Switch to Republic since it's the underdog?
Chainedfei replied to Qonor's topic in General Discussion
The Scoundrel is full of snark, the story is fairly interesting and I like the responses. Likewise, the Trooper has some interesting decisions to make during the course of the game. I particularly liked the, "How about you tell me where the explosives are or I blow off your fingers with my rifle?" response on Ord Mantell. Incidentally, Ord Mantell is a bag of phalluses. -
From my own personal experience, it seems as if the battle is generally fought in a manner that isn't conducive to change. I, as a long time roleplayer, recognize there are different playstyles. Pick up one of the guides for running a game for tabletop some time and it will tell you the same. There are people who name their character punny names, and the roleplayers who like immersion dislike them. There are rules lawyers who don't see why acting in character is important as much as if it will get them a bigger bonus at the end of things. The hard core roleplayers, who deeply care about their characters, stories and their interactions with the worlds are a minority even in tabletop games. People don't tend to play that way. I do, but then, I tend to be *****y and broody when something happens to my character I don't like. I recognize my personal flaws in the matter. As it relates to MMO's, from my experience the dialogue of the game is most impacted by the dialogue a player produces; garbage in, garbage out. I play a Psychotic Trooper Chick named Korinne on The Ebon Hawk. She's vaguely sociopathic about bringing the violence. I also play a straight laced, quiet Jedi Shadow who tries to serve as a good example for the Trandoshan that follows her around. I pepper most of my speech in general with roleplaying talk. I also do joke around, sometimes OOC, in General. The human mind needs emotional breaks from intense roleplaying at times. I have also been trolled in most MMO's for roleplaying in general chat. People tell me it is only for asking advice and general conversation outside of game, and that I should join an RP chat channel if I want to RP. Which I've done. Did it a bit in WoW... problem being, there was never all that many people there. Roleplaying is inherantly a social thing, and there are people out there playing who are roleplayers and don't even know it. Inspiring new roleplayers is a good thing. Even if at first the new players suck at making characters or stories that are compelling, at least you'll have planted something that might bear better fruit down the road. If you wish to encourage roleplaying, you have to inhabit the role you play and defy social convention to do it.

If you guys want to confirm your theory that it is people scanning it and then not picking up the resourced, why don't you get a friend, scan a node and don't pick up the resource. Then see if the friend can loot it five minutes later. Simple as pie.

Cylak is the originator of this thread, the OP. Additionally, Cylak had a One-Hundred and twenty-four page thread http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=13025 that was closed... All the arguments and all the reasons and explanations were given to Cylak, who then went on to create two more threads about the same topic, of which this is one. Repeated examples and analogies were used, and even simple explanations of word usage were implemented to no Avail. Really, it has approached hilarity at the failing in conception of basic concepts. I encourage everyone to read the 124 page thread. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums
