High end crafting missions for UWT, Bio, Scavenging, and Diplomacy run for between 10k and 25k per mission. Diplomacy and scavenging generally run for 10 to 15k and Bio UWT tend to run 15 to 30k. Cost of missions was so prohibitive on my server, that I am actually leveling up a slicer now so that I can go out and get my own missions. Leveling slicer is SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER and faster than leveling up any other skill that I have. You don't always make your money back, but you usually will make a high % of it back and sometimes more. I'm pretty sure anything that I'm losing, I'm at least making up by slicing boxes out in the field. UWT trading mats, although they are priced high, I doubt are selling for what some are asking for them. For the record, it's a pain in the arse to get purple metals of any tier, and if you do get them it's often two at a time. It generally takes 4 to make one recipe. So if you are actually crafting with them, which I'm assuming many are, it doesn't leave a whole lot to sell. The only reason I will sell my rares on the GTN is to make back the cost of an expensive crafting mission. Slicing does not suck.

My translation was exploiters ruined the zone for everyone else so they could get their phat lewtz. There will always be people ruining something for others, it's the way of the world.

I don't have a screen shot, but I can back him up to some degree. I'm also not complaining. In a mix of champion and raid gear I have seen miss, miss, absorb, absorb and then gotten my face melted pretty quick. Conversely if untouched I have touched many in their naughty parts and dropped them to your news. L2 switch targets is basically the only advice I can give.

A snuff box and crumpets don't hurt either to be honest. Snipers bring the sexy.

Our guildleader got my Rakata Gloves by accident due to some confusion with their back arse looting system. I sure hope that ticket gets resolved. Last time something similar happened though, the same piece dropped again for me with no resolution on the original ticket, so I closed it.

Thanks for writing, you'll be missed.

That might all be true, but it doesn't account for epic levels of kill trading on Ilum. Unfortunately BM means d***ck in this game from a respect stand point, because no one knows who took the easy way and who did it the right way. I would venture to say that most at least participated somewhat in the easy way. Not that I really care tbh.

Operatives/ Assassins/ Smugglers

No dps meter no problem. I'm in an 8 man raid, HM's die before enraging, I'm not in the raid not so much. I'm the only sniper in my small guild. Our ranged dps is tight, we have good temp survivability, we are great for add detail, we have a shield for the raid that blocks 20% damage, and most importantly we are sexy. What else do you need?

I literally just said this last night on my alt, sprint should be at level 10.

Please, like 80% of the BM's didn't get their rank from kill trading on Ilum or the exploit anyways. Those that decided to get it legit probably are just in it for the PvP and aren't QQ'ing as much. That's my guess.

50k plus for running the top 3 space missions. It's a nice break from regular grind, you get tokens to eventually buy prototype 50 gear bag with item that sells for a ton, and it takes just about a half our. I also only have to travel to my ship and stay there and do it. I'm pretty much all set with running dailes on 3 planets. I don't really care either way, I have really nice 49 mastercraft implants. I still think it's stupid that you need to run daily quests to have the credits to raid, I think that the raids themselves should at least provide some credits. I have enough credits, so it's not a big deal to me personally.

You're absolutely right, as a sniper I try to act as a speed bump for the other team to buy my runner an extra 3 or 4 seconds. I pray one of them trips over my dead body. Sniper can kill stuff fine, but the LoS in Huttball makes me want to hurt kittens.

Right? I play a retarded amount and I have like 1.1 million creds. "How do you kill that which has no life?" South Park

Doing sh***ty repetitive dailies in order to raid is not the answer. I can afford the 100k repairs for one night of raiding HM learning getting gear etc, but not all people play as much as I do. Raiding in and of itself is the game for some people, it should not be cost prohibitive at the level it is. In the 3 MMO's I've played, the repair expense in this game is the most BY FAR. I don't think the solution is to make repairs cheaper, the solution is to make "some" credits and vendor fodder drop in the raid zones. I don't care if it's enough creds to cover my entire bill, BUT it should at least cover some of it. There really is no excuse that level 20 garbage mobs drop more loot than trash in a raid, or that there is security chests just sitting there in open world ripe for the picking, but none in raid zones. I try to experience all the content, but that is not a decision for us to make for other players.

Such as? What does WoW have that SWTOR doesn't, ranked WZ? Aside from that I think what's being offered is pretty similar. Zones to quest in, instances, raids, and PvP. You mean there isn't 7 years of increased content in a game that was released 2 months ago? Any MMO is going to be playing catch up to EQ2 or WoW from a content stand point. Thus you will NEVER get what you are looking for and you should either stop gaming or go back to WoW. Or you can enjoy the ride and be part of something new as it grows. You can also wait and come back in 5 years.

Or you can work around the bug by positioning yourself when you click on the GTN instead of doing all that. Slightly to the right when you open. Is it perfect? No. But some people are smart enough to figure out how to work around it.

Because no game can offer what some are looking for. They want a magical unicorn that sh***ts tacos to come out of the screen of their computer and fly them away to a world full of sparkly vampires that they can befriend and eventually marry. You will never find what you are looking for, so you should just stop gaming. Even Skyrim has bugs, and that game is a single player game that was developed for years. The programming doesn't even have to deal with other players and there were issues that will take time to iron out.

So basically there are several ways you can choose to level your toon, not all involving doing the same quests (which mind you is every MMO I've ever played), but that's not good enough? So in your infinite wisdom and gaming genious, what would you have them do? Viable ways to level in SWTOR: PvP Space Missions Standard Quests Class Quests Flashpoints Group quests on planets I can confirm these all work just fine, as I've used them all to level. Actually used all of them to level which keeps it from getting boring. I guess they can add lower level operations, but I think it would make more sense to develop those for end game. The people complaining about content really just don't like MMO's, because you can't name one MMO that doesn't use the above to level. And in a lot of games, not all of these choices are even viable because the xp sucks. It's actually VIABLE in this game, as the xp is decent for all of these activities.

If done right, casinos would actually take money out of the economy, this is a good thing. The odds should always tilt towards the Hutts running the place just like any other casino.' There should be no issue with this from a legal stand point, EQ2 has the gambling goblins all over the place. This would add a whole new layer to the game, and would be a great social point for players of both factions to gather. I love this idea.

Wrong, you don't have to do all the repetive quests. If you do space missions, pvp WF a couple times a day, and do your class quest only you will level just fine. Class quests will be different from the other class you played. I'm doing this now with my alt, the planets I enjoy I run all the quests, the planets I'm not fond of I make the xp from pvp and space missions.

Anything I use (UWT, SCAV, DIP, BIO) under 15k is basically an instant purchase for me.

Would be awesome to have an in game casino run with credits. plus one here.

Because chasing FOTM skills in a two month old MMO is complete and utter fail. See the 300 slicing nerf complaint threads for evidence. I made my alt a biochem for now.

I wish I could find a thread complaining about slicing nerfs on these forums. The 15 to 20k I pay for each crafting mission would like a word about your profitability.
