But see here's the thing, I wasn't referring to anyone still subscribing. For someone who just loves the game so much they will play it no matter what isn't referenced in the equation.
I'm talking about people who have already left, possibly picked WoW and Rift back up, but would have gone back to SWTOR provided ample options to *insert activity here* (PvE, PvP, etc) Providing no way for them to play at the highest level of the game is a very strong handed and frankly, stupid tactic.
Those people would rather pay $15 to receive the amount of content they do from other games.
