I PvP pretty much exclusively as well, but it is entirely possible to do the Ilum dailies, minus the Heroic, in between queues. Really, if all you're doing is sitting on the fleet between queues, you're just not managing your play time very well.

1.3 is a very minor content update, a LFG tool thats extremely limited and broken, more bugs and a huge money sink.

good luck getting those 6 month subs to resubscribe.
Thanks for the well wishes, and I've used it several times since launch and Group Finder has been freakin great so far.

I'm pretty upset about the wonky graphic issues that further annoy me in PVP, but that's a different forum topic....And maybe today's patch solved that.

Yeah, it kinda sucked when I too realized I didn't read the tooltips entirely either... but my main is all set for the first expansion... Now to choose which one of my alts gets to be the lucky one to level quicker and have speeders sooner.

It is by no means FREE to get to legacy level 15 or 20 and it certainly doesn't happen over night. They need to reduce the costs by 95% or more. Period, end of story.

Respec costs are insane
Mod removal prices are insane
Gear repair prices are insane

How many credit sinks can there be in this game? It's way past the point of being un-fun...
Respec costs are high, if you do it 8+ times a week
Mod removal costs are high, even with the reduction, but not "insane"
Gear repair prices are high, if you die too much...there's an easy fix for that.

With daily quests and weekly pve/pvp quests, credit generation is absurdly easy, if there weren't credit sinks the economic bloat would choke the GTN with overpriced gear and materials. You can do the BH daily quests in under an hour, that will give you anywhere from 65-100k depending on the RNG. If you do all of the daily quests you can easily clear 250k at minimum per day, which adds up extremely fast. This doesn't even take into account whether you craft anything to sell on the GTN or not.

Instead of the current system, what about a system where you have to buy the option for individual chars, or to all the chars in your legacy. The 2 things shouldnt stack. The price for the legacy wide things price, could be equal to maybe 4 chars, in the character perks. F.x i might buy so i get an increased chance to crafting/an augment slot will appear, to all my chars. But only buy an boost to xp gain on 2 chars.

This aint "Star" Wars" it's "Spend" Wars. I've played a lot of MMOs starting in 1999 but this game is easily the biggest money sink I've seen.

If they gave you an choice of single character or legacy-wide, then the legacy-wide rice needs to be 8x the single character price. Otherwise it would be stupid to purchase single character versions.

depends on the number of chars you have. it should be so its cheaper to buy for all, if you have past a certain number of chars. f.x 5 chars

People in this thread are over-reacting. You don't need xp boost in normal play. You need them for leveling alts. If you wanted them to be global unlocks the price would be about 8 times higher then they are right now.

The rest of the stuff is mainly convenience items put in place to make it easier for you while you play. In fact you end up paying less with this set-up because you only need to pay for the perks you intend to use on each character.

im seriously tired of people saying this BS. Seriously, who the ****s says it would have to be aobut 8 times more expencive... it could be 4. Then those that have more will save some creds, and the same for those that have less, if you had both options.
