Comments, anyone? I find the question/answer regarding PvP to be interesting, personally.

My PvP toon is Krov, of The House of Snoo. Beware of my Hegh'ta of doom.

What was so great about their response to PvP?
All they said was, "Oh, yeah. We know it sucks. The Neverwinter team is working on some stuff, though."
Great, glad to hear that STO's PvP has been completely axed and their keeping an eye on another dev team. That'll surely save PvP!

That is what I found interesting. . .the vagueness of the response, and the lack of promise to it.
Thats nothing new, so not sure whats so "interesting" about the same old same old.
Perhaps I should direct them to this image for EVE: http://www.restokin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Sensory_Overload.jpg

Yeah, I found that kinda amusing as well. To be fair, though, there's a learning curve towards learning to PvP without getting slaughtered repeatedly. Maybe that's what was meant.
PvE learning curve tough? Ha! Don't make me laugh.
In this article, Dan Stahls is complaining about the rating system, and especially the average marks STO got at launch. Indeed, these reviews are unchanded since day one.
I've been looking for more recent reviews to see if pros think the game has improved, and I found one very interesting because it relates pretty well about the current state of the game and expresses what many player says with their own words on the forums, in polls, etc.
The game has changed since its launched, and there's been a lot of improvements, and it's still pretty far away from a genuine Star Trek experience, and it doesn't deserve more than 5.9/10 according to this reviewer. I'm not a pre-F2P player, but I know many of them and I know that many critical issues have been adressed, but many major ones haven't.
Sadly, I'm not sure the game would deserve better grades because what the article stated is true: most of the new content and queues are meaningless - except stories, and this might explain why people are so badly asking for more FEs. Season 6 made this even more visible, it's like we were given "content" to appease us but I sometimes feel that we were given S6 queues like you give some food to a dog to make him silent for a few minutes. Season 6 added a lot of meaningless and mindless content. Indeed, nothing in season 6 will require you to use your brain. You can queue up to fight some klingon ships, some romulans, some breen, but why would you do that anyway? There's zero purpose beyond farming and getting gear/marks.
What the game needs is a lot more depth but instead of that we're given new ships with nothing new to do and when we're given some new content it's just repetitive and boring queues without anything at stake. I know the devs want to create a game for very casual players, but it doesn't mean it has to be stupid and without any purpose, and for this I believe the game wouldn't deserve a better rating above average+. So, actually, the current review system can do great justice to MMOs, if you are really ready to listen to it.
inb4 foundry: no, it's not the core of the game and it will remain something apart because it's not the kind of stuff a mmo needs.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
How DARE anyone saying this isn't the best game EVER written ??
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
What are the odds that the author is or got his information entirely from forum ragers?
Also, that article came out in January, when SWtOR was still new and shiny, before everyone started abandoning it in droves.

Very good review. Just a shame the game will never be a true star trek experience and will only be a grubby cash grab until the lights are turned off.
It's obvious he played the game. He also read the forums to see if the playerbase is happy with the current state of the game (and I know for sure several games with a happy playerabese). When you want to write a review you have to consider every information you have.

No, they probably got it from playing the game instead of Dan Sthal grooming the reviewer with made up questions and duranium shadows
The only people that can say Lockboxes/Lobi have improved STO are the devs and PWE so to Dan, seriously - be careful what you wish for - you might get it.
How could it have come out in January when he references S6 coming out a few months ago?
Also, did he just make a big reveal about S7 being about the romulans or has that been known for a while?
A forum post should be like a woman's skirt, long enough to cover the subject matter but short enough to keep things interesting.
No big surprise really, seeing as it's excactly how STO is treated these days by TPTB.
