Their operations have always revolved around some type of story in the game.

KP/EV was hutts and dread masters the beginning.
EC was introducing Kephess working for the dread masters.
TFB was helping out the gree after the Chevin event came out.
SnV and TC was dealing with the hutts and the cartel after Makeb came out.
DF and DP was dealing with the dread masters themselves after Oricon came out.
ToS and Rav was after dealing with revanites in the game and smacking down Revan after Shadow of Revan came out.
Monolith was after dealing with p1 and p2 of Ziost.

Xeno deals with the gree event.
Eyeless deals with the Rakghoul plague.

Untitled new operation(s) will more than likely come out after we've dealt with Chapters 1-16 of KotFE.
You're missing a key piece of information in your rambling here. All of those launched along with the content. Rav/ToS didn't come out months after 3.0 dropped. SnV came out with RotHC in 2.0. DP/DF dropped along with 2.4 (Oricon update). The event ops bosses were available when the events first launched.

So back in the day when we finished the story in 2 hours, we could do the operations right away. Waiting until the end of September when it's already been a year since Rav/Tos is pretty ridiculous. And that's in the crazy world where they can develop an operation in <9 months seeing as they don't even have any current information to provide on PvE content.

I think you severely misunderstood the position of the raiding community asking for new content and how it has previously been provided in patches.

No, I didn't miss anything. I know what I'm talking about. And I'm part of the raiding community too, I just found other things to do while I'm waiting.

As for what you said: I KNOW the operations came out at the same time. BUT, those operations weren't part of expansions/stories that were being trickled out each month. They gave you ALL of Makeb. They gave you ALL of Oricon. They gave you ALL of Shadow of Revan. Hell, Ziost you only had to wait, what, a week? Maybe two? KotFE is DIFFERENT. You have to basically wait until February for chapter 10 OF 16. Then it's March chap 11, April chap 12, May Chap 13, June chap 14, July chap 15, and August chap 16.

THIS is where I'm getting my information.

Who knows, maybe we'll get an operation in February. Or, it may well be August. The point is, KotFE is staggered releases, the other expansions with accompanying operations were not.

Not quite? SoR was technically staggered, Ziost came halfway through the expansion. RotHC was staggered, Oricon came out halfway through the expansion. Yet those still launched with operations to tie the story together until the next portion of the expansion. No reason there couldn't have been an Alliance based operation released now and the inevitable one where you kill Aracann 9 months later.

Story is not an excuse for a lack of raid content. This is just a lack of resources. They funneled everything they had into revamping existing content for 65 and opted not to obtain additional resources to create the new content as well. Now they don't even have an update on PvE, so I seriously doubt your expectation that the end of the chapters will bring an operation at this point. 2017 may have one, it may not.

We do have an update on PvE, just not Operations. Operations are not the full extent of PvE.

I think it was fairly clear we were discussing group content.

People are interesting, they can be presented with piles and piles of evidence, and simply decide not to believe it because they don't "want to". You don't "want to", so you don't. Nothing will change your mind, regardless of the "proof", you'll just deny it anyway.

Have a nice day.
No evidence != piles of evidence.

You spend so much time posting replies to me when you could simply have quoted the posts that support your accusation of people wanting even people who are innocent and just bought things from the GTN punished.

One would think quoting those posts would be simpler than continuing to troll everyone as you are doing ...

Is this being considered an offense that would receive a punishment of removal of all equipped gear and a full credit account wipe no matter how much the person had?

I'm asking this because a guildy who always is very active at finding bargains at the GTN got stripped of all gear and over 200 million credits.

If this is being considered an offense than how far can we go when we see low prices, what are the bounderies we need to adhere? In my personal case for example I always buy up items that are priced much to low. I kinda don't want to run the risk of accidentally getting involved into something that turned out to be an exploit.
Odds are the guildy was a "I didn't cheat honest guys yet they did this to me!" when in fact he may have indeed cheated.
That's the thing with cheats, they often won't admit then fight vehemently to defend their non existent innocence.
