Teo you are sounding particularly jaded and cynical. I’ve listened to your podcast for awhile and completely understand your frustration however you have to realise that SWTOR is now a single player, linear “game”. I personally have unsubbed as 4.0 killed my guild and perhaps you should consider this as well. The writing was on the wall when George (the ops developer) was sent to Mass Effect. I appreciate the good fight you are fighting (I too would love 2 new ops but am resigned to them never coming) however as a podcast that prides itself on being balance your frustration is coming through as bitter.
