You'll loose the setbonusses for some of the older sets, but with some further itemization that isn't really a big problem.

For pre-50 gear: use the comms for mods and simply mail the mods. They're BOE. Or spend the comms on Prototype boxes and hope something for the right class comes out.
Even better: Take free Tionese gear, hollow it out, insert 61/63 plates, mods and enhancements.

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.
Generally, you shouldn't be pugging HM EC/HM TFB and up. If you keep it in the guild, a) you can enforce whatever norms you want and b) you can be sure that players have adequate experience with a character before that character is allowed on a progression team.

You are again missing the issue.. Your alt is a different character.. As such it needs to do the same things your main does to get gear and loot.. Using your logic, questing can be made legacy.. Why should I ever level a character again?? I am the same player?? Where does it end?? It is irrelvent that you are the same player.. The character is different..

It is a new adventure.. Why make an alt in the first place if you are not going to play them??

I can live with pre lvl 50 comms being legacy.. I can also live with them being refundable to higher level comms.. They were in the beta.. I don't know why thy turned that off..

What it does to me is irrelevent.. What you are asking for largly breaks the game and defeats the purpose of playing it.. If you don't want to play.. Fine.. Don't.. That is your right.. But asking for things that allows people to not play the game is just wrong in my view.. Part of the experience of an alt is gearing them.. If you don't want to gear them, then don't roll an alt..

The only perk that an alt should get from a high level main is credits.. Beyond that, every alt needs to earn their own stats.. They are after all individual characters.. Just because the player is the same doesn't mean you don't have to play them..

I actually did mention it.. I said it was irrelevent..

You have yet to give a logical reason as to why stuff should be made legacy..

If you level player A... Then create player B.. Why is player B entitled to anything Player A earned?? Where is it said that all your alts are entitled to what your main character has earned?? I can't think of a single reason why an alt should be automatically entitled to things that your main earned.. Other than credits, there is nothing that an alt is entitled to.. Nothing..

Well actually I have had 8 50s.Deleted 2 because of consolidation.I have done 6 stories.Two twice.Because I wanted to run the different advance to see how they did.The last 2 for the story are in act 3.There is this assumption that because you get the comms you wont play your class as much.Maybe some folks but decisions shouldn't be made because of that.I have 21 chrs now since last patch.My last chrs will be healers.Why because I have fun actually playing the game.Since I pay my sub I going to do it that way.I still do most of the bonus quest and side quest.That is my decision.The comms I earned I should be able to give to my other chrs.No one else earned them.I didn't buy or pay my sub for others.The only time i group is for PVP or with one friend.On occasion I do Esse but few others.Unless someone needs help.

Because it is the same account.There is only one player.You are creating different chrs not different players.

yup and then we could also get rid of all that annoying leveling to

I mean instant 50.
Why should we be expected to play the game?

And social is worthless so we should be able to pick light V or Dark V outta the gate and not have to deal with selecting the proper choices

And whats up with Legacy levels?
I need to be legacy 10 to get a legacy ability?
Sounds like grinding
better its just given to us outright

All these rules and design choices that stop me for getting everything and being everything instantly.

What does EA think we are?
Players who want to play the game?
How last decade of them!
Get with the times already!

*and sadly as some people will agree with what I just wrote above let me be clear....IT WAS SARCASM meant to point out at sometime people need to start playing the game and stop asking for the easy mode that currently is TOR to be even more dumbed down*
In regards to lessening F2P and Preferred restrictions
In GAMING, as in LIFE,
You get what you pay for
No game restriction is so dire that $15.00/month will not eliminate it

I agree that comms should be legacy wide. It makes no sense not to add this feature in the game.

Especially because when I level a character I often end up with 5-7 planet comms left once I move on to the higher level planets. Those 5-7 comms? They are wasted and sit there collecting dust, rather than being transferred to a new alt that can benefit.

It doesn't hurt anyone's gameplay to add such a feature, I have read this thread and saw no logical reason not to add this feature. Adding this will just add another fun and useful feature to make the players life just a little bit less of a hassle, so they can go back enjoying the game.

Planetary comms at the very least.

I would hope that any comms would be legacy...
But I would take even just planetary ones
