Sorry no one got back to you, but yes we do. We also run Ops and HM flashpoints casually throughout the week. We took a few weeks off for the holidays but we will be running at least one progression group again after the New Year.
Honestly, if this game is heading towards micro-transactions, I'm heading out the door. They'll start with small appearance items and it will snowball from there. If this is indeed their plan, I'm as good as un-subbed.
Bad idea BW.
