I love this game, and I'll keep subscribing, at least for now, but I'm a bit concerned about some things: 1) I bought the CE. Now they'll probably put what was CE exclusive in the "real money market". I'm fine with that, I'm not an elitist, but my fear is that even CE owners will have to go to the "real money market" to buy what they could by with ingame credits before the F2P change. An example could be the black yellow crystals! 2) I started playing LOTRO when it went F2P, and I liked it, because as a F2Player I had to buy expansions and such, but upon subscription I wouldn't have to worry about spending anymore, unless I wanted some useless cosmetic outfit or healing potion. Then, sometime after I subscribed, they started selling weapon slots and augments (which had been free to subscribers), and then the bank space became a matter of "real money market" and so on... I'm really afraid that this F2P model could start eating away from subscribers privileges (and subscribers should have privileges, since they pay every month)! 3) Again, LOTRO started good with only a link to the "real money market" in the GUI and ind some other minor place (all of them, except the one in the GUI, went away upon subscription), but as time passed it arrived at a point where the game was no more fun because everywhere you went you found a "real money market" link!

It's never okay to be fat! They stress it out very clearly, even for males, by making it impossible for body tipes 3 and 4 to reach certain datacrons!

This! I don't necessary think they shouldn't be helped to earn more dollars, but the children surely need my help more!

Very good! I agree to everything! I also liked the father's saying and I'm looking forward to argue with a pig (I mean a real pig in real life) and get dirty!

I was probably dpsing in that FP you haven't finished due to group finder! Anyway, here are mi thoughts: ON DIALOGUE AND SPACEBAR: I never tried to vote kick someone who wants to see the dialogues. However, at the start of each FP I ask people if they want to spacebar, so everybody will know what the others will do, and maybe discuss it. If someone asks politely to let him see the cutscenes, why not? You can always use the time to elaborate a strategy for the next boss! ON TRASH MOBS: I mostly fo HM FP, and mobs under elite level never drop anything in those kind of FP, so killing them, unless it's required for a bonus quest the group wants to do, is utterly futile. I'll go on to say that, in HM FP like Esseles, where the bonus gives out many rewards with relatively no difficult (you get social points, tionese crystals and comms, a daily comm and a tionese or even columi piece), you can complete the bonus quest even if you skip most of the skippable enemies. So, if you want to kill trash mobs for no good reason (and making money is no good reason cause they wont drop any), they are right to kick you. ON BONUS QUESTS: Some are simple and rewarding (the esseles) while some other are downright sick! The rule is: "ask the group"! What good is wiping 4 or 5 times on a bonus boss, when nobody else but you cares? If the majority of the group wants to try it, good for you, if not, then you'll have another chance tomorrow! ON STUPID PLAYERS: I've seen many strange and/or stupid things: from a tank who pulled every mob in the kasbah just for kicks, getting us wiped multiple times in a row, to a stealth dps who liked to stealth dive in big groups of mobs, just to CC the most futile of them all, and maybe dance around it, getting noticed by all the 5+ mobs group, all of this while our tank was in another room, like 500 metres away, resulting in a group wipe! Maybe players like those deserve a warning, they surely deserve a vote-kick!

I'll add: If you have a stealth ability and can stealth CC mobs, don't run 500 metres in front of the tank trying to CC normal mobs in the middle of 3+ groups, just for kicks, thus getting noticed by the rest of them, starting a fight and getting wiped...

For me it's worth it! People ask me where did I get that mouse droid, and on an RP server it's just another excuse to get social! But I usually get mad sometimes and spend 150$ on a single videogame:eek: , so don't look at me for advice!

I usually propose votes on bonus bosses! Esseles bonus boss is easy and automatically comes out, sort of, so I do it almost averytime, but bosses like the one in FE are a bit nasty...

So, my guild usually runs random Group Finder FPs, where we form a group and then queue for a random FP to get the daily comms or for fun and exercise! Today we started a FP, got Battle of Ilum, and wiped on the veequay gunslinger boss!: I started making my way back to the boss, and I used the map to navigate the mines, but it bugged, preventing me from closing it and making me useless! I had to logout to fix it, but then I couldn't rejoin my group, and was locked out from group finder till I resetted the FP... BW should change the rules, IMHO, to allow for people to briefly log out if needed and then get back in their group! Why do we have to vote kick a disconnected player, even if his PC explodes, while a player can't log out and back in (for a grand total of 10 seconds) to fix a game breaking problem, without losing all his progress?

Random weather effects! Pro: its SOOOOOO COOOOOOL! Cons: not every computer can handle them.....

Oh my Jawa!

I agree with you! I have a DPS, and happened to me more than once to get killed by reckless tanks who couldn't hold aggro off the healer, or who pulled entire rooms of enemies just for kicks! I'm in full columi now, and I think I'll skip Rakata gear, not because I don't like it, but because I can't find a decent group to at least kill a single HM Ops boss: I keep finding undergeared groups! So I'll grind BH comms till I have full BH gear, and then go to EC HM to get campaign, while, if BW had put Rakata Commendations ingame, instead of only allowing tokens, and only allow them in OPS, I could at least gear enough to break the chain of "HM FP daily-SM OPS-HM FP daily-SM OPS daily-Lost Island...oh wait I'm undergeared, better start an HM FP daily"!

Yeah, this! But I recognise that they should give out legacy perks to enable not getting experience, so people could do space combat or what they like without waking up on a grey galaxy!

On the other end, you can get a pre made group, queue for a random FP and get the comms!

This helps a lot, thank you!
