Nevermind...

Hurt anyone a little swag love would not... Hmmm, hmm?

Thank you!

Does this mean there is going to be another ~5GB patch to download? :/

^^^ 5 hours on my day off... a bit of cc for a returning sub would be OK!

^^^ would be ok by me...

lol me too. Folks in the Rothbard, Ron Paul, Hoppe, and Ayn Rand vein of economic thought conveniently forget the lawless past of the US, specifically the late 1800's and early 1900's where their policies were clearly shown to be complete failures. Specifically these are folks who claim our Democracy has been a failure, that the strong should rule the weak, and that their beliefs simply follow the "natural order" that already exists in the world. They claim to be libertarans and stand for freedom but their actions say something else entirely. They are only ever for their own freedom. They care not for the freedoms of others. From their perspective they are the only people that matter in this world and their actions are performed according to this central premise. Folks like Hoppe claim "There can be no tolerance toward those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal. They the advocates of alternative, non-family centered lifestyles ... will have to be physically removed from society if one is to maintain a libertarian order." (sound familiar?) or Rothbard "democracy is not compatible with the purely free society" ... and now Ron Paul, a frequent key note speaker at JBS events, will keynote an event at Niagra Falls in early September with Roberto Fiore of the far right Italian Fascism party Forza Nuova. In short, these are folks that do not feel the rules of our society apply to them. They think that have the right to steal from others in our society because they can get away with it. To reiterate, they do not believe in Democracy or our country and it is born out by their actions and their words time and again.

anyone know what one credit is worth in RL money? would be interesting to find out. would assist law enforcement with charges if there were any... petty theft is a misdemeanor in most jurisdictions by the way.

so there was a conspiracy to defraud players of the money they invested into this game.. interesting.

technically he stole money players had invested in the game when he refused to refund the credits that were invested in his "fund", thus making this a possible petty theft in the real world, perhaps more depending on the number of credits that Greenspan and his "friends" stole... bear in mind that there was no actual derivatives market here, merely something that Greenspan and possibly others contrived as a market...

what derivatives market? a market technically requires more than a single security to operate... there was no market except what was between your ears. this was a scam and actually stole real world resources from players of the game...

quoted again for redundancy and to be reported to Bioware as in-game fraud...

quoted again for redundancy and for Bioware's review...

the bottom line here, no matter how you attempt to sugar coat your involvement in this scam, is there was no market... you can't have a market with a single security, one originator and then just close up shop. that is the very definition of something that is exactly the opposite of a thriving market. what happened here was a scam, a theft. and for your involvement in this scam you should be banned, imo, permanently.

The problem with your logic, or lack thereof, is that there was no stock market. One "hedge" fund does not a market make. You don't have a market with one security, one seller and no exchange oversight. There was no options market. You need more than one player trading securities to have a viable market. There was just some player posting lies on these message boards specifically to bilk other players out of their credits. This was a scam perpetrated by a thief. Nothing more really can be said about it.

I'd like to see the "its the players fault" folks try to PvP level a Pub side character, premade or no premade... They will quickly change their tunes or lie. One or the other... Cross faction PvP is broken. Please fix it soon. Thanks!

BioEA has my money for the Sub right now not on the promise of some future patch... a future patch does little for the money I already spent right now. I hope you meant 2.4 and not 4.4 lol

Precisely my point. This is a population exploit that nobody wants to address. The IMP side minor league is the result of the population exploit which is only made possible by allowing PUGS vs. Premades. If you queued groups vs. groups and allowed pugs to queue separately then this would not be an issue. When you can queue and pop on command there is something dramatically wrong with the balance of the game between the factions.

This is not a 'bad player' issue... When one side has a PvP population advantage their own pugs are vs. their own faction... Imps on my server have a minor league established... if you can't get out of the minors in the imp vs. imp pug's to get the chance to play on a premade then you almost never get to PvP against the Pub side. A Pub side which by the way is floudering badly... That is what makes PUG vs. Premade BROKEN. Its not the players. Premades vs. PUGS should be considered an exploit and the Devs need to repair it pronto...

+1 Unsubbed - As long at BioEA keeps smoking crack and allowing premades to play against pug's in WZ's they won't get another dime from me. Its just plain lazy on BioEA's behalf and frankly they don't deserve any more of my cash for this. Yes that's the sound of the door behind me.

yes but a simple emote is underwhelming unless the pet actually does something.... the static nature of pets is mindbogglingly dull and boring... wow the lizard bat flies around and ... well... does nothing... interaction at some basic level would be a big plus to an otherwise completely useless feature in the game.

me too. nice to know there are other lesbian males around...

Why do I play some of my PC's as women and some as men? Because I don't want to follow a guy toon around SWTOR forever. Think Lara Croft dude... But if you, OP, 'self-identify' with a mmo toon, and actually think it has anything whatsoever to do with your own sexual identify in RL, then I think the issue may be your own.

I was in the open beta under another user id. I did not sub right away hence why I do not have the Founder tag. After spending $150 on the CE subbing right out of Beta was a rather tall order... Once the Ilum issue was repaired I came back. and have been a sub since.

Yes you got it. F2P is worthless for anyone who has been playing the game for any length of time... Essentially the game is unplayable. Great way to treat your current players EA!
