Stronghold upkeep is a suggestion I saw elsewhere that seems like a good option. I have all strongholds, not because I use them, but because I want the conquest point bonus. Having to pay credits monthly to keep them unlocked and applying their bonus could be a large credit sink. Just exclude the tiny starter strongholds maybe for players that just want one cheap place. LOTRO does this and it works well. Scale credits based on size, or based on how many you have active, or both.

Ideas for credit sinks. Let players buy other classes ships for exorbitant amounts of credits. Every character I have wants to be flying the Agent ship please. Have high credit cost options for more of the CC only unlocks. Like I get a CM mount, let me unlock that to account for credits. Same with appearance changes. Have a credit option for converting bound to character items into bound to legacy. Reduce the credit cap for player to player trades to 1bil or less, increase the GTN cap to unlimited. There will still be ways around, but it becomes far more inconvenient, time consuming, or risky so most people will not choose to use them.

Credits are a reward for completing tasks. Why is that reward being removed in unfun unrewarding ways. The game needs credit sinks, but those credit sinks should feel rewarding, not punishing or annoying. I should feel happy that I have gotten or unlocked X thing when I spend credits. Not like I am being taxed just for playing the game.

Please stop trying to fix inflation through punishment. Credits are what you give as a reward. Players should get to use that reward for something that is fun. Not drained from then through annoyances and inconvenience. Even if the amount of the charge is inconsequential pop-ups to approve the payment can be incredibly annoying. It's a game, we should be having fun. Not brining in real life annoyances into our fantasy escape.

Since my feedback keeps getting deleted I will try to not give suggestions, only provide the specific opinions allowed. Setting aside inflation in total just speaking to perceived fairness from a new player perspective, this seems punitive and discouraging. Does this seem "fair" if I have 100 billion credits, sure it's never going to matter. Does it seem fair to a new player who earns thousands of credits but everything they want to save up for costs millions if not billions, no it doesn't seem fair at all.

Great concept, needs more guilds to join. I ran a check for JC and had two guilds show up as results. Then I checked how many guilds it was searching from, and it was two.

Hey all, I'm a returning player that is starting over fresh. Looking for a guild that is active between 8pm and 1am PST. Mainly interested in a friendly and mature guild, 30+ would be ideal. If you know a guild like this and can point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I don't really trust the recruitment threads that say mature as we don't really define that the same way. -Edit: I should note that I don't PVP, just stick to PVE only.

You'll want to post in the tech support forums or just contact support. Keep in mind it's probably not an issue on their end for them to fix. Connection issues after a patch are a very common issues with your network. Usually just resetting the modem/router can fix it, but also check security software.
