The video they released that first showed the new long female hairstyle leading up to 2.1 showed it clipping through the armor. I saw a lot of people in the forums taking this as an informal disclaimer from BW basically saying, "Okay, we're giving players the long hairstyles you've been asking for, but heads up, they are gonna have clipping issues" I have both the male and female long hairstyles each on consulars and haven't yet had any clipping issues, but I knew when I payed the CC there was a chance that I would.

No, they actually said they are and that the goal was 2.2 Link here for the Gold post: http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=6265831&postcount=206

In the latest email sent out there was a spot at the bottom stating that all Shipment 1 Cartel Packs and Hypercrates are due to be embargoed on the eleventh, meaning you won't be able to get them or the items they contain anymore except on the GTN until current supplies are gone. This includes Revan's armor. This could mean they are discontinuing the current version and plan to release a new one. We'll see what happens after the 11th of June.

I posted a pic of my dyed Conservator Armor earlier, but here is my new Cathar Jedi Sage, I named him Swiftpride. Not a big fan of the current hairstyle options for Cathar so he'll probably stay hooded but I included shots of him with and without a hood.

I haven't leveled my Cathar yet, but this is my level 45 Jedi Sage. The armor is the Classic Conservator set with Jedi Initiate's lower armor because I didn't like the Conservator pants. The dye is the Cartel Market Dark Blue and Brown. Kind of looks like a mash up of Qui Gon and Lord Elrond lol http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag36/nshotsman/KorlihnConserv_zps4634101a.jpg

This is not a bug, they are working as intended.

My point is that I don't understand why someone would want to pay real money for Cartel Coins to access credits you've already earned, when for $15 a month you can get unlimited access to the credits you earn, plus higher xp gain, unlimited access to flashpoints, a minimum of 500 Cartel Coins, etc. Sounds like a waste of money to me but to each their own I guess.

I would say yes only if it reset you to level 10, otherwise your getting new advanced class abilities without doing the work to earn them. But of course, if your going to reset to level 10, then you might as well re-roll a new character.

Have you logged in with each character that has bound collections items. I logged in with all of my alts and each time my collections tab updated accordingly

Did you claim it to your inventory, then right click it in your inventory to open it?

You do realize that the Escrow Transfer offered in the Cartel Market isn't a permanent unlock right? It's a one time transfer of a select amount of escrow funds. Once you spend those transferred funds you have to purchase another transfer to access additional escrow funds.

800 Cartel Coins

Correct existing style options will only cost the per slider amount to change

Every slider (Hairstyle, hair color, eye color, head, etc) will cost Cartel Coins to change. The hair colors and styles that were priced in the patch notes are referring to sets of customization option additions on those sliders. You will first have to pay Cartel Coins to unlock those options on your account. Then if you choose to make changes to an existing character using those unlocked options you will pay for those changes on a per slider basis through the Kiosk

Fully agree with you on that. But it is what it is. And we still haven't seen what the CC costs are for the account wide unlocks, so it may not even be that big of deal. It may be worth the cost for players to not have to mail things back and forth from toon to toon.
