Honest question, does anyone ever actually pay 7bil for one piece of gear in GTN or from another player? I found an Elegant Reveler (I think? It's the silver bikini with frills) for 50k apiece and bought it precisely because it was relatively cheap. I refuse to pay more than 500k for almost anything on principle. Maybe I'm too much of a Filthy Casual (TM), but from my perspective paying such absurd prices means either unhealthy desperation or the ability to get millions of credits in no time (for what it's worth, just my new Sentinel has made about 5-7mil only from story content and a few extra things). I know it's gonna sound dumb but what if we just boycotted these prices? Or am I just dumb? Edit: A thought experiment for people smarter than me, what if BW made it so you could trade CC for credits, or buy items from CM with credits? Maybe with a cap so the system isn't abused and BW still gets our sweet dollar bills?

YES! FINALLY! I CHEESED HER! AAAAAHHAHAHAHAA! SCREW YOU BIOWARE! MY SUFFERING HAS ENDED! Oh my god I can feel my neck and shoulders becoming looser by the second. But she is dead(er), and I am not. I'm not going to reveal how I cheesed her, only that it wasn't the old bridge trick (it got patched some months ago I believe). Let Bioware figure it out on their own. If you still have problems with Vaylin's spirit, just know that the dragon bleeds, and if it bleeds it can be killed. If you have no problems with her and beat her easily, I still hate you but good for you. And if you dare come to me and tell me I "did it wrong", "cheated", "did not respect the spirit of the game", guess what: I did it, I did all those things, and you can't do a single thing about it. This is not a fun boss, this is not an entertaining battle, it is a god d@mn nightmare. Like I said, I am a filthy casual. I play Skyrim with console commands. I play Lego games with walkthroughs. When I game, I want to turn off my brain and enjoy the space monks with the laser swords, not calculate whether my gear is optimized to my class and build, or fret about activating my Heroic at the exact second because my third defensive skill will deactivate and the cooldown for the interrupt is still resetting. I don't mind a bit of strategy like dealing with Scorpio's duplicates, using the shield in Arcann's duel, the team battle against Revan, Malak's healing mechanic from KotOR 1. But I can only take so much. I am a filthy casual, and proud of it. May the Force be with you all.

VAYLIN'S SPIRIT. In about 20 years of videogaming never had I met a more infuriating boss, I swear to god there has to be a person within Bioware whose singular job is figuring out how to make her kill us all more efficiently, and if you didn't suffer to her god bless you but I still hate you. I'm a level 80 LS Watchman Sentinel, my gear evens out to about 285-ish. I released Dramath 'cause I'm nice like that, so now I'm all alone against this monster. I get inside the purple circle, my entire health pool vanishes in seconds. I swear it's like she takes a step back so she's like 3.02m when I start attacking and now I'm the one getting killed. And before anyone even mentions it, yes, I do interrupt her attacks when I can and run away from Force Overload, only for her to teleport to me and kill me. I try to kite her to the healing memories, she stays on my butt whittling away my health, I move anything beyond two steps a second and she does the teleport jump that stuns me for two seconds and gives her more free damage. I never know if and when those green circles reappear, I don't know if there's a strict pattern or it's random, so I panic, run too fast, get killed. Being a pure DPS player I have no other heals and have to resort to medpacks; unfortunately, it is 10 years since the game released and still you can only use ONE MEDPACK PER COMBAT SESSION. Oh, and twice I was killed before the medpack cooldown even ended. The entrance glitch has been fixed, so that cheat is out of the question. I'm terrified of asking for help from another player out of fear of being utterly useless and dragging someone else into my problem. I have resorted to googling this boss with at least 4 variations of the word "cheat" because I just want to get out of there and move on with the story. I'm playing STORY difficulty. This is not a Story boss, this it at least a difficult Veteran boss with a Story sticker slapped on her. I'm a filthy casual and proud of it. I know NOTHING of CDCs, Heroic moments, gear optimization, ability rotation, etc. I just want to play, have fun, enjoy a cool story. I don't mind gimmicky fights, I think they're actually kinda fun. But this fight requires some kind of deep understanding of the meta that I don't have the time to learn. I can feel my soul draining out of my body just thinking about logging in, because it means I'm gonna see that mission objective. In about 48 hours I must have died 10-15 times. Bioware staff, I know you never read these posts, otherwise the changelogs would be so much larger, but on the off-chance someone ever reads this: this boss sucks, Chapter 9 and KotET both suck just for having her, whoever programmed her code I personally hate you. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
