Well, the takeaway _I'd_ have from the post is that, in the US, governments are more likely to take the tax revenue and give it away to already-wealthy individuals and corporations in the form of "tax relief." At least, that's what's happened over the past thirty years or so.

1. Group-matching tool, like a Dungeon Finder 2. The option to choose high-resolution textures re: 1., it's just not efficient to try grouping for Flashpoints while levelling. In the time it took to find a party and actually start an FP, I could've gained a level or more by doing solo quests and mob grinding. Or if I really wanted, PvP. And for #2, respectfully, my computer is more than capable of running whatever texture resolutions the designer could throw at me. At least give me the option of turning on the high textures that were present in beta. Warn me in big red letters: "This may make the game unplayable," but for Pete's sake, let me try! I'm sure I'll be back in a month or six when both of these options are in the game. It's inevitable and just a matter of time.

Someone brought up the fact about not being able to mark targets. I seem to recall there being a Social I item on Coruscant that is like "Republic Marking Item." I don't have it either but maybe I'll grab it and see what it does. I think it was also on Ord Mantell for like 500 creds.

I literally skipped the entire planet of Taris except for the main quest chain. Didn't do a single side quest. That's because I left Coruscant at lvl 19 with just a little PvP and a couple of flashpoints under my belt. No grinding either. My first alt will probably skip all the side quests on Coruscant and head to Taris at 15 or so. And then maybe the second alt will skip the side quests on Nar Shaddaa. Hard to believe how many quests there are and how many ways to level. I'd love to see something like EQ2's system where you can turn off quest or combat XP. That way, folks who just want to experience all the content without outleveling it can.

/agree with Rabbit. I bought the game myself two days ago and have been playing for the past three hours. I think that if you buy a digital copy today, it'd be open for early access tomorrow at the latest.

Yep, I'll add to the chorus. Pre-ordered Dec. 14 2am and just got early access. See you all in game!
