    • Hard to discuss something like this with someone who clearly has a closed mind. You haven't even read through the posts in this thread because I stated earlier I was in a 8 man premade for the exact reason of taking on another 8 man premade in the queue. We sent them a challenge only to be declined lol. So we had to sit in queue trying to snipe them while the broken matchmaker didnt even put the two groups together 😂😂. The only reason we got such a big group together is because we were all in smaller groups continually having to face a big 8 man completely outnumbered. So in one aspect you are right there are people out there who don't want competition. The ones who do, don't form a massive op premade to fight pugs we play with a couple friends hoping to see other premades like minded and have some good battles.  Issue you have right now is the one group of people forming an 8 man, with the intention to dodge any and all smoke. That leads to players like me who don't want to queue an 8 man (because it really isn't any fun unless its a guild challenge) being forced to do so. Then matchmaker is so completely broken it pits the two 8 man premades against pugs in two completely different warzones. This happened I'd say about 80% of the time or more the past few days.  So ur way off base in the assumption that all premades just want to stomp pugs first off. Second splitting the queues will only exasperate the population problem so no there really is no reason for a completely seperate queue. Third, the majority of premades are relatively small.  The solution is breaking up the 8 man's, meaning those players forming two seperate groups. Then fixing the matchmaker and ensuring those groups face eachother.  Edit: @Luciferior can attest to this. My group got him in a novare coast yesterday (only knew it was u cuz the guild tag lol), im sorry bro we were honestly only in such a big group to snipe a 6 man who was queing and crushing pugs. We got them one time in like 5 matches queued...and we were wating for them to exit a wz in order to queue up at the same time in the hopes of having a big match. Matchmaker is ur enemy not premades. 
    • Yeah one can dream. There'd be tons of pretty immersive and  obvious  GSF themed rewards just waiting to be created and  handed out! Some of these are  bit high effort to create, like the custom ships you mentioned would be cool. Color mods, paint jobs.   Something like establishing military ranks for Imperial/Republic/Alliance Navy pilots, paired with uniforms featuring  rank insignias would already amount to tons of pretty immersive  rewards, ones that'd likely be very quick and simple to develop, and naturally afford some  massive asset recycling by the very nature of uniform.        
    • Your not Forced to do the PvP objectives. I'm  choosing to either do 5/7 or 6/7 objectives this week, because I refuse to do the PvP ones, and don't like some of the others either.    Do the ones you like. You have plenty of time to still get the 800 points, and 100 weeklies done.
    • I do something similar to the person above with four tabs, yet I also really "dislike" seeing the channel (add) / (remove) messages; it would be wonderful to hide channel joins & leaves! All I have in my 2nd (tab) "Other" is System Feedback, and while most want to see what drops are given.  They don't want to see channel join / leave requests for every user who comes & goes into each channel. Great idea by the OP author @Merkvah for this to be filtered out of system feedback.  
    • It seems weird to me to have them run side by side, but I guess on the bright side, those working on completing PVP Season 5 will have an easier time this week with GS. It's painful enough that PVP doesn't pay you any Blueprint Fragments. If it increases the queue rates for lowbie arenas, I'll appreciate it a bit more. I enjoy how laid back Arenas are when playing under level 80. It feels more of a "for fun" thing and less of a competition, which brings out the worst in many players.
