I find the type 3 body type is the best. I use the type 3 for my sith Mara and it looks bad *** with the DS effect. Evan if I use the mask on my Revanite Avenger armor set.
If you don't rush to max lvl and play end game progression then waiting might be the way to go. Theres a lot to do with the stories for the 8 classes and as stated above war zones and space missions and Galactic Fighter play. Save a bit and wait for the expansion to hit then maybe if something catches your eye on the Cartel Market you can throw a few bucks at some CC's and you won't have spent more than what you would have on SoR and you'll have that much more
Look for in game achievements that reward cartel coins or if your a subscriber you can wait until you get your monthly CC's. That's what I try to do, I'm not sure but the achievements that reward CC's might be repeatable on multiple characters.
Sorry to hear that, as was mentioned put a ticket in requesting your characters back. Also look at what server your on, Harbinger is always in a good state for number of players. Good luck with your characters!
For my Sorce I just can't seem to pull away from my Purple chrystal. On my mara I always go with Red, especially because it matches the Revanite sets I use on him and Jeesa. I would like to try something as close to white as possible for my sorce because he is white and black for his gear. Any suggestions on a Chrystal that's close to white?
There is also a time priority thats used when dealing with developers and such which will be taken into account and the game will evolve with that in mind
I've found that tje Harbinger is the way to go, and I have to admit I do get help for missions I'm having trouble with or for heroic dailies. I also try my best to jump in when I can to help others. There's some great players in the Harbinger community.
Check the GTN for items that are hot sellers or sell for a nice profit. Then see what Cartel packs they come in and buy with your CC's and sell it on the GTN to buy what you want with the credits on the GTN.
