"Ok,First off I'm sick of people posting THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED LIKE 100 TIMES. Read the previous posts first THEN write yours."
Sorry Sunshine, but devs like to see multiple reports so they can assess whether the problem is global in scope or related to specific details.

I'm a good roleplayer. I've been playing P&P RPG since the first D&D hard cover handbook was released in the 70's. IF I had a Jedi character, I would not be running around wavingmy lightsaberfor no reason. However, there is nothing that can be done to force someone to cooperate. This is strictly a roleplaying issue. When you have roleplaying games that refused to address roleplaying issues, this is what happens.

Regarding light sabers being waved outside of combat... use a little imagination, people.
There's certainly lots of toys that look like guns in this society. Some of them are so real looking that you can't tell if they are real until they fire a stream of water at your faceinstead of bullets.
In an advanced tech society, there would be lots of ways they could createa visual illusionsimilar to real lightsabers forkiddie toy lightsabers, and the only way you could tell the difference would be in seeing one cut something in half. I doubt a person in this society would believe a light saber being waved at the front door of a starport would be anything but a toy lightsaber. They would have to see a lightsaber actually working to believe it was real and take action as if it were real.
Grasping, meet straws.
I wanted to add an important point... this is NOT a bad game balance issue. This is a bad ROLEPLAYING issue. If you guys want to allow some policing of bad roleplaying in SWG, us roleplayers would be more than happy to enthusiastically support it. Characters running around with names like "The Rock" and "sCrIptKiDDiE" are no less disruptive to the playing environment than these waved lightsabers.How about a TEFwhen people shouting out scores of Yankees and Pistons games?
I see your point, but why add insult to injury? Especially when it involves an icon of the universe the game is played? Doesn't that affect everyone.
I disagree. There was something in place to "encourage" people to roleplay. It was called Lightsaber TEF. If you wanted to be secretive, you didn't ignite. If you wanted danger or a fight, you did.
I'm not gonna reply anymore because this is getting lengthy and not really on topic.

Untouchable. unTEFable Jedi running around EVERYWHERE
Loaction: Every Starport
Server: Every Server
Repeatable: Yeah just log in
Profession: BH but that doesn't mater... I can be a pike that can't switch weapons or... you get the point, right?
I became a BH why? I can't even get TEF on these guys anymore! Ooh wait you say! This was done so that ONLY Jedi Knights can get TEF'd? Well isn't that great? Now can I not only TEF a char that will whoop my ass in a heartbeat but because of the weapon timer I can't even apply states or DOT's! Well if that ain't the end all in the best "JEDI" patch ever. When will the BH get his new specials? You know.. FeatherTickle I, LLC Laugh at me II, Suicide III, and lastly WhyBotherWithBH IV? Fix the damned game already. Not only for the BH but for all of us. It's been a one year PAID for public beta. Give us a game thats solid, balanced and worth playing.

Wow... I really try to support the Devs, but this is an incredible display of letting 'Upper Management' push out a Publish WAAAAAAY to soon...
Some of the bugs are just plain Unacceptable... and the fact that the vendor one got out and people have been bugging it on TC for awhile now... yikes... this is something that 100% of your customers are going to be Screaming about folks... com'on... lol... not good...
* Ducks for cover in Dev-Land *
* Trys to slowly open locker and hopes the Red-Tag ain't there *
I haven't logged in yet, but reading these boards I feel like it's Publish 1 or worse right now... guh, I feel for you guys... GL
Gotta really start making sure the Patch Notes correspond to the Patch Bugs... I mean Patch Fixes...

My jedi robe, 5 pearls and a red crystal have disapeared from my Jedi's player inventory. He was wearing the robe. I disconnected from him and logged on my main character for a moment. Upon returning he was in his boxers and his robe, the pearls and crystal were all missing yet my other inventory items remained intact. I'm logging out for about 20 minutes to see if they return, but if not you will be replacing those items today.
I'd also like to note how my main character is now showing that he has not mastered professions that he had indeed mastered before the profession badges were given. Either give my character the credit he deserves for mastering all the professions he's done or remove the silly profession and exploration badges all together. You've made them into nothing special at all with badges for walking across the street, etc. The badges for the Cries of Aldreraan were something special since people can't go back and get those now.
A question I have as well while I'm posting here. One of ya'll had stated at one time not long ago that our main characters would be given the force sensativity skills as well as our jedi's since we've already unlocked our slot. Well that certainly didn't happen this patch so are we to assume this is going to be given to our main character with the next patch?Or are we going to have to grind the entire jedi quest to have our main characters have force sensative skills if we wish to have them? I for one don't relish the idea of going through an entire process of jedi quests to make my main character force sensative after he's already mastered all but 3 professions in the game.
*Edit* Oh yes, I don't have a painting either and I hope you don't replace that with a silly necklace such as the one I recieved from Victor even though ya'll had posted we'd recieve an Imperial banner from him if he'd won. You can put that banner in my inventory along with the painting, jedi robe, 5pearls and the red color crystal.

Issue: Junk Dealer Kits unique loot drop ratio.
Server: Radiant.
Planet: Corellia.
Location (x,y): All over but heavily in Tyrena area.
I do not expect this to be easy to find items but after hunting several hours Meatlumps/Ragkooks/RogueCorsecs/Corsecs and not found 1 uniwue item for the Gong Kit let alone any other kits. This also been told by friends having hunted many mobs and not found one. I havebeen for several hours clearing 4 mobs zones myself so pretty much nonstop combat with no unique types fo drops for any of the kits. I know this was a problem on TC also but looks like the drop ratio needs to be elevated some.

Issue: My free painting?
Server: Flurry
Planet: Tat
Location: pretty much where ever I check my inventory
Profession: Sig
Instructions for recreation: log back on
Also I had some Colored Twin Force Crystals that are now clear not sure if this is what was intended and my buddy confirmed some of his crystals too.
Dunno if this has been pointed out, but Q3P0's announcement said the painting would be awarded on the 30th, not the 29th.

I thought my main character was supposed to be force sensitive too? He is not. Is this a bug?
That is once the quest system is implemented, which obviously isnt until pub 10.
