Incorrect. It doesn't matter if you bought BM pre-1.2 or post-1.2. See: http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=4325124&postcount=5

Exactly. They go on and on about how they want you to be able to look the way you want yet you're stuck in BM for longest time as you work toward WH. I wish the set bonus was tied to the BM armoring.

If true and no one was exploiting then this GM needs a kick in the . PVP on a PVP server? OMG - run for the hills! If you don't like PVP then don't roll on a PVP server. You'd think that if you're smart enough to install the game you'd be able to figure this out.

You know what's ridiculous? This issue was reported during testing of this patch and they still released it with this bug. It's so sad it makes me laugh.

You should be able to purchase BM pre-50. This is ridiculous.

As of 10AM EST today (weekeday): Fatman Hutta/Korriban are both sitting at ~29 people online. Naddist Rebels are both sitting at ~2 people online. In reply to the person who asked why I used data from a weekday I don't see why it should matter. I'm comparing two PVP servers, on the same day and at the same time of day. The point is one shouldn't be 14.5 times more populated than the other.

That's currently the only option. However, we shouldn't be forced to have to abandon our server when the tools exist to fix this issue. If they can program a game they can figure out transfers/merges. I wish BioWare would stop worrying about crystal color and fix the damn population issues.

Yes, this is not the first post on the topic and it shouldn't be the last. At the time of posting (AM on a weekday in the US): Fatman Hutta/Korriban are both sitting at ~29 people online. Naddist Rebels are both sitting at ~2 people online. Population issues should be the #1 concern for BioWare but clearly it it's not. Sure, we can re-roll on Fatman or the like... but that just punishes the player.
