I agree. I hope it costs a million credits.

Yeah, and its a pretty horribly boring and easy raid. The biggest difference which has already been stated is gearing is too easy in TOR. People don't care about content. All they actually care about is gear. Been full clearing dragon soul longer than TOR has been out and still don't have BiS gear. TOR is a different story from what I've seen(I have not personally done all the operations but have seen people in full BiS gear). Fortunately in a gear based progression game that can be fixed with a new tier of operations. And WoW isn't putting anything out for 8-9 months so Bioware has some time to impress.

Maybe get rid of the loading screens and have flight between planets take a minute or two showing us video of flying through space. Other than the loading screens I really like the travel.

There was a thread on this already. Yes I would. But if Bioware wasn't making it AND it wasn't star wars I wouldn't be playing.

Regardless of how fast it is, adding a LFD would make it even faster across many styles of players. There is a reason WoW's subs have stagnated and are now dropping ever since it was introduced there.

I doubt there is an expansion out this year. More likely November-December of 2013.

It makes the journey too quick. When those are introduced anyone will easily be able to queue to max gear in a matter of weeks. As it is now I need to dedicate time so I don't run flashpoints very often. Its probably going to be months to get everything I need. I'd rather be playing this game for months instead of 2 weeks.

I would expect them eventually. I guess it depends on how they handle gear progression and questing in content patches on how imperative they are to the longevity of the game.

Bioware being the developer is a bigger factor than it being star wars. If neither were the case I wouldn't be playing it.

I was planning on playing for about another year. Would be retiring from MMOs completely at this point. But if a flashpoint finder is implemented before then, that is when I'm quitting.

Same here. My 2 accounts will be gone. I left Rift when it was implemented, I'll be out of here too.

A huge gear difference should result in a straight up loss. Skill still trumps gear though if you are anywhere close. Most people in all pvp gear would fair fine. I've downed a lot of battlemasters with half champion and half a mix of centurion and pve gear. The bigger problem with fresh 50s getting steamrolled by battelmasters is centurion gear is such a pain to get. The expertise is the big stat that levels the playing field. If that was easier to obtain newer 50s would be much more competitive with more experienced pvpers.

I really like hutball. A lot of times all I get at night are civil war and voidstar. And I'm imperial.

Well this is good to hear at least. Since hard/nightmare mode is the real progression. Normal mode ops are supposed to be easymode. I still agree with the OP the gear drops should be nerfed substantially, but at least the real raiding isn't so dumbed down.

Because most people need goals to keep going. If those goals are achieved in a matter of weeks that is all many people will stay subscribed for.
