You remove these items because they are detrimental to others gameplay...
But you release the Rakghoul Plague... Something that can be forced onto other players, and NOT as easy to end by those who received the "gift."

Yeah. Makes sense to me... :-/

You all should have used your party bombs more wisely. You ended up getting all the non-special butterflies who don't roleplay annoyed.

In a more serious note, how can this be a surprise lol? Annoying item is annoying and it will eventually be removed, because annoying others can be ultimately construed as harassing. Welcome to Corporate Country.
If we insist in calling ourselves casual players, we need to accept that there is a downside to it: Hardcore players will always look cooler, be stronger, play better and in general win more often than we do

While they are at it might as well remove the human and zabrak racials since they make my char move to. Only reason to have this removed is if it was freezing people on test as they say it was. Otherwise why have the racials that do same thing and the rakghoul virus blowing people up be ok.

This. You can also remove players from open area, because sometimes they mess with my mob spawn when soloing. And also remove them from the fleet, sometimes I loose some FPS.
This is a MMO game, if you don't want social interaction of any sort, you should stay in your cave playing some solo game.

There were nothing wrong about social X items, rally and zabrak racial stuff. Hell, it can even be FUN sometimes !

Also, you were able to break the forced dance animation. Just sit, use a mount.... it was not so hard.

They should change /ignore to /remove player. I can't stand them.

Its "my" avatar. I don't want anyone else controlling it.
No, it doesn't cost me anything but annoyance, but why should I get annoyed, when "you" spam it outside of a RP / cantina event?

It is funny that they say detrimental to other people's play. I have thrown down the party bomb and you can run straight through it without slowing down or even dancing. Half the time people would stop to see what it is and the auto dance function didn't work and they would just stand there. So it was fairly easy to make yourself not dance and they say that is detrimental, but with the Rally Human Racial move you can't stop yourself from cheering at all. I am just amazed bby how bioware thinks one thing is detrimental to others gameplay when there are other items in the game that are the same thing but not detrimental to others somehow.

For the people who dislike the party bomb and party instigator, do you also hate the Rally move and the Zabrak Racial move?

Because ignorant RP'ers complained about immersion and they didn't take a second thought on it. Doublelaser is nowhere near worth the time you can buy it for 150k anyways...They took away any benefit from having social X for the whim of immersion needing Role playing.
Aww, so does this mean that the deal that we just made behind their backs that doesnt really exist but it does but to them it doesn't, doesn't actually exist now?
