    At least in Rift, there's stuff to do @50. In SWTOR, there really isn't much to do. You don't even get the luxury of doing the same stuff over and over. 1. Raid ops (2 hours weekly, 8 gaming hours per month unless your guild is new) 2. PvP 3. Waste time getting groups for "hard mode"...

    For PVE, most classes are similar in buttons. Not sure about Sent/Maur as this is the only AC I haven't raided/pvped with yet (waiting for Legacy now). I do know they take more work in pvp. For PVP, there's no 2-button class unless you're a baddie or haven't played the class yet. Even...

    Yeah, that's the problem with that stat. I have multiple 50s and keep most of my credits on 1 toon then just send as needed. Also it's misleading (as seen in some above posts) just because most people don't see the point in trying to get more credits. Let me put a shock collar on a Jawa...

    I think their info is wrong (at least as far as looking at fleet/ilum is concerned). I play on 2 servers and it has the one with far few people on fleet/ilum any time day or night well ahead of the busier one. Data is probably old.

    Yeah, I'm excited for 1.2 mostly (not thrilled about potential nerfing). I liked this stat: 80% of all level 50s playing have under 400,000 credits. Wow.

    The announcement that 1.2 (their lifeline to keep many bored players going) is now delayed til April isn't going to help active player counts once it becomes more known. And holding server transfers until late April/May at the earliest is crushing for all those on low pop servers. I will...

    Yes. I use the Nar Shad auction all the time to smuggle items/credits to other side. Just tonight I did this for 20 items. A bit of a pain, but it beats not having any options.

    Sounds like you're running with PUGs or a poorly-run guild raid. Easy solution is to get a strong leader to run the raid with clear rules. Before each piece is put up for rolling there should be discussion (shorter for pro groups, longer for newer runs). And yeah, someone might *need*...

    That has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with your guild. Either say no or find a new guild. If we *require* someone to play an alt for the good of the raid that night (or whatever), that person is in the mix for loot as a main. Simple as that. And a guild is beyond...

    Think it was a woman who put "lonely" and "single" together as a way to make guys feel bad for not wanting to commit and spend their resources on someone else. Guys can be lonely and married. And single isn't a negative. Think the proper stereotype is: happy, single guys. :) Not to...

    Perhaps the easiest might be for each person to run as fast as they can into the ball when called out and get bubble/heals. Then it's just target, run/pop, heal, back to biz. If you let the balls hang around, they can do dmg to more people and make a mess of things (especially for melee). It's...

    I am a Vanguard who tanks Ops weekly for my crew, so let me address a couple things. As a sidebar, I also was raiding with a commando before that. 1. We are not "ranged" tanks. We are "ranged/melee hybrid" tanks. In other words, if I'm sitting at 20M out, my threat will suck. I need to be 10M...

    Soa on nightmare mode (raid). For non-group, it could be the end of your class quest. But nothing is really too difficult.

    PVP exp scales with level. So if you're like lvl 10, you'll see 4-6k. If you're much higher, you'll see 20k.

    Really? Wow. We've got slicing 340 missions going for that (and selling). Heck, I've seen lvl 20 epics and orange gear going for that. :) We also have several gold farming bots in Ilum. I find it funny that anyone would think to buy credits.
