average raid group. 8 people but because were talking more than 2 types of healers ill say a 16 man. in that instance so you can have at least 3 healers not the same class...you cant say for sure will that healer be single target healing.. healing a larger group.. or healing just 2 people.. also factor in will their targets go line of sight . or will they be spread all out where the healer has to run to them.. as many raids as i have been in.. people are rarely where you would think they would be.. have to factor in too.. are your targets range dps or mele.. i cant say totally what it would be because each run./boss fight varies. to make it even simpler for you.. all things equal in a 16 man.. who do you think will end up healing the most..on a parser... even if their single target healing is not the highest. im not worried about what damage the people are getting.. altho i do believe the parser doesnot count over heals? not sure on that. im talking about the end results after its all added up on the parser... maybe this will help. 1. who heals most single but cant aoe heal as much. (high single heal but it wont show up on parser as a high healer because aoe heal trumps it.) 2. who heals most aoe or grouped (huge heals on aoe because everyone hit adds up. but cant heal single as well as another class) 3. who would heal the most in general.. a jack of all trades so to speak. can aoe or single target heal makes a good tank heal maybe?

ok just for kicks and giggles.. on healers.. you have a bounty hunter healer.. a sith sorc.. and a operative healer.. they are all geared the same stat wise.(meaning b. has aim. s. has willpower.. o. has his cunning..etc.) all 69-72 gear respectively . same amount of leveled gear.. . 4 set bonus as well and they all know their job and rotation... if you have them all in a raid..using a parser to see the heals..etc. and a big fight is going on.. people moving all over the place.. will they all heal the same amount.. or will one have higher heals due to the type of heal they can do..aoe heal vs solo heal vs hybrid healing.... on the fly..etc.. will one have lower heals because they don't aoe heal like a sorc.. but their one on one heals are larger?

there is a reason people are staying with their realms.. be it dead or not.. I enjoy a slow time realm.. where i don't have to fight kill stealers.. or see a constant barrage of pure stupidity on the chat.. constant cussing and innuendos. I play this game just to have fun.. i did the 5 day a week raiding on world of warcraft. i was a high end raider.. and i got tired of it im slowing down.. .. i enjoy just puttering around.. its nice when the area is not so over crowded that i can't finish my quests in good time.. but not so dead that there is not at least 10 people on i can call on for help.. or they can call on me.i enjoy being able to get on the game as soon as i log in.. not having to wait 10-30 during peak times.. and yes it has happened. if i have to fight to do my quests..(with other my faction players) or wait forever to log on.be baraged by pure stupidity. im not going to be enjoying the game.. and if i don't enjoy the game.. then why bother even playing? i don't want to lose my legacy name.. it was a name i thought long and hard on.. i don't want to lose my character names.. they are very important to ""MY"" story.... here is an idea.. really simple.. and i think you should do it.. give everyone free transfers one a month per character.. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE WHERE THEY WANT TO GO IF THEY WANT MORE PEOPLE THEN LET THEM TRANSFER.. IF THEY DON'T WANT MORE PEOPLE IF THEY ARE FINE WHERE THEY ARE AT AND HAPPY BY ALL GODS.. LET THEM STAY! people who want a overpopulated area and want to do randoms.... let them move on their own. don't punish the people who are happy where they are at or get someone who can program.. and have them fix it so you can inter-world randoms. since its all done instances anyways.. i and many others in the same boat as me are paying customers and good business sense states that customers are always right... or you lose those customers..... i have several friends who plan on letting their subscriptions expire.. ill most likely be one of them unless something changes and fast...if you have to move us.. then please allow the holdouts to move on their own to a low populated server.. not just one single over populated world.. im starting to feel like a sardine.

ok did some digging.. and i myself will be calling these people directly.. call them. let them know personally that you don't want to be moved off your server.. were the customers. customers are always supposed to be right.. or they lose customers.. aparently they don't give a rats *** to what anyone says in in forums.. so best way to make sure they hear you.. call them.. you might have to be put on hold.. but hell.. its better to know for sure what is going to happen then to wait Contact Us By Phone For help with account issues, technical support, or if you require further assistance with Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, you can contact us via the following toll-free phone numbers: USA, Canada: 1-855-GO-SWTOR (1-855-467-9867) UK, Germany, France: 00800 0246 9273 (008000 BIOWARE) Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore: +800 0246 9273 (+8000 BIOWARE) For calls originating from countries not listed above, please call the following number: +442035642555 * using a landline or mobile phone, or 1-855-GO-SWTOR (1-855-467-9867) using your VoIP service (such as Skype, Viber, Google Voice etc.).

ditto what he said!! if i dont enjoy the game anymore.. no reason for me to stay here. ill just go back to world of warcraft and my 9 level 85 all raid geared....

i agree. i dont want a full server. i terribly enjoy playing on a low server.. sometimes i might be only one on the world.. i love it.. i have a group of friends.. holdouts like me.. that if we need to do something we get together.. here is an idea.. if you want people to move to other servers fine.. give them points/bonuses for it..etc.. but leave the other servers open for the ones that dont want to move dont punish them because they enjoy thier names etc.. .. leave it also so new people can make characters on it. i was so heavy into raiding on that other game.. 5 days a week.. that i enjoy just sitting back.. soloing most of my quests.. grouping with my personal friends for the others. i dont want to go to a place that is so full of people that to get things to kill.. or such .. its a fight.. or takes forever.. i have rl friends that want to start playing.. several actually and they want to play on my realm.. but they cant.. why? because the realms are locked down.. stupid stupid move on biowares part and yes.. i did move a low character on to the other realm.. i had to change my name and my legacy name! pissed me off to no end.. to me.. it didnt feel special anymore.. it was a name i picked that i thought long about.. and the morons/bioware who think everyone should be crammed sardine style into one world.. ruined it..

problem with that.. they locked the realms so new blood cannot come in but what was already here..also.. what the status says and what is actually happening on the full realm are 2 different things.. amazing how for the longest time that realm had a light status even tho it was full up...beginner area over 150 people.. bit crowded i would say.. also.. i like my guild.. i like my legacy name. i do not want to change it.. nor will i change my character names... i named my characters for a reason.. yes its just a game.. but each name means something to me.

unfortunately the server they want us to go to is so over populated.. it shows up as full/high amount of people. and i moved a low level there to check it out.. i don't like it.. a lot of people are rude.. the comments i saw.. .. ugh. i rather the people that run this game start thinking about the players that like to go slow. and on light servers. i was a major raider when i played on wow. and doing 5 days a week raiding.. im slowing down. got too many things to do in rl.. so when i get on.. i want to log on fast.. and enjoy myself. not have to wait 10-30 min to log on during peak hours.. which is usually when i can get on.

not sure where to put this.. but i and a few of my friends are verry pissed off. i don't mind that you all decide to do this server transfer bull.. but.. were not transferring..and we have a problem.. my best friend wants to play.. as does my mother.. .. but both want to play on my realm so we can all play together.. unfortunately you have my realm locked! what the hell! do you guys want new players to play or what? they refuse to even make a test character unless they can play on my realm zalabar. the destination realms you guys have are so over populated its not even funny. and im getting PISSED OFF at all the transfer your character messages that pop up.. i want my mother (58) and good friend to play on the realm i have my characters on that we have a good guild on as well.. i like that its slower. at least i dont see crude comments in general chat... we have good frineds here. and if people are wondering why the servers are empty its because of you all locking the servers so new people cant join.. I DO NOT WANT TO JOIN A REALM THAT IS SO OVER POPULATED THAT I HAVE TO WAIT IN A QUE JUST TO PLAY!!!! i dont want to have to fight just to get things to kill....truthfully if my realm dissapears so will i.. and most of the people in my guild..
