For some people(not me), the fun is being good. The fun is being the Best DPS, Heals, or Tank. Those are the people who are here for the challenge, and yes, might be a bit elitist. But so what? If that is what they find to be fun, then that is their fun. This game is already currently too much of Play the way Bioware wants you to play, and not enough Play the things you enjoy, they don't need to add classes to that list of broken garbo.

All good things come to an end eventually. They are seemingly trying to cater to a different type of player than they had been previously, so I guess those who remain will see how it all pans out. I'll be done when my sub runs out as well, and move on to other ventures.

Problem is, they are also the same people standing around on fleet, begging people to queue for ranked PVP, because there aren't enough hardcore pvp'ers for them.

I feel like the main difference between a Loot Box in a video game, and a blind pack of toys or cards or whatever.. is that the blind pack still offers you something tangible, something you can feel and touch. A loot box is just code, 1's and 0's and nothing else, and when that game closes down, it's gone. Don't get me wrong, Loot Boxes are god awful and should burn. But I do see a difference. I would say something like Magic the Gathering, or pokemon booster packs are the same. You might get a good card, but you will usually get crap. But you still have the cards.

Everyone knows it is quicker to just click on the crew skill to bring up the mission window. The first suggestion would be, for it to remember the last grade you sent out on. Sometimes, I don't need to far the highest tier materials and would like a quicker interface for that, please. The second suggestion, would be for us to be able to sort the missions in the current tier, or all tiers. Would be nice, for example, if I am doing underworld trading, if I could sort all the Underworld Metals to the top, or Underworld fabrics. And always put companion gifts to the bottom, as they are utterly useless now when I can buy rank 5's straight from the vendor.

No wonder the Credit spammers have grown exponentially these days.

Isn't this almost the same exact thing that places like Walmart, And Amazon do? You go to Bestbuy to check out that new TV or Laptop and get a feel for it. Then you go home and buy it on amazon for Less. Undercutting to sell by volume is a perfectly valid strategy, and if it brings them enough credits to feel profitable, then why not. Others will be there to pick up the slack and over charge, anyway.

I've never really bothered with tanking classes in this game. I prefer DPS or Heals, even though I'm only average at it. I have a Mara in the 50s but I like the aesthetic of the Jugg and want to maybe try the tank spec. Should I bother with defensive mods/relics/implants, etc., while leveling or focus more on damage to kill mobs quicker?

I will say, playing a sniper currently(I'm still a noob.), I only see the roll to cover silhouette if I have an enemy targeted already. Otherwise, it does not appear for me and hitting f just brings me to a kneel where I am for my cover bar. Now, i haven't done **** in later areas, so maybe there isn't as much cover to roll to.

I played this game on and off for many years, and I'll be honest.. I didn't even know about Darth Hexxid.

I started at the official launch of the game and liked it. Played on and off for 2 years as SWG had just ended and I liked the SW universe. Then I stopped until this year and am confused as heck, now. None of my skills seem to be quite the same.

As a mostly casual player who just recently returned, I am essentially here for the story. Even when I played this game before, I never thought of it as a PVP game. I would occasionally queue for pvp, but that was mostly to get a few levels if I felt underleveled for story content(WAY back when it wasn't necessarily a cake walk.) There are just games that do PvP better; Eve, Albion Online, Elder Scrolls Online, League of Legends, and dozens more, if I were a competetive PvP player. I'm not saying Low/Mid level PvP isn't fun or an important part of the game, I just personally think that the people that are playing PvP are the veterans who have been here. There's no incentive for me to step into it at this point, before or at 70, honestly. But I'm a PvE player.

I picked up this game at launch and played for a while, but left before the RotHC even came out. I think it was because my computer wasn't handling it too well anymore, and I never really came back to it. I just got a new laptop that has no issues and came back to see if it still had the magic, and it sorta does. But it does suck to come back and half my quickbar be half bare and have to pay a buttload of money to relearn all my crafting recipes, that was ... fun. I know BW/EA have probably done a lot to streamline and make the game easier and more "casual friendly", but it actually feels more confusing than it did at launch for me, at any rate. Personally, I don't know if I will stick around, though. It's okay, but trying to get back into any of my characters feels kinda meh, and rolling new ones feels pretty tedious as well. I have been trying to play classes I didn't get to before I left, and so far only Sith warrior is holding any bit of my attention, but I still want to go back and finish my other class stories that I had started.

I have a stockpile of those level 10 +41s. I buy them any time I see someone selling them for cheaper than they are worth, because I know I can turn a profit on them. At level 50, a +41 crystal is so-so. But at level 10 or so, it's friggin awesome. Lol.

It is funny as I read these things, knowing they should be jokes, I can't help but to think this is how it will actually be. Charging for every little thing they can before people get fed up enough to just go away. I am sure they have made their money back and are just milking it while it lasts now. I don't see this game lasting more than a few years, sadly.
