A friend of mine plays a gay male IA and women were all over him. For example on Tatooine the main associate lady came onto him during the last class quest even though - according to my friend - he'd turned her down many times by then.

Hey ho, could you give us some clarifications on your plans for SGRAs and same sex flirt options?

They've removed the option to comment on it. Or at least I cannot do that. There were quite a few SGRA comments, though.

No, it's purely because women don't flirt in this game.

I haven't had any romance options yet. I use mainly only Kaliyo, and we all know she won't do anything with my female IA. Although I must admit I'm not sure if I would flirt with her even if I could. She's really not my type of girl, I'd rather wait for someone I'd care about - well, as much as you care for a game character Not avoid, not choose (see above) but if I'd had anything with Vector, I'd choose not to do anything with him. I'm a lesbian in real life and could not bring myself to romance anything manly, even if it was a woman. I don't want to play male characters ever, so that's not an option. I also couldn't play a gay (male) character if that was an option. Not yet, I think most of them are quite horrible, so in that sense I'm relieved I'm not missing out on a possible romance of the decade. More than that I'm pissed I can't flirt with women! Flirting is fun fun fun, and if I'd be going out with a companion, I fear I'd feel forced to bring that companion along everywhere - flirting is more liberating. But if there was someone I'd really like to call a Companion, I'd most likely be really sad at the moment.

When will we get SGRAs?

Yes, a simple "We're already working on them right now/we have made a project plan for them, but unfortunately we cannot give you a specific date for their release yet." would work just fine.

+1 support And that's what I assumed about my IA until I played with a friend of mine, a male IA. I shouldn't have done that, ignorance is a bliss.

Go read the header again, it says this thread is asking for clarifications and not that same mumble jumble we have been given thus far - it doesn't mean anything if they've said they're "planning" to do SGRAs, anyone can say anything without meaning it. People are leaving because they can't play the game the way they want unlike some others, and they pay just as much for the game as the rest. Secondly, this concern isn't away from other game development aspects. Different departments do different things. And no one could say from your posts that you're actually for SGRAs. In my books a large part of this MMO is RUINED, as I can't play my characters the way I want. For some people character development is as important or more important than gearing up, for example. If you couldn't have some gear that others can and feel left out because of that, would you be happy? You expect everyone to think SGRAs would be a nice addition but nothing serious. I don't care much about PvP. Should I go troll PvP forums and say everything they want is "said to be coming at some vague point in the future, why do you still keep talking about this?"

Does anyone know if they have fixed Asha Catari? I hated her moaning. Also have they had other ridiculous dailies such as that wet t-shirt contest for female players only? Those two things made me quit that game and anticipate SW:ToR and Bioware's new, egalitarian game. LOL.

I would've too, but I have to keep subscribing or my partner won't talk to me for weeks. The MMO Report has a little bit on SGRAs, not much and not the way I would have wanted them to bring this issue up, but it's still something: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/tag/3321/the-mmo-report/ As for the disappearance of old forum tr... posters, I see a couple here and there but not many. The good thing (or bad, depends on what you consider entertaining) is that there aren't any bigots anymore. Maybe they enjoy the current situation or maybe moderation is superfast? As a matter of fact, we should have a poll about this, they draw people like flies.

When will you implement SGRAs?

Didn't I see you trolling the other post about this same subject as well? Hard to forget.

wut? Anyhow, I think they should lower the costs a little, sounds a bit over the top. Shouldn't the game's main purpose be amazing end game, not endless grinding? Each to their own I guess, but I'd rather spend my time on something else than grinding and GTN.
