Anyone who is as annoyed as i am with the terrible choice of Cathar as the new playable race, please write the names of your top 10 species that you think would have been better choices, and perhaps with a little luck the right people will take notice and help ensure garbage like this doesnt happen again. Heres mine:

1.Wookiee, 2.Droid, 3.Mon Calamari, 4.Jawa, 5.Rodian, 6.Sullustan, 7.Trandoshan, 8.Quarren, 9.Duros, 10.Nogrhi

I understand some people like Cathar, and actually requested them, but this thread is more for those who didnt, and would like to throw other ideas out there.

You do realize that adding "Droid" as a race would involve a ton of reworking for PvP, right?
Disable Droid now becomes useful in PvP, giving Sentinels a mez. It also negates the In-Stealth Mez moves of Scoundrel and Shadow. One of the great things about this game is that race is purely aesthetic. Adding Droid as a playable race would change that.

EDIT: I will say, I would like to see Kaleesh playable at some point.

But you can be a thundercat! You aren't excited about that?
The best MMO I have played in a long time. Not perfect but pretty close to it.

I understand that itd b tough, am just illustrating that there are alot of other choices that would have been better, especially considering the fact that fans that remain loyal to the game are more star wars fans than mmo fans, they need to keep that in mind by involving races that are acually portarayed as cool in the more popular novels and original trilogy, oversized pussycats? cmon man, they gotta try harder than that.

Agreed.
If you're looking for cool, small species, I'd go with Xexto. Long neck, four arms, stout and short, they'd be very cool without being...lame.

Togruta !!!!

One of the most beautiful species ever created

I would pay 50 euros to unlock that, perhaps even more
