dps division of activities. The "tank" activity is not really relevant here, having been replaced with "kite" and "control" activities. In any case, the ability to carry out any of these activities is largely divided amongst the various classes, with some clearly more suited to certain activities than others. Party formation from the "queue" is accomplished when the party makeup includes players for each role. Therein lies the uncontrolled variable - the players. The players will decide what it is they find fun. They will change their opinion often. The end result is that no MMORPG with defined roles can ever achieve population balance in all facets of the game and can only temporarily achieve it in any one facet.
I've tended to think it would be a good idea to avoid introducing new classes in order to try to achieve balance with the existing set. With further thought, there is no point even trying to achieve balance. No matter how much effort is put into trying to achieve balance, the player base will upset such effort, either in their quest for advantage or in their quest for novelty. So, will the players be willing to spend more in their quest for advantage or will they spend more in their quest for novelty? It's probably worthwhile to attempt both approaches.
Well, you can still buy BiS gear off of TP (enchantments.) Nobody cares about armor, it's currently not hard to get at all, its the expensive enchantments that people want. and pay money for. Kinda sad that non-paying or decently paying players are restricted to <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> enchantments no matter how much they play.
