There is little point on me arguing against the NGE. The forums are rife with enough negative comments and posts regarding cancelled accounts. Clearly dumbing down the game for the sake of "focus groups" and "steep learning curves" has alienated the overwhelming majority of veteran players, myself included. The richness and variety of professions truly let you live your own Star Wars story, but that is in the past now and what we are left with is a Cliff Notes version of a rich mythology.
Given this simplification, this boiled down witches brew you claim the fanbase asked for, I ask what your real intentions are with this game? A number of sites now show "Star Wars Galaxies" as a forthcoming title for the PS3. Is it your intent to simplify this game enough so that console players can join?
And I would agree with a number of posts that furiously stated the complete and total slap in the face to only provide responses to questions through Slashdot. There are literally hundreds of questions going unanswered on your forums. Paying customers deserve answers. The real tragedy in all this how poorly you communicated with your own customers, which in the end, is what is going to kill this game.
"The game you knew, gone it is, replaced by the NGE."
