1. Loot and Gear drops during 8 and 16ppl ops/raids, I don't feel that this is fair or practical, we often get 4 drops of the same gear i.e. 4 commando rakata chest pieces, when we only have one commando on board. Or worse still we get nothing but commando drops all through the raid. Perhaps this could be more practical, 1 piece of gear for each class that is on the raid, schematics we could use because there is nothing worse than a schematic drop for a craft that no one on the raid has.

2. I would love to change my characters hair style and colour, not change the character just the look from time to time.

3. A speeder design competition, to design a speeder that can be used in game

1. Same sex romance/flirt options (Come on, you're BIOWARE! - Don't diminish yourselves )
2. Higher resolution textures - So ones character doesn't go all fuzzy from the neck down.
3. Subsequently wishing EA gives BW the funds and freedom to really show us their skills in the evolution of SWTOR

(1) Dual spec.

(2) MEANINGFUL world PvP. Something like the RvR in Dark age of Camelot would be sweet.

(3) A major reduction or even outright elimination of the insane money sinks. C'mon EAware, NOTHING should cost MILLIONS of credits to purchase!

1.) PVP - PVP grind sucks! Need to change how we are grouped. Quing solo shouldn't mean your que'd with a bunch of other solos against a Preformed Rated group that will kick butt. Maybe add cross server PVP so those in your level will be matched against you and Rated teams will get more matches.

2.) More custom gear. - The gear should stay the same no mater who is wearing it. So the Smugglers Jacket looks the same on a Jedi as it does on a Smuggler.

3.) More Crafting Skills - adding a 4th skill slot that you can use another crafting skill or being able to craft items with expertise on them.

I agree with your "guilds vs pug" idea. I think there are some great solutions to this. But slowing down guilds is not one of them. I have suggested a buff for pug, in game vocal chat for pug, and just awareness that you are playing a guild. For example you should be told in beg of the game to get it together! Lol "you are playing 4 guild members! or 8 guild members" so at least you are ready.

But also the grind in PvP is nothing compared to PvE. I get so exhausted getting lost, waiting for people to get in a FP etc. while doing PvE that I would never ever play if it wasn't for PvP,

All I'm trying to say is take the word "grind" out of there. Getting into a match instantly is far from a grind in comparison.

1) Character Gear customization tab like in DCUO
2) Class story extra content and companion conversations (e.g. When i dumped Jaesa for Vette, Jaesa promised revenge. Wheres the revenge?)
3)Scale pvp down massively
4)Reduce mod pull costs dramatically (500k is far too much but i understand the need to have it)
5)Character customization in game (Barber shop, change facial details) Race change wouldn't be practical however
6)More FPs with a good story and full of conversations and LS/DS choices and less concentrating on combat

I know it's more than three things but there's just so much that can make this game better

PvP:
1): RvR or something that faction based pvp on a much larger scale than 8v8.
2) Different ways to gain PvP gear in the future other than Warzones. Wouldn't mind see a PvP based Operation.
3) Not taking a Month+ to get gear for one toon. I like to multiple toons, cuz I get bored after awhile playing the same toon over and over again. (Big reason why some of my friends left the game, because they don't have the time to spend a month plus to grind of gear)

PvE:
1): Change the loot drop options for Operations, it's not really fair running multiple Operations and not getting a gear piece (Yes random rolls do not always work.)
2): I would like to see level 50 heroics from the other plaents, wouldn't mind redoing some of the old Heroics for daily comms.
3): Same as PvP 3.

Space:
1): Open World Space and combat. I would like to see space become more sandbox, guild ships, fleets, stations, etc..
2): More ship customization, changing the color of laser fire, different ships.
3): Space PvP!

Generic/Crafting:
1): Better crafting system, able to craft unique gear styles, color, able to craft PvP armor, mods, and enchantments.
2): Sort of like the one above or another option, but able to change the color of my armor set, or to dye it.
3): Remove cost of ripping out mods from gear.

Guild:
1): More guild systems, logos, etc... Guilds needs to be more important in the game or the player base will just slowly die. Like it already is.
2): Guild armor sets or colors.
3): Guild ships, or housing.

Classes:
1): Dual Spec, There are times I have to respec to switch from my dps build to my healing build. Would like to do that without paying a high fee.
2): No level advancement beyond 50. Rather see horizontal advancement. Classes become more and more imbalanced, as you add more skills and levels.
3): Would like to see an alt. skill system at 50 for a different way to advance our characters.

Legacy:
1): Legacy Bank, to say credits and items across my character easier than having to keep mailing credits between toons.
2): More legacy unlocks past 25
3): Legacy shares codex entries and datacrons.

1. companions - have them play different roles. blizz can heal and kaliyo can dps full time.
2. cooler animations for Vanguard dps. stockstrike sounds like someone squishing a soda can but rocket punch sounds like the old (adam west) batman series.
3. the ability to pick one companion and follow their story. someone posted earlier about only being able to follow the start comp story line. doctor lokin looks like hes hiding something and i wanna know.

Top 3:

1. GOOD Open World PvP, preferably Warhammer RvR-style. Would be great to have it across multiple planets, and have a 'Galactic Control' system where your faction gets rewarded depending on how much of the galaxy you control. (This would require some kind of population balance system though, where the underdogs get a buff on each planet with an adjustable strength depending on the amount of enemies they are facing.)

2. Space Exploration and Space PvP.

3. Improved Achievement System, which lets you browse all achievements in the game and see the requirements for completing them as well as potential rewards (such as speeders, pets, titles etc.)



Other stuff:

More playable species such as Nautolans and Togruta.

Chat Bubles.

Day/Night Cycles.

Podracing/Swoopracing.

Threatmeter (convenience) and Damage/Healingmeter (convenience and more fun gameplay)

Customizable Ships, interiors and exteriors to really make it feel unique and personal.

Dual Speccing.

Dye System.

  1. facelift on the republic fleet. Plants, holotrees, kiosk for the tradeskill vendor... etc. Some life!
  2. Use your planets! They are so good, shame that after a few level there's no reason to go back. Daily quests, and scenarios, high level areas on.
  3. Spaceports... the way Coruscant or Dromund Kaas was done right. No elevators and broken up place. Why is it different on Taris or Tatooine?
YES.
YES.
AND YES.

This is brilliant man.

1. make Typhon/korraban MEAN something at high level, not just a hub for low levels
