You can, but i found that it was much more rewarding critting the orange gear instead of the purple, as the amount of materials involved are much higher making purple gear. The purple gear does come ready to use though, complete with armoring and mods. You just get the augment extra. I've tried to crit the Rakata combat medics belt for example, after 9 tries, (thats 72 mando iron, and 9 biometric alloys +rest) still no luck

There is a big differance on purple and orange moddable gear, the differance being that when orange gear is crafted, it can "crit" adding an augmentslot to that piece of armor, making it a better moddable item then the purple counterpart.

I think if you take away lockouts, and people get a way to gear up in a week, they will leave a week after that.

I do not agree with you here, because i think we costumers are the same and should be treated as such. Give everyone a free month, not just some, espcially if want them to keep playing. Youre talking about engame right? to keep people subbed? I honestly think that people making and playing alts and/or taking there time will be there longer then someone playing endgame, lets be honest, there is not much end-game to begin with.

Well said. I'm playing this game together with a friend when he is online, i did get the free month, but he isnt lvl 50, and he at Legacy level 4, so he didn't get it. He aslso said the same exact thing you just did, and cancelled his subscription. Sadly i think he will not be comming back though....

lolwut? Grats on the clear guys, up to NM!

Only those are Black-Hole comms though, the rest is just daily comms

Tbh, i wouldnt mind waiting till end april or even may. IF that means that when it goes live its bug free...

I think that could be it, for me the problem isn't game breaking yet. Still, there are many more that do feel that it is game breaking, and i understand where they are comming from. There are to many light servers and it's also up to BW to do something about it, if they want a steady player base. Atleast, thats what i think.

Its really and i mean really lacking community. Its almost non existant. The guild im in usually makes up for 30% of the people in the fleet In other mmo's there was always someone that needed help, had questions or there was a discussion in general chat (good ones, not childish) i miss that. The pvp queue isn't that bad, altough you really get to know all opponents

True, i could do that. but i won't, but won't complain either. Because you are right, it is an option, just not an option i would take. I can only hope that it won't take so long to be able to transfer. Besides, noone knows what will happen in the meantime, the population on my server is low, but it seems stable. Im in a guild doing HM Ops and pvp, so im playing the game, and having fun.

Well, good for you. I actually selected that very server, and it has a good population, only little thing that cought my attention was the complaining about rerolling and the wow debats though. I must admit, i didn't level past level 12. Still doesnt make me wanna reroll. I'll keep playing like i do now (probably) and wait what future brings. Hopefully transfers and or merge's.

Who's complaining? Track my post history, im not. I'm loving the game, play any time i can. I would just like to see some increase in population. (think merge?) Nice you put out "that many of us dont encounter" Im assuming here that you play on a more populated server? And again, its not a option for me to reroll. Because i choose not to, it has nothing to do with lazy. Its easy to judge someone over the internet isnt it?

Read, then post. First sentance i wrote is that i agree with the population being spread to thin. Last sentance that i dont think people will reroll on low populated servers. Also i tried rerolling, so i did try. Leveling to 50 and gearing up could take 2 weeks, IF you have absolutely nothing else in your life. Luckily i do have, therefor it took me almost 2 months to level, and get HM geared. Because i can't play 24/7 due to work, familily, kids and other hobby's that dont envolve computerscreens. Its says nowhere that im expecting others to solve my problem, other then Bioware. (again, first sentance, second part) Try again.

Basicly OP does have a point, population is spread to much, this needs to be adressed imo. My server has 20-40 people on fleet in prime time, making it a low populated server. Ive tried rerolling on a heavy server, and see a huge increase of population number (think 150 or more in the starter area) but i just can't start all over again, i just won't. As for people moving to low populated servers: not going to happen, probably for the same reason as me. ( And there moving to a almost dead server.) I'm waiting for 1.2 hoping for a return of some players, but if the population isnt going to rise, ill think ill rather unsub and leave then level a new toon
