As I posted above, it is not a question of a small percentage of any race crossing over...the number we will see WILL BE TOO LARGE TO ACCOUNT FOR using the logic you and others are arguing for.
In a galaxy of many TRILLIONS of sentients, if every player on a server rolled a rare combination, it would still be a rare oddity in the galaxy.

I've never seen one MMO kill another MMO . . . even EQ, UO, and Meridian 59 are still going (and that's not mentioning all the MUDs and the like that are even older still going).
-
Fractions will never be balanced.
3/4 will always be greater than 1/2.
Yes, I know that isn't what you meant, but it is what I thought . . . just a bit a good-natured humor.

Species, Class, and Gender should remain fixed. Other customizations, go for it! Especially, if they add more options.

The only suggestion I would have for them would be maybe locking a Sith Pureblood into only being Darkside. That way they can still be a Jedi but have a Darkside streak in everything they do.
Yes, making evil genetic . . . Eugenics, look it up . . . not something that should be adhered to.

She's an Imperial Agent.
Plus, between brain washing and a possible execution order, the Dark Council proves it's perfectly willing to coerce you to do what it wants. So again, the guy is wrong.
So, she's a spy/blaster fodder. Still an Ensign, still a Star Wars equivalent of a red shirt. Oh, and PCs are willing and quite able to resist what the Dark Council tries on them, especially considering how many high-level folks the PCs kill off.

I'd rather replace him with one of those Gree droids, then I would reach green parallel within my ship.

I agree with a lot of what Vincynt said, as well as those who have said cross-server LFG tools have ruined communities.
Cross-server LFGs reduced the game to a Tactical Squad-Based Shooter style game, instead of an RPG, where, if you hit it off with another player, you can then go a group with them again, /friend them, and/or even guild with them.
I remember PuGs that resulted in guilding together, friendships, or simply running multiple dungeons together (PuG'd up for one dungeon, then ended up doing 3-4 dungeons in a row with that same group line-up).
It is the difference between a road trip with friends and potential friends versus public bus ride with strangers that have never met, will never see each again, and just want to get to the end of the ride.

Some people may miss it, but it doesn't look to be anything more than a small, non-vocal minority.

You're completely wrong here, but you'd need to play the agent storyline to know why. They actually address the very point you're talking about.
Ensign Temple is force-sensitive and lives in fear of the Empire discovering it because she knows she'd either have to attend the academy and fail or be executed
You are comparing PCs who are among the best in the Galaxy to an Ensign? The blaster fodder of naval-based Sci-Fi?

Jeez...people will complain about anything won't they? I bet if there was a perfect patch, people would still complain about it.
To paraphrase a saying, if TOR devs walked on water, there would people complaining that the devs can't swim.
-
Way to over-generalise there in order to defend the devs. But I suppose that shouldn't be surprising on this forum.
Well, since I've seen that over and over again in about 10 years of MMO gaming (I'm sure those who've played longer would have seen it further back), it is just my observation.
Actually, I've been in the "so many bugs" category before myself (back in Vanilla WoW and likely elsewhere). I can't remember if I've ever badmouthed a dev for releasing a patch later than I thought it would.
-
Releasing 1.2 early with bugs -> "ZOMG!!!!! Why are there so many bugs?! BioWare, test your game!!!!"
Releasing 1.2 later after more testing -> "ZOMG!!!!! The date has been pushed back!!!! The wait is ridiculous!!!!!"

Adam Smith, Frederick Hayek, Milton Friedman, and others are rolling in their graves...
By the way, OP, the GTN is not an AH, as there are no auctions on it.
-
gender/class . . . no.
appearance, yes. Especially, opening up new appearance options (new hairstyles, even new body types . . . or decoupling height from figure, etc.)
-
I'd rather just have UI customization than have to find and download one or multiple add-ons to do it, especially having to find and download updates to all those add-ons every patch due to the patch breaking the add-ons.
-
Couldn't find a joke thread, so I'll make one. I'll start with my awful puns...
What's Lord Silthar's favorite internet browser?
...Mos Ila Firefox
What's Darth Revan's favorite song?
..."Rakghouls in Taris" - Jay-Z and Kanye
I'd hope Revan had better taste in music, and it should be "Rakghouls of Taris" by Warren Zevon.
"Light Side and Dark" by Black Sabbath (with Ronnie James Dio singing)
"The Memory Doesn't Remain" by Metallica
"The Wreck of the Endar Spire" by Gordon Lightfoot
among others.

I feel that there should be no restriction on crystals in weapons that are not lightsabers.
Now when it comes to lightsabers I am sort of on the edge. While there are exceptions to the Red=Sith Green/Blue/Yellow=Jedi, these are all significant lore heros/villans. In the end, for lightsabers, this decision should be made by Lucasfilm and not EA or the SW:TOR players. If you start going down the exceptions list then Jedi should have a ranged option to use blasters and Bounty Hunters should have the option to use lightsabers. These exceptions also list for lore heros/villans.
If you actually pay attention to the quests, you would see that the PCs ARE significant heroes/villains.
The weapon limitations are purely gameplay balancing. Jedi/Sith are balanced around the specific lighsaber configuration they wield, for example.

Lucas is a "visionary." Visionaries are NOTORIOUSLY bad at details and day-to-day running of things. Good writers and directors both have to be good at details and day-to-day running of things. When Lucas tries to write, direct, or deal with details (Midiclorians(sp), etc.), he fails miserably.

That is, the single best summation, of my issue with the Jedi code.
You can't feel compassion without emotion, so with no emotion, there is no compassion.
Things like Justice require neutrality; compassion makes one lose that neutrality. That is actually part of the first Consular quest.

Also, each of those areas contain countless stars and even more planets and moons. Finding a certain planet, even one in a relatively close system, is not trying to find a needle in a haystack, but finding a particular needle in a needle-stack.

Different classes allow you to do different things. (Each advanced class has numerous abilities, most fundamental to the AC, that are not offered to the other AC. Tanking and Healing abilities are just the most obvious)
Different specs make you better at various things you could already do.
Since earlier posters mentioned WoW Druids (and because I played a Druid "back in the day"), I'll use them. My Bear Druid could nuke (I often pulled with Wrath, esp LoS pulls), heal (often topping myself off after fights with HoTs), melee dps (rarely), as well as tank. (I also would occasionally Battle Rez while tanking). My spec made me better at tanking than the other roles, but I could still do them, albeit badly (melee dps was more a gear issue than spec issue). Respeccing a druid is nowhere close to changing ACs.

The damage shield's visual could be the much-talked about "deflect blaster fire back on attacker."

LMAO!!!
You know SWTOR boat is sinking even faster than Rift right? We lost roundly half the player base in less than 2 months.
There's also a slight difference, in the other game I never ever saw a poll like this.
Out of 1.5k paying customers less than half like the game in its current state.
Finally Rift, like it or not, has a better engine, better textures, smoother FPS, better UI, better PVE and PVP content, a more balanced game, more gear choice and character customization, isn't limited to one type of weapon per class, has more social features, faster updates, better communication with its player base all of that delivering highly polished content, not half baked one.
One is truly a MMO while the other is a, for now, fair co-op game.
Speaking of AC switching and talent trees Rift beats TOR so much that you have to be either blind or a dev in disguise not to admit it.
I played Rift, I wanted to like Rift, the multi-class/soul system was interesting. The rest of the game? rather dull and boring. Main was a Riftstalker (Rogue-tank), and I got her to the mid-30s before boredom set fully in.
The most important factor for me is "Is it fun?" and TOR already beat Rift for me. ymmv.
