This. It would not solve the problem of afk'ers, but would be a good start against rage quitters, not loaders, etc...

if they implement this instance server there is nothing that would stop cross server pvp

We might have 1 merc in the top 5, he may be exploiting or he may be so lucky that if he would play the lottery he would win it twice in a row.... What is more relevant, that we have 3 other in the top 200. That is 2%... There is just nothing I can do.. Always focus targeted and stunlocked. If i stay back they just run through the rest of the team to cherry pick. If left alone i can do decent damage and burst but i have no survivability.... I am open to suggestion how you deal with it.

I would not use Quick Thinking, but would put 2 points to Charged Barrier. I am contemplating between using Weapon Calibration and Parralactic Combat Stims which gives 4% alacrity increase permanently and 8 energy cell whenever i have some movement hindering effect (which is like always) OR What you say Reflexive Shield and Decoy, which gives you 1 absorb of a force/tech attack and 3sec CD reduction of your shield every GCD when you are being damaged (the base CD is 90 sec so you would need to sustain a lot of damage to gain meaningful reduction. I think it is better for 1v1 than arena and 8v8)

What do you guys think is better for a min/maxed conqueror geared gunnery commando, the conqueror barrel or the dreadforged (78) barrel? I assume the obroan barrel is the best, but until I farm it...

They could make a raid where the opponents (trash + boss) is different texture if you are imp or pub... as a pub you can fights imps and as an imp you can fight pubs... as the abilities have both imp and pub version it should not be difficult to make and you can advance the war story... like the pubs defeat some imp general/sith, while the same time the imps defeat some pub jedi master.

I am sure you would be fine to pay cc on top of the subscription just to log in the game... The fact is they changed something for the worse and if i want it back to the state it was before (being able to use it on any of my character), I would have to pay cc. Also I bought it for quite a lot of money back then, knowing after I am done using it, I could resell it. This cannot be done anymore... So a big slap in the face.

It is more disgusting, that they retrospectively changed to BoE the previously freely tradable version. Just so that you would need to spend cc to use on multiple character.

Yay for the silliest post in the thread! The character is a tool that the PLAYER uses to achieve in game objectives. GL to your character doing anything without your actions... Therefore the PLAYER has the right not the tool he uses. In this quote you just implied that you have more right to the loot then the OP, because the OP is overgeared... By your own definition you are the moron. The OP doesn't ask for more rights, he asks the exact same rights everyone else with a lesser TOOL would have. You try to give less rights to the OP, who would carry your sorry *** PUG group. You should say thank you for his better contributions and give him the same right everyone else has.

Is there a specific reason why the TOP5 commando/merc are all mercs? Are the players better on imp side, or the class performs better as merc due to the dual wielded weapons? Would it be possible to add the top 3 commando to the bottom as reference?

there are beginning cinematics/cutscenes for every operation... Maybe you should not just jump in the queue, but look around on fleet, talk to the quest givers etc... Also to skip the Dread Master storyline completely you would need to skip a ton of missions.

You can just put your comapnion on passive, run away and he will resummon next to you... then you order him to attack... all while in combat.

Now if i would generalise, which gender is more likely to contradict themselves in the next sentence it would be incorrect

I also noticed this when i was leveling my alt tank to 55... very annoying as i got much less XP, while I was doing them purely for XP (had camp/DG gear) But it has an easy solution... if you see that 55's are in the queue - you decline... after 2-3 pop you can see the names of non 55 players and whisp them, explaining that if they play with 55's they get much less XP. Everyone usually agrees to create a premade group of non 55's and you can do the FP for full XP. Other option you LFG on the fleet for the same level of people (+-1/2 level) you are for maximum XP benefit.

I have the same problem. The tooltip says in red: to RE I would need Armormech 440, The thing is, I have 450, it just doesn't seem to register it. Another, even bigger bug is, that some item says I need Armormech 440 (this is in white so accepts my level 450), but I also need ADVANCED SYNTHWEAVING !?!??
