More broken harvesting nodes than I have ever seen. They show up on your map but cannot be interacted with.

Repeating class stories and chapters. Pretty much this and just crafting new gear for any toons that level up.

Am I reading this right where it seems like as an alt-a-holic solo only non-guilded player that I should just ignore conquest now after 7.0? Generally I would do CQ on all my toons (11 on current server) and sell the solid item on the broker, but it seems like there isn't really any reason to do CQ at all after these changes. No exp, no credits, no guild to please. I don't really need much in the way of high end gear if I don't do any kind of PVP or Ops. My toons are at 306, but I'm a self-reliant crafter. Mostly for me CQ has been a mini goal for me each week. I think what keeps me playing MMORPGs is completion of mini goals and long term goals. I have been in and out of the game since it launched, and I love story content, but I tend to play as though it's an offline RPG where I can buy and sell by chance.

Terrible! Destroy! Do not want! And yes, I'm already a sub, and I already buy stuff! Begone!

Least favorite: female consular, male smuggler. Favorite: male agent, female trooper.

I came to the forums to see if the spawn time on these items was truly this bad. Amazed. I'll park my character in this spot and log her on there periodically to see if an item has spawned.

Theron Shan. He's like a trap I fall into every time, no matter who I planned to stick with instead.

I'm very happy with the new conquest. I used to be in a large guild that would competitively leap on named CQ mobs and try to steal them from smaller guilds who were going after them. I hated it. It got downright nasty. I am not a competitive person, and I didn't like people getting into shouting matches over chat when everybody wanted one WB. Now that I've left and started over, I completely avoid guilds and pretty much all social aspects of the game and just solo everything. I want to play the game much more since I can do whatever I want and don't have to go to a specific area and grind. I don't have anything earth-shattering to add. I just wanted to add my thanks and support.

I was in a guild on Star Forge, but when I left the game and came back, I didn't want to deal with social aspect as much. Had some real life stuff going on as the mom of an autistic kiddo, so I decided to go to my old characters on Darth Malgus and do my own thing. Anyway, I also spend time in other games like Darkest Dungeon and Steamworld Quest, so it's good to be able to pop in and out whenever. I'm glad that other players can be social if they want, and I don't begrudge anyone a meaty amount of group content, but other than occasionally accepting a group invite so that everyone can get a heroic boss without fighting, I've enjoyed being able to play when I want and not feel pressure to do anything. Story, chapters, and dailies are plenty for me. Seems like there's something for everyone, so I have zero complaints.

I can only speak for myself, but it just wasn't my thing. My interest is in story driven content, character development and carving out a niche in the world in any game, and I only tried GSF to begin with because I was in a guild at the time. They wanted me to tag along, so I gave in. I just dragged down the team anyway. Glad others are having fun with, it, though, and hope it helps to keep the game around for a long time.

Darth Malgus server, btw. Anytime I arrive on Iokath, all my titles are stripped, and my companion is immediately unsummoned.

Going forward, the Chiss will be candy cotton pink, and all NPCs will speak Huttese.

I'd even be happy with a 'companion chatter off' checkbox. I mean, I love to look at Theron, but I know Master Zho would be proud, and I don't wanna hear about it again.

I see your point about other LIs needing more time, and I don't disagree with you. It would be great to get new content for all of them and for all of those voice actors to be on board with it. I'm just saying that because I knew there wouldn't be more content for them, I moved my focus since I like Theron anyway. I'd love to see more out of Vector, for instance. Also I'd enjoy having his bugs fixed so he can wear a chest piece that shows his chest or arms, and I'd like Paxton to be customizable and not have that horrible thing on his head.

It does make it easier, though, to justify flirting with those passersby NPCs with a few flirt lines, knowing that Corso and Felix, etc., are just dust in the wind. With an eye to the future and to Theron's extended inclusion in storylines, I don't bother getting uptight worrying if I've messed something up by sleeping with random Alderaanian nobles and so on while going about my merry way.
