I plan on leaving because I feel that the sheer number of idiots I have to deal with in-game -- or on the forums -- on daily basis will dramatically increase to above tolerable levels. Your post is a good example of the type of "noise" I hope to avoid by seeking "greener pastures." Do you still believe that I am "lying in your face?"

I plan on leaving when the gates open to allow F2P players to join existing P2P servers; which I expect they will. Call me elitist, if you like, but it will not change my mind.

It has always been that way. Even viewing an item for a different class of the same faction results in a different appearance. I never understood the reasoning because, it seems like, it would create more work for the art team and take away the ability, as an example, for a dark side Sentinel to look like his Sith counterpart (Marauders).

I transferred one character over already with the express purpose of monitoring the GTN to learn what is selling -- at a profit. On my destination server, The Harbinger, Unusual Eggs seem to sell relatively quickly and the cheapest I have seen is 99Kcr; this may change over time, naturally. I also discovered some crafting, since I have all crafting classes covered, and harvesting opportunities. Of course, the easiest way to make money in this game is to grind dailies with your 50 but I do not have a 50 nor do I like to grind so I have to investigate other means.

I am hoarding Unusual Eggs before migrating off of "my" server; and I mean that, I rarely see anyone else -- even on the Fleet! I feel like the Irishman in "Braveheart" refering to Ireland as "My island." Like the OP, I would (also) like to know if there is anything else I should be doing to take advantage of the lack of competition; like collect chests in PvP areas.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. We have a 4th person in our (tiny) guild but he is not a regular player so we will just have to wait for him to login to use this feature; we are on a "ghost town" server so I doubt other people use the Group Finder anyway. I was thinking one way we could "control" the destination Flashpoint -- and still earn the rewards -- is to form a group of 3 and select ALL options then the 4th person, currently outside the group, selects a specific option and queues up. Hopefully, the GF will match us but since the 4th person only selected 1 option that is the option it will use.

What would stop people from using a "copy" of their character to dup items and credits?

If we start the Flashpoint "manually", do you know if we will receive Group Finder rewards for it? The reason I ask is that I usually 3-man all Flashpoints (and heroic content) and was hoping we could also earn Group Finder rewards. If we had to find a 4th person -- just to earn the Group Finder rewards -- it would not be worth using it (the GF) plus we (currently) play on a "ghost town" server so would be next to impossible to find one anyway.

Is it possible to start a flashpoint with the Group Finder with 3 or less characters or does it only start when you have a full group (of 4 characters)?

+1 to Wilhelm Scream Oh, and more cowbell!

You need to complete chapter 1 on, at least, one character to create your Legacy. Once you create your Legacy, you will earn your first Inheritance item (main hand weapon) and can send mail to alts of the opposing faction on the same server so it is worth doing -- if you have alts.

I hate it too. I am an alt-aholic crafter with no 50's on a dead server so I have little money to spare and no easy way to generate more. Making all of the components, the kit and the augment, are no problem but I cannot afford to install the kit so I stopped making them!

I am assuming it is for an Imperial quest; my imp characters are not high enough for Tatooine yet.

For the reasons reasonable people posted above, use /ignore. The only thing BW will do if you report people for LFG in general chat is the /facepalm emote.

If you had to do every quest available on a planet to be ready for the next planet, levelling an alt would be a(n even more) painful and mind-numbing experience. At low to mid-levels, at least, you can "leapfrog" planets by just doing the class quests, some heroics and the flashpoint before moving onto the next planet. With 2 characters in the same faction, this is ideal, because you can still experience all of a planet's content without being forced to repeat it. That said, I understand the "completist" argument too and wish there was a way to slow down -- or stop -- XP gain. Perhaps, in the future, they will implement something like "alternate advancement" (ala EQ/EQ2) where you can split your XP between levelling your class and optional skills/talents/powers?
