Well played sir.

Greetings- This has always puzzled me as one of the things mission from the crafting systems as a whole. Really glaring. Regards, Androvis

Greetings- I was happy to see in Rich Vogel's latest blog post about Bugs and Exploits, that everyone on the development team plays the game (my emphasis added): http://www.swtor.com/blog/developer-blog-busting-bugs-and-fixing-exploits "We have a huge list of features and content we want to put into the game and we are constantly adding to it based on feedback we get from the community and from playing the game ourselves. Every single one of us on the development team plays the game, and we see the same issues you do and where we need to expand." I think that's great! Having your staff also use a product you create can go a long way in creating a quality product. That said, could the same be said about your CSRs? Specifically the in-game CSRs? I have stalked the customer service forum since launch looking for big issues and, having had a few encounters with CSR ticketing myself, do not believe they play the game. BioWare, what are your thoughts on this? Do the CSRs play SWTOR, and we're mistaken? Do you think the game would have additional value if they did? What does the community think about all this? Regards, Androvis

Greetings- The B-type (tanking) mods are only from dailies. Why they are not craftable, I'll never know. Regards, Androvis

Greetings- I know we have a ton of posts about this already on the forums, but this needs an official response. I consider this terrible game design. For those that haven't read the reverse-engineering guide, each green item that can be RE'ed has 3 blue options, and 5 purple options from each blue. Now if you are RE'ing blues, and know 3/5 patterns, and you crit an RE (learn a recipe), you can receive this error: "You already know that schematic." This means that you crit, and the RNG (that's random number generator for you non-technical folks) decided that you were going to try and learn something that you already knew. Given the time and materials cost of RE'ing at this point in the game relative to obtainable hardmode/raid/pvp/daily gear, it makes no sense for crafting epics to be this stupid. Yesterday, I RE'd 100 Redoubt Galactic Combat Modules (a BH tanking earpiece). I knew 1 epic recipe before starting, out of a possible 5. After 100 RE's, I knew 2 more and had 5 (FIVE!) of these errors. We need a definite statement on whether or not this is intended behavior or a bug. Regards, Androvis

Greetings- Canonically, why would a force user be under the employ of a mere humanoid? I'm not sure this is something we would see, but I agree Thana would be an awesome companion. Regards, Androvis

Greetings- While you have an interesting theory, and is is a theory, my experience playing against the republic so far negates your argument. The bad players are already on both sides, in droves. Having one side be the "underdog" does not have a more significant effect than "where are my friends playing?". Regards, Androvis

Greetings- I'm not sure how this feature didn't make it into a release client, but I would think it must have been brought up during BETA. This feature is a huge quality of life change for any tanks/healers in PvE and anyone in PvP (who's about to die/needs to be guarded/healed). Regards, Androvis

Greetings- I support these ideas, they are great! Regards, Androvis

Greetings Fellow Bounty Hunters- You can get a modifyable belt from the starship upgrades fleet commendation vendor in the fleet. A "pilot's belt" is only 60 commendations. Bracers on the other hand... have fun auction house hunting. Regards, Androvis

Greetings- 5.5 hours until I can go home, huzzah! Regards, Androvis

Greetings- Let's focus our anger and hatred towards the code monkey who made it so you could get this message instead of learning a recipe, not each other! Regards, Androvis
