I actually prefer the prequels, I enjoyed the story more.

People still use Vent? TS3 ftw.

My idea is that subscribers will be able to initiate trade with a F2P player, not the other way around.

Care to explain why you don't think it's a good idea? Only subscribers would be allowed to initiate trade and if they want to restrict what can and cannot be traded, I see no reason why it can't be implemented.

Completely possible, I've done it many times, you just can't trade with Preferred or Free-to-play players.

Well maybe just allow them to trade the items from Flashpoints, or just restrict what they can trade and/or how much they can trade.

There'll no doubt be another event before the year is out.

Hear me out. Have you ever played in a Flashpoint with a Free-To-Play player, who is probably new to the game, and they press Need accidentally on an item for your class. They're apologetic but cannot trade the item to you because they're Free-to-Play. Subscribers should be allowed to initiate trade to a Free-to-Play player. I know this belongs in suggestions, but lets face it, that forum rarely gets a developer response and I would like to see one here.

I would actually love this, I hate playing my guardian now and I actually made a Sentinel and I love it. I would love to turn my Guardian into a Sentinel and possibly my Shadow into a Sage.

After working within a QA environment for an MMORPG, I can assure you, what happens within a closed testing environment DOES NOT happen on a live server. Many things can go wrong when a patch hits live, things that worked perfectly fine on the test server and maybe even the PTS. It's just one of those unavoidable things.

Can't you consider them to be replicas? Anyone can mass-produce a replica of an item, also,

2.4 (October/November?) is a PvP update, which I'm looking forward to a lot.

I fixed my stuck at loading screen error by deleting the "retailclient_swtor.version" file and the "swtor" folder (Note: NOT the entire client, just the folder that contains the executables). However, I'm now stuck on server select...

Living in hope here...

I just prefer to use my card directly, Paypal is usually the issue in these cases :S Just to clarify, I bought some CC earlier today and got them instantly...

I think it looks fabulous, darling.

Who's to say they hadn't planned for Free-To-Play before the first model or texture had even been made? I know this sounds all tin-foil hat, but I think their marketing team is genius. They've had the best of both worlds, you see. They released the game as Pay-To-Play, made you purchase the game (and/or digital deluxe/collector's edition) and then made you pay a subscription fee on top of that. Then, a year later, they convert the game to Free-To-Play and reap the benefits of a microtransaction system AND a subscription model, all whilst charging for expansions. As much as we all hate the guy, Jeff Hickman is a marketing genius and I would hire him if I wanted to make a quick buck, he's achieved the goals set by EA: To make SW:TOR profitable again.

There are those who have quit the game, but still have subscription time left. Also those who are quitting soon and still have subscription time left. By the looks of the forums, there's quite a few.

My top reason for playing SWTOR are: 1. The fully voiced cutscenes. I love how I can listen and not just "Click NPC, Click Accept, Rinse and Repeat". There's a feeling of an actual living story and each time you create a character, you can change it up by choosing the other light or dark option(s). 2. It's Star Wars. Now, I've never been a huge superfan of Star Wars. I enjoyed the movies a lot and I occasionally watched Clones Wars when my brother put it on TV, but TOR has given me a glance into how deep the story behind Star Wars goes, and it's enjoyable to see how much there is to come, both in-game and via other media. 3. It's the first MMO I've ever hit the level cap on. It may not seem like it's a big deal for most people, but I've played almost every MMORPG out there, save for a few and I have never hit the cap in a live game before, so this was a big achievement for me. 4. The Cartel Market. It's like Marmite, you love it or you hate it. Whilst I don't agree with some of the restrictions for Free-To-Play players (such as the Guild Bank access?) and also some of the charges and/or upcoming charges for subscribers ("Barber-shop"?), it has given me the ability to really customise my characters to how I want them to look, and I thank the developers for that. 5. I have fun! The most important aspect of any game is that it is enjoyable. I see no reason in playing a game if you're not having fun, regardless of the investment you've made in both time and money. "Fun" is subjective, not objective, so whilst TOR is fun for me, it may not be for others (who have wholeheartedly shown their disapproval) but as I said, subjective. So yeah, these are my five main reasons for playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. I'm also really looking forward to Makeb and Rise of the Hutt Cartel, I pre-ordered it the day it was announced. Also hoping Togruta are released pretty soon after the Cathar (Togruta are my all-time favourite species :3)

This, and, I would like to actually TRY the Gree event?

People really don't get it... consider this "rep" as a reward system, a reward system for the people who are ACTUALLY keeping the game afloat, the players that purchase from the Cartel Market. If this wasn't added as a reputation, would you still be outraged? I don't think so. EricMusco has already stated this is a reward system, not actually a reputation and in a future patch, the difference will become visual within the reputation panel. I'm a paying subscriber, have been since Feb 2012, this doesn't bother me in the slightest. As long as people are buying packs, you get to play SW:TOR.

Still waiting to make my Togruta Sage :3

This, 10000x.

I plan on getting my Shadow to 50 this weekend, my Scoundrel to 50 next 2x weekend and then my Commando to 50 the time after.
