No dye, I'm wearing the legit Jedi Battlelord robes without any modifications to them, it just looks awful now.

My Jedi Battlelord Armor looks like the same color as a sick dog's poop, a mustard brown color that in no way shape or form is as it should be. Anyone else?

Months? PoT5 started complaining about needing a merge back in April of 2015.

Soloing the Heroic 2 Star Fortress is beyond stupidly easy in every way shape and form... not once have I ever been concerned that I was going to die or that I needed to really turn up the DPS on them.

Spoken like someone that has difficulty clearing Story Mode TOS. This guy was gonna get the gear way faster than you and everyone else that put less time in anyways since its all down to a BS grind. All the guy was probably trying to do was get back to the point of which he can do the content he desires to do faster or be paid the appropriate amount he earned. Much like how my one night a week raiding NiM is going extinct due to the simple fact that Bioware expects me to grind heroics, flashpoints and Story Mode Ops (on multiple characters) rather than farm specific operations on HM to get my gear and jump right back into NiM.

The guy could have asked in game and gotten the answer. I will tell you this right now, the proposed system is far and away worse than anything we have right now without question.

Current top end gear is 224 off of the vendors on fleet that require Ultimate Exarch tokens dropped from the weekly priority hard mode or Nightmare level raids. There is a vendor specifically for Knights.

This doesn't show anything either way, its a simple question. I haven't PVP'ed this past year so I have NO idea what the stats are of the top end PVP gear is, nor what its technical name is.

I hated the DvL event, I did not participate in it at all and I still stand by the opinion that it was a colossal waste of time. Ohhhh boy, another nameless, storyless companion to fill the ranks of my growing army of other companions I will never use. I will say that the argument that they used resources that could have been used elsewhere is false though, DvL was mailed in by an intern, just like the past PVP season's rewards. Took no imagination, minor coding and virtually nothing in the art department. Just because you feel good that you got a lackluster event compared to the gree, or rakghoul well, good for being simple

Or you find that the vast majority of guild raid teams will frequently fill in holes in other raid teams in the guild and never roll on a single piece of loot because they're working on lower tier stuff and the loot has zero use to you. Or for giggles a bunch of the more experienced raiders will bring in someone to show them the ops and they leave with absolutely everything that dropped save for cosmetics. It sounds like you got into a guild run that you weren't a part of and a piece of loot was ear marked for one person and it made you butthurt....

Sorry just going by my previous experience testing 2.0, 3.0, GSF.... Major systems on PTS ride allllll the way through to live, bugs and all.

So you straw man it, and then go on to say we dont know how long the gear grind will be. Actually we do, there are people on PTS right now going through the levels, and they aren't quick. You're not gonna walk out of an operation with gear. Teams that have been together for years always have players who log in more and play more. Those teams are going to get stuck waiting on the players who don't, further delaying that team getting back into the ancient content they were already working on. If I'm the elitist raider who doesn't want to share their gear that must mean you're the try-hard story mode hero who just doesn't have the skill or drive to put in the effort to get the higher end stuff. not that it matters for you because you can LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING BESIDES HIGH END RAIDING OFF OF THE COMMS GEAR.

Yes lets grind for the sake of grinding because grinding. RNG really is in fact that bad. I don't understand how people don't seem to comprehend this: They did it already in this game, it failed, that's why we have tokens. I know which operations I need to run in order to get a certain item of gear should I need it. I also don't want to be stuck waiting on little Jimmy who has now gotten 10 tank Gloves in a row for his DPS Guardian.

You also get to roll on each boss, for a piece of loot. You don't gain entire levels and new loot boxes every single operation. Also, I play once a week, that's it at this point, and I raid NiM content. Your magic plan is asking me to run story modes for months and months to get BACK to what I was doing? Not to mention that command ranks are per character, currently I have 26 alts, all of them ready to step in and fill a needed roll via legacy gear. Well that isn't possible anymore unless I plan on wasting my entire year grinding boring crap that I don't want to do. The obvious fact is that the drops were already too easy for people to get the absolute best of the best gear, not to mention there is ZERO reason for it for Story Mode hero's, so why change something that wasn't broken completely, to something that is very clearly crap.

Seriously... ask him about poorly received ideas and pushing them through anyways. It's bad enough that you've taken a dump on anything that isn't a fantastically over priced single player game, but actively bringing back something that you've already done, and failed with... someone isn't thinking over there.
