What I enjoyed: 1. The event was a surprise. I loved having to figure out what was going on, and where. I did enjoy letting others know what I had found out, if they asked. I liked helping out other players. The end date being a mystery for a while was very nice as well. 2. I appreciate that BioWare thinks that we as players are smart enough to figure things out on our own. I LOVE that this wasn't on a PTR for months...there was no guide out for 2 weeks before the event. It was EXCITING and interesting to feel like you are actually discovering something. 3. The fact that dailies came out as the event went along, and everything wasn't released at once. 4. The rewards were interesting. 5. You could farm it. I know that's probably not the best feature in the world for some..but I loved it. I am VERY impatient. I want things NOW. Yes, I am aware that it's a bratty thing to say. But I like that I am able to control when I get something. I HATE gated content. It serves no other purpose than stretching thin content further than it should be stretched. Plus, it gives one more level of participation for those who don't really want to do the event...but like credits. They profit off impatience. Suggestions Going Forward: 1. Star Wars Holidays. Not our RL holidays. That isn't very appealing, and it's over done. But I'd like to celebrate some in game holidays that would be important to the universe....or even specific planets. 2. Perhaps involve a space chase in some kind of event? I think that would be interesting. 3. HK-47 He needs to be in some kind of event. LOVE HIM!

You were provided options to not participate. Via the vaccine or via simply running away. Exploding people are rooted in place, they can't chase you. If it were broken, they could have simply hot fixed it during regular down time. The fact that it was not fixed tells me...that yes...it worked as it should have. Again, just because you didn't like it...didn't mean it was unintended.

Somehow, I knew that the event ending wouldn't stop the complaining. IF BioWare saw a problem...they could have addressed it at anytime while the event was live. IF there were real issues, they could have hot fixed it. Neither of these things happened. I'm sure they saw all 12 versions of this thread. I'm sure they know that a handful of people were unhappy. But they did not address it or fix a thing. Why is that? Because the event was working AS INTENDED. Just because YOU are unhappy, doesn't mean something is broken or being abused.

I would also suggest.... Grayscale Player: Some colors are simply unattractive and offensive to other players. So, at the click of a button all other player armor colors are removed, so as not to offend the player's eyes. Modesty Button: Some players cannot handle the slightest hint of naked flesh, either in armor or in the underclothes all characters are equipped with. This button will put all players in full body coverings, much like long johns.

You can't use abilities like that on friendly players. You must be involved in PvP with an enemy of some sort to use knock backs.

Shennanigans. 1. You can't be mounted and explode. 2. You can't be moving and explode. It is literally impossible. You are rooted in place a few seconds beforehand. 3. They can't have possibly known you didn't have vaccines in your bag, even if you had no buff.

Make sure you get every single person who is infected on the fleet. Also, take screenshots to show their infection. This is clearly a huge problem that is mentally damaging people.

Constantly reporting anyone who is involved in the event...even with screenshots of their supposed infraction can get you in trouble. You're wasting CSR time and resources when those reps could be helping people with actual issues or dealing with real infractions. BioWare has clearly had more than enough time to change their stance on this event or clarify what people should and should not be doing. They have not, because it is functioning as intended. Simply because you are insistent that there is a problem, does not make it so.

I think the issue with horizontal expansion is that you can easily fall into serious ruts. And honestly, it's nice to have a reason to log into a high level character...IF you don't raid. It's nice to feel like your high level characters are getting more powerful, and getting into something harder. Take a look at City of Heroes. I played that for years. So far as I know they haven't raised the level cap, or if they have,...it's only been very recently. It's stale. I played a while recently with a new release and it's the same content I had done for years. Go into sewer...find things, kill them. Go into building, go through burnt out office, kill things. The new areas are nice, the new graphics are lovely. But it's the same old same old. While I AM all for new content as far as story goes and expanding some what horizontally, I think leaving the level cap alone is a mistake.

Sorry..I should have been more clear. What do you want BioWare to do about it...that will have one iota of impact? Seriously. All the suggestions won't solve the problem. Randomizing the spawn timer won't work. People will just be camping longer. Making it BOP won't fix it. People will still be there just to take it away form someone else or to get it for themselves. This is simply the nature of a rare spawn world item. It is what it is. Other people want it just as you do, why are you more entitled to it?

And do you know what will happen then? People will park themselves there with the sole intent of making it so the egg will NEVER pop. So then what?

Some people will perpetually see themselves as victims in any situation. Regardless of what BioWare does or does not do in the future, they will find a way to be the victim. Nothing is ever in their control, nor is it their responsibility to fix it. It's someone else's job to make it all right. It's just in some people's nature to do so. I think if nothing else...this thread proves it. Regardless of all possible solutions and explanations...some folks are sincerely dead set that they world is out to get them...and that someone owes them for their perceived hardships.

Mechanics are NOT being misused. They are being used exactly as intended. It isn't harassment or griefing or anything other playing the game as BioWare intended. If the Fleet were truly a "safe zone" then there would be no way for players to get there while infected. The quest to infect people would only be valid on Tattooine. IF the mechanics were not working as intended...they would have hot fixed it....or made a statement in favor of what you few are going on about. They haven't "fixed" anything....because nothing is broken and nothing is being misused. Simply because you dislike something, doesn't make you a victim of some evil conspiracy to disrupt your game play. You just don't like it. And that's fine. You don't have to like it. But making statements that BioWare is encouraging griefing or harassment is stupendously silly.

That still wouldn't stop it. People would still be there camping it for themselves....or annoying others simply for the sake of being annoying without ever wanting or clicking on an egg. (The rest of this post is not directed at you personally...more at those complaining in general. And I am using YOU in the general term) Changing the spawn timer won't fix it, making it BOP won't fix it. Making it so only one character can ever click the egg won't fix it. Let's be really honest, some people are jerks. And some people want it for themselves with no jerk type motivation. Some people want to sell the egg, still doesn't make them jerks. World spawn items are always going to be desirable, and will always be competed over. One person (or more) will lose, one person will win. Simply because you are on the losing side doesn't mean the system is broken or "unfair". If someone is botting, please report them. It will make all of our lives much simpler. And camping it to make money is no less valid than camping it to collect. Just because one person wants it more...doesn't mean that egg if theirs by right. Just because you've been there camping it, doesn't mean it's yours. Is it frustrating when someone is rude? Sure. But they never took anything from you. They were just faster or heck..they even cheated. But until it's in your inventory...that egg isn't yours.

Can someone confirm or deny a 30 minute respawn timer on the ferns? I'm hoping to see someone with this recipe that won't want a million credits to make it.
