I'm not at all surprised that I kept all my names, they all have a lot of time played on them. But I wonder if someone else lost a character name because of me.

Ben's third bullet point was incorrect. The correct dates were stated earlier in that same post.

I long ago learned not to question my buyers' reasoning. Just take the credits and be happy. It's not like I'm trying to trick people by exploiting the sorting function's handling of decimal places. As long as stuff keeps selling, I'll keep listing. It's not my job to educate the other players on where to buy stuff. The decorations all tell you how to get them...

Probably the same people who gave me millions of credits for stronghold decorations that you can buy from the stronghold decoration vendor for thousands of credits.

You can find a buyer for anything. For example, those stronghold decorations that are available from Felusia Stato, the vendor that the game gives you for following the quest chain to unlock your first stronghold? Yeah, people buy those on the GTN all the time. At 30x the cost. The item even tells you where to go buy the item for yourself, yet people still buy them from me on the GTN. And you know these people have access to the vendor... They wouldn't be buying the decorations if they didn't have a stronghold.

Since no one's said it yet, I will. RK-5 Starforged Blaster.

What, you mean of the Bind on Pickup armor sets that you would get through running flashpoints? The ones you can't sell anyway, and therefore had no value to begin with? Or maybe the ones that randomly dropped while leveling, which you can no longer obtain once you out-level the planet? Looks like it's time to find a new niche market.

It also breaks the animation for a dual wielder. At least, the idle stance on my Sentinel was broken.

As a non-PvPer, I wouldn't say I'm being humiliated. Yeah, it's a grind to get through 20 Warzones, but I just whip out my Party Jawa and help all those people get a point towards a nifty achievement! You're welcome, PvPers, for the free Party Jawa kills!

A guild member once Role Played doing paperwork for like 3 hours. I thought that was amusing. My guilty pleasure is turning off everything but my guild tag and following people around the Republic fleet. See my signature for why that's so amusing.

Well shoot, I know I don't know you and it may not mean a lot, but Happy Birthday anyway dude. Hope you have a great day.

In your honor, I will flaunt my Party Jawa all night tonight.

That's news to me, but then solo mode flashpoints didn't exist last time I went hunting for HK parts.

Pretty much everything except the two flashpoints.

That would be because neither of those is due out until February 11th.

Not raid gear, comms gear.

"One for All" is meant to be a challenge. It was. I probably overestimated my gear, since I'm not able to check it at the moment, but I do recall having 190-200 relics, a 190-ish earpiece, one or two 216 pieces, and mostly 208's, plus the overpowered legacy companion saber. Does being an Immortal Jugg make surviving things easier? Yes. Is it hard to kill a room full of the Exarch's mobs with a wiffle bat? Yes. Was it so much of a challenge that I'm worried I won't be able to do it on my Merc? No, not once he hits 65 and spends some common crystals on a basic set of gear.

OK, I'll run it on my Merc too.

So, because I figured I'd run it myself before telling everyone that they're just complaining over nothing, I ran a Heroic Star Fortress last night, solo on my 65 Immortal Juggernaut. His gear is roughly a 208-212 average at the time, though I later discovered that I had the Level 3 Rakghoul Plague relic still equipped instead of my rating 200 defense relic. I know this character very well, I've played him over the past 4 years since he was my first character. I ran with my influence level 14 Lt. Pierce. For most of the run, he was in DPS stance. I had no issues whatsoever with any mobs up to the control room and the Exarch's ambush. Though I nearly died on the Praetorian droid, hitting a well timed defensive cooldown saved my skin. I did die once on the Exarch's ambush, because I was goofing off and forgot to use my heroic moment before then. I also switched Pierce to healing stance at this time, because I knew the long and drawn out Exarch fight was ahead. I didn't die once after that, I had stocked up on a handful of med packs and was ready to abuse the Heroic Moment button on cooldown. I had a bit of a struggle in the second room with the droids, I forgot how to siphon energy off of the exarch and I missed a couple of chances to disable the terminal. But I made it through in the end to the final fight. I took a deep breath, charged in... and spent the next 10 or so minutes bashing away at the Exarch with a full or nearly full health bar. The only time I got near low health was when I missed an interrupt, got stunned, and Pierce stood in a puddle of stupid all at the same time. But I popped Enraged Defense, hit the medpack (finally), and went right back at it. One for All achievement unlocked, on my first attempt at a solo Heroic Star Fortress. It was a challenge, no doubt. But it felt like the right kind of challenge. I didn't die randomly to some RNG overpowered hit, I died because I was slacking off and not paying attention. Pierce didn't even die on the final fight, though it was close once or twice because he stands in targets where things go boom. So now that I've done that, I can confidently say: If you're whining about the One for All achievement not being obtainable by an average player in average gear with an average companion: You're wrong. Slow down, pay attention to your abilities, and check your gear. I'm sure the +75 defense and +145 Mastery that I was missing from my relic would have made a difference, but I managed without it.

Oh cool, I'll check that out later. Edit: Confirmed, Mako no longer wants to have "The Talk" with my female BH.

I especially enjoyed since it is so ubiquitous on the forums.

You all realize that this story isn't finished yet, right? The choices you make may not have an immediate impact, but more long term effects. We just haven't seen them yet. My Empire's Wrath won't ever be able to recruit Tanno Vik, for example. I'm sure there are a lot of other changes that aren't nearly as obvious as that one, like how you deal with the Scions and your behavior to your crew members.

Funny thing is, when Yavin IV stronghold released, I unlocked every room then spent an additional 10-15 million on decorations. Then I sold a bunch of decorations on the GTN for massive profits, and came out ahead in like 4 days. If you find the right hot spot on the GTN, you can make LOADS of cash in a very short time. It's much more fun to me than dailies.

Thanks to you and KBN and all the others for doing this. Using your numbers, I always do well in the limited number of Ops and FPs I get to do, gaining compliments for my tanking skill. I know that my stats are only half the battle, but you guys make it easy to balance my stats, so I can focus on being a more skilled player. TL;DR Thanks!
