Your right. This is the whine, complain and put down other players forum. Lets us not try to build a community and actually TALK to each other.

This would be great. Someone might make a plugin for Advanced Combat Tracker. It could be extremely helpful.

Yes, it follows the prefix path. You can learn more about RE here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=45866

You are right there, crafting can be good for companions, at until you have all your ops gear then you use that,.

I see crafting in this game as something to gear alts with. It is 95% useless for any main character, but it can be handy to gear out an alt. The only thing I use from artificing is the relic. The offhands last a little longer than some gear, but unfortunately everything quickly gets replaced by flahpoint/OPs gear. I have cleared EV once and done the first 2 bosses in KP. Along with a handful of hard mode flashpoints, my relics are all I have left from crafting. I really wish I could help out my guild, but every time I offer to make a color crystal, focus, light saber, enhancement, etc they almost always already have better. Even the fresh 50s. They need to lower the level req on all crafted gear by 3 and give us a way to obtain higher patterns, at least as high as entry level OPs and flashpoints. Let me help gear my guild for nightmare mode OPs.

Now if I can get the schematic to drop from Gargath or Primal Destroyer..... Does anyone know the respawn timer on them. It seems to be 1-2 days.

Just make it public (without editing permission) in google docs, then post the link

I have another infographic. You may want to include it in the OP. http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/117758/module_gallery/original/334804.jpg
