The game was announced in July 2008 by Cryptic and was probably in development way before then (disregarding the previousl developers work) so its hardly been rushed. No one really knows if it will be "ready" until February and I think its a bit unfair to judge it by previous games standards.

That said, I just hope the beta testers out there actually do what they are supposed to do and GIVE FEEDBACK to the developers about problems and bugs, so then it might actually be ready on release.

I think too many beta testers are only there to get a preview of the game before anyone else then complain that it isn't good enough and stop playing, rather than doing their job which is to help out the devs!

I COMPLETELY agree with you. I have become completely disenchanted with the MMO community, and the moronic mindset that has come to open, and closed beta's

No one is willing to be a part of the process anymore. People just log in. Say WoW is better, and leave after downing the game completely to all their peers.

Lots of Champions beta testers gave amazing feedback that could have helped make Champions a much better game if Cryptic had the time/resources/vision to listen to and implement the feedback. Sadly, that didn't happen. I wouldn't be so quick to blame the beta testers.

I also agree, I think too many people just cynical about any new MMO. They hold it up against established MMOs that have gone through many patches and upgrades. No MMO at launch is perfect some are worse than others, not even the top-dog WOW. Does anyone else remember it's growing pains?

I too am disappointed that some features are not going to be in STO: Captian's quarters/ready room, Klingon starting areas, and others. Hopefully some of them can be added later. I'm not in the beta and I didn't buy a CO subscription.

Sure I've been burned before by launching MMOs but I hope that STO is good at launch but there seems more cynical/bitter people every MMO launch.

I would love to give feedback, but 2 hours a day and only twice a week when iam not home or or have other plans kind of makes it hard to provide usefull feedback.
