It isn't ridiculous to be worried that something you think you'll really enjoy might go wrong. It really sounds like there are alot of jaded SWG players that are really interested in FOOL. I don't blame any former SWG player that has trouble trusting developers. SOE ruined what is IMO the best MMORPG of all time.
That being said, I'm sure it stresses the **** out of the development team to have people suggesting, demanding and trashing things about this game and they haven't even released anything yet. Another drunk conquistador conquering the governor's ball...
