Its one skill. There are hundreds of more important bugs. There have been visual bugs with just about every class since the game came out.

Who does heroics for a challenge? Go raid... if you're one of those weirdos who are anti-social and think its a sin to group with other players then you bring boredom upon yourself.

Bioware doesn't care about operations anymore. They put the least amount of effort possible into bringing them up to 65 and thats it. Which is why you don't see any new drops bar a couple deco's, and why certain ops are a complete pushover. Pretty sure there wasn't any testing done because of certain bugs that occur such as Arkanian loot dropping in hm, no loot at all, etc.

You all can thank yourselves for the content being too easy. This forum *****ed and complained about how everything was too hard in 3.0 so now you have easy content but you're unhappy cause its too easy? Do you all even know what you want anymore? You want something challenging then go into nightmare ops. If you don't raid then sorry to break it to you but you're never going to be happy because the content is not going to be difficult outside of operations. Which even then several if not all the ops got nerfed pretty hard so...

Your attitude is awful. People like you are why I would hate to be a community manager.

You're comparing the first operation the game ever released several years ago to one that came out a couple years after the game released. Of course they are going to be way different. To be honest hard mode is not bad at all. The damage output is easily manageable when you use defensive cooldowns appropriately.. If the hm ops were all the same then every fight would be a tank and spank like EV was with little to no mechanics at all. The easier hm's are there so that people who struggle or are new can get gear without having to do content that is actually challenging. Oh and you should be doing a swap right as/after you get hit for 70k on Raptus. That's how it always was before people outleveled/geared the instance.

You do realize that the old columi/rakata operation/some old pvp gear was recently re-released through Cartel Packs correct? So they definitely have done that already and will do it again. I wouldn't be surprised if they rename the Kell Dragon/Dread Master shells and sell them through the market to make more off it. You can't sell armor through the Cartel Market right after you removed it from the game, but you can if you wait a bit. Not as many people were playing when Rakata gear was standard so the time gap has been long enough that people such as yourself don't even know that they're doing it. Personally I don't really care and its better than just completely removing the armor from the game. But people love to ***** about anything so...

What? Mara dps is in a better spot than it was the entirety of 3-4.0. As far as mad dash being a sure way to die and having no precision, you go 20 meters in the direction you are facing and Tyrans is the only fight I can think of that would be risky to use the ability. Adjust to change, you'll be better off.

No. Just no. Now you always have a leap up when you need it and aren't forced to blow your leap on CD for focus/rage. Anni mara's now have a leap to use for mobility 100% of the time, a brand new gap closer/immunity (which is also amazing, if you disagree its a l2p issue.) in the form of mad dash, and while not as new the ability to use predation every 30 seconds without the cost of a berserk/bloodthirst. (Predation also provides 10% melee/ranged defense to your group. A very useful bonus.) On top of everything else you aren't forced to self root yourself to build focus. I'm sorry but there is literally no reason to complain about the change. Stop thinking inside the box and trying to hold onto the same old static rotation. This change is good for the class and only that.

Then what do you even need the gear for? You don't need 200+ gear to do any solo content in the game... I just don't understand why you're having a problem aside from wanting something you don't need for any reason but to have it.

WoW is fantasy, SWTOR is sci-fi. I'm sure many have tried WoW and didn't like it for "x" reasons. I did and lasted about 20 minutes before I knew it wasn't for me. Some people just don't like fantasy and while certain aspects of the game may be better if you don't like what the entire game is based off of you're probably not going to enjoy it as much. In a perfect world the raiders would just go play WoW, Pvpers go to whatever game has the best pvp atm, etc. However its just not that simple unfortunately.

You do realize that there are things called personal opinions and your post is glaring with them? Some people don't give a damn about the story and do enjoy other aspects of the game such as raiding and pvp. You call people who enjoy different things from you morons? I'm sorry but you are the real moron here. Not sure how you don't know what an opinion is but some people are just not very intelligent I guess.

Raiders can have this game? You clearly have no clue of what you are talking about. This game has been dumbed down and ripped to shreds to cater to people like you and the best part is you're never gonna be happy til you get a button that lets you 1 shot mobs that drop the best gear. You don't need top tier gear to run around roleplaying with your companions/build a pixel house so your complaints are completely invalid. I especially love the bottom half of your post. where you say "Even toxic PVP culture is more acceptable than toxic PVE raider culture where people think they deserve the best because they figured out how to beat some visual math and think they're actually good at something, at least toxic PVP players actually have to be good enough to beat other human beings, and not just a string of repetitive code cycling until a boss reaches 0 health." You sound like a bitter child with a strong sense of entitlement. You do realize this is an MMO right? Not a single-player role playing game. There are plenty of options for players like you who don't want to do group content and there is nothing you are going to do that requires high end gear. If you REALLY want it then you can just buy it. This post is pointless.

Someone got kicked from raids for being clueless...

There are way less resources being put into raids in this game than you think. You get more than enough RP content throughout the 12 months of the year while we had what 2-3 new raids last year? All of the content you guys got and you for whatever reason think raids should become a thing of the past so that what....you can have more? Some of us mainly enjoy the raiding in this game as well as PVP and don't give 2 ***** about housing or the newest cartel pack but you don't see us whining that they are putting resources into it. Think about other people before you let words fly out of your mouth.
