Also guys not everyone sits in fleet and idles. A lot of us avoid fleet unless we have to go there. So saying there is only 30 people in fleet means nothing. Why would people just sit in fleet and not be playing the game?

Exactly. It should be easier to balance balance a game with classes that are not fractionally restricted. Yet it has not worked for titles that utilize such a system. If it does work for them, it definitely won't work for SWTOR.

Nice to see it's happening unfortunately it may be to late for some... I've been on the deadweight since release and have watched it get worse and worse to the point where the most active players I know of aren't even on anymore.... something to look forward to I suppose but another month of this and I can't say I'll be surprised if the population on fleet during peek times is... 0

you can just as easily search 50 and see the faction population... no need to nitpick you know as well as everyone this has been an ongoing issue since about a month after release

The game is a PvE game with PvP features included. NOT a PvP game.

In MMOs, this makes a large difference, and frankly most avid PvPers don't stick with a PvE MMO with PvP features. They get pissed (they are a notoriously impatient and demanding segment of the comunity) and leave, because it's not actually what they want.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

Makes perfect sense to me. Can anyone explain why this isn't a logical solution? Gaming is fun, you'll have fun when you re-roll as you did when you started the game the first time. Just ignore the things in your bank, they are ultimately worthless anyway...
re-roll,what are you smoking? many of us have several lvl 50s on these dead servers,and your answer is to re-roll. and when free transfers come around,there is no guarantee we will be able to move our toons to the new server weve re-rolled on. re-rolling is not an option,i wish you guys would stop suggesting this! by the way,going thru the entire story again for multiple toons is not fun,it actually pretty boring.

This is generally true. An argument can be made that SWTOR is actually a PvPvE game, due to its emphasis on factional conflict and story, but that type of game doesn't really appeal to the hardcore PvP element, either.

The fact remains that it is an option, one a large number of players in the community have made use of. You just don't care to.

So let me get this straight. You think playing the game is boring? How long could it possibly take to re-roll and get everything back? A month maybe less if you play a lot? Whats the big deal?
