This is all I would be in favor of in terms of Legacy comms.

Daily / Black Hole / etc comms should *never* be allowed to be transferred across our Legacy. You have 1,000 on one toon, great, maybe play your other ones for a change. Or save them for future items that I'm sure they'll release.

If they *were* to be made Legacy, then the next request would be for them to be tradeable to anyone, and then finally sellable on the GTN. Give a mouse a cookie and he'll want a glass of milk.
Here's my referral link if you want your 7 days and free transfer:

Remove Datacrons from Legacy and give them a meaningful % boost that scales with level.

It is so sad watching people use legacy as a means to not play this game..
Yep. I've said before "where does it end?" Just have a Legacy perk that you can get that just says "YOU WIN" when you load the game and then shuts itself down.

What is wrong is that your alt didn't have to play the game to earn the gear or the comms.. That is the issue.. Legacy requests like this do nothing but take away the need to play the game.. It is like making the datacrons legacy because people don't want to put forth the effort to actually get them... So they just want the bonus they provide without actually doing anything to get it... You just want the gear for an alt, without actually doing anything to get it..

I mean it isn't like it is so easy to gear characters.. Just 1 run through EV SM, KP SM, EC SM, and you will most likely be completely geared in Rakata.. My guild doesn't all the time.. Whenever we have a new 50 either joint the guild or a new alt, we run some gear runs.. We have a surplus of rakata implants in our guild bank.. They can be fully geared in a single night.. The raids are so short too..

It is like the post above said... It seems to use that this legacy things is just going to lead to the telling us 'YOU WIN!!'.. Then just shutting off.. There is nothing to do cause the legacy does it all..

While it is such a good idea and all, I would have to agree with everyone that only sub-50 comms be legacy bound.

My reason why is this: Recently, my guild had to pug a EV NiM and needed a healer, the GM gets one who says they are in all 63's. We say, "Ok cool!" ... WORST. HEALER. EVER. Looking at his quests ... No SM/HM OF ANYTHING done ... Did aoe puddle then ran around in circles. (No one even noticed ONE normal heal from him outside of the aoe which was like 30 meters from the boss when we were grouping up under the boss.

Just because you have the gear doesn't mean you can play the class, and having BH comms legacy bound will just worsen this because people will use one toon to grind out comms then try to do the hardest content.

Good idea in theory.

I agree! Make those planet commendations legacy bound! I'm sitting on a bunch of commendations on my first 50 I never used because, well, it was my first 50 and I never thought much on it. Also my other characters have passed up certain planets items and the comms could be useful to my other characters, and it wouldn't really make that big of a difference.

The thing is just because you played a lot one character and got lots of comms doesn't mean you'll play as well another character. You could be great with a sniper and bad or just average with a sentinel. The simple fact there's different skills induces that you are probably reacting faster on the character you play the most. You are probably using your defensive cooldowns better with the character you have the most experience.

That's why many people are not really happy with things that shortens the time spent learning your new class.

As for why it matters to other people, how it affects others negatively, well, it's quite simple. Lots of contents is made for group, thus people prefer to play with experienced people. There's already a good chunk of people that reach 50 without really understanding their class, if you make it easier to enter elder content, there will be more players with less experience with their class doing HMs.

IF and only IF, GUILDs did not existed on this game, it would make solid argument what u saying.... but GUILDs do exist so i can't agree with u.
