Yes, you clearly have a lot of passion for the characters and care a lot about them, which is great to see!

Hey ZionHalcyon, Firstly, I really appreciate your post and the way you laid out your concerns. I bet you're not the only one who worries that the Influencer group is out of touch with everyday players. I am an Influencer myself. My name is Jessie, AKA Stardust Legacy, and I have been an influencer since December (playing since Feb 2012). My passion for this game is deeply rooted in the story. I am well-known in my guild and among my friends for never spacebarring content and always taking time to explore the gorgeous landscapes that we play in. I have many GBs of screenshots of the art of this game slowing my hard drive down as we speak! I love flashpoints (so much story in there!) and I have done all the operations, but they are not my focus. I am very invested in the origin game (class and planet arcs) and the story-based expansions. I love that SWTOR endgame isn't all about raiding, though I enjoy trying the raids with my friends, too! The Influencers talk to each other a lot and I feel confident in saying that most of us are not elite gamers, though some are into the higher-tier raiding and PvP. I think it's good to have the spectrum represented in the group so that we can help bring the concerns of our communities to the developers for the benefit of all types of players, l33t, causal, social, solo, PvE, PvP, RP and all the hybrid ways to play. By the way, and this is for eveyone: your Influencers are there to speak for you, the community. Reach out to us, let us know what your concerns are and how you want to see the game developed. I don't claim to have a Batphone and unlimited powa! but I am here to speak for players so let me know how to help you get the most from your SWTOR! Best to you and happy gaming! Stardust Legacy

Happened last night and again just now, login number is getting larger rather than smaller

Hooray! This is a great change since the mega dues-charging guilds just churn out war supplies like factories and other guilds focusing on actual missions and Ops appear to have little chance to take top slot. In looking at our data and in seeing playing feedback, one thing we have noticed is that many Guilds are primarily using the repeatable Crafting objective to gain points for Conquests. Although we want to include Crafting as an essential part of the Conquest effort, we don’t want that objective to be the “only best answer” to Conquests. Due to this we are making the following changes: The Objective “Conquest: War Supplies” is no longer repeatable and is set to reward 2,000 Conquest Points for any Conquest that included that objective. These changes will be reflected in Knights of the Fallen Empire when it launches. Thanks everyone. -eric

I was never a gamer, like I never played anything except Pac Man in my whole life-- and I didn't discover this game until March 2012. I've been a subscriber since then and have so many happy memories that I can't begin to describe them without boring everyone to tears. Star Wars: The Old Republic brought the expanded universe alive for me in ways that passive entertainment like movies and TV shows could never do. I'm so thankful to the developers, actors and the community for making this game so rich, beautiful, and fun to play. The first few weeks I played this game I could barely operate the directional controls, now I do operations and am lucky enough to be the leader of a fantastic Imperial guild. SWTOR changed my life!
