I come here looking for aid and you people proceed to mock and ridicule me? Great. I honestly thought I could come here and we could discuss this like adults. I guess I was wrong.

Good morning. Let me start out by saying that I'm not here to cause a fight. I'm here as a concerned player who may need to take a step back from this hobby. But first, for those of you who don't know who I am, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sir Marty the Magnificent and I've been professionally gaming since 1996. Since I began gaming 2 decades ago I created a gaming resume that displays my extensive and unrivaled experience, particularly within this great game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Let's take a look, shall we... 2011-2016--Star Wars: The Old Republic: I was the first to achieve levels 50, 55, 60, and 65, the first to reach Valor 100 as well as the first to obtain the Legacy Lv. 50. I have the most achievements in the history of SWTOR with well over 50,000. I am the game's richest player with an estimated net worth of over 27 billion credits and was the world-first to complete every new Operation on its release date. And that was only a brief glimpse of what I've accomplished in the gaming universe. But now, onto why I'm here. I'm beginning to think I'm too good at gaming for, well, my own good. I still like gaming, but I've lost so much from my personal life because of it. My family disowned me when I got banned from all Ultima Online games, I dropped out of Harvard to focus on being a Gaming Legend full time, and my social life has always been social media to share with you all, my followers, my gaming achievements. The thing is, I've tried taking a step back. I've tried to become more of a casual gamer ever since I achieved success in gaming. I've tried to take things slow, but I just can't. It's all or nothing and part of me thinks it's time for nothing. I am looking for suggestions and feedback from some veteran gamers out there. Have you ever felt like just giving it all up and moving on? I look forward to a mature discusion.

Some of you people need to learn some respect. The journalist will actually be joining me tonight on The Harbinger. This attitude better not reflect the behavior I'll see tonight. If any of you sabotage my chances for this opportunity, you will be sorry.

Some of you people need to learn some respect. Do you realize who you are speaking to? That's right... a Gaming Legend. Now settle down before I get serious.

Good morning BioWare. It's very rare that I come to you for anything. However, as your most famous, well-liked and loyal subscriber, I need a favor. But before we get to my request/demand, please allow me to share with the community my gaming resume. Most of you already know who I am, but if not, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sir Marty the Magnificent and I've been professionally gaming since 1996. Now please take a look at my gaming resume... 1996-1999--Ultima Online: Stormed Lord British's castle with the fellowship led by Sir Copperfield the Honorable and killed the great King. This of course earned everyone a part of the fellowship a lifetime ban from all Ultima games, but it was worth it. 1998-2001--Everquest: I was both the second world-first to max level and to acquire a full set of the enchanted Legendary Armor, only behind Sir Copperfield himself. However, these achievements did not go unnoticed by the Gaming Legend, and I was knighted Sir Marty the Magnificent and became 2nd in command of his legendary PvP guild. 1999-2004--Asheron's Call: I was the first level 126 on the PvP server Darktide and on the PvE server Wintersebb, alongside Sir Copperfield. We were the most feared PvP'ers in all of Dereth. 2003-2003--Anarchy Online: Successfully sued Funcom for 5 million USD in damages for not reserving my name prior to release. 2004-2007--World of Warcraft: I was the first player to access the game and subsequently became the world-first to max rank as well as during the 2 expansions that followed. I also lead the highly feared and skilled PvP guild Gnomes of Warcraft on the Shattered Hand server. 2007-2013--Halo 3: I was the first to the global rank of 5 Star General as well as the first playlist rank of General in all matchmaking playlists. Due to these achievements Bungie gave me both the Recon armor and Bungie armor, with the latter making me the first and only non-employee to unlock Bungie armor within the history of the game. 2010-2016--Halo Reach: I was the first to the rank of Inheritor as well as the first to complete all of the achievements within the game. 2011-2016--Star Wars: The Old Republic: I was the first to achieve levels 50, 55, 60, and 65, the first to reach Valor 100 as well as the first to obtain the Legacy Lv. 50. I have the most achievements in the history of SWTOR with well over 50,000. I am the game's richest player with an estimated net worth of over 27 billion credits and was the world-first to complete every new Operation on its release date. Now that you've seen my credentials, let's get onto business. I've just been nominated by Game Informer magazine to receive their highest honor to gamers, the Global Gaming Ambassador, on the basis of being a professional gamer and Gaming Legend. I have spoken to the powers that be at Game Informer, and they require a letter of recommendation from any game developer currently associated with the nominees to win the nomination. My account information has my correct address, so please send the letter there. Afterwards I will forward the letter to the editor-in-chief. Just make sure it's on BioWare letterhead. Also, a journalist from the magazine will be joining me in game this evening on The Harbinger server, to inspect my character and see how much I influence the community and its day-to-day events. Since I command respect everywhere I go, I'm not worried about this at all. All I ask is that we please act in a mature fashion and respect the immersion of the Star Wars lore for me and my fellow roleplayers until I say otherwise. She may pop in at any time this evening. If anyone ruins this for me... Sir Marty the Magnificent

Good afternoon, Many of you already know who I am, but if not then please allow me to introduce myself. I am Sir Marty the Magnificent. I'm a professional gamer and Gaming Legend who's been competitively gaming since 1996. Now that the introductions are over let's get onto business. Ever since I can remember BioWare heavily promoted this game as being "story-driven", and if that is the case then why in the world can I not switch factions when I please? This completely ruins my immersion in a Star Wars game. For example, if I'm in Warzones on my Jedi Guardian, witnessing the deaths of my fellow friends and comrades, why can't I gain Dark side points? I want the option to be able to gain Dark side points and then eventually switch over to the Empire after these traumatic Warzones. Or what if I'm on my Juggernaut? I see Jedi healers using the Light side of the Force to keep their comrades alive, safe, and protected from the power of the Empire. I want my Juggernaut to gain more and more Light side points until he betrays the Empire and becomes a warrior for the Galactic Republic. It's inexcusable. Bioware please implement this mechanic because it would make for a more immerse feeling in this already fantastic Star Wars game.
