Yeah sidekick is more in line with bolstering. In Swtor a level 10 gets bolstered to level 54 in pvp instances, not in fps. The scaled instances in lotro and Swtor are kind of similar though. But to bolster mean to change a toons level and or stats to be able to compete with or against a toon of a higher level.

All I know is, if you mention "WoW" in public, you get shunned and girls immediately walk away. Unless they play, in which case you weren't interested to begin with.

Multitudes were let down by their expectations (which in many cases were realistic and valid) and once they moved on SWTOR got a permanent black mark in their book. The game is different now than it was at launch, and taken for what it is, it's a fine themepark game. It can just be a hard journey to that realization, and some may never come to that. Not that mine matters in the grand scheme of things, but "realistic and valid" is an opinion not everyone shares, myself included. Sandboxes died long ago in favor of theme parks. The Twitter generation 140-character attention span plague has seen to that. Hopefully one will eventually rise that players who relish building online kingdoms can call home.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

The opposite person would continue posting on a VIDEO GAME they hate. Well at least we know which category you fall into.

Please guys, has anyone ever seen any MMO community where they didn't hate everything? We are, as a group, the biggest complainers in the gaming world. Let me see if any of you recognize "this guy" in every MMO you've ever played: "I hate our game, it's such a disappointment! I hate your game, lol, what a flop!! I can't wait for the next game, it's going to be so much better than all other games ever!!!! I HATE THIS NEW GAME, I'M GOING BACK TO MY OLD GAME EVEN THOUGH I HATE IT!!!!""
