On a positive note, I would like to thank the development team for actually fixing the pets. That needed to be done for a LONG time. No I'm not saying that this fixes all the stuff wrong right now but it was an extremely pleasant surprise.

@JackieKo This would help us look our best for our date nights. It seems the cartel market will remain the main source of income so why not add? Especially if people wanna spend their money on it.

I would also love odessen simply because it is our base of operations and for some reason we cannot customize it. It would be really cool if we actually could customize our ships like Bioware teased years ago and then just never did anything with it. So that was pretty annoying. I also am down for the idea that someone had about taking over the zakuul estate from Vaylun.

@JackieKo Do you all have any plans to make the new stronghold available for guild stronghold purchase?

I would also love more larger strongholds since mek sha is so small there was no space for a combat dummy or more pvp duel areas. Both of which were huge successes in the rishi and the alderaan strongholds.

My point was that there were posts around the time of release to the point guide makers and streamers all even thought it was going to be either oricon or zakuul since those were the two most common requests. Obviously there are people that asked, there are people that ask for everything in the game. My point is why would you not use one of the two most requested strongholds. It has nothing to do with what I want specifically. When you have the majority of the community asking you for something, you don't do what a few people asked for. Why would you take the side of a few vs the mass if you are trying to appease the community in order to grow the number of subscribers? That's the question I would love the answer for. I am all for inclusiveness. I'm not even saying we didn't need the mek sha. I personally hate the mek sha stronghold as it makes no sense for the position of your character in the story to have a base on some tiny lil underworld asteroid. I still appreciated that they did it for those that would prefer that since everyone has different wants and desires. Still makes no sense to do what few would like vs the mass first. Especially with no plan for the larger ones such as those two in sight.

So about the new metallic dye. Why was the decision made to release a gold and purple dye that makes your character look like a piece of candy instead of one of the most commonly used dyes in the game a black and purple? I get trying new things. I noticed since broadsword took over the RPers have been getting a lot of love like the actual disciplinary action for messing with them. So since we know it's a big part of the game and half of this game, at this point, is making your character look amazing. Why do the developers continue to make decisions like this? Is there anyway for them to track what works and what does not? If not can they start logging in and checking the GTN or even putting out community votes? If you look at the GTN you would have noticed that the gold and white was almost a complete flop and there were so many cause they were not selling as much as the black and black and the red and black as well as their opposites. Not trying to complain, I'm genuinely not. I just don't understand why there are decisions being made that could have very easily been made differently that would affect the game on a much more positive note. I run multiple guilds with at least over 200 people in each and over 900 in the main. I'd say about 80% of them are in the discord. We have all been excited about it being a black and purple cause we thought there was no way you wouldn't be doing this since it was probably the 4th or 5th most popular dye. We all saw the notes for this and there wasn't a single person that thought it looked good except one of our pvpers in our guild that likes to make outfits that legit look like candy. Please please please start playing the game and reaching out to the community. It's decisions like this that consistently cause members to quit. I have played with some of the best people from my server. I have watched them leave and all of them were talking about how the devs simply just don't care. Personally I believe that if this mentality was changed it would bring back so many players it would be unreal. For example, when the mek-sha stronghold was to be released the two most requested strongholds were the dread palace on oricon and a zakuul estate like Vaylun's. Yet they went ahead and released Mek-Sha... that no one asked for, It's incredibly infuriating. I am not blaming anyone in particular I just thought you should know how all of the community I have met and played with feels right now. I hope this kind of stuff helps you out a little.

@JackieKo can the community please get an update on this?

I agree so I am hoping someone from the dev team hears this.

I mean in all honesty there should be absolutely no reason why a guild leader shouldn't be able to use their own bank. Are we worried that people are gonna be TRANSFERRING GUILDS to avoid tax I mean come on.

I could not agree more on this.

I can craft you one if you are on star forge

Thank you!

Could not agree more.
