This. Except I have no level 55s. I'd pay separate money for double XP, so even if they don't want to bless the playerbase with them those of us who aren't masochists can still not suffer through the same quests they've done before. Or better yet, I could use them during the week, when I have much more time to play.

Before I launch into my screed, let me make a couple definitive statements. 1. I am NOT referring to GearScore. I didn't like it when I was overgeared for content, I didn't like it when I was undergeared. If I overgear content, I can carry someone. If I am undergeared, I am either confident in my abilities to perform my role to the minimum expectation or in my group to pick up my slack. I'm more than happy to bow out if I think I'm the problem in a group, please believe. In either case, I'd rather check someone's gear manually to see if he has the right stats and talk to them in the process to determine if they suck as people. No one wants to group with buttheads, dummies, happily ignorant noobs, or any other term you wish to use. 2. My account is ending in a couple days, so I won't be able to reply after a while. Hopefully this thread can be a constructive debate over addons of all types. At any rate, I'm at least posting because I'd like to see some info from BW about addons. Having recently leveled a healer to 50, I was reminded of my first healer in WoW. This was back in the TK BC days, and I was the token Disc Priest. (IDS, for those who remember.) I had yet to discover addons other than Decursive and DBM, but I was often complimented on my healing and cleansing abilities. Towards the end of my 2nd month in Wrath, I found Healbot. Gotta say, things took a definite change for the better. Playing my healer got a bit more fun, because instead of having to mind my keybinds and target selection, I memorized clickbinds and was able to respond much more quickly to incoming damage, debuffs, and the like. After a while I swapped to Grid + Clique and really enjoyed being able to monitor buffs, debuffs, bubbles, HoTs, incoming heals from other healers, mana/energy bars, and other numerous but possibly overkill things. Later, I moved on to Rift and returned to my keybinding and target selection ways. Not awful, but much slower way of playing and more frustrating after my newfound simplicity. Now, I'm in TOR, and I'm really enjoying my 50 Sorc healer as well as my baby Agents and Smugglers. In the fast paced world of PvP healing though, I'm missing my Grid + Clique and the easy information acquisition. I feel like I could do more, if only I had an easier to read, more compact but efficient display for my ops/wz/fp members. At the same time, I understand that my preferences are not those of everyone else, so variety in the display of information would be great. So what do you say, BW? When can we get addons? Can we at least open some discussion on the matter? Thanks.

Additional character slots would be awesome, especially considering the tiny differences in male/female stories. Also, the lack of a dual-AC-spec-option means we're rolling 2 of every base class if we want to experience both sides of a class's abilities. That's just enough for one faction. Finally, many people had set up their characters to have the factions split between 2 servers, and with the transfers, that has been mostly blown out of the water. (There's one high pop RP-PVE East Coast realm currently, with the rest being ghost towns.) Would I pay extra for more slots? Probably, but it'd better be a significant amount of slots. Like, 4-8 more, not 2.

On the bright side, that's the best example of the "entitlement" attitude I've ever seen....

Dude I really hope so. We'll see, but I hope so.

Totally see your point, OP. Variety would have been nice. That said, I personally am satisfied mindlessly killing x number of <insert mob name here> and would prefer not to kill 20 of the same mob for a special drop. I prefer the quests in TOR over those in WoW, though I wish we could see the rewards and maybe the various stages of the bonus quests we get. I had the exact same thought on Corellia. I was excited, I FINALLY!!! get to use my powerful skills of forced persuasion, and the chick is all like "no, we need robots for this." I refused the quest because Obviously this chick was too retarded to work for. Obviously.

I hate this question. I don't feel that it's ever been constructive, no matter how mature the answers can be to it. It's like asking why people love/don't love chocolate, or anything else on the planet. It doesn't help either side, it's not like PVE people will be struck with sudden inspiration, clarity, and urge to play PVP by these threads, and vice versa. It's a simple matter of taste, and invariably both sides lord their imagined superiority over the other. Which is absurd, as this is a GAME. These threads rank below the constant whining threads I see. I'd rather watch someone QQ that a mission is too hard, or a class is too OP, than debate PVE vs PVP.

Not really. There was plenty of stuff to do in WoW and people STILL did Ironman runs (among other strange things) to level cap, from Vanilla to this day. If you're bored, that can be expressed, but use a valid argument. Also, I'm far from bored. I have 2 50s who need gear and raid experience and can get them now that there's a population worth a damn on my realm.

American's aren't the only ones who are ragey. I'm sorry EU isn't getting the attention you want, better luck next time. Thanks, OP, for this list. Really enjoy being able to look at a glance who's going where. Cheers!

No, I don't. My patience ran out a month ago, which is when we should have had paid transfers already in place. Yeah, six months is typical and acceptable for a game that has no competition. TOR has competition though, so BW needs to step it up. Additionally, they could have announced more US PVE servers by now. It's been a few hours, things are apparently running smoothly, time to ramp it up. If their game engine is struggling to handle the reasonable expectations of today's MMO gamer, that's not the playerbase's fault.

*facepalm* If this is true, and I'm sure it is, and I'm reading it right, then it's really, really stupid. On topic, yes, I'm very excited. I'm hoping Ebon Hawk and Lord Adraas are the RP-PVE destinations and the rest get dumped onto our servers. I'm not bothered by going to Lord Adraas though. I wish we'd known more earlier though, so we could have had time to cope.

The statement was definitely said by a CS back in December. I remember seeing it myself (and laughing hysterically at the absurdity) while browsing. I think it was the Thursday after official launch and the forums were in a swarm about these horrible populations and queues and OMG I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME I PAID FOR! The irony has not been lost on me. I did reply to that thread commenting that I didn't mind the queues, as it meant I'd have people to play with in 4 months. Funny story, apparently the realm I was playing on at the time also hit Light pop. I was wrong anyway! I'm tempted to look up an old post from the WoW forums and make one of the lines my signature here. Something to the effect of the playerbase not knowing what it needs, only knowing what it wants.

This. Like, he captured everything so well, I almost don't have anything else to say. Except that I think if they wanted to have a population worth releasing 1.3 to, they needed to release transfers before it dropped.

This is pretty serious truth here. My issue is simply that they knew the pops were going to drop, so why didn't they have transfers ready earlier?

I'm telling everyone who complains about the low pop on my server (Ebon Hawk) to try Jedi Covenant or Fatman before quitting, because my experience was very much like the OPs. Difference being, I'm experienced with MMOs, so I already knew there was a massive difference between a heavy and a light pop server. I was enormously pleased with my time on JC and am now waiting for transfers so I can actually play the game.
