COH introduced user created missions and many players promptly created missions using the easiest defeated mobs that gave the most XP. they created "fast leveling" missions and players then did nothing but those and stopped doing the normal missions in the world. You ended up with everyone just grouping up at the mission creator area, do a mission, reset it and do it again, over and over again, gaining levels rapidly. Practically ruined the game until the devs made some changes.

Then I guess you will just have to wait until they do the selectable cooldown feature, then you can select the one you like. Personally I have not had any problems with the current situation, but I do not do PVP so that aspect of it is not an issue for me, even though it may be for others..

This is your problem. If you are using the same hard drive, that means that drive has the Windows installation on it from your previous system. Using that to boot a new system, with a drastically different motherboard means that Windows has to try to re-configure it's entire registry to the components on the new board, and most times that will not work and Windows will not run. Also if your old board had the Bios SATA mode set for ATA (or did not have that choice at all) and the new one is set for AHCI, that it will not work either, as the Windows load was done for ATA mode, not AHCI mode. When you make a significant change to the main board, you generally have to install Windows fresh on the new system.

If you do not want to be vulnerable to attack by an enemy player, anywhere, any time, at any level, then play on a PvE server.

Parallels is a virtual machine software that lets you run Windows on a Mac system. The OP would probably be better running Windows under Bootcamp (on the MAC), instead of using parallels. With parallels, Windows is running on top of the MAC OS. With Bootcamp, Windows is running directly on the hardware, with no MAC OS running under it.

Like they guy with the green text said. If they did staggered down times, those who play on servers that are down would just make alts on the servers that are up, just to screw around (harassing the "regulars" on that server) while they wait for their own servers to return. And it would create long login queue times with so many players concentrated on the few servers that were up at any given time.

However much resources it would take, those resources would be taken away from whatever other things they need to use their resources on, such as bug fixes, design changes, new content, etc. They (like any other company) do not have an infinite amount of resources (money, personnel, time, etc) and they must decide where best to expend the resources they do have. As someone said, "They have bigger fish to fry" beyond a "barbershop" feature.

Yes, the problem is you paying 20k for that stim. Don't pay that much for a one use item.

So you made one character, speed leveled it to 50, then sped through the "endgame" stuff, and are now complaining there is nothing left to do? Have you tried playing any of the other 7 classes? To see different areas and different storylines? Or does that not interest you? If not, then perhaps it is time for you to quit and go find another MMORG where you can speed to max level and go through the same thing again.

If all you want to do is log in, do some PVP matches, then log off, then this is not the game for you. Try World of Tanks. That is a third person shooter, using tanks. Battles have a 15 minute limit, most are over in less than ten. As you gain points from the battles, you can upgrade your tanks. And it's Free to play (with purchasable options).

The "generic path", as you call it, is the "safe" investment of development funds. Game companies that do "non standard" stuff most times will not survive (a few will, mostly independent groups, not the big name developers like BW). When you spend 200 million on building a game, the investors want some reasonable assurance they will have return on their investment. Going "out of the mainstream" is too risky for such a large investment.

On the plus side you don't have a half dozen players all in the same area competing for the same quest mobs or items to click on, all waiting for respawns then seeing who can get it first when it does respawn.

That's the idea. This game is supposed to give the players an experience of playing in the Star Wars universe. And all anyone has ever seen (not just read, but actually seen) of that is from the movies and the KOTOR series (and other computer games). The reason it is 3000 years ago is so the activities occurring do not interfere with the already established stories and lore from the movies and books.

Speaking of quest rewards... I have noticed that the quest rewards are tailored to your class. Each class gets different stuff (other than commendations and loot boxes). So every quest that rewards gear will have gear that is appropriate for your class. You may not need that gear depending on what you already have but you will not be seeing light armor rewards if you are a Trooper, for example. Unlike some other "well known big MMORg" where your warrior could get a piece of cloth armor as a quest reward.

Never been to Ilum. Don't do PVP. So I don't care.

That's half the problem with many players. Burning through the game rapidly, then complaining there is nothing left to do. This game is just over a month old and you already have two 50's? Yes, in general, the MMO offerings have less player to player interactions then they did in the past. Most are built to allow solo play all the way to the max level, even though you will be missing some of the "group required" content. But that just means one should "slow down" a bit and enjoy the journey and not treat it like a "race to max level".

Well gee golly whiz... Not every product ever made will be liked by every person in the world. Not even this one. So if you feel the game is not for you, stop playing it and go find something you do like.

Will they even do that? Correct YOUR mistake (not a game program bug)?

If they did staggered downtimes (to allow for prime time hours in various parts of the world), then those who play on servers that are down during a certain time would just roll new characters on the server that are still up at that time, just to be able to play something. So the servers still up would get flooded with a lot of "temporary" players, creating long login queue times, and those temporary players would have no real interest in maintaining a positive reputation on their "temporary" server and would just be creating a cesspool of bad behavior, thus ruining it for those who play on those servers regularly. This happened in WoW when they tried to take the Oceanic servers down at a different time as the North America ones. All those on the NA servers flooded the Oceanic ones because they were the only ones up at that time. And it was a nightmare for those Oceanic players. So they quickly went back to the "all servers down at the same time" maintenance schedule.

Why? That is a waste of the moderator's (GM) time and just fills up the ticket queue. GM's cannot do anything about server populations and possible mergers. that is way beyond their area of work. Server merging is something the developers have to do, not the GMs. So the answer you got was just a canned "the appropriate division is looking into it" answer, which is perfectly fine for your ticket. Nothing wrong with a canned answer if it properly gives you the correct information.

Check your keymapping. Maybe your "run-walk" function (normally on that / key) got remapped to something else by mistake and you need to use that key, instead of the / key.

Then stop paying for it. You offer no suggestions for improvement (that haven't already been made by others). Your entire post is just a rant about how you feel the state of the game is.

In any MMORG that has in game currency, there will always be those who will try to sell that currency for real world money. In order to stockpile their currency they will use certain methods. One of those is botting to collect in game assets in bulk (currency, goods that can be sold for currency, etc). Another method is to take over someone's account (compromised account) and strip their characters of all currency and valuables and mail it all to the seller's account. Game developers and moderators (GM's) institute various methods to try to stop the "bad guys", and then the bad guys just come up with new methods, then the developers come up with new countermeasures, then the bad guys come up with newer methods, and so on. In a never ending "arms race". There will always be botters and other "bad guys" in any MMORG. Has been since the invention of the MMORG.

My renew date was Jan 22, and that's when I got charged for the next 30 days. I got my founders badge in the mail yesterday (25th). It may take a few days after you get charged for the Founder mail to arrive in your characters mail. Just be patient.

With no auto attack you actually have to take an active role in playing your character in combat. You can't just click once and sit back and let auto attack do it all for you. Some games have auto attack, some don't. It's just a design decision on the game maker's part.
