I think what was mean was if you are correctly geared but the other three are not, ask them to vote kick you, since you cannot vote kick them and then you wont get the lock out for dropping the group. Not that you were wrong but as a was of avoiding the lock out when the situation is hopeless

Do we have two players A & B Player A & B both want a virtual vanity item to use when they group together, Whilst I am in favour of in game items rewarding in game actions. Like the Planet hopping to get the Magenta Crystals, the OP confuses me. Player A plays and plays and plays during the week and gets enough plot tokens to purchase said vanity item for when he groups with player B on the weekend Player B on the other hand "grinds" at a desk for 40 or 50 hours during the week taking fault calls for the local telecomminication company. Not having enough in game plot tokens, Player B uses some of his wages on the Cartel Market to purchase said vanity item for when he groups with player A on the weekend. Player B's actions are; the lazy way? Diminishing to Player A's Self esteem?? Morally Wrong??? According to the OP all three. As to the Hardcore vs Casual Players spectrum. I applied to a few "Causal" Guilds only to find the expectation of Casual was 3 to 4 hours per day at least 6 days a week. Turns out I am what ever about 1/6th of "Casual" is, so maybe just the "C"

Hey they remind me of the 1851 Navy, kinda. I see they are a Quest item for Smugglers. So I agree, they would be cool to be able to get them outside that for say BHs too

When was it Moral Outrage in this thread though? When was it outrage of any sort from the OP's question. Simply what is with the Player choice to have so much scantly clad females? How does a 'Fashion Model' in a Bikini with an assualt cannon look quite right. No more a Moral question that does a Salmon Shirt really go well with a Sky Blue jumper.

How was I being personal?

The way it is asked. Read as writtien it implyes the OP does think there are may but fixes so is calling Bioware on it.

If your argument is if you are okay with x, then you have to be okay with y when x and y are both "taboo" then By the same logic if you are happy with in it make believe then you can be happy with it in real life

So what you are saying is that by playing this game we are all guilty of advocating Genocide, Murder, Bigotry, Racism and slavery for profit, even you. But I get the OPs point in so much that in a Raid, it seems odd that over half the group seem to be the cast of Bay Watch. Not offensive but Odd. Hunting, say Snowblind on Hoth, in a Bikini.

The Imperial Trooper Captain on Drommond Kass by the Wall The 'Duchess'

We certainly need this armour as Adaptive Oranges

Some sort of SAW would still fit the style of the class.

So to sum up the thread, instant taxis ruin the immersion and waste scenery but we want instant travel everywhere as the scenry and immersion is not the game and so irrelevant.

Nothing in this world is instant. I assure you even the money you paid did not instantly go from you account to BW/EA's Regardless of whether you feel it is work subbing or not, do you in your own job provide 100% immeditate and instant graditication and serive 100% of the time, never delayed by a moment even by things beyond your control? Read what you have said and ask youself, how would you feel about a customer saying that about your own work, even if it is monitoring an emial bucket with an auto reply.

Today I was playing a BH on Drommond Kass. As I was working my way to the Big Status down the south east I noticed that whilst untrained slaves had the sense to take cover when my BH started shooting at them, my BH had no such thoughts and just stood in the open. It is the same for Troopers - yes they are big plates of armour etc etc but would it be ever something that would be considered to allow BHs and Troopers to use natural cover - not for any actual number benefits - just so the firefights look like one as opposed to some fool standing out of cover in the open? The NPCs at blockades shooting at reval NPCs do this.

In this thread, about splitng Colour and Power cystals, there was an idea by Noxsabe which I though should have its own thread As splitting colour and power crystals would be too much of a rework game wise on how modable items work. But if you could recolour exisitng crystals then people could have the variety of colours they want and not need to stick with the ones that have the right stats but to stay relevant. I guess the Idea being to recolour a crystal you could need an 1) Exisitng colour crystal, Say Yellow +4 edurance, for the sake of example. 2) So sort of recolouring admix - this could be creatable by Articie crafters 3) The Raw colour crystals for the new colour - lets say Blue for ease of example] 4) An assembly method which could borrow from the Datacon assembly. Have a place where you in put the old crystal and Admix and the Raw colour - run the cut scene and the game replaces the [yellow colour crystal +4 endurance] with [blue colour crystal +4] Now to make this more of a challange - rarer coulours could require quest chains ala the magenta colour crystals to get the 3) above. Thematically Planets or sets of planets could have thier own sets of colours. By that I mean Say Tatooine could be the place to go on treasure hunts/quests to get the raw colour cystals for oranges and yellows, coppers and bronzes., Alderaan might have whites and silvers. Ideally this would also mean that additional colours and shades of colours could be introduced.
