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.

"Many people encounter Cylak and feel frustration and powerlessness... but don't worry, there is a solution. Cylak Awareness. You too can contribute by making those you care for and game with Aware of Cylak." ~The Mooore you Knoooooow~ -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Yes, you see? Spreading Cylak Awareness is healthy! It brings joy to people of all sorts! Do not despair his Illiteracy and ignorance, embrace it as an example.... tell your friends and guildmates about Cylak! Awareness is the first step to Recovery! -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Do not worry. You too can contribute to spreading Cylak awareness. Simply regale your friends and guildmates when you log in about Cylak and his epic threads of awful. Be a contributor! Spread Cylak awareness. -- Chained-Fei Previously from "Xenosaga" forums

Which is why I feel that Cylak should become the Star Wars: The Old Republic Poster Boy for Illiteracy! Every server should know his name, his infamy should become ubiquitous! -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

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

Cylak may cancel, but his legend shall live on! So say we all? -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Cylak is impervious to your Jedi Wiles. Actually, Cylak is just impervious to wiles of any kind. -- Chained-Fei Previously from "Xenosaga" forums

Of course you're delusional. I am a meat popsicle. And You are Hallucinating Cylak's. It must be evil Sith Mind Control from Darth Illiteracy, making you imagine his defunct apprentice. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Yeah, I know. Those Cylaks, always suing people over the theft of their sweet rolls. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Don't bring expectations to things, you'll lead a happier life. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Oooh, Fencer! I wish I'd fenced longer in my Yoot. Epee or Saber? -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Dual of the Fates is still an awesome scene overall. Only ruined by the brief interlude of that brat blowing up the droid ship. Darth's and Droid's covered that one well I thought. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

You're absolutely right. A gungan would be the perfect race for someone to role a character named Cylak. Wait, what was the question? -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Not even Cylak can explain Cylak. He tried, so hard... But the Dark Side was strong with him. No, Seriously. No lightbulbs on up there. You could seriously trip over something and hurt yourself. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

You can do your part too, spread The Legend of Cylak, Lord of Illiteracy, the most feared Sith in the Outer Rim! So fearsome was Darth Illiteracy that he never taught his pupil properly. In fact, he trained Cylak wrong on purpose! -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

I feel it is our solemn duty, all of us, as curators of the culture of Star Wars: The Old Republic to make sure that none of us ever forget today; the Day Cylak Didn't Get in. Cylak should be remembered for all time as that guy that didn't get in. He should be immortalized in all servers, at all places as that Guy who Didn't Get In. Cylak needs to become our Leroy Jenkins of Illiteracy. Make it so, internets! -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Hey there, Weremops! Welcome to the Cylak party! Going 140 pages strong now! You're rational logic and reasonable nature won't work on Cylak, he's wearing a robe of wisdom immunity! It gives him an elemental immunity to common sense. It also allows him to sue people for things that are perfectly legal. *I* think we should immortalize Cylak as TOR's Leroy Jenkins. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Your poor knee.... will it ever learn to read again? -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

Then you should've said, "I'm going to go cook up a slab of bacon.... I guess I'll have other stuff with it too." I mean... Bacon comes first. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums

LET US MAKE IT SO! We shall make Cylak the most famous NOOB ever conceived! Leroy has nothin' on this guy. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forum

Well you may be for real, but I am for fake. One day, if I wish hard enough, I might be a real person. And have access to TOR. -- Chained-Fei Previously of "Xenosaga" forums
