TLDR - Based on your feedback we are increasing loot drops, giving more mods and moddable gear, increasing tech fragments earned, and increasing the likelihood of side-grades and upgrades on drops.
The Quantity of Item Ratings / Tiers
We have seen concerns about the total number of item ratings that there are from the start of the expansion to best-in-slot. Although the quantity is high, that is not where the focus should ultimately lie. Our intention here is simple: you should be able to go from the start of level cap to max item rating fairly quickly. The goal is to make sure the speed of progression feels rapid and constant, regardless of the item ratings you need to go through to get there.
For now, we are not making any changes directly to the amount of item ratings, but we expect that due to the other changes we are making below you will find yourself progressing quicker than you did at the start of Phase 2.
Progression Through Item Ratings
Since the system now looks at your current item rating when determining loot drops, this is creating a friction point where you may be getting held back by one piece of gear. Ex: You are wearing full 270 except for one or two pieces which brings your avg iRating below that to 268. This situation will cause a lot of the gear that drops to be 270 instead of something higher, meaning a lot of drops aren’t actually upgrades.
We agree this can be a frustrating experience and so we are addressing this in two ways. We are adjusting the item ratings that can be dropped in some content so that you are more likely to get a side-grade or upgrade than you did previously. We also agree that you’re not getting enough loot to begin with, so we’re going to be increasing the number of drops you get from all content (so more chances for upgrades and more tech fragments).
...
Too Many Drops Not for Me!
In general we are seeing a lot of feedback that there is too much gear that is not dropping specifically for you. For example, you may feel like you’re seeing more tank drops than you would like to given that you are playing DPS. Or that the group drop at the end of your Flashpoint dropped for a Powertech and you were a group of four Sorcerers.
Some of this was intentional. In a system that can only look at exactly what you are playing we had concerns that it may really limit a players ability to gear for an alt. To alleviate that we set a % of all your personal loot drops that should not be tailored to your spec; while non-personal group drops don’t take the group composition into account at all. From your feedback, it sounds like we leaned too far in that direction…
Two changes for this PTS update. First, we have increased the % of personal items that are tailored to your character. You can still get items that are not for you as we do want some amount of items available for alts, but that % is quite a bit lower now. Second, the group loot drops will now look at your base class to determine what drops. This may mean you won’t get something for your currently assigned spec, but it will be relevant for someone in the group.
Kai Zykken Vendor
Some of the concerns we are seeing is that the Tech Fragment cost is too high, a desire to have expanded inventory to include left side gear and weapons, more items in general, or even a static inventory for purchase. Our intention is that Kai is meant exclusively as a supplementary system. If you feel like you need to look to Kai as a primary mechanism to get gear then we believe there are clear problems we need to work out in the rest of Spoils of War. That said, we are absolutely exploring a number of the great suggestions we have seen for Kai improvements.
I swear, it's like you guys have the only air between your ears and whatever the players say goes through one ear and out the other. There's absolutely no control for the player to choose what they want and how they want to gear.
Screw this RNG gearing system and screw the grind.

I'm a west coast player trying to join a guild that I can learn the game with. I'm still leveling my character, a level 40 marauder at the moment. I would like to get into some operations and end game content but lack game knowledge. I'm also subscribed, if that means anything, so I'm still gonna continue leveling to 70.

Hello everyone!
I’m Soul Sear, I’m an Imperial player looking for an active guild, with a decent number of people online at any given time. I have much to learn, but so far I’ve hit the ground running. I’ve had no problem jumping into flash points and keeping the team alive through the end. I’m hoping one of you wouldn’t mind having me as a part of your Guild so I can speed up the learning process and help you all out anyway I can! I’ve written market guides for other games I’ve played and become filthy rich by playing the market in them. I have just started amassing credits in SWTOR to try the same on the GTN. Message me if you’ve got a place for me in your guild! And thanks in advance!

Hi server denizens,
I am new to the game as of a few days back (I tried a free trial many years ago, but did not stay). I have subbed, and am already level 53. I am looking for a casual guild that actually talks on voice, does ops, and is friendly. I am not into RP, so if that is required in your guild, I would not be for you. I enjoy the social aspect of MMOs though, and generally having a good time/progressing at whatever rate.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Do you play impside or republic side?
What are you looking for in a guild? (:
If you play Pubside there is Hellbent, they run regular ops and do conquest and are active! If you are looking for Impside guild <Your Companîon> is recruiting!

I've got a question about guilds and faction focus. Is it more common for guilds to play both factions or just pick one faction? My current guild splits their time between factions and maybe just slightly favors Imperials a tiny bit. I mostly really like my guild (great people), but I get left out of a lot of guild activities because I only play Republic (I didn't enjoy being a mean bad guy) and I prefer to only play one main toon (eventually decided 1 maxed out monster > 10+ scrubs). If I were to quit my current guild, is it realistic that I would easily find a large, well-run guild that only focuses only on the Republic faction?
Most people prefer to play impside and not just because they are the bad guys (hehe you get options to be LS or DS on both factions/stories). And if you only have one character that is maxed out that will limit you in what you can do with any guild you join in. Some guilds have both factions but always one is more leaned on.
There are quite a few guilds that only run Republic side which you can find here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWTORGuilds/ or just browse these forums to see if people are calling out.
Hellbent might be one that you could check out too, they are pretty decent sized and focus mostly on pubside.
