  1. As we all know, to complete the achievement <That's Just Wrong!> on Tatooine one needs a Party Jawa (not the hologram, not someone else's Party Jawa in our group), which is an item given to early subscribers. I understand that people who were in the game from the start have been acknowledged by this and other gifts and titles, but achievements should be something anybody presently playing the game should have the possibility to get. Therefore, like many other people in my same situation, I would ask you to consider to either make the Party Jawa available again (for instance on the Cartel Market) or to simply remove that achievement from the game. I cannot stand having most planets at 100% and Tatooine at 99% forever. ---- Update: after reading the first week of posts, let me make a quick update. First, for those who asked, about the mechanics of the achievement. If you have deployed a Party Jawa and you group with someone who hasn't (it does not matter whether the other person has or not the Party Jawa; the important thing is that it's not deployed) then any killing (by you or by others in your group) will count for your achievement. If you do not have a Party Jawa, obviously you can't deploy it. Therefore it does not matter whether you are in a group with players with Party Jawas, you'll never get the achievement. I checked all this with a friend who does have the Party Jawa. Second, one cannot compare the Party Jawa achievement with PVP achievements. They may be difficult but they are not impossible. And many of them are not difficult either. We are simply talking about different problems ("PVP achievs on a PVE server" vs "unobtainable achievs"). So I would keep the discussion focused on the topic of the thread. Then about those players who disagree with the suggestion of removing the achievement or making the Party Jawa available on the CM. I understand that this is a little piece of history of the game and you want to keep it exclusive for those who were there before a certain date. That's fine by me, it's fair. But on the other had, like other people remarked, it does not make sense to have a mixed system of achievements where normal ones are intermingled with some that are simply impossible to obtain. Therefore, a most sensible solution would be non-discriminatory, one that would make both "early" and "late" players happy. I see only two possibilies with this requisite. The first one is to make the <That's Just Wrong!> achievement HIDDEN. This hidden achievement could stay in Locations->Tatooine or be moved to a separate section of achievements solely for early players. If you are a late player, you'll never see that achievement in your tab but you'll be able to see 100% Tatooine after putting a honest effort to it. If you are an early player, you can get those 10 extra points (or 100, fine by me) by killing the Jawas on Tatooine, and you'll always be ahead of me by 10 (or 100, fine by me) points even if I had all the other achievements of yours. You keep your prestige, the game developers don't do any injustice to anybody, and we are all happy. The second possibility is to keep this achievement visible but to move it to a separate section dedicated to founders and early players. Also in this way people like me will be able to peacefully complete the Locations achievements without much frustration. I find this second solution less desirable, however, because the only message late players receive when they see impossible achievements in their achievement tab is a sort of punishment by the developers: "See, if you had subscribed early you could have obtained all these achievements, now it's too late, remember this when you'll play another game of ours." It is not a positive message and it cannot benefit anybody; for one thing, I would think twice before playing another game by the same developers. On the other hand, having these "impossible achievements" in a separate section would be considerably less frustrating than the present situation. I don't care having all the achievements of the game. I never will anyway. The point I would like to make with the game developers is another and I think that many people who read this post have got it straight. Thank you all for your contribution!
