Companion gather missions being weighted heavily towards gifts while materials are either low level or non-existent has been an issue since day one, the source of much head banging and forum postings. So far as I know no dev has ever commented on the issue ie:head in sand

Yes .. please ... make it go away Running down the staircase just to get rid of it is annoying, And as far as the no guild controls blah blah I could give a roasted rats arse, let us make that part of a "don't show this" toggle too

Better yet DON'T TOUCH IT IMO trying to fixor improve a "bug" we like can only lead to heartache

Sadly ... tragically ... this thread is 2 1/2 years old, hundreds of posts and .... ... nobody at BW has even noticed it

Given the deafening silence on the subject thus far I wouldn't give up anything important like sex, breathing or beer waiting for them to do something

Personally I'm hoping lots of people with too much money and time all line up to buy the extra slots with cc ... .... Why? you might ask? Cuz from the way they are grabbin for cash if this doesn't work I expect something along the lines of a "Gold Security LockBox" to start dropping from mobs ... one that will require a special "Gold LockBox Lockbreaker" from the CM for 100cc

Yeah, if they fixed that little loophole I think fewer people would be so down on f2p

Cynical answer: Yes but you will be able to pay CC to shorten it

However comma pause Is there going to be enough room in the legacy storage bank for it all? If the bank is going to be simply a cargo hold with max 5 80 slot tabs like a toon has then the function (IMHO) will be of limited usefulness to me given the amount of resources a full set of crafters needs to have on hand

This is pretty much where I stand, if I, the person behind the toons, earned it, what difference does it make which toon I am currently controlling? Make all BoP items BoL, *possibly* with a BoE behind it, like the mounts awarded at the casino if they REALLY feel the need for some restriction to prevent "earn it once use it everywhere"

I'm looking at you Force Leap/Force Charge

That shouldn't be too hard to implement. People should decide to become bountys not have them placed on them. Accepting "Bounty on My Head" status should be done at a planetary terminal, bounty status lasts XX hours of GAME TIME (24?), doing so locks out all travel options (except maybe quick travel) and ques, so the toon is restricted to the current planet for the duration. Likely a lockout of instances and a slowed logout function will be needed to prevent people from ducking out every time somone gets close. "Bounty on My Head" lists you on the terminal by name, planet, current on/offline status for hunters to scan. Hunters "Buy in" for a hunting license for that target, more hunters bigger payout. Escaping the hunters (ie bounty times out) gives the license fees to the hunted. Bonus idea: Successfully completing a bounty collection has a 5%(?) chance of invoking the anger of friends and family automatically placing the hunter on the active bounty list. Bonus idea#2: Chicken out option, bounty can "chicken out" by "buying out" the contract, which returns the license fee to the hunter plus the same amount and ending the hunt

I agree ... opt-IN *only* for such a feature. Ditto for not on fleet.

Sadly I don't think a chat post timer would work, they'd simpy open up a spare laptop and run a second (or third or ... ) bot <Broken Record ALERT> Gotta say what I've said before in these kind of posts, they need to charge a nominal fee ($5-7) to register an account so that an account ban for credit spamming costs something other than an hour to register another account and power level a toon to fleet, presuming they don't already have a hundred backups ready after x2XP week. If EA/BW is worried that an account registration fee will reduce the number of new f2p players trying out the game they can always use a "trial account" scheme that restricts un-registered accounts to starter planets, no real player spends enough time there to be bothered by credit spam anyways.

Sorry to sound like a broken record but .... IMHO all they need to do is start charging to register an account, $5 or so isn't enough to break anyones bank but would likely make getting repeatedly account banned for spam enough of a cost to eliminate or reduce it to a minor annoyance. Plus the $ would make it worth their while to ban the spammers in hopes they will re-register and pay more $. If they're worried about this reducing the number of new f2p people they could always re-invent the trial account setup and make it so you can play the starter planet without registering but need to register to leave starting planet. No real player spends more than an hour or so there anyways so eh if they do spam.

Lets not forget, not only randomly, but randomly re-ordered at every item edition

Agreed, more stuff is needed. However comma pause Lets go towards encouraging *NEW* stuff like new companion customizations as opposed another disappointing re-color fest.

If it doesn't "break" the game the schedule must be kept regardless, Slots were PROMISED on June 10th and by the gawds they WILL BE RELEASED on the 10th ... even if paid for perks are broken in the process.

Patch notes also say credits so is prolly as you say, blog error

Maybe because anything they say will be written in stone and pointed to as a "but you promised" when and if it doesn't actually make it due to some program conflict? I am not a game/dev cheerleader by any stretch but as a longtime gamer I wouldn't blame any dev for any game for keeping their yaps shut about details until its a rock solid sure thing, it *always* comes back to bite you in the hindquarters

Personally I expect it to be one big Cartel Market cash sinkhole.

They *want* you to have to go to fleet. Why? Dunno, but it seems that way, got to go to fleet to pick up the chapter end *reward* which is usually another pass to go back to where you just came from so it does look like its intentional

Edited so nitpicking won't detract from main subject

... where's my flagship? Every other Darth seems to have one, why am I chuggin about with the same ship I got when I was an aprrentice? <snip> My smuggler is limpin around in an old freighter with a turrent gun that don't work and can't be fixed cuz the hatch won't open ... and so on. C'mon, its time we had some starship upgrades (personal not Guild Flagships) for the toons that have saved the Galaxy/Republic/Empire from certain doom. There are plenty of mission ship maps that could be tweaked into L50/55 player ships without starting from the ground up and since none of these big arse ships land no new landing/liftoff art needs doing, just replace the ship in the hanger with a shuttle and off we go.

Exactly. Just like they can't block every "inappropriate" name due to tweaking no filter could do so either, and adding all the tweaked versions would in IMHO bring the system to its knees quickly.
