Nobody is arguing with you over the positive points of having a functional GTN, they are just highlighting the fact that you did not read you would be buying a neutral GTN on your ship and complaining about it will not change that. Maybe you can put a ticket in for 'Buyers Remorse'. I'd guess that considering the amount of players that actually spent the money for a ship GTN, which I imagine is a tiny percentage of the playerbase, addressing this issue is low priority compared to others that effect far more players. However, the rumor that BW will link all the GTN's is recognition that they know the GTN economies are faltering by all being separate. Basically, they overestimated each servers population from the start, which directly effects the estimated amount of use that each factional and then the neutral GTN's would get. As we all know, especially if you are a crafter, with server populations generally dropping from the release-level hype, this has led to a corresponding drop in use of the GTN's. This is further compounded by the 'teething' problems that the GTN's appear to have that are not yet resolved. BW need to make using the GTN's fun and engaging, and I suspect when the official announcement comes out regarding the linking of the GTN's that BW also announce some new or improved GTN features to re-engage people. If not they are up **** creek without a paddle.

Hello Bioware, my question for the dev team for 1.3 relates to player titles, as these provide added customisation for players and the removal of many from the beta to live versions is confusing as it effectively reduced player choice. The logic behind removing so many appears vague, and there are inconsistencies in what was removed. For example, male Bounty Hunters can no longer attain the title 'Baron', yet female BH's can still attain 'Baroness'. Also are there no titles for epic time-consuming feats such as collecting every single holocron (including the +10) in the game. Will you be clarifying the issue around missing/inconsistent player titles (and hopefully putting them back) in 1.3?

There was no suggestion by me of lowering Social levels. There was no suggestion by me of making anything 'stupid-monkey easy'. There was no suggestion by me about not being able to find a group. Original suggestion was bind all Social Points across a legacy. For your reference, I direct you to the first post in the thread.

Really. How interesting.

Valor tied to legacy was not my original suggestion, so I support what you say above. Social Points tied to Legacy is the way forward, and is being considered apparently.

The ability to add an augment slot is, and should be, about player choice and customisation. It is not, and should not be, about how X crafter can make/will lose money. Player choice and customisation is a key way to attract new players, and are great features that will retain existing players. This can only be a good thing, and BW appear to know that. All the complaints and doomsayers talking and speculating about how this will cause crafters to lose out come down to one thing: greed. Crafters can make a multitude of items, and this is one tiny aspect of crafting. It will not bankrupt any crafter. Life will go on. People should be happy that others love and enjoy the game, and not always look to exploit a situation or view it in zero-sum terms when it's not. Adding an augment slot should be achievable by any +10 level player with any craft. After all, we all pay to play and enjoy this game, well at least I know I do.

End-game Magenta schematics drop from world bosses on Hoth and Belsavis, with drops also reported on Nightmare Pilgrim. Mid-game Magenta schematics drop from Tatooine, Alderaan and Nar Shadaa wb's. This is a recent change and I can personally confirm for the Nar Shadaa wb.

Thanks again Heaven, you have earned a Gold Star, which is bound to your legacy. Spend it wisely!

All commendations earned should be bind-to-Legacy. That would get my vote.

I concur, binding Commendations to Legacy makes perfect sense and should have been a feature from the start. That would enable greater player choice and customisation and ultimately is another reason to stay subscribed. It's all about choice, and hopefully someone at BW will implement it.

Oh they are? Great to know, thanks. I do follow the dev notes and Q/A etc but missed that point. Do you know if they are also considering commendations as bind-to-Legacy?

Dear Bioware, My suggestion is that you tie all Social Points across a legacy. My reasoning is that if people have invested the time already, they should be able to enjoy all the perks that a Social Point ranking can bring for all their characters instead of having to grind SP's again and again. It's tiresome and not fun. Binding SP's across Legacy will only increase player choice about how they express themselves in the game, and more player choice is one of the key ways that encourage people to stay. Help me Obi-oware Kenobi, you're my only hope...

Hello Bioware, my question for the dev team relates to player titles, as these provide added customisation for players and the removal of many from the beta to live versions is confusing as it effectively reduces player choice. What was the logic behind removing so many? Why are there inconsistencies in what was removed? For example, male Bounty Hunters can no longer attain the title 'Baron', yet female BH's can still attain 'Baroness'. Why are there no titles for epic time-consuming feats such as collecting every single holocron (including the +10) in the game? I know that is three questions, but I hope you can forgive me as they are all encompassed by the title 'issue'.

My main has collected every single holocron, including the +10 on the fleet, and I did not even get a lousy t-shirt... In all seriousness yes I got all those stats, but I was really hoping for a title to proudly display, like "Treasure Hunter" or "Too Much Time On his Hands", or whatever so that people would know I've collected them all. Also, back in beta there were great titles such as 'Baron' that were removed. That, was a mistake, especially as they left 'Baroness' in the game. The logic is baffling. 'Baron' is a superb title. Please Bioware, fix/add back in some beta titles and also make something for the obsessive collectors amongst the game population.

The world boss ability to 'terrify' your companions is nothing new, it's been like for months, maybe even since launch. I'm still solo'ing world bosses up to lv38 as a non-healer class with no problems. Maybe it's your gear?
