Hi Bioware and the rest of the swtor community

When ranked warzones are deployed will it be possible to see the matches from a spectator mode? Not like following a specific player, but watching the match from above?

Sometimes in operations there is a schematic drop that we roll for randomly...and say i get a sythweaving schem and I'm a armormech the schem is BOP...can you possibly make that bound to legacy so i can give it to another on of my characters?

Will Resolve System be subject of any changes in future (such as adding roots to it) or you're comfortable with how the system is working atm?

it was announced prior to launch that same-sex companion relationships were forthcoming. Can you give us an update on where we are with this particular feature?

Currently it's hard to distinguish a heroic and a normal mission being given by an NPC until after being given it or accepting it. To help keep track of missions, could a different color be used ot denote the mission as being a heroic? For example, whilst normal quests have the usual yellow triangle symbol, for heroics it could be blue. Also to help remember whether a player has completed that heroic before, a green symbol could be placed above the NPC.

then head to this thread and discuss, list and vote which you'd like to see and explore in the game:

Is there any practical reason why Assassins/Sages are being penalized for using Electrostaves currently? Using one locks you out of some of your key abilities (like your backstab and saber forms). It seems odd because Warriors/Knights can use vibroswords without penalty (all of their skills can be used), but Assassins/Sages can't do the same with their non-lightsaber weapon.

Are there any plans to steamline travel times in the game?

For instance, wouldn't it be better to be given the option to go to quick travel points when you exit your ship (assuming you have discovered them), instead of having to keep going through the orbital stations after you have completed quests.

Can you give us more detail on how "Looking for group" system works?

My concern is seeing low geared players queing up for hard modes and handicapping the rest of the party because they want to be carried and skip normal mode. I've seen this happen so many times in other MMOs and it is not fun wiping constantly because someone did not want to gear up properly.

Can you tell us if the system will do a gear check or overall rating check or are you going to let fresh 50s run around in hardmode with level 40 green gear from LFG ques?

Is there any news about a possible MAC game client?

I heard this was considered and maybe people are working in the background on it. I would really love to run one and don't be dependent on bootcamp.
