Fine words. Thank you for saying things that I could not find the words to say. I am one of those utterly displeased players that have stopped my subscription and my son's subscription. That's right, I was paying for 2 subs. But not anymore. This CXP grind takes so much time that I'm just not going to waste my time playing. I love playing for rewards, NOT random worthless loot that I can disintegrate for more CXP. Since the live stream you guys have confirmed our opinions on CXP grind and random boxes don't matter to you. Otherwise you would clearly do something to ease the problems. The 4.0 rewards/currency system was a simple fantastic design. I was truly impressed and loved playing and was excited how you would improve with 5.0. By removing the earned crystal system you have also removed a main reason players grind for those rewards that system provided. I can't say it enough, random rewards in any game are NOT worth wasting time or wasting a subscription to play. Good luck figuring it out. If you get rid of the random gear, fix this CXP crapfest, and get back to a decent rewards system where I can choose my rewards for time invested, then most likely I and many others will return.

To Ben and Whomever it May Concern, You're a damn fool if you think RNG is exciting in a game. So glad I quit my subscription. If you continue with this crap fest "play as we intend you to play" attitude, you won't have to worry about server mergers as no one will be playing... not even the Chinese credit farmers, since no one will be playing. Whomever thought up this is one dumb gamer... or maybe that's the problem, they aren't a gamer, but a numbskull accountant that thinks they can fool players into playing a game that stinks. Good Luck Fools... Thanks for the live stream today. You've given me good reason to not waste time with your game OR give you money anymore.

Captain Obvious told me quitting a game is the simplest method of telling the developers "I do not approve of the design of your game." IMMEDIATE action is required, PLEASE listen to your playerbase. I have loved this game since before I even started playing by investing in SWTOR with pre-ordering a Collectors Edition. I don't play the lottery in life, and I won't play the gear rewards lottery in a game, EVEN if I love that game. Look at the facts: (1) Each cycle of game version has it's good and bad points. (2) If good rewards outweighs the bad rewards, then investing time playing a game can be more fun than not playing. (2) People usually live their lives with purpose. Players usually play games with purpose. (3) I don't want random rewards in life. I don't want random rewards in a game I play. It's just this simple. Players want to be able to control the rewards they have earned with specificity, NOT randomness. Eric, sir.... if you and your fellow developers haven't learned this simple truth after all these years, then perhaps your brain isn't working as intended. Please learn to analyze facts. As a nitpick, I want to control my character to play, not a vehicle, as in chapter 2. I also dislike the scanner in chapter 3. I was so disgusted with the use of the scanner that I quit playing mid-chapter. I might finish the new storyline, but then again I might not. Since the 5.0 CXP is now "live", I know more about the CXP system, and I'm not wasting my time participating in this system. My sub has been canceled until I can control the rewards of my time invested playing my chosen main character. Bring back the currency system of 4.0 for vendor rewards, the "shell" drop system and weekly priority drop system from Operations bosses, afterwards I'm sure you will watch most of these critical posts about your new system go away just as quickly as they appeared. You can still use the CXP for something, but in it's current state of attaching it to random gear rewards is NOT a good thing. Perhaps if you made CXP legacy across all characters that could appease players somewhat. But CXP for individual characters just begs of super grind, and I am not investing my valuable time with your current CXP gearing grind.

I got a wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bearded dragon and work 45-50 hours a week... The only fun I allow myself to have is playing SWTOR when those kids and wife go to bed at 930. I don't rant or complain as a general rule, but today I must make an exception. So today I finally get to play the expansion!!! and I'm very excited!!! Until I get to the chapter with the vehicle I have to use, no choice, I have to use it... ok no problem, I will push through it. Then I get to the next chapter using some dang scanner that I have to use... which I thoroughly despise... and after 15 minutes of using that scanner I've had enough. I'm just not doing it. so goodbye, I've enjoyed this game a LOT, thanks for the fun, but the fun is over when you put in vehicles and scanners that I despise. I'm sure I'm not the only one either. I've been a loyal subscriber for a long time, I even pre-ordered the collectors edition. Thanks for trying BW, but I'm very unhappy about the vehicles and scanner.. shame on you BW for messing up a good game with vehicles and scanner crap. 1 hate, 5 no good or bad feelings, 10 love. my rating: 1 for vehicles 1 for scanner

Checked mail, no email concerning cartel coins. Thank you for checking.

Thanks to the team for continuing the bug troubleshooting... hopefully they find the problem soon. I'm sure it's not that easy finding those bugs in a 4 gig patch. Continued good luck!!!

Sorry to hear about the troubles, but there is an easy solution to the problem. Just do a server rollback and start the game for the ones that are impatient. I don't see a problem with it, we've waited this long, a couple more days won't matter. Progress server events up a few days or until the bugs are addressed and solved correctly instead of in pushing a solution that might cause other problems to be fixed on another potentially unscheduled maintenance cycle. Most of us are adults here and would rather see a bug free running game than a bug laden game, especially in the new story line. Thanks and Good Luck on the problems. and oh yea... if you need a referral... http://www.swtor.com/r/XtJJbD

You are absolutely correct. In my haste to complain, I noted the incorrect Heroic 2. It was Viper's Nest. Thanks for helping clarify the error. I'm also correcting the initial post information. Go test it out for yourself. It is still very difficult, not impossible, just too difficult with a level 10 influence companion.

Update: I was using Treek every time set to healing at level 10 and finally able to finish this heroic after the 4th try. As the mobs spawned I had to hide behind the crate of weapons to force them to gather up close. Treek and I almost died on the first wave. I then had to use Unity and Heroic Moment as well to survive. This downleveling wouldn't bother me so much if it was optional. But the mere fact that as a level 65 I don't have the option is insufferable. I've been playing for 4 years now, and this is really causing me to not have fun. Happiness is the reason for doing things or not doing things in life: playing games, being with friends, working, going to school, getting married, having kids, and everything else you do in life. Doing something that is more hassle than fun ruins that fun. Please make this downleveling optional for level 65 players doing solo content. It's just not worth the hassle, and takes away from the fun.

So I'm trying to do Heroic 2+ Viper's Nest on Makeb... sounds easy and fun enough for a level 65 with operation gear at 216 level and weapons and relics of 220 level. But this downleveling hurts my health and hurts my damage so much I can't even so this heroic 2. Please look into the difficulty of this heroic 2. It would be much easier AND FUN though to just GIVE ME THE FREAKING OPTION INSTEAD OF FORCING DOWNLEVELING UPON ME AND EVERY OTHER PLAYER THAT HATES IT. LEVEL SYNC SUCKS!!!!!! DOWNLEVELING SUCKS!!!!!!!!

I agree with all of your suggestions. On the Level Sync, I more than agree. I hate this Level Sync. I love this game and will continue to provide a monthly subscription for a long time, until such time that I don't like the game at least 50% of the time. This Level Sync makes me dislike the game about 20% of the time. And here's why... This level sync (hereafter called it's true name of DOWN-LEVELING, calling it Level Sync is a deceitful way to make it sound like a good idea) is just another way to create a time sink for the players. I use characters appropriate for planets when I assist other players with quests or heroics. Also, I do not plan on doing the Starforges or plan on expanding my base with the time sync quests of planetary heroic 2+. Because of this, where can I sign a waiver to remove the down-leveling punishment. I didn't level up to 65 to be punished on lower level planets with huge aggro radius and attract mobs while doing planetary achievements. An option to remove the level sync, should be available to those that don't want to participate in the DOWN-LEVELING punishment. As a subscriber, I want options to play how I want to play. I don't want to be punished with being forced to play at a level lower than the one I have earned. Please allow the option of removing the Level Sync punishment. thank you

Simple as that.... PLEASE bring back the Rakghoul and Gree events more often. Bounty week is fun, but not when players want other events too. I post this today, because yet again, no event this week. I'm sure bounty week is again soon though .... Someone sure makes sure of that event. What's the problem? Someone do something about it. Whomever is the event scheduler needs to activate the Rakghoul and Gree events at least ONCE a month.. If I need to beg I will.... *begs on hands and knees*... please just do it. Or perhaps a little Jedi mind trick... **these are the events you are looking for** Thank you.

I for one am sick and ______ tired of the bounty week recurring so often. I understand many enjoy the bounty event, and I have no problem whatsoever with bounty week, other than it comes too often. WHAT IS WRONG WITH DOING THE OTHER EVENTS. I was on vacation for 4 days the last time the Rakghoul event occured so I was only able to participate for 3 days. THAT is my problem in a nutshell. If the events do not occur more often, then the players CAN'T enjoy them. PLEASE bring back the Gree and Rakghoul events more often.
