You raise a good point. It is solely on how you type and communicate, not you're name! Also, despite the fact that "pancake" is interesting, it is most definitely not original.

Interesting view on such a subject. The logic is sound, perhaps for real life. This is a video game, as I am certain you understand, and video games are meant to stretch the boundaries of real life beyond that of the meaningless gripes and toils and narrow views that make up our world and it's people. In our world, if someone named their kid "pancake", they would certainly not be well received by the others, and in theory they would certainly not prosper. But in a video game, one can become whatever they desire. there is no boundary between the people that separates them one from the other. Everyone paid 60 dollars, and everyone pays 15 a month, therefor the only boundaries that do exist are fictional ones that are crafted by ourselves with the intention of creating differences where they do not exist. (Note this does not include the obvious boundaries between levels and gear, this is strictly social) Just my humble opinion

To be honest, before i read this thread, I was completely unaware that peoples names controlled their ability to play this game and/or find groups or guilds. I just never looked upon peoples names like that before, nor have i ever seen or heard of that. It seems completely unfair to judge the other players who's name is in question as being too "un-original" or explicit or silly. Maybe they are not trying to be stereotypical in their naming process, maybe it was accidental. My in game name is ChiefHuskey. This may seem un-original because chiefs have been around for thousands of years. But lets say I am that player who is accidentally un-original in his naming, I chose chief because I am in fact Native American, and I take pride in that. I chose Huskey because it is my last name. Add all this together and the name "ChiefHuskey" suddenly evolves from an bland, stereotypical and un-original name to a name of great meaning and personal enjoyment to myself within the game. I am not saying that all the "saladtossers" or "chubhunters" out there are victim to this treatment, I am simply saying that one should consider all players as equal regardless of name until proven otherwise.

Again, thank you all for the advice and good will. I did some warzones yesterday, and black Talon for the first time in the group finder. It was all a blast and i can start to see and figure out where i am going with my character now. Also, i chose armormech yesterday, is that bad?

Thank you all so much. These vids and guides are helping me progress. Thanks again for all the help.

Hello all. I am ChiefHuskey and I am really new to this game, as you can tell. I have decided to play as a Bounty Hunter as my main because i always have enjoyed the Bounty Hunters in star wars and i thought it would be pretty cool to shoot and burn people. I am asking for a little help from some of you more experienced people on how i should go about gearing and skilling my Bounty Hunter. I have done a bit of research on the topic and i have decided to pursue a pyrotech, the only problem is that the only guides i have found rely on the players already knowing a substantial amount about the game before hand, something i severely lack. So im asking if anyone kind enough would please help dumb some things down for such a disgraceful noob such as myself. Sincerely, ChiefHuskey
