I'm just going to assume you haven't played in a quite a while. First off lets start with, "Hi I have a 60k T5U JHDC by dps setting parses, and am an active DPS League community member." Now I know you haven't played in quite a while because: * You can only earn 200 reputation xp with the hourly missions, and they nerfed it, you can only run that one 3 times a day before it starts rewarding 0 xp return until the next tier is unlocked. * Doing the Adv / Elite q's since season 11 reward 40% less xp, and significantly less dilithium. ISA / KASA / CSA can still be cleared in about 5 minutes or less on ISA / CSA with a good dps group, but they still have a 30 min CD. * Sector patrols, like Japori which were used to farm XP back in the day now share 30 min CDs, per sector. * 8K dilithium per day, per toon assumes you have the dilithium farming capability. A new player, with a t4 ship, pumping out less then 10k dps in a pug match, clearly doesnt. Also Dil conversion prices have been quite high lately, so good luck farming out that ZEN. * Your counter with in-game credits amused me. F2P players who didn't spend the $5 to unlock the EC credit cap removal would be stuck at 10 mil, which might get them a TR rifle. Second, crafted items are inferior to fleet weapons / gear. Third, we all know real dps comes from Lobi store console's and sets, at 200 lobi a pop, 4 lobi per box avg. Finally, good luck upgrading your weapons to MK 14 elite on an 8k a day dil cap. That won't even allow you craft the numerous upgrade components you need. * The quickest way to grind spec points these days is by the Admiralty system, but seeing as a new player wouldn't have the variety of ships to run those efficiently, I'll just assume you're one of those barely 10k pugs who have 9 points in driver coil. Have a great day!

Who needs the servers to be up when we have this entertaining thread? It's almost as good as general chat. It brings out the entitled whiners, those without a firm grasp on reality, and the never satisfied. I'm going to vent a little with my time and fill this post with some common sense, then imagine it's a brick I can throw at the vast majority's face, even though I know it won't sink in. To start out I wanted to mention to all you whiners, self-entitled instant gratification types, and socially inept that your proctologist has been trying to contact you, but your heads are shoved so far up your collective asses that you haven't been able to hear the phone ring. Now that I've added insult to injury, let's break down the reality of this situation. The server''s are down after a patch which are correcting bugs, addressing balancing issues, and it's taking longer then expected. Bioware and EA must suck right? Unfortunately none of you seem to have ever dealt with Nexon or Cryptic / Perfect World. If you had, then you'd realize that Bioware / EA actually are ahead of the curve in both fixes, resolution, and keeping it's players informed, not to mention having competent employees who are actively working to resolve the issue. If this game was run by Nexon or Cryptic / Perfect World then you could forget about extended maintenance updates, as you would have already filled your time with something else, because the game would be down for 24 hours minimum. After that super long extended maintenance, you'd either be staring at a black screen for an hour until you decided to reinstall the entire game for Perfect World / Cryptic. If you were really lucky you'd get in game, only to click a button on your action bar, only to have your game instantly crash. If this was Nexon...well we won't go there. Now let's address game play and barriers to entry. I've seen many of you post on every dev release, and many of you sound like a broken record each thread. Let's take the level 60 token bug thread for instance. Man Bioware / EA we should get our money back because you didn't anticipate every single infinite scenario that would affect each and every player in this game. Now for you instant gratification types, and the perpetual whiners, if you ever decided to get a real education, you'd have taken a Management Information Systems class, and realized that perfect code every time is illogical, unattainable, and inefficient. Instead of harping on that, lets change the focus to how Bioware / EA have been knocking down the barriers to entry for players and alternate toons, something that many MMOs these days would never think of doing. In KotFE we have legacy datacrons, saving time and effort. We have instant 60 characters so those with money but no time can still do end game stuff. We've had legacy reputation, something many other games still don't implement. They maximized our leveling capability, making it less grindy, while balancing planets so replayability and team leveling at any level are viable. They even maximized your credit potential with the weekly heroics. Now if you think all of that is a small feat, then please take this downtime to go download and install any perfect world game, Nexon game, or any other grindy Chinese / Korean style MMO. For sake of time, just go download Star Trek Online. After your 25 gig download, if you're lucky, you'll be able to play without crashing. In about a week when you reach endgame you'll realize the following: * You'll have to invest $50 real money to get an "endgame" ship allowing you to be on level with current endgame players. * You'll have to invest another $50 to get the fleet credits / dilithium to get "endgame" weapons / gear for your ship. * You'll spend 1 month real time to max out the reputation system, per reputation, per toon. You need each reputation system to maximize your DPS / Heals / Tanking. Did I mention there are now 8 different reputations to master,and they're all on a 20 hour CD per mission? * You'll spend another 3 months grinding out the specialization points you need to be bad *** end game. Oh but the devs decided that you need to spend more time and money in game, so all xp has been nerfed by 70% game wide, and the grind area's are on 30 minute shared cool downs. * Oh yeah....currently the dev's are re-re-releasing the end game gear in a higher tier for a possible 15% gain in ability / utility. That's another $50 for an upgraded version of the gear you already have. Now if you've stuck with this wall of text this long, please enlighten the rest of us veteran MMO players as to the true hardship of your current predicament. I'll make it easy for you and let you focus on 1 thing. Please enlighten us veteran Pre-NGE SWG players as to the predicament of your current hardship, especially since when we played SWG technology wasn't readily available to consumers as it is now, so we'd be waiting for a good 12 hours to download a major patch, if we were lucky, and it took us a year in real life time to run around force farting our lightsabers all over the place. /endrant
