I think we are all on the same page here. I don't want characters that people grind content for (i.e. work for) given away. Yes that will rile people up and yes that is not the request. The issue is making a certain character available to subscribers over a certain period is purely financial... and can be fixed financially... either through the cartel market or making them available again to subscribers over a certain period again. You want to reward people for subscribing and playing the game as it contributes to the general health of the game. Not everyone plays this game for raiding, so these little side missions/companions are important to them and it gives them an incentive to play through and grind content. It just makes sense to bring these guys back for another round or acquiring them!

I'll second that... Please make the Shroud of memory bonus missions available! You can make it available through any of the reasonable recommendations in this thread, but it should be made available to all subscribers. I also don't believe that anybody will be too upset if certain companion recruitment comes and goes into and out of the game. Whether you were a subscriber between certain dates are irrelevant. While we are talking about this - Same as Darth Hexid, Master Ranos should make a comeback as well!! Thank you in advance
