Like the title says, forcing players to play on both factions is detrimental to the game's experience. Not only has their been more of this sloppy "content" , but its salt in the wound considering the abysmal amount of content released with 7.0.

How long has the player population been asking for more playable races? How long have they been asking for more planets? Time and time again players post on the suggestion forums and they are ignored. I really hope Disney pulls the project from EA and BioWare and gives it to a more capable company.

I would also like to point out that he OP is using an MMO with a different layout. LoTRO is completely different MMO with a completely different fan base. The argument that "most mmos are like this" has no validity. If you want an mmo where the raiders and pvpers are the majority, EVE. There you go. Now I personally don't care if you are casual or hardcore as I have been both. However, I dont think that players should be just given the gear when they hit 55. I am a founder, my level 55 Shadow is in full 168, at one point he was in full 162s, I never had a problem DPSing and rarely wiped. I grinded tmy 162 set doing dailies and random queueing for FPs. With the x2 xp events more and more players are rushing through their characters, not taking the time to properly learn how to play their class. When I get grouped with someone who has never run a FP and they are level 54 and wont listen to the more experienced players, that is when I get angry. (was grouped in a KDY with a guardian that was leader, we had to kick one member because they wouldn't attack anything, and then this guy wouldnt requeue or pass lead) What everyone has to remember, especially on the forums, is that people pay to play this game. While it is not necessary to play the game it does unlock features and settings that are not available to the F2P. That being said when I go into a warzone or Flashpoint I expect people to not be completely undergeared and to know how to do the role they have chosen. I personally refuse to tank, because i am bad at it and i don't find it enjoyable. i just got my 55 sentinel fully pvp geared, while i admit he had some greens and blues i never once queued for ranked and i always warned those in my warzone that i was undergeared. I wasn't expecting to be carried but I knew I wasnt contributing all that much.

I don't understand why BioWare has put a level restriction on buying pieces of gear. It really makes no sense. I have a 55 Shadow, a 54 Sentinel, a 47 Sage, and a 46 Commando. My Sentinel is my pvper and I am capped with WZ comms. I want to buy his level 55 stuff before i hit level 55 so i know that i have it and i dont have to worry about farming at 55 for the gear. It is the same for PvE gear. If i do a whole bunch of level 50 ops before i hit 55 i should be able to buy my 55 stuff before i hit 55. All in all putting a level prerequisite on buying gear only slows down the transition from leveling to endgame.

best idea i have ever seen on this forum /signed.

George lucas is consulting nuff said.

In response BioWare do not dtop developing Endgame or guilds wont matter because the game will be dead.

This entire post is either a Troll or the OP is just very angry that he/she is wrong, imho.

Stop using Ad Hominem and actually tell us why players should be punished for farming chest? Just because you aren't able to do it doesn't mean others should be prevented from it. And anyway why does it matter if they have more creds than you? I make 500k to 1mil every time i go to do my dailies so why are you complaining? Farmers put into 10 times the amount of time you do so shouldn't they get 10 times more credits?

All of these ideas or game breaking. Farming is a part of EVERY mmo, people who choose to farm do so to make in game currency, if you don't want to farm that is okay. However, what you are asking BW to do is to punish people who put the time and effort into farming. I get that there are bots but a farming cap will not stop them it will only harm the players. And tying mobs to chests is just dumb why should i have to fight a group of mobs if i get to a chest without having to fight them. It falls into the category of punishing players for ingenuity.

your complaining that a cloth wearing, caster is squishy. nuff said

Verain fly something other than a bomber. Do Bombers need to be balanced: YES! no one here can deny that bombers are op in Domination and underpowered in TDM. Bombers are the only ship in which the SECONDARY weapons have an unlimited use.The "Mines have CDs"argument is not valid because all secondary weapons (i am excluding railguns as they require the shooter to remain stationary AND charge their weapon to fire) have CDS, on top of which other ships also have ammo restrictions. I personally am in favour of ammo restriction on mines. I also realizes that most people complaining about this purposed restrictions are bomber pilots who dont want their advantage (However, slight it is) to be removed.

So I have been doing GSF on various characters and I have a Clarion and a Pike however I've been leveling a new alt and am now torn between getting the Pike or Clarion first. I just wanted to get other peoples opinion on each ship.

They also said after their evaluation, that how their servers are setup and run do not allow for cross server PvP or any cross-server queues for that matter.

simple solution is to just always need. And you do need certain amount of rep to get gear and crafting schematics.

I have had my Black-Green Crystal for forever now and think that it should be a collection item. Any items that people think should be collectable?

I'm still waiting on Wookies, although it seems to me now that BioWare would keep them out just out of spite for the die hard fans.

For the longest time BioWare has said that certain races were off limits due to the fact that they needed to have dialogue for the story. However since BioWare has dropped continuing the player stories, what is really holding them back from adding the races that we love (such as Rodian, Trandoshan, Wookie, etc) to the list of playable choices? [Edit] I realize that the development team is small, however they could release a group of new playable races in one of the smaller expansions (GSF and the new GSH being examples of smaller expansions) or make them available through the Cartel Market.

I would really just like a ranked queue for a leaderboard to see where I rank on my server and with other players. But if they could add this to the current queue then i would be happy. To me it seems like GSF was a great initial idea but with Galactic Strongholds coming to subscribers in June and there still being balance issues with GSF I'm scarred that GSF will become the next Ilum.

And who payed for this algorithm? BioWare. Who pays to make sure the algorithm is working correctly? BioWare. Who allows the players to use this algorithm? BioWare. Who knows (as in is not just speculating without any citation or evidence) the cost of the algorithm and man-power needed to perform transfers? BioWare. So for all you KNOW (not speculating) it could cost BioWare $15 a transfer. OP you really have no idea the cost and man-power needed to perform these operations and show little to no understanding of how businesses work. BioWare needs to make money, and even if it costs them a cent to do a transfer, that is still a cost to them. You seem to think that you having more characters than another player entitles you to be treated better than them.

I'm not big into land pvp, always get trounced by people with better gear and I am just plain bad. However I love GSF and I really want a ranked queue. With only one queue it gets very difficult to win against some higher tiered groups. There players who are too good or too far ahead for new players to even touch them. That is why I think a ranked queue would be good for GSF because the players who have min/maxed their ships are able to compete with people of their caliber. And the newbs then have a queue where your win/loss doesn't necessarily matter. And if aren't going to get a dedicated ranked queue the could we at least get leaderboard so that we can look at the top pilots.

Great time line

Lol I hate PvP, it is not the reason I play any MMO. However GSF has made me reconsider. I wish there was a ranked bracket for Space PvP because that would make matchmaking better. The whole ranked and unranked is there for a reason. When i did PvP in this game the system was unranked was used to gear new 50s (at the time cap was 50) and get PvP gear so that you could go into ranked and not get completely obliterated. Ranked was the PvP that everyone went to to actually compete. People who are competitive gamers want the ranked bracket so that they can find out how good they are in relation to other players.

The most likely thing is BW adding new advance classes to the current dynamic. slowly moving from 8 to 12 ACs with each new AC etting its ow unique weapon. examples for Republic: Trooper- Demolitionist - specializes in AoE dmg and uses a pistol and grenade launcher Smuggler - Privateer - uses a rifle or sniper Jedi Consular - Jedi Watchmen - uses a Saberstaff and is a melee healer? Jedi Knight - Jedi Weaponmaster - wields a greatsaber something along those lines

So I'm sure there a thousand threads about Artifice but since Rise of the Hutt Cartel Artifice has been effectively useless. The 55 crystals that artificers can craft all come from ops and there are no 55 relics. The top off-hand is barely good enough for HM FPs. I'm not saying make all crystals available only available to artificers but here are some of my suggestions to improve this crew skill: Exclusive 2 stat crystals - so instead of just power, endurance, crit, or expertise it is a combination of any two 3 colour dye- dyes that have 3 different colour instead of just two Legacy Crystals- when used by another member of your legacy the character receives a xp boost (not like its need it would just make Artifice more attractive)
