All the class stories are too mary sue for my taste.

It was 10 min originally. The wait was there because it was stressful at the time for the servers to teleport players between planets. When they got better servers, they lowered it to 5 min. I preferred the SWG waits, even the 10 min ones, because players would stand around and socialize, sell crafted items, roleplay, duel, etc. I remember dueling was very popular, and there were a number of people who would hang out in starports all day waiting to duel travelers. Running through hallways doesn't allow for any of these things, it's just a pointless timesink and a way to make the game appear larger than it is.

I'd kill them all if it were viable to play without them.

My personal enjoyment is the only criteria I care about when judging if a game is good or bad.

Have a double disclaimer. If you click yes twice, it's your own fault.

Have companions only killable after their main story arc ends, (which, for many, is the moment you can use them) and don't write new plots that necessitate them being alive. Optional quests and romances become unavailable, obviously, but if you're killing a companion chances are you wouldn't be doing those quests anyway.

I had this same droid idea a few days ago, and am so pleased I'm not the only one who wants this. :) I definitely think this should be an option. Even better would be if these new droids were mute.

I've never had general chat on. Turning it off was the first thing I did.

In LOTRO you could change your surname any time you wanted, as many times as you wanted, for free. And it didn't have to be unique to the server. Any number of people could choose the same name. It was awesome.

Those quests really do break immersion after a wile, and it seems like they get more common at later levels.

Nope, you're only allowed to romance the most boring and unappealing characters.

It does seem that way for a lot of people.

I'd milk it for money and donate all of it to the SWGEmu project.

I like the Consular story, and I love the class. I *HATE* the companions. All of them are terrible. I had to stop playing that character because of them.

I was disappointed by this too. LOTRO didn't have these restrictions. There's no reason for them.
