Its been said, but again, 'Money Sink'.

Being on a server like starstorm one (which bioware told us to go on during the crazy queues, this turned out to be a russian hotspot which makes finding groups hard due to communication problems. Then a mass exit from the server by english players has made this even worse in the poast month or so) you can hardly ever get a group. The game seems broke, as spending hours and hours to get a group, when there are a maximum of 50 people on the republic fleet at peak times. I am all for a cross server LFG tool, although for servers where this is an issue, i can see why you would not want it.

Still 4 months on, I cannot unlock the chest, and it is needed Why is this not fixed?

Agreed, and this needs to be stated at the start, I do not have any issue with playing with russian players. Hell I have played with some great players, however the majority of my encounters have been frustratinbg to say the least. Trying to communicate is near impossible at times, and coordianting an FP or Warzone is a nightmare. This whole issue...I think, stemed from a russian gaming website stating SS1 as a Russian server, hence a lot flocked there. I do not know if this adds to the issue of finding groups and socialising with others outside of the guild, but it is getting increasingly difficult. This is not by any means a, 'we don't want people speaking different languages' thread. It just really makes communicating and playing the game to a fun level very hard and frustrating.
