Good evening, first of all I'd like to thank you for taking time to hear from the community and do an attempt to answer all of our questions. So having said that I have a couple of questions my self and my guild have:
1. Recently it feels that the character release has been rewarding PTP players, and I understand they are the ones keeping the game running; however, can FTP players expect any major character(s)?
2. What are you guys doing/thinking in regards to what many consider "Arena Mafias" that basically kill competition at the top 50 and people outside of those groups to be specifically targeted and excluded, forcing them to waste more crystals than they should due to their skill level just because a group of people want the easy way of getting those rewards?
3. On the previous Q&A you mentioned that you want to reduce the time spent on the game for tasks, specially for veteran players, but the question about a practice mode arose and you said that part of the option to Sim or not Sim the GW was to see how many people would be interested in practicing, the problem I see with that is I can auto the whole GW with one team, it doesn't provide any practice mode. So have you considered that when thinking of a practice mode?
4. Have you considered intra-guild battles?
5. Has there been any consideration on shard gifting, like there is for gear?
6. For TW, could you add a way to display the win/tie/lose of the guilds, specially when the TW begins?
6. With the new Sith raid out, the amount of time balancing other raids has increased. For the Rancor since it's the oldest one out, is there any plans for people that can solo it to rank without spending the time? Thus allowing other guild members to get more out of the raid without infringing on the rewards.
7. Speaking of raid rewards, why people dealing the same exact damage don't get the same rank? It happens on any other mode of the game except raids.
8. Lastly, are there any plans to structure the "member roles" in the game, for example add a co-lead or something in between officer and leader or between officer and members?
