1.7 in a nutshell - PQ'S, CASH SHOP, REP GRINDS...OH MY!
EA is going to ask the wizard of OZ for a heart...
EA is also going to ask him for courage to innovate and not copy.
The Swtor playerbase is gonna ask for a brain. This needs to explanation.
I think this is great. The game seems to be slowly heading in the right direction.
This will encourage more open world pvp as well.
It sounds pretty good really , just hope you don't get flgged for PVP within that area on Ilum though. I will be still happy for PVP'ers though if that's the case. So it's an ongoing event and from the one screen shot it seems it will have at least 4 sections to gain "reputation" from. Might be a little grindy but at least it's something for poor ilum. I like the sound of the mobile imperial fleet too. It will give people something else to do before the cap goes up in a few months. That "Tron" looking armor seems pretty decent too.
Cheers,

-Unconstitutional laws aren't laws.-
No kidding. I still got five other characters to level in this game for their class stories .I just figured out what role my three 50 level guys will be doing and still haven't finished all the end game stuff for them. Plus there is guild events to do every week. So much to do and so little time.

Ick.
You can buy a cartel shop reputation bonus boost.
Note upper right corner.
Yeah no kidding. I"ve only played 3 of the stories to 50, Trooper, Consular and Sith Warrior. I just finished my Consular/Shadow yesterday. Next will either be a Jedi Knight or Bounty Hunter, probably Bounty Hunter since I just went through questing on the Republic side. I know many people didnt like the Consular, and it was a litle dull, but the end was good so it made up for it.
But yeah, so much to do.
-Unconstitutional laws aren't laws.-
In reply to ability to buy reputation with cartel coins. I don't think anybody in right mind will do something like that. I much prefer to gain reputation by questing and spend my CC on cartel boxes /grin
I am very excited about 1.7. I love Ilum. The night sky in Ilum is the best I've ever seen in any game

Which f2p games does not sell rep bonus I swear some of these posters will complain about anything that has to do with swtor...think it's time to move on.What does FTP have to do with anything? The game is Freemium. Endgame Reputation grind is aimed at the subscribers.
On top of your monthly subscription fee, Bioware is hoping people will buy real cash boosts to what I imagine is a tedious reputation grind a la WoW.
The reputation grind's reward is high end gear. The game is drifting closer to Pay To Win.
I don't like it, Seven seems ambivalent, you seem beligerent about it.

Pay2win not even close. Belligerent (spelled correctly) ? I am not the one bashing a game I dont play on every post that pops up. You fit that definition not I.Kudos on your spelling skillz.
Out of curiosity, how do you know I don't play the game?
On second thought, I don't really care about that, I'm more curious as how you don't see this as buying a competative advantage.

This site allows you to view a person post history. Not that hard to tell if someone plays a particular game or just bashed it cause they like to waste years of their life bashing a video game they dont play. As play 2 win as I see it would require you to buy top end gear that is better than anything else in game. Because you can buy a rep bonus (like every other f2p) does not make it p2w. You still need to play the game to get rep. A person that does rep bonus is not guaranteed to get there before someone that does not buy the bonus. Therefore this example of p2w us purely inaccurate. Please give another example of p2w in swtor.
Well those would also be inaccurate examples so yes that would be wasting my time.AoC, EQ2, LoTRo, DDO, RoM, AO, Atlantica Online, Vindictus...those are a few off the top of my head that comes without needing to actually think about it.
I swear some of these posters will defend anything that has to do with swtor...

Well next time you do your due diligence research into who plays the game and who's opinions are valid or not by going through post history, you could take notes and such on if there are any accurate points tucked in there. Kill two birds with one stone as it were. I thought I had a valid concern as to the future of the game, but apparently my opionion is invalid. So I guess enjoy the option to pay extra money to reduce the length of reputation grind.

Well i agree some will pay to reduce the time and that's their choice but all I was saying is that by no means =p2w.i play on a pvp server so i dont know the answer to this, but do you get flagged automatically on pve servers when entering the ilum pvp area? because if so, then i think you probably will be auto flagged since thats where it is suppose to be. one of the reasons they put it there is because they saw how the world bosses in outlaws den during the rakghoul event created pvp battles, and want to try and replicate that
as for the gear in the screens, i so want this for my trooper:
