Uh, you are so wrong - read this instead : https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PanderingToTheBase Quoted from there :

This is called "herd intellgence" : One comes up with a fantasy price - and everyone follows that - or tries to top it - blindly - like a blind herd of followers always doing what the first one did - and then re-doing what everyone else does. There's a saying : "Millions of flies cannot lie."

I never understood why Bioware put that into Legacy. It would be at lease *some* kind of achievement when one feels worse than a bug as a player ... I agree to that. The quicker the pain is over, the better.

It's mostly beginners who are "suiciding". So, if you are against that, you actually mean that you don't want any beginners in GSF -> prefer rather a closed circle of aces.

Which made me play another MMORPG besides SWTOR - one that forces me to actually think about mechanics ! And with "mechanics" I actually mean "rules", like what kinds of dice thrown, for example ...

Hello, via a soon closing RPG News site (RPGWatch), I came across this article : "Why do modern MMOs feel so different than old ones ?" https://www.mmorpg.com/editorials/why-do-modern-mmos-feel-so-different-than-old-school-ones-2000124945 There are several points I agree with, and a lot I find fitting with SWTOR. My comments on several points within this article : - agreed - agreed - agreed - agreed - VERY MUCH AGREED - partially agreed This is to me like showing everything that happened with SWTOR in the past in a nutshell.

Hello, I often get remembered of Monty Python's "Not To Be Seen" when I play PvP or GSF (which is seldom enough). I mean - everyone who's seen it will agree, I assume. It's basically ... try to work for your own group mostly unseen. This applies almost only on objective PvP / GSF though. In Arenas, everyone knows where everyone else is - except for stealthers, of course. Alrik

There are people on either side loving it to destroy things for others : AFK ones Premades Premades might even consist of like-mindes people who love to hinder others from having fun - this exists in RL as well. It's like "look how he tries to get rid of us !" followed by a laugh. Some people find good feelings in destroying the fun of others, no matter which way they do it. Here, in these forums, the defenders of premades seem not to realize that, that there might be premade players among them who do so. And those accused of being AFK - well, they ruin as well, but in a different way. And being AFK in GSF means a different thing than for PvP - except Arena and Hypergate. So you'll have to be careful how you word it. In the end, PvP is often meant by the self-proclaimed "real" PvPers as a game "not for the sensitive ones", so to say, as for them - the self-called "real ones" it is only "all or nothing", and an expression of adrenaline. I can imagine young men - especially men - saying "but it was fun ruining their game !" followed by a group-collective laughter - but 20 years later tthe same ones who had so much fun in destroying the game of others might actually become angry because "one looney destroyed the game for my son" or "for my daughter". I tend to think that this is all a matter of perspective - and that some PvPers just don't want to get into the perspective of others. They simply wand adrenaline and want to feel great - even if this means by destroying the fun of weaker ones. This is in my opinion even a hedonistic or even a narcistic move : Make others feel bad so that the own self feels better. The problem is, that PvP has to live with that.

I was talking about Sir Terry Pratchett and his Discworld novels.

I'd also like to see how the new hair styles look like. I haven't seen any screenshot yet, either.

Translation : "I do not want any Newbies to join GSF."

In a few Fantasy settings, female Drwaves do have beards, too.

FULLY agreed upon ! I have HUGE perception problems with empty squares having borders like full ones have ! Plus, junk has almost the same colour as empty ones have ! And items not available for the own class, too.

Wikipedia calls this the "Matthew Effect".

I assume there must be more tornaments out there ?

I miss the Amplifiers. The crafting Amplifiers gave me something I could work with when doing crafting. All gone now. I don't like being pushed into the role of a mere fighting machine.

I'm jealous. I still get older gear.

Not that I know of. The classes are bound to each factios, still, and as an imperial character you just can't get a title like "Jedi", as far as I know.

I hate the new look of the inventory ... I wonder who had the idea of doing frames not only for item squares in the inventory, but also for empty squares ??? This is hugely irritating. Something in my mind is now unable to tell "full" squares from empty squares. Must be something with my perception, but it is hugely annoying anyway. Plus, that items not viable for the class, and junk items as well, are so dark that they have almost the same dark colour like black background of empty squares … And why, oh why did they decide to get rid of Amplifiers ? These provided each player with a bonus to crafting and to a variety of other things, too … Now they're gone, and I feel myself pushed into the role of a mere fighting machine again …

PLEASE translate that as soon as possible into French and German languages as well - so that people can plan the remaining time accordingly !

I will be downloading a LOT of new content. Or the day after that, if there are too many people doing that at the same time.

Stichwort "toxisches Verhalten".

I've rather seen rolling ("Rawhide !") as a way to move forward very fast, in both PvE and in PvP.

Tell me, why do people farm regs, then ? Considering that it is so much "non-competitive" ?

"Most". What did YOU actually say ? I do not understand you.
