problem is this game very unkind to New players, most events are too hard for them, gertting gear is really tough.
but i think VERY clear where game stands people are unhappy and leaving in droves. this M od thiong really ruined it, had they kept old ones ppl would have adjusted because everone could be awesome not just top 1%, thus Creating Balance.
the Credit crunch is really hard to overcome, id say they need a Daily credit, for everyday or boost GW to 1mil
also if your gonna nerf the the end result then gotta nerf the price too.
some features its really lacking and i think would bring people in for the long haul
Fixed Features
-----------
Roll back Mod Set bonus to its Original Form
Cut leaving princes in Half / or possibly eliminating leveling and stick with a Set Level
Give a little buff to the current stats so were in between OP and Now
GW giving 1mil Credit and Double the Training droids
the last 5 nodes have greater chance of dropping shards
Tank challenge now gives new gear (or maybe adding a new tier to every challenge?)
New Features

Legacy : a new feature that allows Some gear off fully developed toon that you can use on other Toons (Armor,Clone helmets, Lightsaber Colors, all for customization purposes, no stat changes)
a new way to level your Toons Story mode/Quest: Use your toon for Free exp (for them, not player) its Slower but uses no credits or droids and whoever is in your party gets the Exp
Darth Malgus has opened a Time Rift Spanning all Centuries of the SW universe and is planning to wage War
(kinda like Mortal kombat story mode in most recent games) Starting with the Battle of Korriban and the Sacking of Coursant (SWTOR) Battle for Naboo, Mustafar, endor, etc going thru each time period (planet for Each zone)
just some idea off the top my head if i was running things :P
