It doesn't, except in very rare cases, since for obvious reasons they just can't go around replying to each & every "ping" on these forums. ( Plus they are busy doing things like Coding & such ) Your best bet instead is to just send a detailed email to: support@swtor.com

No such code exists, nor will it ever exist for SWTOR, since 1's & 0's cannot detect the depths of human momentary motivations. ( much less whether or not a player crashed into an asteroid or their cat just happened to walk across their keyboard ) Unless maybe both the game has access to player's computer-camerra and/or the player has 'Elon Musk implant' installed

Forums, as antiquated & unnecessary as they supposedly are, still provide fascinating entertainment value to augment the game. Truth is, it's both because they aren't mutually exclusive. A symbiotic relationship, they must be. One problem to remember though: Players can't code & release EXPANSIONS.

As i suspected. Like i said above: We're pretty much arguing the same point in different ways lol ( typical forums ) First: it wasn't just "me" ( and you know it ) . Nice try though. Secondly, you never mentioned JTL in your original comment, so yeah i corrected that omission with additional facts & intel. Does it really matter in 2024 SWTOR? Nope. Game is....well.... obvious is obvious. i already did , but you just don't like/accept them. The links were from BIOWARE themself and i provided them more for other readers, so they would have something way more substantial record-wise to go on besides just "Ramalina said: " i don't expect , nor desire, anything from you, since i don't know you. Once again, i posted the links for OTHER people to reference as context. Your acceptence, or lack thereof, is merely incidental. uh, welcome to basically any company/corporation in existence. i don't work for BioWare ( i only helped them unofficially ) and therefore i don't need to "achieve" anything on SWTOR forums. At this point you're just trying to bait & troll me with your silly goalpost-moving "prove MORE to me!!!" tactics. These forums are pretty barren & bleak these days, but not so much to fall for your tricks. Particularly when i don't even know why/what we're arguing about anymore LOL.

That's not what i meant with my 1st un-edited reply: https://forums.swtor.com/topic/934634-opened-that-ultimate-platinum-pack/?do=findComment&comment=9811088 and you know it. You're just being a typical semantics-slick-contrarian. Read the CONTEXT dude c'mon. Heck, did we want to make money when we first set out to create SWG? Sure. DUH, who doesn't??!! But it wasn't the sole motivator. The profit$ were on equal footing, in tandem, as the goal & pride to make a truly epic, immersive, unique, wondrous GAME. Priority One. If you build it great, they will come. Then, SOE ( tbh just one particular jerk at LucasArts ) lost his way and ruined SWG forever. In any event, now you're sitting here, on your high horse, trying lecture me with "business needs revenue" -----NO ONE IS ARGUING AGAINST THAT !!!!!! The point is: METHODS by which to generate such revenue. Do you really not understand the overall ( greater ) point i'm making here?!?!?!!?!!?!

When did i ever say that? ( hint: i never did and i certainly never used the term "sales platform" LOL. -- i only implied/meant it wasn't using micro-transations bait&switch type tactic ) You might read my posts ( who cares if you do or not ) but you certainly aren't comprehending them. Once again you state the irrelevant obvious lol. So you're either trolling or you're just.....something i can't say on these forums. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GENERATING REVENUE. The specific issue at hand, if you bother to read what i'm typing instead of just reacting like some bot, is HOW companies choose to generate such revenue$. Do they do it out of respect for their playerbase/customers? Or do they disregard such morality and go with pure greed instead? ( Like, for example, do they incorporate such reskins as schematics amidst in-game lore-driven QUESTS for to encourage PLAYER interdependence & immersion? Or do they instead just slap together soulless items x infinity within an outside-the-game App and try to disguise it as "Cartel Market" as if we're all stupid sheep? )

Again, you really do often sound like canned 'ChatGPT' with your seemingly irrelevant replies sometimes. Let me try to speak more slowly for you: There....is....nothing....wrong....with.... $ubscriptions....in....MMOs. ( duh ) Unless....those....$ubscriptions....are....rendered....devalued....because....most...."content"...bait&switches....into....coming....from...micro-transational....exterior....1-click-to-pick....cash-grab....reskin "shops"....meant...for....transient....sheep...who....somehow...believe...."free"-to-play....is....a....thing....worthy....of....human....gamers. If you don't understand this, and don't see how fundamentally detrimental it is ( and has been ) to the pure fabric & spirit of MMOs and Communities, then you are beyond reaching and no forum post will ever convince you. Good day, *beep bope boop* .

uhh that's a separate point and totally irrelevant to what i was replying. Next you're gonna try telling me businesses are about making profits! Cool, thanks for the big insight there. Totally missing the point. smh. Being conditioned to be foolish is no excuse to continue being foolish. Sheep need to wise up before it's too late. And then who will the big gaming Corporations $ucker---errr i mean---cater toward? Friggin' ai ? LOL The real *power*, as always, is with the PEOPLE. The COMMUNITY. If/when they/we so choose to wield such power.

Huh ?! Where'd you read that? The EA Corporate Newsletter? Regardless, it wasn't always that ^ way. The 1st real MMO, Ultima Online, certainly wasn't. Original WoW wasn't. SWG wasn't. ( until way later w/ Trading Card side hustle ) No reason, other than greed, for MMOs in 2024 to be so lazy & predatory. However, as always, it's the ultimate fault in the PLAYERS for putting up with such practice$.

Just for reference & context, LINKS provided below for anyone interested...

Ridiculous & disappointing.

i disagree , but you've made up your mind already and i don't care enough to debate this topic with you. i also honestly have no clue what the heck you're even trying to argue amidst all your ramblings , nor what your point is lol i feel like we're sorta arguing the same point but you're just annoyed because i dared to correct you earlier with facts/links. lol "the trouble" , eh? You mean the big amazing trouble of just simply typing one " i " at the end instead of two? Anyways, i just edited my post and fixed it. ( simple copy/paste error , no big whoop ) But you might want to fix it yourself within your quoted reply of my post, so as to help the Community who might click your quoted version. Assuming your NDA was with previous BioWare and not current 'Broadsword' , i'm sure you'd be just fine. If it was EA though , ehhh that gets a bit tricky. Which is why they should've done what we begged them to do in early alpha: Create/Use a separate SPACE friendly engine for GSF. Again , who really cares now anymore? It's all wasted water under the code bridge, nearly 15 years post-haste. And if all these copycat "open world" Action/RPG's are any indication ( see: 'SW: Outlaws' ) , there won't ever be another MMO for *Star Wars* until i dunno maybe 2050. So our choices are: Playing a 20+ year old SWGEmu server ( with hybrid psuedo JTL replica ) ...or.... Staying here in SWTOR a nearly 15 year old game which hasn't even barely touched GSF code since 2017.

Perhaps. But i was also in convos with the DEVS ( the original ones , not necessarily the GSF ones ) and i can promise you SWG's JTL was wayyyy more discussed/referenced than the older 'X-Wing' series. Not like it matters much now. The rest of your wall-of-text-chunks was just basically your OPINION , which is fine of course you're welcome to it. But you pretty much totally disregarded the 2 official links i provided to you that literally came directly from BioWare themselves lol. ( did you even read them? ) Correct and sad. tbqh, after playing other games recently like 'SW Jedi Survivor' & 'SW: Squadrons' ( and even 'Starfield' & 'Elden Ring' ) , it's very difficult by comparison after all these years to have any motivation to even login to SWTOR , much less devote any significant playtime toward it. If i wasn't GM of our 2 guilds ( both still here & active since 2011 ) , i would quit paying $ubscription to EA for SWTOR service....because it offers me practically nothing anymore. ( lol "Seasons" rehash hamsterwheel + Date Night 5-minute "content" sheesh ) Then again, none of those other games i mention are a MMO, so if by some miracle GSF got say a surprise expansion or like one Dev Cycle code focus..... well.... if if if .

ahhh ok, well it certainly resembles a similar type & design ( as Unreal-4 coded engine) i'll have to research the origins & inspirations of this 'Snowdrop' version now yep.....

hmm, i thought Ubisoft is using the same type of game-engine as in their recent 'Ghost Recon:Breakpoint' game, which is also i believe the same Unreal-4 game-engine as like 'Elden Ring' and 'SW: Jedi Survivor' and such, no? Yeah it's weird how both the SW: Jedi Survivor/Fallen Order series and now this Outlaws game aren't allowing players to CUSTOMIZE their own gender & style & such , before starting the game journey. Nothing wrong with a "female" protagonist of course , since i'm guessing females would prefer a female customized version of 'Kal Kestis' , like i dunno a 'Kali Kestis' version or whatever. But maybe the game Coders didn't want to bother with extra contrasting female/male ( or whatever modern gender people identify as ) body variations & animations within games nowadays. /shrug

Here's a better more robust (comprehensive) LINK for those interested--> https://www.starwars.com/games-apps/star-wars-outlaws The game looks OK i suppose , but i mean it's just another clone ( pun intended ) of every other "action/rpg" using the same Unreal-4 game-engine, accompanied by of course the same money-grabbing "Season Pa$$" type bonus "$ubscription" traps for players. But hey, at least it'll be a nice break away from SWTOR doldrums.
