It is your logic that is flawed. You assume I don't enjoy running it. I generally do.
People can enjoy running the same roads, dancing the same dances, playing the same games over and over again. Not everyone gets bored after the first time through.

And No.... Legacy gear is not just for trading mods to alts. You can do that with the free pilot gear. You don't spend 300,000 credits or more to buy a set of Legacy Armor from reputation vendors just to swap mods out of it.
wait star fighter gear works for mod transfers? awesome

Sometimes I wonder if you even read what you wrote, and what people actually type in reply...

Try again, your replace makes no sense at all.

Your original post you said that you wouldn't bother to run stuff if it wasn't for the BoL gear rewards. This says that the content itself isn't compelling.

Let me help you out here, reread the above, which you posted...

Again, bad logic on your part. It's not that I don't enjoy it, that's not why I would not otherwise run it.
It's that I enjoy doing other things more. Even among the things you enjoy doing, you gotta prioritize. Content can be compelling but other content can be more compelling.

I like just about all the PvE content I've done, and a lot of the PvP. But I like some more than others, and some of it is better at accomplishing certain objectives (such as raising money for GSH & GFS, or getting geared up) than others. My objectives change over time, so what I tend to run changes over time as well.

Perhaps that's something those who constantly complain about the game may not be able to understand.

Me neither...

Good looking legacy armor is rare.
I have 22 Chars and have entire sets lv20-lv55 augmented and ready for all 4 attibutes, so used som 30 or so of them sets as My permanent level up kits.

So yes i used all of the imperial covert pilot sets for this occasion, and it saved me alot of cash on leveling, both on char and companions.

You want Legacy gear, go out and grind for it. Heck, geting BtL the only reason I my endgame toons do Bounties or the Gree event, without that motivation I think a lot of people wouldn't run that content. For example, I didn't do much in the Rakghoul tunnels this time because I have Legend status and 1.5 stacks of unused DNA canisters already.

There's nice variety added recently: the two Tattered gear sets, the Kingpin gear, and the BBA gears, for example. Not perfect, but with those and Voss, CZ, Gree, Makeb, Oricon, GSI, and the free GSF sets (there's about 2 dozen distinct BtL sets, counting Gree as only 1 and not counting the class-specific stuff) you can put together some serviceable looks. The new Manaan stuff may have possibilities too depending on how it dyes.

BtL armor is a prize that encourages people to play the content
, and BW knows that. And having people play the content is more important to the long-term survival of the game than CM armor sales are.
I already said, there's only 2 sets I would feel comfortable and proud to wear on my Mercenary/Trooper. That being Dread Host and Section Guardian. But everyday that goes by, I feel less proud to wear that same old armor set.

They design tons of armor for the Cartel Market, but I hardly buy any of it because it's not Legacy bound.
Looking for a good woman. Able to clean, cook, sew, catch bait, and clean fish. Must have boat and motor.
((Please send picture of boat and motor))

Since anything on the CM can be unlocked in Collections, it will most likely never be Legacy bound. It makes little sense for them to change this as it takes away part of their income from legacy unlocks in Collections and you can access it with all characters anyway due to this mechanic. Just not move the same armor pieces between your characters.

This is how I feel about grinding for credits. Some days I am willing to do so to get what I want. Other days, I come to SWTOR to play a game, not work. I get plenty of work at my RL job already.
