  1. Hello, I hope you all are having a wonderful day. SWTOR was my dad’s and my first MMO and for that it holds a special place in our hearts. That being said we are PVE players, we play this game for the stories, the power fantasy of being a Sith or a Jedi, Republic or Empire. We have been playing since day one, and enjoyed the growing journey that this game has provided; but being PVE players, not affiliated to any guild anymore, because we chose to not be (we neither have the time nor the dedication to be part of a guild; also my dad is 63 and although being and avid gamer, still doesn´t grasp many of the concepts of an MMO), we found ourselves, again, having been playing this game since day one (albeit on an off at times), that we have completed and enjoyed the “single player story”, and done some flashpoints, but haven’t done, and probably never will experience, any of the operations and raids. Not being able to experience the variety of stories and scenarios crafted by the devs through the years kind of sucks. Seeing as how, not so long ago, the “story mode” and “solo flashpoints mode” were introduced to the game, which we enjoyed a lot and facilitated to those that wanted to experience the game and stories at their own pace to do so; without the skill wall, or the social anxiety of letting down teammates because not being good or skilled enough (regardless of if the teammates where supportive and accommodating or highly competitive, unfriendly and unforgiving). I was wondering if in the near future a “solo/story mode” could be implemented on all PVE content; always respecting the hard-core player base, adding a new way of experiencing content, never taking away. Seeing as how the direction the game had been taking the last years was aimed at a more “single player experience”, which is how we play the game, we would love to be able to experience flashpoints, operations and raids in a “single player way”, maybe in the way that WOW does, letting you solo old content without much trouble, and yet maintaining the challenging raids and other content to those that chose to do them at the higher difficulties. This is just my opinion, I know SWTOR is an MMO and the notion that some content should be kept behind a skill or multiplayer wall is strongly established. I know there’s the “looking for a random group” system. We have tried being part of a guild, and joining random groups, been there, done that, won’t do again. I know that probably the mechanics, effort and investment would be significant, and probably the devs are in survival mode when it comes to SWTOR, after all they ultimately answer and are managed by EA. But just saying, without taking anything out of the game, we would love to see a “story/solo mode” for all PVE content, adjusting the rewards (gear etc.) to the level, never conflicting with the hard-core crowd of course. And although this is just a dream, and we are somewhat resigned to (probably) never be able to experience the different stories offered by the game. We think it would be a nice addition to the game, after all the effort put into crafting those stories It feels kind of sad that in the end, they can only be experience by a fraction of the player base. If you read my thoughts, thank you. I hope you have a great day. Whether you agree or disagree, may the force be with you.
