I already group with lower leveled players and absolutely crush the opposition. Makes me feel genuinely heroic. Does Superman magically become much weaker because he's helping Batman fight crime? Heck no! This system has obvious flaws that just create more inconsistencies between character power and story power, which should be the same, and the magical sword of epicness will never be a butter knife, no matter where the wielder is.
Welcome to PvP, where it's socially acceptable for 40 year old geeks to beat up 12 year old boys.

hilarious. You people are still paying subscriptions to be treated like this?
Yeah I can never figure out people like this...

You go to most any forum and see that people are complaining CONSTANTLY! This whole "being treated like this" crap is ridiculous...

People want new features and people complain that they aren't already implemented,
People want more updates on these features and people complain that they don't get immediate responses,
People want to know precisely when a new feature will be implemented and complain when they don't get a date.

all you have to do is follow the "dev tracker" to see they they are responding to what the players are asking and responding whether or not something is in the works... They are doing weekly Q&A on some of the questions. They don't have the time to answer every single questions out of the HUNDREDS that are posted. Let's stop pretending that they aren't making an effort because we enjoy wallowing in the drama...

0.o

I don't get why you would even post this?

If nobody in your guild is below 50, does that mean they will never roll an alt?
Does your guild not allow players that are below 50?

If this topic is irrelevant to you, why are you in here telling us it's irrelevant to you?

Is this your first attempt at trolling?

Funny, they dont have time to spend on the forums, but many MANY smaller MMOs find plenty of time to get on the forums and talk to their players.

To the OP, when I saw, o yeah, this is coming -- someday., i pretty much assume its going to be MONTHS if not half a year, before we see any progress on this.

Soon means month, so someday must be code for longer then a couple months.

Time frame is irrelevant to the discussion. The point is that it is coming.

I run people through dungeons like the foundry et al. regularly and apparently our respective definitions of the word heroic are not consistent. As it is now the process is essentially me killing everything and everyone else playing catch up and looting. Heroic to me is actively succeeding as an interdependently cohesive group with the risk of failure being possible, and not the simple exercise of killing grayed out npcs with little to no effort.

So did you not bother to read what I posted?

The part about weekly Q&A sessions with the players and the "Dev Tracker"? They ARE spending time on the forums and they ARE talking to the players.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if SWTOR goes f2p long before we get this feature.
