PS Concerns?

Yeah, I have ping worries and the like, but honestly, my biggest worry is that the game's going to be run like EQ, where GM events are extremely rare, and usually poorly-planned, uberguilds are allowed to bully smaller guilds and independants, and customer service is essentially non-existant. Granted, I think PlanetSide's design will contribute to lessening the need for SOE's laughable customer service... if you can even call it that. In my experience, it just consisted of sitting and waiting 4 hours for some surly GM to show up and tell you he can't help you.

I also worry about balance issues... as many of them went completely unresolved in EQ, although, thankfully, the former Verant is off destroying SWG, and not PS, so hopefully this dev team, which seems much cooler, actually will be. But I still can't help buy have this horrible feelings that it's going to be EQ: In Space... MAXes will end up like warriors - necessary for squads, but complete gimps on their own. Dropship pilots will be like healing classes -- necessitated by tedium, but otherwise largely undesirable. Infantry will be like bards -- very flexible, but the only thing they're really good at is dying.

...hopefully it's just apprehension and there's no truth to it.
