Why do people make such a big deal at some feeling like some items should be exclusive and actually require effort to attain.

The problem with this assumption is that if it went the other way i could easily make the same argument as you from the Republic's point of view. Someone has to win and someone has to lose; most likely it will be some form of back and forth. Just as the joker said to the Batman" I have a feeling we will be doing this for a long time".

If i am not mistaken the reputation system is being introduced in 1.7; other than a new planet no new features or game systems or PvP Maps have been announced with Makeb.

Well the voice of reason prevails. I seriously hope to see a public flogging of the fellow who suggested limiting quickbars to begin with.

Bothans Kel Dor Nautolan

I get your point about the Romances, but I do not see why they could not have inserted Nautolan considering they are similar to Twileks just with more head tentacles.

I am not the least bit hyped about it since I really doubt the Hero Engine can handle full 3D navigation in space.

Where are the Bothans? Also most of what you listed either don't speak basic or would not make since in many of the stories(ie. . . Droids realy?). Cat people tend to always get top billing in many MMOs these days.

Honestly more alien species are welcome. I am surprised that the Cathar got top billing before the Bothans did considering how the Battle of Bothawui figures heavily into the games lore.

Continuing to develop class specific stories I think would be impossible without taking two or more years to develop them into a proper expansion. That being said i have no issue with the group "Avengers" style of story quests. I think tying more of the stories together is a good idea and would save them on development costs. We should be careful not ask for the moon here; they are short on devs and i don't want to give EA anymore reason to shrink it further. No other MMORPG comes even close to the scope SWTOR went to to develop story, so i can forgive them if they feel it necessary to tighten it up a bit and combine the story; frankly this game need more group centered content.

I feel the that the GTN is woefully inadequate for popper trade. The way it works now is you set a price and then someone just pays that. I feel the economy would get a big boost if it worked more like an auction where people could bid on a item with maybe an automatic buyout number.

This actually effects body type 3 as well just to a less extent.

Your AC is your class to be able to actually switch class mid game would be game breaking.

You see i like the people behind it many of them have made great games like KoTOR. I just believe the market is not in the position to sustain another sub based game; to be honest they should have went the route of GW2 and just sold box copies with no sub fees.

My main question is will we see major content updates like full on expansion packs that further the main story of the game? I mean more Operations and Flashpoints are nice, but I want to see a continuation of the overall story of the classes.
