Does acquiring gear feel too fast? Too slow? I am ambivalent as to the speed of obtaining gear. What bothers me is the amount of gear that I get that is still useless either to my character, play style, or gear level. Do you understand what to do to get gear? yes. put any higher level gear on even if it is crappy so you have a small chance to get better gear. How do you feel about the primary sources of getting gear? (playing content and Missions) This isn't bad but so far i have not been able to get any good increased gear levels playing this way. As an example. I ran hammer station last night with a gear score of 296. Every piece of gear I relieved was gear score 290. it would be impossible to get better gear this way. How do you feel about the contribution of the supplementary systems? (vendors, crafting, Renown) I am spending billions of credits deconstructing items for tech only to get mostly crap out of the vendors. This is however the only way i'm finding I can get better gear is a 1 in 20 chance of getting a piece that has a better armor, mod or enhancement to upgrade my equipment.

I cannot begin to describe my frustration with the customer support of this game. I try and be as detailed as i can but it usually ends up that i get some agent giving me a response that doesn't do anything. Example. I posted that my smuggler received a 252 offhand (shotgun). I removed the mods to place into my existing shotgun. Once the mods were removed i couldn't put the mods into my existing shotgun or the shotgun i had received. The response was you cannot place mods into items that they were not intended for. Really! Did you read the friggin bug? Fortunately I have a bounty hunter that dual wields guns that i found the mods will work with that toon. Does anyone else find that customer support is just going through the motions and not doing squat?
