For Level 55 gear, it's totally necessary to have item ratings show to discriminate between the entry level stuff and the NIM gear. BUT when I'm levelling up, it's actually a real pain in the behind, as my Level 37 Powertech has, on his chestpiece, Armoring 94, Mod 100, Enhancement 94. Which tells me that the armoring/enhancement are behind the mod. But it doesn't tell me whether it's level appropriate or not. It could be I'm still running around with a level 25 mod and level 23 armoring/enhancement. Yes, I can dig into the item itself (like we used to have to do to figure out rating), but there's no quick way to check if all my pieces are at spec/level. Why not have an option for (level-rating) to appear? I know it's still confusing, but just make it a toggle option for rating/level/level-rating.

So... I still haven't got any characters past level 50. So for preordering I get a Hutt training statue (which is pretty cool, mind you, but not indispensable) and a couple of titles. Compared to people who buy it now and get money back as cartel coins and an extra month of playing the expansion. So as a sub who preordered the expansion to get it a little cheaper than "normal", why did I bother preordering? I'm with the other people in that if you were going to make it free I would have been better off buying CC (or not spending money on the game at all). I know it's a sense of "entitlement" that we're not necessarily entitled to, but let's just say it's the dedicated subs, who are the steady source of income, who you're offending here. *pulls out popcorn and keeps watching the subs rage*
