GREAT POST OP!!!! Took everything I have been thinking and put it down better then I could have. Like most here, I'm having a decent time in the game right now, but I could see this getting old fast..
One thing in SWG I loved was searching for rare loot. I would spend hour on end looking for that one rare item I had to have. Once I finally got it, I could not wait to show it off in my shop or sell it to buy an even more impressive article. Sadly, I don't see anything like that happening in this game anytime soon.
