SOE are actually a semi-decent company when it comes down to it, the customer service has always been unreliable though. SOE created a great game with the Pre-CU environment, and even the aftermath of the CU was a great game, but it was actually Lucas Arts involvement and there argument that certain loved classes like Creature Handler, Scout and Bio Engineer were not "iconic" enough for a Star Wars game. And I love sitting in a camp I had made myself overlooking the water falls of Theed.
Things I thought were much better before......
The fighting was better. You could make as many special attacks you wanted, but it drained all of your stats. This made it very important to have tactics and such.
There were skills, not levels. With skills you could choose what to do, there were 32 professions, and you could be half a pikeman and a master Teräs Käsi. It made you feel like you decided your own characters abilities instead of the game limiting you to the level system where everyone gets the same skills.....
Medics has become pretty useless. There is no longer any need for buffs, healing (cause every profession can heal themselfs) or doctoring of wounds....
No CH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The professions they erased was so damn good, they were my favourite, like TK, CH, CM.....
The armor limits....
Those are the ones I can think of at the moment. It seems like they changed the game from good to a wannabe WoW game. When my friend told me about the CU and the update, I was like "WTF, WoW".....

The games still fun and playable, sadly the community has gone to hell with all the elitism crap of the Jedi profession. SWG is like a victim of the PT, the game is crippled under all those that watched it who want to become Anakin, leaving the game rather bland and un-diverse.
It's not fair to blame the PT. It IS fair to blame people who want to play in an OT setting yet insist on being Jedi, and also fair to blame those who made that possible.

Sadly alot of them want to play in a KOTOR/PT setting, its been said many times before and there are many who would just go along with that as a necessary change.
I'm still a smuggler however, and in a few months with the smuggler revamp I'll finally be able to smuggle, I'm already knocking off the Bounty Hunters as they come knocking (unfortunately they shoot first).
