I remember that, and I left the game for awhile, but they've really made it a lot better since. The Cartel Market and going F2P actually saved that game in the end and they saw player population come back a bit, plus their two expansions they've done have been really good. Personal opinion is I think Activision is worse than EA. EA wants their microtransactions, but other than that they allow Bioware to do some really good stuff with SWTOR and also with the Mass Effect/Dragon Age series, where as I think Activision cockblocks Bungie on everything and says they can't do it unless they can charge money for DLC. Activision has a long history of being too "hands on" with its developers.
