That is a nice find. I particularly like the part where they say: ""Despite the overall decline, this category has so far managed to maximize their ability to monetize a shrinking yet loyal player base," AKA - Milking the customer. They got that down pretty good:) Sorry, had to throw that in there:) I do like a lot that they've done and it's good to see there revenue is there. I can't wait to see what they use it for in the future. Hopefully, these strongholds are the start of something really great!

That is a good question. I know there is spam but never thought tell them to stop sending. I guess it could be because I don't see the spam. It's almost like they filter it for me:)

This is what I do as well but like I mentioned in a response, I have a bunch of alts like many do by now and even using this method requires me to basically do spammer maintenance every time I swap. It wasn't until this last week that I went back to reporting like I use to do but since Bioware isn't utilizing our reports, it has the same effect. So when I say that I saw 12 gold spammers per minute in general chat, that is after signing onto an alt that I had already ignored gold spammers with earlier that day, meaning there were 12 new gold spammers in the 6 hour period since I last signed on with him. I'm much more willing to deal with a few ignores per character every time I sign on, but the rate of new spammers I saw today is alarming. I have no interest in ignoring over 10 gold spammers every time I sign on to an alt before I get to play this game. Of course I can just turn general chat off, but considering its an MMO, I kind of like it on:)

You are absolutely right. I regularly swap between my 11 level 55's and I should be the one ignoring up to 5 spammers every time I sign in to them because Bioware won't do something about it. Oh wait, I can't because I have reached my ignore list limit for all of them and they are 99% gold spammers on each alt. If they don't bother you, that's fine. Forums are a place for opinions. My opinion is they should do something. I know I'm not alone because many people have been asking since the game came out and we still sit here with no results. I'm sure this will get ignored as well but I'm hoping that maybe one day, one of our threads might actually reach them and they fix this problem. I'm not getting my hopes up or anything, but I can hope:)

Come on Bioware, fix this crap already. A ton of suggestions are being given to you all the time by the community and you still do nothing. I know its a challenge and you love using the excuse that as soon as you ban one, another will pop right up but this is pathetic. There are not that many servers you shouldn't even need our help to account ban them. You should have enough people where at least one employee per day can sign on to each server and ACCOUNT BAN the gold spammers in fleet at that time. You should be able to see them all by yourself without our help. We should never see the same person for 5 days straight standing in the same exact spot the whole time spamming gen chat. We should never see the spamming rate reach over 5 a minute and absolutely should never reach 12 per minute. Bioware, please get your act together!

Those conversion rates make sense to me. Just not sure about getting stuff with the ultimate comms. I have a feeling they would want to keep those for the gear vendors for now, but I'd like to see that open up as well once higher gear becomes craftable. I think pretty much anything making MMG's cheap will be the problem because there should still be an incentive to getting them from raids. I'm just thinking about how things are set up right now and how you can max out on Ultimate comms with 3 ops and a 55 RHM. If I could get an MMG for 8 UCs, that would be 18 MMG's a week per character. I would be in full 180's in a week:) I guess what I'm getting at is our best chance here is to make getting MMG's from a vendor a supplement to getting them from ops and not a total replacement. Then again, I suppose it's not about what the conversion rate is to me, so long as its at least worth it compared to the waste it would be right now. I really just want to find a use for my Elite comms as they currently lay in waste:)

I was really thinking some of those exchange rates you put up would be nicer too. I just had a feeling that I should ask for such a good deal to start with:) I know that if they do this, it will change the prices of all those items on the GTN and could upset people but then again there are a ton of us with worthless elites comms that are already upset so hopefully this would be the better option:)

lol, this falls in line with what I just posted about the MMG vendor cost. I am completely on board with you:)

It's still 20 EEE's and 350 Elite Comms I think we can all agree that the 350 elite comms are not an issue, but those EEE's should be adjusted to make this conversion at least worth it. On the Harbinger, EEE's are going for 63k right now and MMG's are 400k. 20 EEE's would be worth over 1.2 mil. If I had 20 EEE's, I would sell them and buy the MMG's from the GTN way before going to the vendor. Most of this is due to the demand for EEE's skyrocketing once all DG gear could be crafted. My suggestion would be to add some different conversions for us to make Elite comms somewhat useful (my guild refers to them as coms for your alts and companions) 50 Elite comms --> 1 EEE 100 Elite comms --> 1 Isotope-5 2 EEE's and 2 Isotope-5's --> 1 MMG Or something like that. At least then we could use our Elite coms for something. Also, I added the Isotope-5 conversion due to GF rewards now offering Elite instead of Basic. Since Basics can get Isotopes and Elites can't get you anything considering the exchange rate above is so horrible, in a strange way (crafting for BIS wise) the GF rewards are a nerf.

Yeah, level 1 would be nice at least. Not that level 10 takes long to get to anyways, but it would be nice to see more rewards through legacy levels to help us level additional alts faster. Hell, I would have been happier if the legacy level requirement was raised instead of lowered instead of the character level requirement being added. Either way, I guess it doesn't matter too much to me anyways. I was just messing around with this alt, but I have all the 55's I need already:)

The fleet travel is fixed which is great but I am having problems with a new alt and speeder piloting. Its been a while since I rolled an alt but I always use to be able to use cartel coins to unlock speeder piloting 3 right away. Now, I can't unlock any speeder piloting due to level restrictions. Is this some sort of fix to slow us down or is it a bug? I'm really hoping its a bug because I can't come up with any reason why they would waste the time to fix something that made sense. Maybe it wasn't working as intended but it was working in the what I thought was the best interest of everyone. The way I see it, we play to get legacy levels and then can use cartel coins to get speeders earlier with our alts. Seems like a win/win for both sides to me. I could maybe understand fixing it so we couldn't purchase tier 3 before getting 1 and 2. With the level restriction though, its not even worth it to me to get the legacy unlocks. I'll just use credits when I get to the level unlock instead. Anyways, I'm obviously worried this was some sort of fix, but if its not let me know and I'll bug report it.

I know we are always at risk of people who run support sites no longer being around but I have to say this was one of my favorites and now it appears to be down. Anyone know anything about it because I'd love to at least see if there's a way to get the info on there back up, even if it ends up somewhere else.

This and as the last guy pointed out, you were reading Dulfy wrong. It does mention accuracy, but read it again and it is stating that you should have 0 points in accuracy as the person above mentioned. The important thing to point out between the two sites is that even though Dulfy has been around for a while, both sites only started posting guides very recently and neither even has all the guides up yet. There will be mistakes as they add them and the best thing is to do is ask them so they can either confirm or fix their guides. As far as the guy that stated that Dulfy's guides are based on their guild and what works for them, that is true, but those guys also spend a lot of time in the forums and discussing theory crafting and such to get to where they are. I think I lean on Swtorboard a little more right now as well, but both are providing excellent resources that will only make us as a community better.

Thanks, this worked great. It's nice to have this one checked off my list finally.

Its late and I did't have much time to play this game due to work and tonight I don't even get to finish a simple round of the event due to your wonderful implementation of the PVP Flag. Thank you pubs. You make the game better by abusing this on a PvE server. Thank you EA for such a ridiculous system. Here's to hoping one day you realize that some people on a PvE server might just want to PvE and not be prevented from completing a mission because 20 PvP players find tricky ways to get unsuspecting players flagged.

Just made my Inquisitor on the Shadowlands. CourtneyWoods was invalid so I went with Courtneyfan:)

I ran into this before too. I found it was just a matter of how I was pulling up the folder with the screenshots in it. Opening my computer and clicking Libraries/Documents/Star Wars - The Old Republic/Screenshots was empty. I had to go through the C:/Users path the find the Screenshots folder with actual screenshots in it. Not sure if this will help in your case but hopefully it will be something easy like this.

I really didn't think I cared much about this but I just found myself checking out the Vintage Brawler Battle Harness and did not buy it for this entire reason. My character is wearing pants already. This flap is so misplaced it completely ruins the look.

I understand this is a concern. but it really shouldn't. Since we don't have cross faction chat working right now, the work around is to use VOIP software. In PvP, not only can they still use that but its an even faster way to transmit information. Also, in a PvP map, can't they use /say or /yell right now and have everyone hear them. I know its not privately sending information but if cross faction chat is being kept from us for PvP then that should be disabled too. I don't want that to happen either, but I don't think every PvE player that wants to see the story on the opposite side should have to suffer not being able to keep in touch with their guild while doing so.

Pleased enable cross faction chat through custom channels. I know that there were issues with immaturity in beta with cross faction general chat but there is no reason I can see to not allow it in custom channels. If people are going through the effort to make a channel for this purpose, they are not doing it to grief each other. There are many guilds now that have players interested in doing content on the other side while still staying in touch with their guild. This would be a great tool for this. Custom channels are already in place so it should be easy to remove that restriction. btw, I am basing this off of creating a custom channel on the imp side and then joining it on the pub side and attempting to talk to another guildie still on the imp side. It didn't work so I attempted to invite him to the channel and was presented with "xxxxx is not in your faction" From what I can tell, the channel was never created on the pub side so /cjoin instead made a different channel with the same name on the pub side.

I know that they are common in all games but its been getting pretty bad in this game recently. Every time I sign in, its like clockwork that I see a spammer posting every 54 secs. The issue I have is how many DAYS in a row I will see the same spammer. This just seems like absolute laziness. I know I report them and I'm sure others do too so what's the excuse here? Why are they are they allowed to post so long before they get banned? I am trying to not be a conspiracy theorist here and believe that they are somehow giving EA a cut, so I'm going to believe that maybe its an issue with notifications going out to those that can ban them or the thinking that banning one will just spawn another so why the rush. What I suggest is to maybe have a filter set up so if someone were to post something like "mmowin", it would just not go through. Instead of trying to block every account as they make them, prevent them from telling everyone their site in the first place. As they come up with new clever ways to post, add them to the filter. I know the spammers are a part of MMO's, but please attempt something more than what I've been seeing lately.

Haha, yeah that's good to hear at least. I'd just love to see it fixed and hopefully soon:)

http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj321/jumprun4112/25046023-54fa-4bdf-a3c3-6cb20bfd3934.jpg Its been almost a week now and I was happy to hear an initial response saying you would look into it, but have you yet? I'd like to at least know its a bug and not intentional, because this is disgusting.

Ever since 2.0 came out, I've been seeing a problem with healing companions drop out of their stance or stop healing or whatever you want to call it. It doesn't happen often, but its annoying to see your health dropping like a rock and your healing companion sitting there pew pewing some random add instead of healing. My solution was to uncheck their dps abilities (usually 4 and 6). They still occasionally do their autoattack, but I found they don't get distracted from their healing responsibility as often. I don't have Treek to see if this is the case for him as well, but maybe it is and hopefully this will fix him as well.

Just wondering if this is possible now or are they still making these missions not very appealing. I know they still have their uses, but I would rather re-zone to get Rich or Bountiful on all 5 companions because of this design. I'd really love to just send 5 out and be on my way. I guess this is just one of those things that never made sense to me so I'm wishfully hoping it has changed.
