I opened the post in good faith, meant to be for the developers to have a look into what obstacles there could be in the game. I did not open the post to have self-righteous, patronizing, lecturing brag-heads inform me of things I already know. There were indeed valid advise from several players, which I can use and work on, thank you for that. Good to see that some folks really can 'speak' in a decent and constructive language on the inet, opposed to some folks who barges in scolding and lecturing.. I have no more interest in this thread, so I shall refrain from commenting any further..

Alrighty GatorAndy - good stuff I will try and be more insisting in joining groups - I have held back because I see most players joing those groups with 30-40k health and I'm around 27k myself. My slots are almost filled with '66' + augments so I'm surprised how people can have such high health compared (I understand that they might have much higher than '66'). OK I do not go for endurance - I go for statistical stats found online, which gives me lower health but stats close to the ones advised in numerous online fora.. Anyway thanks for taking time to pitch in - appreciated.. Cheers

EV, EC, KP, S&V, TfB tried a few in SM and supposedly my gear is not good enough for HM, which I agree.. not enough omph to chip in my part..

Phinion - errr what is your comment supposed to do in this discussion? You as well as others fail to see the essence of this post, you just blabber away without seeing the topic. Grouping up with people is not the issue, as well as having enough time is not the issue. It is a fact that there are plenty of solo players who are not able to progress with their gear because they are not accepted in pugs due to too low stats. To help those players getting a foot inside the ops groups I think it would be beneficial to the game if there would be a way - make it hard if needed, no problem there - but at least it gives a possibility to players like myself to upgrade their gear and get into ops groups to proceed further.. Or the game could chose not to attend this and eventually lose customers..

Chicktopus - it is something along those lines i really meant in my post - you just managed to put it into words.. nice one - hope they'll look into that

ninjonxb - alright - yes it was something like that i was looking for..actually was already starting looking into this after my post here thx for that supportive answer - makes sense.. and thx for the link - never stumbled over that.. cheers

JPryde - your cocky attitude is repulsive.. You are missing the point: better gear enables you to participate in ops groups (raids afaik is not existing in swtor) to get better gear you need to participate in ops groups a circle w/o solution.. and no - i am not swimming in credits so forget about the gtn.. and I also know everything about RE'ing so I don't need your patronizing comment about that.. with your 'philosophy' - what happens is that you reach a certain level and run into a wall, which you can't climb - eventually making you consider to give up on the game, because you can't advance.. and why would solo players not want to go into ops groups? obviously that is the goal with the game - to be able to have fun in operations as well.. btw: my 'suggestion' lies in the question - but it's clear you fail to understand that

This would solve one of my biggest problems: I have my own guild - a 1man guild - only to have space for all the mats for 7 master crafter toons. By doing so I block myself out of being able to craft/acquire higher than level 156 rating, since I am not able to grow the guild to run high level ops for higher schematics/gear.. If I could have a legacy/account bank - I could then quit the guild and join a bigger guild to run high level ops.. Go for it BW

I have 7 rep toons and 7 imp toons all at 55. Master Crafter as well. Running my own guild with only me as a member, in order to have space for all crafting mats and etc. Expanding the guild is not easy as there are apparently enough and more popular guilds around which people prefer to join. The above info is just to underline the following: Unless you are in a big guild - or swimming in credits - it is very hard as a solo player to get much higher than Rating 156. Pug's - hmmm not an easy path either.. My question is: Would it be possible, either via crafting (including RE) or solo missions/lines, to make a way for solo players to acquire those higher e.g. armorings, mods, enhancements above 28..?

I think it would be nice if they add a feature so that high level (55) via e.g. a line of missions could achieve an ability to travel all over the galaxy much quicker and direct than taking the usual ship and further selection and hoops and loops before arriving at your destination. I think that if you have leveled a toon to 55 you know how to travel all over - in a very time consuming way - so there should be some advantage in reaching max level. I hate it when doing a mission like e.g.The Ancient Gree Relays and it takes forever to travel to all those destinations.

I really really miss a feature where I can check what my other toons can craft - eg. via Legacy.. Cheers, skywave

I wish they would make SWTOR in a LINUX version as well..! No thx - I don't want it through WINE or PlayOnLinux - it won't work optimum and it's too complex to setup. skywave

howdy folks, i have a big wish to put forward to the developers: would it be possible to implement a feature in chat so that you can monitor who is lfg on eg voss while you're on corellia? many days on end i have been trying for hours to get some heroics done - but not enough populations to fulfil the desire, so i was thinking of a selective planet choice feature so that you would get a wider overview of who is lfg on another planet where you have heroics waiting. what do you guys think - is this something to consider implementing? added later: was blue on almost black - anyway forget i asked - i did not ask to be patronized - so forget it

and: guild chat works again - FYI

if this holds: all my praise to BW and team - awesome..!!!
