I was quite frustrated with the recent GCD animation changes, and I must say that I am very relieved to see this kind of fast response to a common concern among the players. I am really looking forward to these new UI features, especially the cooldown timer! It's like a little extra surprise. Keep up the good work BioWare, listening and responding to the players will get you a long way. Also looking forward to the new UI customization options in 1.2! (And all the other good stuff ofcourse)

I agree with this! There is a reason why around half of the player base roll on PvP servers. What is the point of constantly being flagged if each faction only have their own isolated areas that rarely crosses paths? And what is with the abundant number of guards and immersion breaking walls? People can take care of themselves.

I wish I could turn off the "smart cam" as well, it really annoys me. But I dont think it will be long before we will see an option to turn it off. In a developer chat a week ago, it was mentioned that the Smart Cam option along with macros and target-of-target is a work-in-progress. The chat transrcipt can be found here: http://www.forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gaming-Gadgets/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic-Developer-Live-Chat-Transcript/m-p/406744#M14937 And yeah, the ticket key (§) can be really frustrating in PvP and Boss fights.

As a Republic player I began to notice this around level 19-20 when I finished the last mission on Corusant. I then went to Taris and was a little surprised to already seem above that planets level range (16-20). I felt that I had to avoid getting too much XP and skipped about half of the content on that planet. There were even a couple of guys who asked in the general chat "What are all you level 21+ guys doing here? Why dont you move on?" I am now level 25 and not even half way thru Nar Shaddaa, and have recently realised that most of my missions have been green since level 15. I quess it is just because there is so much fun stuff to do, I've been thru a couple of flashpoints, did my fair share of duty to the Republic in warzones, and tried out the space combat as well. (Which I found too give a surprisingly generous amount of XP I might add - a little too much perhaps) Crafted a lot too! I am also the kind of person who wants to do all the missions in an area before moving on, so I definately wouldn't mind if they turned down the xp gain a little.

Very nice work! I am gonna use it as soon as I get my crafting skills going. Thanks for sharing this with us!
