What I find disheartening is epitomized by this thread. I have a new Shadow tank spec. I just hit 50 this weekend. I haven't dared step into a HM FP because I am NEW to tanking in a group situation. People from group finder have just been rude and impatient when I have run the first 3 FPs at their normal level. I quit running FP's during leveling because I didn't want to deal with that. Those first runs, at level, saw DPS running ahead and pulling, then screaming why don't you get them off me?? I am not a bad player, at least I don't think I am. I ran all 3 of the Belsavis H2+ dailies last night, after hitting 50, completed them easily and didn't die, solo. I just tend to be methodical and enjoy working WITH people, not pushing, taunting, insulting along the way. And... I like doing the content as I go thru... PLUS, I don't know all these 'SKIPS' and as a tank.... I am kind of expected to be out front... Its easy to say GET A GUILD. Is that to say that the group finder is useless to anyone not in a guild? Is it only a tool to get into groups where we can be disrespectful and rude to other players because we have no connection to them? If someone were as rude to a guildie as I have seen in PUG's.... the rude folks would be gkicked without a second thought.

I checked online as well, and no dice. I also stopped by both stores. Neither had them available in the system. Sounds like they haven't reached the retail market yet.

I have to say, in some ways I really feel let down by Legacy. I am at legacy 36, not the highest, by far. But it gets me nothing, essentially. Not to be on the beat the F2P bandwagon, cause I am not. BUT, they could cap legacy level on F2P and then allow cartel items to become bound to legacy at various legacy levels... The holo's to allow you to train in the field.... bound to legacy. I hate that they are gonna be a waste once my Sith warrior (19) and my Shadow (21) get to lvl 50.

/signed At the very least a sliding significant sliding scale. I have made it to Lvl 33, and really get nothing for it but to be able to spend alot of cash on... and I don't like grinding dailies.

I have several thoughts and questions, so this may be a little long, and while others have posed some of this, I think it may not hurt to support those thoughts. 1. I think we do need to see some hard numbers on the difference between P2P and F2P as far as flashpoints, bank slots, credits, character slots, species, cartel coin cost as a microtransaction and cost of items on the Cartel coin vendor ... 2. ANY micro-transactions that resemble P2W is unacceptable. I saw the mention of BOOSTS. The only way I could see that being not a P2W would be if it mirrors, for a few hours on a single character slot, a purchased legacy perk from the legacy system. 3. Which leads me to: do F2P get the legacy system? I think not allowing F2P to have the legacy system is a great way to provide things to be purchased, per character, for a short amount of time for the Cartel Coins and microtransactions. As far as the account wide legacy unlocks, they wouldn't be available for the F2P. But things like exp boost for a specific area such as PvP, exploration, space mission, etc for one slot for 2 hrs or so would be fine. 4. Another option on legacy would be, NO legacy perks cost any credits for P2P. They are all based on legacy level. But I guess be careful what you wish for. I have legacy level 32 with 3 lvl 50 toons. Having the legacy perks require legacy level 75 would pretty much negate that P2P advantage. 5. P2P should NEVER have to spend additional money to get something. If we are subscribers, we shouldn't need to shell out any more money to get something that is available thru a microtransaction... and a note here, if something can be bought via a microtransaction, and we get a monthly alottment of CC's... but it takes 12 months to afford that item on the CC vendor... not such a good model. This includes vanity items, species unlocks, perks, anything. 6. Can P2P earn CC's in game thru quests ? 7. Will group finder and WZ' queue's be prioritized like log in queue to allow P2P to move ahead in line to get into FP's and WZ's? I am concerned about wait times increasing when F2P's are limited in the number they can run. 8. I am afraid the GTN restrictions are going to really ripple thru the game. Unrestricted GTN is going to promote the farmers and could cripple the economy. Restricted is going to give us a smaller market to work with, and again cripple the economy, it most likely will create a spam channel of for sale items, which is certainly not terribly efficient, or fun. 9.CE was promised a vendor. And, honestly, its been a waste. What are the chances that the CE vendor will have a serious upgrade, some thoughts: all the items avail on the CC vendor at a reduced cost, have one for the Digital Deluxe subscribers as well would be a good move, some COOL looking customizable equipment, maybe they are purples or something, give digital deluxe same look with an orange item, or just a different color scheme. 10. Content packages, like purchasing additional WZ or FP's runs, or access to Bonus mission sets, should be per slot, not account wide for F2P.
