The thing is this very process has been in the game since reputation was introduced with the Return of the Gree in patch 1.7 back in Feb. 2013. You could run the Gree event on every character, hit the max rep for week and keep collecting tokens as you keep playing the event. I did this on every character I had that could run the event every day and was using rep tokens for 6 weeks after the event ended just so I could get to legendary to get access to the first true legacy modifiable weapons and offhands as quickly as possible. I've been maxed on the Gree reputation since April 2013, I still enjoy doing the event once and while, just depends on what I am doing when it comes around. EA/BW never stopped the ability to stack up rep tokens all these years so I don't see how it could be an exploit, they've known about this since the beginning, intended or not they left it working that way. The weekly cap just slows you down on getting the reputation track ranks and access to any special vendors, not collecting the tokens you earn by completely missions. If the weekly cap stopped you from earning tokens then that would be a reason to stop playing the event since you are no longer getting rewarded with one of the main reasons to do the events. They could have changed or removed the weekly cap, the effect would be the same in end. In fact they did nothing about this token collection even after conquest was introduced and the conquest points for using a daily reputation token was set at such a high amount and has been that way for years. Why did it become such a problem now that the points needed to be nerfed? I have my thoughts. Add me as one more that is not happy with this stealth nerf and reasons given and after 12 years as a subscriber, this is one more "bad decision / response to player feedback" straw added to the camels back, and it's cracking if not breaking. For first time I am reconsidering the state of my subscription going forward.

100% this. And APAC players should first access to the server for at least a week before anyone else. There was no need to mix both a fresh start server and region server into one. If they wanted a fresh start server to use a test bed as they were trying to use SV, they should have spun one up specifically with that indication and all the restrictions and left SV as a regional server no different than any other region server. They really dropped the ball on this whole deal in so many ways but then again seems to be par for the course over the years that they don't learn from a bad decisions and keep the cone of silence going. (the rep token nerf as yet another recent example).

If one got the free transfers to use it is best to get them done early as possible before the 11th if planning to transfer at all. However many like myself, missed out getting the free transfers because of a less than 1 hour gap in subscription (I've been a continuous sub since 2012) and BS has done nothing fix that, Along with not really doing anything to help out or support the APAC players that should have been able to transfer a long time ago for free regardless of sub status and without restriction and should have been given first access to server before any others since it is their region server.

I've had this happen a lot years ago and finally stopped it from happening. It would happen to me most of time due to activating push-to-talk using the left Ctrl key while moving or using key binds that were tied to the numpad. Turned out to be an issue with locking in movement due to arrow keys. So since I don't use the arrow keys for movement or anything I unbound all references to the arrow keys as well as any secondary binding for movement that might reference the numpad keys of 2,4,6,8 since they can convert to arrow keys as well. Since I did that, I haven't had the autorun/autoturning disease happen for a few years now.

@jackyjaggy Hey, thanks for asking but unfortunately I no longer have any of the RD-31A chest pieces left.

Are you escaping out of the conversation once you do the exchange of notes for rep tokens? If you are that is the reason. In order to make the exchange stick you will need to go through the conversation options to exit the conversation normally. Option 7 and then 5 normally.

I have a couple of the RD-31A artifact chest pieces (one medic, one striker) in storage on Star Forge that I can trade / sell, so if you haven't found one already, let me know.

One thing I want to ask after watching the stream is why lock the set bonus to the shell? That pretty much makes all existing legacy gear in the game worthless other than use an appearance. Why not make the set bonus another type of slot in the gear that could then be moved to the whatever legacy gear you want to use as your "set" gear.? This would really help in identifying your gear sets the legacy bay when swapping or using gear on multiple characters.

I do not doubt this at all! Besides why would they want to do anything that benefits the Customer. Considering how often they request feedback and then ignore anything we say that goes against what they think. ie the new gearing for 5.10 and slot bound mods and enhancements they are ignoring.

The mission is still not fixed as of 5.10. Is it ever going to get fixed to give us back the Grand Chance Cube?

very true on this indeed. Sitting with 36 alts at 300+ with another about to hit 300 this week and 5 more in early tier 3.. I've Collected over 53000 UC's with very little pvp/gsf. Spent over 33000 so far building my legacy raid gear sets that I share for all alts (just need to finish up 4 sets) and upgrade left hand sides for several of mains that I use in harder content. Soon I'll finish up the remaining legacy sets and more left hands with 20k I have currently built up, when I decide to spend time working on gear. Doing all the weeklies and running ops really moves toons through the GC now especially when there is double cxp event. Speaking of which, need another one of those Not that I needed all my current 70 alts to 300 rank, it was just a nice little achievement goal to do while waiting for new content or in between working on the Gods from the machine op with the guildies.

I ran into this today as well with both my main account and a second account on Star Forge. All the characters are logged out in same stronghold (Tatooine) for my main account and nothing CS could do on the phone other than escalate a ticket up and have me put in a ticket as well. So now it is just a waiting game just to be able to log into my characters just to play.

Agreed with the planetary heroics were changed to have a transport to them from the terminal they were only doable once but that changed with the daily planetary mission section of GC including how Voss is treated. Suggesting to give each planet a weekly for completing the heroics like Voss doesn't mean to limit them to only once per week. It means to have them treated just like Voss. Do them once with a weekly for a little extra, then you can continue doing them the rest of the week as normal as part of the GC Planetary Mission Daily. But agreed given the track record of how sometimes EA/BW changes effect things in a negative way, and that would be a problem. But it would be nice to have the additional bonus for each planet for variety.

Not true, Voss has a weekly and you can continue to the four Voss Heroics each day, including the GC daily for Voss. Voss is the only planet that offers a weekly for doing the heroics. All the other areas that currently have a weekly are non-heroic dailies plus 1 heroic mission, and all of these are part of the daily GC for planetary missions. Makeb has a weekly but it is not connected to the heroics for Makeb nor is it part of the GC daily. The only heroics that can only be done once per week are Tython, Hutta, Korriban, Ord Mantell, Ilum and Makeb as these are not part of the daily GC option.

Agreed, and while they are at it, why not boost the Voss weekly as well, it only takes 3 of the heroics to complete the GC daily but all 4 to get the weekly. It should offer like 4000 cxp for the weekly. How about adding a weekly for each planet to do the heroics for that planet similar to Voss and get a boosted CXP once per week per character for each planet's heroics. This way there would be more variety.
