So what's the habit? Adding an item and having people not have the wherewithal to read the description first so they go pear shaped because what they assumed was wrong. That isn't Biowares fault. That is the fault of the dink who assumed it to be something it was never advertised as.
careful...apparently, regardless of your stance on BioWare and this game or what Bio has done/said/etc...if you call these whiners out on their stupid purchase habit of buying before reading...you're part of the "BioWare Defense"

intelligent, no?

What if they left the portable chair in and just increased the timer on it to like, 5-10 minutes with no or little cooldown?

From the screenshot, I believed it would be a kind of "hover chair" like the floating imperial throne or the floating meditation ... thing ...

Strange - so now it's something similar to the Kolo Chamber and the Carbonite Chamber (which I both never got, by the way; they appear to be *extremely* rare, as i never see them on the Galactic Trade Market as well) ?

However, anyone should have been careful after reading these exact words : "relaxation unit". It doesn not read like a "hovering stool" at all !

People who are not sensitive enough towards words are probably likely to be disappointed (and yes, I learned it the hard way, too).

The Carbonite Chamber is not rare at all.
It's available for direct purchase from the CM for 480cc. You can't find it in Cartel Packs.
But yes, they are similar to what the new chair does.

Chair is a regen item, sure, but an interesting proposal came from this - making regen animation last much longer (10+ minutes) while keeping their regen levels, so that you are healed in 10 seconds, but you can still float in kolto, be frozen in carbonite, or lounge in your chair for another 10+ minutes. It would also be great to visibly mark you as AFK

I don't know what the issue is. The Jedi Defender ship as chairs you can sit in, why don't you guys roll a Jedi and bring your rp guild into one.


There, I just solved your chair problem.

With "rare" I mean that i never see people using both - which led me to the conclusion that relatively few people actually have them.

You're starting to sound like you're on the payroll.

I don't role play here, so I don't give a crap about the chair for myself, but I feel badly about the people who have been requesting this. Honestly, a chair? What else could it be used for. This is simply stupid. You SIT in chairs, you don't regen in them. That's why we have kolto tanks and what not.

In general this game has lately been about pumping people up and getting them excited and then its a huge let down in one way or another...for me it was that crap with the makeover station...I paid to get access to all the things I could change, and then learn I have to PAY MORE to implement. It's stupid. It's greedy, and its a shtty way to treat the people that are loyally supporting this with their subs and CC...people like me.

Give the Roleplayers the ability to sit the fck down. Honeslty, how hard can that be? Charge them 5 CC per hour for sitting in the chair, that'll make it extra special. You can sit and get scrwed at the same time.
