Ignore him. He's just a child having a tantrum because there are people who have a different viewpoint than him.

Thank you, you've been most helpful. BioWare should take some lessons from Turbine, they've got a successful F2P model that works quite well.

Anyone know if we can grind for coins like in LOTRO? The ability to grind for coins made it bearable for those of us who are unable to afford or otherwise pay the subscription fee.

Wasn't asking for a discussion, was asking for more than one response to see if there was anyone out there who encountered it as an orange crystal somehow or other. Now that there's been a few more responses, the answer is clearly "no." Does this mean I don't like the answer? No, I'm perfectly fine with the answer. I just want it backed up by others rather than having to take one person's word for it. I'd ask for further confirmation even if you had said "Yes you can get an orange one and here's how." edit: corrected context use

Anyone disputing this? I'd like to get some more varied feedback than just one person.

Not knowing where else to put this thread I'm putting it here. Basically, I hear a rumor that you can get an orange crystal on Tython off of the quest Lovers and Secrets, but everyone I know tells me that it's just a yellow crystal. I've tried it myself on a Consular and got a yellow crystal. I've searched the forum to no avail so I want to have this cleared up once and for all: Is there or is there not a possibility to get an orange crystal off of this quest?

The Bounty Hunter counterpart is actually the trooper so it might be less fair to them, since BH gets a choice of one pistol or two, and troopers get a choice of blaster rifle or massive cannon.

That's a good idea! On the flip side, just make blaster rifles one-handed if they aren't already (from a game mechanics perspective) because only certain advanced classes can use them anyway and none of them dual-wield.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. I would like, if nothing else, an answer as to why Powertechs are given a single pistol instead of a blaster rifle. Every time I watch my powertech unload on something I just think "Man, this would look so much cooler if it were a rifle" since it's the mercenaries who use akimbo pistols. Edit: Upon further reflection the conclusion I reached is that blaster rifles require 2 hands and you can't put a shield generator in your offhand if you use a rifle.
