I dont know if many of you have played SWG before but i think after the CU and NGE asking them to vote for SOE in a competition wasnt going to go down very well.
Just look at some of the replies in the thread.
I wonder why they didnt ask the Mxo boards 
The hell is TCG NGE and CU?
TCG = Trading Card Game
NGE = New Game Enhancements
CU = Combat Upgrade
The real down hill moment for SOE with SWG was introducing the NGE, after that all hell broke loose and major lost of subscriptions happened. SOE dug their own grave.
They have a card game? Like that Magic game? The hell? Thats just stupid.
Not only that, they charge you for cards!
I always get the crappy loot cards in all my boosters. 
Wait you have to buy the expansion and then buy the cards as well? Thats just beyond stupid and anyone who pays for that is stupid. Who in the hell came up with that idea in the SOE department? Who ever it is should be fired. That is just a terrible marketing stradegy. "Hey try Star Wars Galaxy for 15 bucks a month but if you want the full experince you gotta buy this card game expansion and buy the cards as well. No I promise its fun because you play a game while you play a game."
The CU - Was like CR 2.0 Being introduced to the game.
The NGE - They made Jedi a playable class in an era when they're meant to be extinct rumored to have cost SOE $70million in subscriptions over 4-5 years.
SOE launched a pack in which u can buy all the expansions and get an ingame vehicle for $9.99
The TCG you dont have to pay for and with an active sub they give you 5 free Boosters a month where you have a chance to get a loot card to claim an item ingame.
They've stopped releasing new items/structures ingame because the TCG is a gold mine, i know people who have spent $2000 in days on the TCG and then swapped the stuff ingame for credits.
It's the equivalent of Buying credits for money just the money is going through SOE.
