So the game looks great runs great
Has free content instead of Gamewrecks
This is heresy

I don't have the game because IMO it worths only with season pass (for added contents etc) BUT as most users prive is a negative factor for buying it. Visually looks excellents maybe gameplay is good too for MMO fps but Jesus, so overpriced.
That's why there are few gamers playing it.

No, there are so few gamers playing it because the game is terrible. During closed alpha/beta a bunch of us complained about how imbalanced the Hoth map was and how terribly designed the game (especially the weapon system) was in general. Open beta rolled out and there was literally zero difference, they changed almost nothing from closed.
There is practically no depth to the combat in terms of shooting mechanics. Usually most games supplement that by adding a class mechanic, except they didn't do that either. Want to join a game and play with a friend in a squad? Nope no squads either.
Game is terrible and I'm glad it's failing. Good graphics shouldn't give a garbage game a pass. Even if it was $20 I still wouldn't have bought it.

I mean the actual game is fun to play because it's Star Wars, but that gets old quickly considering as Denial said the game is so unbalanced.
