OK so me and a few friends made in game, created a guild, a good guild with some nice people that ran it and we have a lot of members, unlocked everything as a group and the bank is stocked full, but currently times are tuff, My own time is currently limited so I passed on lead ( i'm still subbed) but I've been logging in 3 times a week to try an lead an op. Then the person that took over has some RL issues so has cancelled hi sub and passed lead back to me because no one else could and would take it, currently I have 3 of the original 6 officers playing and subbed, 2 of which are me and the wife, the last doesn't want lead and is also considering cancelling his sub for a bit. All the above are hoping to come back to the game latter this year when things have settled down but if me and the wife also cancel our sub, everything we have worked for together and saved for will be lost to a potential player who has no interest in the guild as a guild and may only play 1 day a month on the one toon he's in the guild with? Now I get the whole preferred status but building a guild is progression just like levelling a character, we have cartel market items that were bought with real money for the guild. Now Unless I stay subbed we all loose that? No other game I have ever played in over 20 years has had this mech, because its ridiculous and borders on blackmail imo and really needs to be looked at, otherwise what is the incentive to even bother making something you will loose.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've done that now too

(copy pasted this from Flashpoints, Operations, and Heroic Missions forums as it was suggested to post here) First I apologise if this has been posted before, I'm sure someone has but I couldn't find anything. So today I ran an MM FP, its a hard one but we get a group of lvl 75's, however it was impossible to kill the boss, mechanically everyone seemed to be doing everything right but we simply lacked the DPS, after a few tries and failing for the same reasons the group disbanded leaving me (tank) and one of the DPS, so I was going to que again but first I inspected the DPS, he had an irating of 168. I'm not going complain about them directly because well he just queued because he could and he was a nice person but in reality they had no business being in that flashpoint with that level of gear, and as a consequence it ruins everyone else's game. This really needs to be considered especially with the large range of flashpoints available to lvl 70+, hammer station and objective meridian for example require completely different lvls of DPS, healing and tanking (ignoring skill). Therefore surly it would be better to use I rating as the access requirement to be able to que for certain flashpoints instead of just level. thanks for reading

I like this idea, would certainly help smaller guilds that wish to do vet ops and stuff, ill shout you in game

have exactly same issue as op,

18 years now I've been playing mmo's and not once have I ever felt strongly enough to actually complain via the games forums and I am all too aware of what game releases can be like. Well this is my first ever complaint and all I will say is I'm disgusted with the customer service as a whole and the quality of the game after all the hype is completely pitiful. I'd love to make a list but really those who have posted before me in countless other threads have done a better job than i ever could. I have been waiting nearly 4 years for this game to be released, encouraged friends to come play and now I'm already leaving how sad is that .
