Allowing new players to buy armor sets is good. But most of us long time players have all but 1 or 2 pieces of the sets that we haven't already completed. Not providing the ability to buy the individual pieces--for less than 10k Tech Frags--that we need is insulting & dismissive to those of us who have been here through the years. Stop taking half measures and actually implement a complete solution for a change.

This isn't an expansion by any normal definition. What did they do? Forced players to play old content they normally prefer not to. Severely Limited options for both FP's & Ops. Created a horrid Equipment grind that compels players to do every type of activity that they want to force on us. (Hint--if players aren't playing old content--like Heroics or low level FP's, there is probably a reason. You can't make them better by just making them mandatory for the grind) Completely Devalued our old Gear Sets. Took away our variety of weapon looks. (Are you going to reimburse everyone for the real $ they spent on Cartel Coins for the cool looking weapon that they no longer use thanks to your poor decisions?) Raised the Level Cap--nobody cares about that. Gave us 1 new FP that has more Bugs than Starship Troopers. As they were hyping up 7.0, they told us there would be a new combat system that allowed you to play your class in new ways--making it sound like we'd be able to be a Power Tech wilding a Lightsaber if we wanted to. Then gave us a weak option of adding an existing Class as our 2nd combat option. All of us Legendary Players have these classes already. Great--now I have another [insert Class Name]. In short--you took away our freedom to play how we want to play & gave us basically nothing in return. 7.0 is an insult. When you finally realize how badly you blew this & start fixing things--take a serious look at Cut Scenes in Groups. They were a cute novelty at first. Now they are nothing more than a source of frustration amidst a huge time sink you've turned our supposed source of entertainment into.

Week 1--you force us to run Lost Island, Nathema and the new Flash Point. Horrible time sink in the least liked Flash Points in the game. (People leave Lost Island right after zone in frequently & Nathema is still not suited to a group without an actual Tank & both take way too long) Week 2 you push Esseles on us--the most Cut Scenes ever & another big time sink. No benefit to running at all it now. Between things like this, drastically slower Conquest gains for those of us who work long hours & have limited play time, making the Gear sets we worked hard to collect useless after going from Level 75 to 76, and the new armor system--this Expansion is just bad. Being able to switch from Commando to Smuggler and back with a Loadout doesn't make up for any of it. Fellow players--if you enjoy it, that's great. Not here to change anyone's opinion. As a Star Wars fan since I watched A New Hope in the Theater back in '77, I hope my feelings are not shared by other Star Wars fans. I just don't see anything they added being fun for the players. Since 7.0 went live I feel like I have a 2nd Job, not a relaxing past time.

Right clicking to watch a a spinning wheel for hours to try & get Emperor Casino Chips out of a Kingpin Machine is dreadful. Give us the ability to convert Chips. Conversion Rate of 50:1 or even 100:1 is far better than having to spend hours performing one of the most boring activities in online gaming history. I'm speaking specifically of the Slot Machine play. Other aspects of the Event are ok. Poll your players--you will find the vast majority support Casino Chip Conversion capability. We've asked for it for years. Perhaps it is time you listen?
