I played this game as soon as it came out. I loved it at first!!! I was so looking forward to a story driven MMO. I left shortly before F2P became available. I left for a few reasons and missed the game for many others. The reasons I left was the PVP. I enjoy PVP but at the same time it was pretty much the only thing anyone did. War Zones do get old from my point of view. I would log onto a planet and there would be 3 players on. There was no PVE oppertunity that I could find. My buddy and I would have to run flashpoints with our companions as finding group members would take for ever. I had become a single player game with WarZones as a place to see some folks and remind myself that others did play. To be fair to the community, I work long hours and don't have the time it can take to fully integrate into a player base. People I did become friends with would be level 50 way before I hit 30 and so on. So I left, I have re-subbed for a month to see if things have changed. I hear that things have changed a little. Many of the OP comments ring true to me. I think the Space combat sucks... lol but I still play them. I think it can be hard to find good people to run with, yet they must be there. Crafting in this game takes no time out of my play so i have no compaints there. The story lines are oh so sweet and really are what keep me interested. As far as game chalange goes... I found I would skip side questing because I was always way to ahead of the curve in power. I have never had a challenge with planet or solo quests. If I needed a boost in power, one or two flashpoints would get me up to par and they are really fun to boot. I am now level 47, Op Healer and 45 marauder. I am having a tough time finding flash point groups. I am finding level 45-49 very slow as there are few others in that range. I will hit 50 soon and then decide weather I want to keep subbing. It could be that I find my place in the community. I could be that its just not the game for me. Thanks to all those I have had fun with and to all those I will have fun with.

It really got to me that, you can buy lots of Heavy from the dark side. Modable Boots and gloves. You can buy Light social Modable from every damn planet. Yet, it took me a very long time to get Med modible boots gloves head... Fair? No. The anoying part is that I was all eager when I got to the next planet Tattoeen. "Wait... light again for socail. Ok ok,, perhaps. Aldearan.. ***??? Light again??!!! Taris? Light!!!...." Can someone tell me the point of social points to anyone but light armour users? Bioware... Please, it would enhance many peoples game play fun to be able to have options... I say, keep the light socail. And add a med and heavy that look diff from the light. Everyone gets thier unique style options based on char type. Is there any Med gear other then PVE, Craft and pvp? Ones that takes mods, I mean. Light gets socail, Space, PVP, PVE, Crafting. Heavy gets Darkside, pvp, pve Crafting, Is it hard for them to creat a few new skins, for Heavy and Med that takes mods? Best,

SO, I am playing am Oparative Medic, Just hit 34, So far its a fun play style and I love the mechanincs. I do have to ask, From what I hear and reading the posts, Medics are a tad underpar to other healers at end game. Ok fine, But I also hear that they are under par as dps at end game. I have been told we don't have anough sustained damage. and with this new nerf??? Is the oparative needed for anything end game? Are we on par with other classes at anything endgame? Best, Mizry

I am on empire side, so it may not work as well on Repbulic due to lower pop. I picked a craft and got lucky. I spent an hour looking over the galactic Market for items that are between levels 15-29. On a piece of paper I wrote all the items that were hard to find. What could I not buy? Then I cross checked all those items, mods, ear peaces, what stats were no were to be found on the galactic market with venders. I wanted to make sure that you could not just buy the items from a vender. Then I picked 1 of those items and made some. Kept my eye out for schematics. Also a note,, don't try and sell things you can get out of Flashpoints, planet comendations, or PVP gear. Long story short. I make easy, 25-75k creds from 1-3 hours of play. I constanty have my crew out on missions and I make surtain level 21 item that no one elce makes and sells. Level 21 is cheep to make, yet people start to think about spending some credits at that point. Lots of people have 50s now and so they have the Credits to spend on thier alts. Hope that helps. A little research, find what people want, and can not get. Then see if you can fill that need. Best of luck.

This is only my veiw. I understand that many other people will disagree and thats cool. I don't enjoy gear driven games as much. When you have PVP Gear, and this gear and that gear, I find that skill, and character disign have much less impact on gameplay. As far as segmented PVP goes, I don't mind the way it is now. I don't feel bad when a level 50 takes me down when I am level 24, but it feels great when I take a level 50 down. I don't take level 50s down very often.. heh,, Level 50s are just starting to emerge. They can off set the ballance of the matches for sure. Personaly I would give it 1 more month or two and see how things are working. Perhaps by that time there will be more level 50s all round and matches might be more ballanced. And if they are not, then at that point perhaps change is needed.

I agrea with all my heart, Open World PVP> The game rocks. and I know that It will get old unless there is some good fun open PVP> Area's with quest rewards and resource nodes to attract players is a great idea. As far as faction ballance... It can suck. I have always played the underdog and have never had an issue with poor ods. Yes, It would really be nice to have pvp in PVP Servers. The Warzones are cool but they get old very fast.. There is no fealing of "epic" starwars battle between good and evil and I think some solid Open PVP could help that.
