They're usually more interested if someone is selling credits than buying them.

There is no harm in waiting to open crates until the new patch hits. Personally, I think all crates opened will have the new patch drop rates and contents, since it would be more trouble/complicated to distinguish and retain old drop rates for crates already in inventory/cargo.

It quite possible Bioware has agreed to long term payment commitments on these servers, so they really have no incentive to do anything since they have to pay for them anyway. And until someone can come up with a solution to guild assets, legacy bank assets/merges, naming conflicts, they will continue to stand pat.

You're comparing fleet populations of East Coast servers at a time when people start going to bed against prime time West Coast 9pm server time. A more accurate comparison would be 9pm EST East Coast server time vs 9pm PST West Coast server time.

If the gtn is important to you, then you must pick JC. Serious gtn buyers have toons on every server, but for everyone else that doesn't have millions on every server, you should have JC and Harbinger gtns to shop from. These two servers have the most cartel pack buyers/openers resulting in more cartel items sold on the gtn.

Take a look and see which server has higher conquest totals. Conquest totals will tell you how much content in both PVE and PVP is being run by guilds. The higher the totals, the more activity. My guess would be JC since JC has two out of the top three conquest guilds across all servers. But I haven't been very active to see, so your best bet would be to take a look for yourself.

Darth Marr. Some of my characters will never continue Kotfe just to keep Marr. Next would be Hk-55 and Senya. Pre 4.0, Treek was the most useful and Hk-51 the most fun.

I would expect to see a sale on Collections unlocks and server slots since it's been a long time since these have been discounted.

They should implement a rule where loot rules cannot be changed without a majority vote of the group. This way, the ops leader cannot suddenly change loot rules to Master loot and then disappear.

Good idea. Even better if this can count for conquest points.

Yep, these new changes to the hypercrates make them no fun opening them at all. With the old crates, even if you didn't get what you wanted, you had some fun opening them.

Ran some heroics on my lvl 65 with full datacron, class, and presence buffs. Not too bad, health got down to 70%, but went ok. Got on another server where I only have two class buffs, few datacrons, and few presence buffs on a lvl 60. It was a different story. Where I previously would faceroll through the mobs, I died multiple times. It actually seemed harder than with pre 4.0 companions. Is it possible this nerf made our companions weaker than before the expansion?

Voss Star Fortress is the hardest one to solo/complete. You need to interrupt his self heal, with two of you, that should be no problem. It's also easier if one of you can taunt the boss to keep him from killing your companions.

They are testing whether cartel armor for cc actually sells. So many people have asked for a direct purchase cc for cartel armor that they are trying it out. If this set doesn't sell well, you won't see many more.

Buy ops/warzone passes and credit escrows now while you can. These can sometimes go for more than 350k, and it's bad to need them when you're not able to buy them.
