I want to play as HK and kill meat bags.

I am subbed since day one as well as a few friends. We are cool with the new sub rewards.

The fact that Bioware is asking players for feedback makes me think they had no real metrics to substantiate the readjustment. This is what happens when early consumers of the content go through game. They quickly go through the game and say the game is too easy. Now everyone else who is starting this expansion later will have to run planetary heroics with less effective companions in order to build influence with companions. I really feel for subscribers with multiple alts or are very casual. story content is not very repeatable now personal gameplay is now a grind with planetary heroics being a time sink.

Aa four-legged mechanical walker or hover tank vehicle with two variants, one with vendors, mailbox and GTN capacity, and another to carry two additional grouped players.

Loved reading this

As ridiculous as the amount of dancer gear that came from cartel packs. Enough to outfit a chorus line of dancers. Meh no-one forced me to buy those packs LOL

I simply and politely say " I do not think this is going to happen. Best of Luck" and then I leave. Since this is a PUG that I knowingly entered into, I took my chances, I am not more entitled then others to ownership of the group, and I can re-enter Group Findersince the group wiped on a boss.

No, he got 5 months of gametime at the regular rate. He would have paid that rate regardless of whether he bought that expansion. I think the OP is upset that recent purchasers are being compensated and he is being under appreciated. I do not share the sentiment BUT I do think that Bioware may have not thought this one out well when they decided to make ROTHC free.

Meh if BW want to put in something like this, I do note begrudge either them or potential buyers. I would not buy it because I do not have osrt fo money to throw around but more power to anyone who does.

Tionese/Columi/Rakata armor should be be brought back in the form of schematics for moddable armor.

I have a few 55 tanks and DPS and I do not do much 55HM through Group Finder because I am trying to gear them up. I have done a ton of Group Finder instances. Randomly grouping with people can be a chore but I think a gear check tool only will degrade the community of rand Group Finder folks. No real solution to your specific issue or the genral issue of people trying to sqeak by doing HMs the instant they hit 55.

A lot of people think nothing existed before WoW and they are only partially correct. A whole lot of something existed pre-WoW. Blizzard smartly took what it thought were best parts of primitive MMOs and inserted them into their IPs. That was a good thing but it was not new. Ask anyone who played MMOs before WoW and they would agree.

The clear lack of targets in a confined space surprised me.

Go try the bounty contracts. Groups of people are having to compete for scarce targets. If it comforts you to call people selfish to validate your point then please do. Casual and organized groups are bottlenecked on Hutta. If this were in PVP zone or a FFA zone then I would have no issue.

Doing something else does not address the player collision model of design that Bioware has adopted. This game needs to draw in more players, not drive them away out of frustration. Myself and probably a few others are on a time budget

Bottlenecking players into confined spaces to compete for objectives is not good game design. This has been referred to as player collision. The is poor design and definitely not something you would find in a mature AAA MMO. This is something that Blizzard would put out and that cannot be a good thing.

Have to agree with the OP 's sentiment. This game was designed for us to roll multiple characters. Good evidence for this is that Standing with groups is shared across your Legacy. Some really cool items are bound to Legacy, and you can mail items to any character in your legacy regardless of faction. A lot of toher MMOs have failed to address alts the way the Bioware has in this game. If you want to play a single character, that is your choice but I think you are seriously gimping yourself out of experiencing class stories and ACs.

This. Seriously get a security key

Player housing and player cities are an antiquated idea that only highlight the fluctuations in game population. i remember SWG and the ghost towns just over the hill from Mos Eisley. Developer resources can be better used elsewhere.

I suggest packages of crafting schematics smiliar in concept to the packs available for PVP moddable gear. Same models. The main difference would be different colours and the removal of valor requirements to equip.

So you are suggesting a business strategy that potentially drives away paying customers from a game that has been struggling for the past year? Good call. i just hope the sunset event is spectacular.

Punishing customers by aggravating them into leaving the game does not sounds like good business practice. Bioware designed Operations so that you complete quests without finishing Ops was not the choice of customers.

i am going back to my Merc to get hm up to 50 ASAP so i can enjoy the Tionese gear and run some HMs prior to the expansion pack

I think SWTOR has good high level content Gear has an attainable entry level. Gear upgrades and difficulty of progression are linear, not on an exponential curve.

If unable to group with friends or forming a flashpoint group, I have used general chat . No LFG tool is needed. It does add to game-play or community.
