I really don't get why people post bad information without any kind of proof. It just makes them look stupid.

I (hope) doubt this is real. OP, why don't you provide source? Just trolling, then?
From what I've seen recently in this General (trolls) Discussion forum, very few people actually care about story and it's mostly filled with PVPtards trying to ruin one good story based MMO...

What makes them look like total morons, though, is derailing their thread in their own OP.
Can we even be sure that the OP says what it did when the thread was opened? It certainly wouldn't be the first time that it's not.

Thanks for the tip though, and I can understand why they're pretty adamant about Species instead of race. Race would be an offshoot of the same species, such as, simply for example, Japanese and Chinese. Meanwhile, Cathar and Human would be completely different.

Here is the "proof" for a playable sarlacc
Can we now discuss how awesome it would be to play a sarlacc?

It's not any worse than Ewoks in this timeframe. Yeah, yeah, they made up some garbage backstory. If it were ONE Ewok, maybe. But it seems like every time I go to fleet, there are dozens of the tasty little furballs just waiting to be skewered with a spit, slathered in BBQ sauce, and rotated ever so slowly over an open fire.

Interesting doesn't necessarily have to be opposed to "attractive" or "appealing", though. I don't see Kel Dor ever making in as a playable species, but I do see Nautolan, or Bothan, or other species that are both interesting and unique appearance-wise, but still aesthetically pleasing. Plus, as you mentioned, there are technical reasons (limitations?) that cause the devs to prefer humanoid critters.

And it was a huge, HUGE disappointment that a game with so many interesting and strange races in the available lore decided to go down the "differently coloured humans" route. Weequay, Nikto... all that would've been great. I would've loved to be able to play an Ithorian... maybe a Selkath, a Quarren. Hell, even a Gungan would be more interesting than what they have. -_-
I think a lot of people feel this way, myself included. The issue for species that can't or don't speak basic is that suddenly the player character is the special snowflake who DOES not only speak basic, but does so flawlessly and fluently despite possible biological impediments that favor their native tongue. It's either that, or stick in the generic race appropriate voice files for huttese--you know, the same 5 or 6 lines repeated over and over and over again for literally everything by every Rodian, Nikto, and almost every Twi'lek NPC in the game. Players would get insanely bored with it and complain incessantly. It would likely even put a damper on cartel market purchases for their respective race unlocks.

We don't have non-humanoid playable races for this reason. Technical limitations and the average player attention span preclude races like Ithorians and Selkath.

Not me. I got nothing against it being added, but a new race doesn't change ANYTHING for me. The quests are all still exactly the same...that's as cosmetic as it gets - I don't get all giddy when they announce new armor in the CM, this of the same vanity imo.
All warfare is based on deception • If his forces are united, separate them • If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near • A leader leads by example not by force

I couldn't care less if they added or never added a new species. I won't pay the 1800 cartel coins for one, no matter what species it is.
