I returned to the game when KOTFE launched and SOR was made free for subscribers. I have to say I enjoy the vast majority of changes such as: 1. I am very happy the companion equipment is no longer an issue and that I can change their role. I can now play with whatever companion I want at any time, instead of whoever is geared the best that fits the role I need. Great move 2. Solos are great. Due to not playing at peak times I very rarely can find a group. Now I was able to play some of the original flashpoints I never got to for whatever reason, and the SOR flashpoints. Thank you very much for the ability to finally experience these parts of the game. 3. Appearance customizer is a really nice feature, my Sith or Jedi is not a pirate..... The level sync is a give and take, it is nice to be able to play with my wife's lower character and not completely destroy everything in one hit and still get some XP, however I can see the bad side of it as well. A toggle would give the best of both worlds. My two biggest complaints and questions are: 1. All of the previous planetary equipment is gone, some of which looked great. It seems a shame to remove all of these. Also I don't really have anything to spend my Common data crystals on. Is there anything other than mods to spend these on? 2. A lot of old quests are not disabled. While I have personally played them all at one point or another it seems such a huge shame that a lot of the companion equipment quests were completely turned off. It seems a waste to loose all of those already voiced quests, some of which I would like to do again on a new character just to see. All that would have to be done is change the reward to data crystal. Why completely disable the quests?

Question: What about a rage spec Wrath? The rage spec is much more concentrated on force powers. It would seem to me that at first glance a 1.1 with a Rage spec warrior vs a Assassin would be much more equal.

Does anyone happen to have any info on when SOR will be free for subs?

In addition to the previous points brought up; Kit Fist was a Shi-Cho master which is great for fighting groups (like droids) but not as good vs a single enemy. However Plo Koon is a Shine master, which would seve him better vs a single opponent. I love both of them but I'm gonna give this one to Plo Koon. However both are Jedi Master council members and superb warriors.

This is a question I have always wondered. In the Star Wars universe is there any actual instruction between a Sith Overseer / Lord and his Acolytes / Apprentice? Both in TOR and the Movie Timelines it seems the only training that takes place is the Lord throwing his apprentice into harder and harder situations and seeing if they survive. Does any actual instruction take place? For example we hear on and on about what Palpatine can teach Anakin but does he ever sit down and actually instruct him in anything? Did Sideous have a Force Lightning 101 class with Dooku? Does Vader actually teach Starkiller dueling methods? If I remember correctly there is an actual classroom in the Korriban academy somewhere in the back but you never actually see a Sith Lord teaching anyone in the universe other than putting them through hell. There are plenty of instances where Jedi Masters are shown teaching younglings and padawans but there has to be at least some instructional time for Sith right?

Please forgive my ignorance with this question. I came into swtor after Rise of the Hutt Cartel was free. So I am guessing by the pre-order bonuses that SOR is not free for subs. Does it eventually become free? or how does this work?

Forgive my ignorance but I have a question. I came in after ROTHC was free for Subscribers. So I take it by the traffic here that SOR is not automatically free for Subs? Does it eventually become free like Rothc?
