Well just go there and let other stay in fleets if they want to. You gave gtn, mailboxes, shops and so on on capitals as well.

If you want to hang out on the capital world, you're free to do so. I'm sure I'm not the only person who doesn't want to page through thirty-five "LF FRIENDS OF OLD" or "LF FACE MERCHANTS" to say nothing of "how do I get my ship" or "how do I get a speeder" x 30 to find the one person looking for Lost Island or for a pug op.
If that's the whole issue you have, then here the simple solution, make it an instance like Section X on Belsavis or the Black Hole on Correlia where the head quarters of the factions are, so that would be where the level 50s hang out, so it would have the planetary feel, but would still be apart from the low level questing area.

WOW isn't the only MMO in the World, and you probably never played the vast majority of them. Example ? Ragnarok Online, the Capital was Prontera for ages, expansion after expansion.

It would be better if they just added global chat channels and then added all services to all planets.
Below this is my referral link. If you press it you get free stuff and I get free stuff. This makes you, me....and Bioware happy, but don't let that stop you!

Currently though I stay away from the Fleet like the plague. I am not sure I would even visit it much if I was back home with my DeskTop gaming PC.

I will say that I do like the Planets better than the Fleet, just do to the way they look. It is much more pleasing to hang out at than some small Space Station. I just wish that there was a reason to visit the older lower level planets. The only older planets I do go back to visit now with my Level 50 alt is Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa, and that is just to use the GTN. Other than that, I really do not see any other reason to visit them. I pretty much stay around Belsavis. The only reason I am on Voss is do to the fact that I am finishing my 3rd Chapter.

I really wish that Each Planet had content at All Levels instead of just being Separated by Levels. Maybe in the future they will add New Areas to all of the planets where higher level content could be so that we have a better reason to go back to them.

But unfortunately not the chat.. so if you want to trade/sell to lvl 50s and look for groups to do ops, fp with you have to hang around at the metal circle from outer space... If BW could split the chat into lvl 1-49 and lvl 50 having the capital planet as the main hub could work...

Sometimes people do not think through their opinions beyond, "I would like".
/agree

A lot of people really don't think past their own personal desires.

Now, if they did actually make the capital cities the central hubs, it would change nothing except lengthen the load times for players (compared to fleet) and lag up the capital cities which were actually designed to be low level zones NOT actual central hubs. It's clear from the way they are designed that they were not meant to be hubs. The 50s would still be complaining and the level appropriate characters will be griefed by over-population. Be happy that they have GTNs and personal storage on them. If I am leveling a new character I really don't need to be trying to wade through a hundred level 50s in that little cantina on Coruscant under the Senate complex. The GTN and storage vault area is crowded enough as it is just with level appropriate characters around them.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

If you want to trade/sell to level 50's you could post items on the GTN.

If you want to look for (story mode) ops and flash points, you could use the group finder tool.

Reposting this from earlier in the thread:

I keep seeing this and I'm baffled how you guys come to that conclusion. In WoW, the capital cities and main hubs for each faction are Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Both are in low level zones where new characters have to quest a lot before leveling out and going someplace else.

There is zero issue with level 90 toons causing trouble for low level characters. Even on PvP servers, these zones are faction specific territory, which means lowbies are not flagged and are safe from being griefed.

So, I just don't get where you guys are getting this from.

an yeah it makes a BIG different, we saw, heared and dreamed if playing in Corucsant from a long time and as they announced the release the first thing we thought of is Corucsant, so why would we choose the fleet instead of Corucsant? it doesn't make a difference for you but it does for at least 7 person whom i talked to and met in game and other games.
Thanks for the anecdotes. They mean nothing.
NO one is quitting strictly over the fleet. That would be absurd and if they did, good riddance.

The fleet didn't even exist in early beta but the player base complained there was no central meeting point...

Voila...the fleet. Get over it.

(Now if they moved all the FP and OPs entry points to Coruscant then by all means, move the central point to Coruscant.)
