First time posting on a forum I have been an huge fan of this game for many years. This past year an a half has been the longest I have every subscribed. It was because of the people of the game that I have met. I was ready to stop playing a long time ago but its the friends I have made that have wanted to keep me going. That being said it is sad to see how this latest update has effected people. I know for a fact that two of my guildies have either given up wanting to contribute anything to the game anymore. Whether it is paying for a sub or commenting on the PTS as they feel that they were ignored. I have always been seeing the bright side of things but while I do see some good when it comes to this expansion I also have been seeing some bad. It hurts me to see my guildes that have put time and effort into this game, now don't even want to pay for the game or test the PTS server. I myself did try to see how it was going to be but got railed by a bug that couldn't be fixed. (Talking about the Flashpoint) Understandable it is trying to be fixed but now I can't finish the story because of it (Because I did finish it but the game still says I didn't.) It is sad to see alot of the fan base not liking this as you have hoped but at the same time there has to be something to happen to do better. If long time Veterans are turning away from the game. What makes new players want to play when they ask the veterans how is the game? My other gripe that I personally have is that the new leveling system is really making it hard to do MasterMode Flashpoints now. As someone who has played WoW and SWTOR, I must say WoW has you guys beat when it comes to item level locking. With everything at level 80 and some Flashpoints are harder in MasterMode (Lost island being one) Its frustrating to be in a group for Groupfinder to get in MasterMode Lost Island a level 75 with item rating 249 in it. It was impossible to heal it in Mastermode before 7.0 if you had 270 gear. What makes it ok to have that happen? or we fail because the DPS is not strong enough (Star Parse is a wonderful thing). My point is I understand you have to give us only a selected few for groupfinder and it has to be based off of the galactic seasons. But Might I suggest to implement a change to MasterMode Flashpoints (Even Operations if you wish) to have a certain requirement to even join it. I would be happy to give any suggestion you might need for it as with the new item level in place I can easily figure out what item rating should be required to play a certain flashpoint. When I get stuck with a group of people because someone can't do it due to their undergear and level its frustrating and it makes me not want to try and do it anymore and only do it with guild members because the constant frustration I am having being put in those situations. I really hope you guys do read this as this is some information that can be used to make the game better in the long run.

Was doing the new flashpoint and on the second boss when everyone died it would relocate us to a new spot and there is no way to leave the area. If you die you end up back in the same spot This will need to be fixed.
