		<description>W/r/t same sex romances: pretty sure that&#039;s a LucasArts veto. BioWare has expressed interest in writing them, but the official Lucas position is &quot;there&#039;s no gays in Star Wars.&quot;

I wish I was joking.</description>

		<description>Fantastic post. I was completely flabbergasted about the lack of same-sex romance above all else. Rift&#039;s AH is honestly really terrible too, though that may be because I&#039;m used to WoW&#039;s AH with lots of addons on top of it.

The user actions during combat thing drove me absolutely nuts when leveling, especially considering SWTOR actually seems to put decent items in chests.

Also, I loved the &quot;Model T&quot; comment at the end :)</description>

		<description>There are a couple more issues.

A) Ability lag.  Annoying in PVE (I taunt the mob, 1 sec later the animation finishes and the taunt goes out (mabye)).  But is game breaking in PVP.  I get CC&#039;d, I use my class trinket ability, I&#039;m dead before the instant goes off.

http://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/ocjrw/can_someone_explain_like_im_5_what_the_ability/
Brief Summary From Redit below.

1. Player decides to use an &quot;instant&quot; ability
2. Player pushes button to tell SWTOR what to do
3. SWTOR sends information to server that player wants to use ability and begins animation of that ability
4. Server waits specified time for the ability before applying it to the enemy, then triggers the effect
5. SWTOR shows ability hitting the enemy just as the animation finishes

There is more to it than this. The GCD is being affected as well. For example: You have a move that requires the target being in a certain state (ie incapacitated). You see the target is incap, so you fire the instant ability. The animation plays. DURING your animation, the incap on the target ends. Your insta ability attempts to apply, but FAILS because the target &quot;Does not meet requirements&quot;. Your GCD STILL fires, preventing another move, you did the animation, but you applied 0 effect. Also, If the animation is LONGER than a GCD, you have to wait until the animation is over before using any other skill.

B)  Complex PVP gear tokens.  I still have no idea how they work.  You evidently have low level tokens that you convert to higher level tokens and then you buy bags that have piece tokens so that you can buy the gear that you want.  However it is random, so you may just never get that shoulder token you want.</description>

		<description>Haha. I have an herbing druid. I try to be conscientious though and if I see someone fighting near a node I&#039;ll wait until I see whether they are going to take it or just happen to be there, or else I just assume they want it and move on. I hate when people swoop in and steal a node from you!</description>
