A lot of games offer for example bonus content for pre-order or early access and if you dont buy the game in this time area you are locked from the content for ever. I dont see how this is different. Also lot of people wanted special sub rewards, better then some crystal, weapons or clothes and now when they give something really SPECIAL, others people dont like it. You cant satisfy everyone.

So by your logic. Exclusive companion is bad as reward, but exclusive gear or mount is good as reward? I prefer it much more this way, already have so many gear i dont know which i should use on my characters

Sorry, but i dont really see your logic, how ti can help you "Win" something. This is sub game with optional F2P model. If you stay sub you get all, if you dont stay sub you dont get all. Simple as that. And all rewards are only cosmetic or maybe a bit of more content. Nothing to give you advance toward "Wining" in any way

It was max 16 for preferred (22 for sub) before KoTFE and i expect preferred limit will be same now, while sub get 40.

Sry it was mis-spell i meant running. Not Ruining, but believe it is actually more accurate this way.

I was mainly talking about people here and other threads who claimed to be ruining HM ops with 208 PvP gear, i know SM ops can be done with 190+ or even less. But i still feel it is 100% valid argument. If you want to run PvE, run in PvE gear if you want to run PvP, run in PvP gear. If you want to mix it, than mix it both sides, no matter that one of them have advance over another. If you like to run SM/HM ops then getting 216 ops gear should not be problem for you. Same as you would tell me to get PvP gear if i like to run PvP. I still dont see why one of the sides should be treated differently then the other. And btw dont you get expertise in bolster too?

They are character bound as almost all items you get. But if they are cartel market items, you can unlock them via collections and then claim them on another characters. (collection is default ctrl+c or button in invetory)

Ok tell me then why negative reactions when you PvP in PvE gear. It is 100% same situation. I know i there si difference with PvP and PvE stats in gear. But if PvP players wants to run SM and HM ops in PvP gear, then they should not make negative comments on people who are playing Warzones in PvE gear

Than it looks like well known problem with some email providers and one time confirmations email. I would suggest to use different address or you might have problem with logging into game later. From my experience, gmail works always, while many of my country email providers have problems.

Once again US only pack

Yes but where the selling credits come from? From people who farm them with purpose of selling them. So they add them into economy. If there was not demand for credits form credit sellers. People who farm them for sell would not exist = less credits in economy. Or you mean it is all from stolen credit cards and CC market items and so, as a lot of posts around suggest?

Well since you are synced, you cant agro several groups of elites and kill them together cause you will die. So you cant farm as fast as in 60lvl Btw really dont understand how this have anything in common with level sync: (Resistance, endurance, mastery, power, class buff usefulness, stim/medpack usefulness, also completely broke the Revan fight in SoR.) I gain fun with playing content i forgot even exist. I gain chance to play with friends who are completely different level and still advance together. I gain feeling of accomplishment when killing The Nightmare Pilgrim and Dreadtooth once more. Now tell me what you gain if level sync would be turned down? (btw going to sleep now ) I am implying that before players 15-55 could not ever attack any opposite faction base, cause they would do NO DMG to 60 lvl guards. And you think it was better when one high lvl player will massacre newbies? I think it is much more fair now, if he want to gank them, he have to be careful and not just slice thought them with ease.

1. How can killing be irrelevant when i was talking about stealing kills and if it is the same as you keep repeating that my question stands. What is difference between synced and not 2. What level sync really took away from you? Except solo killing world bosses = stealing kills and maybe not agroing mobs around you. Kindly re-read my post. I said group of players. And i as i said before, it might helps PvP servers too, cause now if one 65 lvl attacks 2 players they can at least defend them-selfs with some chance to fight back or run.

Found another + for level sync. Now group of leveling people can actually attack opponent faction base and win, before they would be one shotted by 60 lvl mobs

Except it depend on TFP some are easy and smooth, some are hard as hell with 4 dps.

So if you suggest that you can still kill mobs as fast as before level sync? Why it bothers you that you are synced down?

Or have 2 set of gears Also if you switch between heal and dps, keep acuracy in clothes/armor not in ear/implant/MH/OH it can help reduce required gear for changing

Field Respec in your Character Perks in Legacy Window. It is positioned on right bottom of the window. Cost 200k credits or some CC per character.

Available unlocks: Show Title, Show Legacy Title, Hide head, Unify colors Additional GTN slots Character slots (pref can have max 16 active chars if they have 22 unlocked slots) 3rd crew skill unlock Quickbar unlocks Consumable items: Buy several Warzone/Ops passes until you have money Buy maybe few escrow transfers until you have money That is all i can think of right now. You can also store your money into some mounts/armor/packs/decorations so when you go back you will slowly sell them and have access to your stored money in the process.

On the other hand with less money in the economy (gold sellers add a lot money into economy) i dont think they would cost much more, since credit might have higher value

Well making it optional will be almost like removing it. When higher level will be doing heroics as synced and some not synced will either one shot him or kill all mob objectives faster then he will kill one of them. What do you think will happen? I think level sync have several objectives and any of them will not work if you make it optional: Balance world PvP on PvP servers (but i know it is lost already) Balance doing heroics objectives for your alliance. Balance doing World Bosses. Dont steal kills from lowbies. And BTW what prevent you from doing this (the bold text) right now. I cant see how it was taken away from you? it is same as before: If he was harassed by 60lvl PvP pro geared guy, you would be either better and kill the guy or worse and die. But now if he attacks with you in group he will not kill both of you, since low level player can attack him also and contribute into fight and 2 players with 2 comps should kill him even when he is better then each of you. So new system actually helps in this case.

Sure SM Ops are difficult, but in sense of mechanics (and after 4.0 some mechanics are a lot easier). Not in sense of gear. If you know what to do and how to play your class, you are OK in lover gear. if you dont, then better gear will not help you and you die on some mechanics. In sense of gear with bolster aprox 190 lvl gear without augments and bad relics is enough I remember times, when i was a lot of afraid of OPs and didnt wanted to run them with pugs, cause i didnt know what to do. But once i joined good guild, they helped me in few starting runs, explained mechanics and now i progress HM/NiM with them and have no problem ruining with PUGs and explaining fight to newbies.

For PvE gear i would skip FPs and start doing SM Ops with your guild or with GF pugs if you know tactics. With bolster you need almost no gear for it (saw people running naked with just weapon + offhand , but i would suggest going with 190+ which you get easily) and you get 216 gear from it. If you run often and have luck you can equip one char with full 216 set bonus in two or three weeks.

Then your group was supporting you, because some HM ops sure cant be done if whole group would go in 208 PvP gear, you will lack dps and health for tanks. But to answer OP question. 216 SM ops gear are much better then 220 coms gear. Only tanks should mix it a bit. Also SM ops can be run in almost no gear at all and it is good to start on SM to learn basic mechanics before jump in to HM.

Exactly this and you still get the crates/mats, you gave to her/him, back into your inventory. so you dont loose anything only a bit of time.
