People who can't understand what a server-wide community is, are mostly your Wrath-babies. Or people who came from games with server sizes so small it's like a regular community once you've combined via a finder. You don't understand it because you've never had the benefit of one. The analogy of community being your own town is a good one. You can't really say everybody in the world is part of your actual community. The same for a server, think of that as your virtual town.
People saying there was never a community are either bold faced lying, or have been on some of the worst servers in the world, or are Wrath-babies. Either way, your view is skewed compared to what a real community is for the majority of servers most of us are referring to. Thus, although I pity you, your view is invalid, if you're truthfully saying your server was full of such rampant ninjas and trolls. I've migrated so several servers over the years, some better than others, but none of them were what these "never had a community" naysayers want you to believe.
To the people who think a loot-system should be put in place. Why? Why should a program do the policing when we could simply police ourselves? Why would you want people to queue as tank, although obviously they can't do the role just yet, just so you're happy that they can't fill slots they need so you can have a ninja-free run? Want to make sure your run is ninja-free? Do something that's a somewhat lost art and actually communicate with your party members, and establish some loot priorities. Problem solved, and no robot was present to do the job for you, hell, maybe you might even make a friend or two..

Do your own math, maybe?

Gigabyte 990FXA-UMD Motherboard
AMD FX 8120 overclocked to 4.0ghz per core
16g 1866 speed G Skill DDR3 ram

H100 Corsair water cooler on the processor.
I have a pretty middle-ground PC, nothing very fancy. Mostly middle of the road type of gear. I have never dipped below 50 FPS with everything maxed in any warzone, 16 man ops, or on Fleet. Your problem is indeed a random setting or something. I don't have anywhere near even a $2,000 computer, so your (supposed) 10k euro computer is failing you somewhere.

If it was never intended to be used that way, why did they take the time to change it to cancel when hit and not just remove it like they did this time?
Unfortunately I'm not a developer, so I can't answer that question. I would agree that it should have been an out of combat only tool at onset, but I'm not a developer.
-
It was never intended as it was (a cheap way of getting out of an instance even while being wailed on). Take your death, as you should.

Although we are indeed getting a dual spec system in the near future, with the amount of content already put into the Legacy system, with even more planned, alts are supposed to be our primary way of switching out roles to fill a vacant position. At least for the short term.
They want us to use alts, we get some pretty nice benefits if we do, and although it takes a larger time commitment than just sinking credits into an NPC, we end up getting the most out of it.
I wouldn't be surprised, once dual spec actually gets released, that our respec costs are increased to at least get some of the sink back that the original cost was doing. If you think for a second that by making something more convenient, and also trying to avoid an intended sink, is going to save you money, you'd be wrong. The economy needs sinks like this or we'd have massive inflation on our hands, it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not, sinks need to happen. All this does is force the devs to put a sink elsewhere, or make something else commonly bought increase in price.

Cap is level 50. It was answered in the Guild Summit. Believe it or not, and don't forget the summit was quite a while ago, people were already in their late 40s when they asked.

You would get banned for monopolizing yourself in the market.

Not at all. My server isn't the greatest, but it's fine for what I like to do. Free transfers will make the problem of empty servers and queue times for full ones even worse, so I'd prefer there be some kind of limit.
That said, if they did free transfers to Bioware recommended servers (low pop ones that need a boos, from the high pop ones) then I'd be fine with that. Make people pay to ditch an already struggling server, though, as they aren't helping.
I would agree to this suggestion.

Currently quests (and of course dailies) are the average player's biggest source of income, by a vastly large margin. Enabling items given as daily rewards through other, most likely quicker, means, would downturn the economy very drastically. This would encourage monopolies, and lower the average player's income to a very big degree. Changing one small aspect of the game, because it affects such a large portion of the economy, would be a detriment to the game as a whole. The only way I could see this happening is if we were given another way to produce as much, if not more, income through another source.

It means all the armor models before 1.2 won't have movable armoring slots, where the set bonuses are located. Any piece of gear put in 1.2 and beyond have movable armoring. With older set bonuses being worked on in a future patch. Do any of you people even read patch notes or do research? This has all been well documented.
-
It's been discussed several times by the developers, including well documented coverage of the Guild Summit. Advanced Classes are considered separate classes.
You are also prompted by a window in the middle of your screen telling you this change to AC is permanent, and by clicking on that window, without hesitation on your part, is your own fault.
It takes 2 hours to make another character, if even that if you're going back to the same starter planet, since you already know most of the quests and locations.
-
You DO know we have a parser, right? And it can be recorded in real time, and sent to anybody you want, right?
-
Aside from viewing your own self parses, I would suggest sithwarrior(dot)com. Let me first say that no, I don't work with/for them or am I in any way going to profit by you vising their site, they just happen to be the EJ of TOR for now.

You can probably set your settings a bit higher than medium, especially with your resolution. Warzones aren't bottle-necking me any, the only frame lag I feel is during my visits to Fleet in prime-time. Which I would suppose would bog anybody down under the highest settings. I don't have everything possible maxed, but pretty close, which is fine by me. I haven't really messed with the OC functions on my card yet, I'm keeping it for a future build in SLI with another 550, but in a few months, if you're still curious, I plan on pushing both of them to see what 2 of them can add. This will be combined with an AMD FX8120 OCd to 4ghz and 16 gigs of GSkill Snipers (the 1866 speeds), all of which will be liquid cooled.

Game time is a service, not a product. You don't get refunds on services. You paid for the 6 months, you're getting 6 months. If you payed for 6 months and decide you don't want to continue with the rest, that's your problem. It doesn't matter how you feel about the game, you could have paid for 6 months of pong, you still forked over the cash, and they gave you 6 months of play time, how you use it doesn't matter.
-
I have the EVGA version, and I'm doing fine. I don't think there's much variance from the two manufacturers, aside from maybe a different paint job. I can OC my card if I desired, adjust the fan speed, but that's about it.
-
You can't force people to switch sides. Sure you can create incentives, but in the end, it's player choice. All the incentives in the world won't stop a person from rolling a faction that friends are playing. Just not going to happen. Not much Bioware can do about it.
-
What you're asking for, OP, isn't feasible. That's the equivalent of saying "I gave Bioware money, I should be rewarded". There is no such thing as a reward if it wasn't earned in some manner.
You've stated you have a level 32 character, so I'm going to assume you're past Tatooine. Finishing your class quest on Alderaan is all you need to do, which can easily be done with the time you can spend, and you get the free month. And you still have time to do it. Currently today is the 19th, you have 3 days, if you can't complete a few quests in 3 days time, you have other issues besides gaining a free month.
As an aside, it's impossible to satisfy everybody, somebody is going to feel they've been given the short end of the stick, this time it happens to be you. The time it took you to write this rant, you could have been working towards your goal. If simply don't have the time to finish up, don't complain about it, it's your own fault. Don't use your actual life as an excuse to why you weren't rewarded in a game, your reward is your life.

OH, and let's not forget the strange department. Americans and other European brethren have had a large majority when it comes to the strange, but no. Lately there has been an uprising, a sneak attack, a front which has largely been hidden to the prying eyes of the media and most common folk. With acts such as the drug infested Ozzy, and Marilyn Manson, we've been accustomed to providing strange and unusual entertainment to the masses, but underneath our noses, we've been attacked, by the Japanese.
Sure, we could let Katamari slip, it was a somewhat neat game, it had it's elements that could turn us away from anything reality based, but it's been amplified recently. I'm going to show you an example, but you should have your children cover their eyes, I don't think they are prepared for the horror.
Never mind the cleverly placed cute girl, the obvious intent here is our coveted strange department, which is truly being threatened. We as world powers need to react, and swiftly, before this gets out of hand, or, if left unattended, could destroy us all.

Not sure how it could get put in, with such a late start, but I would suggest more tacos. There has been a huge limit on the amount of tacos we could eat in TOR, and I would suggest they totally add more of them.
I mean, who doesn't like tacos? Besides all of you truly evil and despicable bastards out there, who can hate the joy a taco brings? Nobody, that's who. We could have taco pets, taco mounts, taco weapons and armor, the list is almost endless! But why? Why no tacos? Do we not deserve it? Are we not entitled to more tacos? Why for the love of Pete can we never have enough tacos?
And another point I'd like to make; pudding.
Have you seen this? :
Do we REALLY want the Japanese to take over the pudding market? REALLY? This would mean world destruction, on a global scale. All of those super smart scientists would be correct in assuming the Japanese takeover. Pudding is just the start, next it will be our electronic devices, our anime, maybe....even...our....robots.
-
Either way, none of it can be used in a Flashpoint, Warzone or Operation. So even if you do manage to stack as much as possible, all you can do with it once you hit 50 are dailies. Sure, the benefit is there, and it can be used, but in a severely limited scope.
-
As mentioned above, it's a Legacy ability, which among all the other Legacy abilities, has limited use, which has been well documented, and you had every chance to not spend your money. If you fail to do your research, despite Bioware's literal flood of information, it's your own fault.
-
So you're making a thread, which already has several other threads, even though it doesn't affect you personally, why?
Comment on one of the others, or don't bother, seriously. And people wonder why their threads get locked....
Tank nerf...
