More Decoration Items...Paintings, Plants, Furniture, and If Its gonna be a hanging light, make sure it is a new style, not one that looks exactley like one you can /rotatefurniture roll 180 and serve the exact same purpose 
Make it something sought after, or original like the bug collection, Glass Shelving, those look great and can expand ideas for RP buildings and such. Id Love to see some furniture that is actually already IG but noone has yet. Like the chairs in Bestine's City Hall Loby, for example. The Painting in the Bestime Museum. (waterfalls, or whatever) Just my ideas. Take it as you wish. |

how about not having collections where you spend days on end killing the same mobs over and over and over without getting that last piece.
no collection piece should be rarer that any other, they all should drop at the same drop rate, and if that means making them ALL less common, then so be it, just not to the point like the Sith Holocron 4/5. some story driven collections with some puzzles to solve would have been nice... the DWB's quests to get the alum minerals had a nice little puzzle with getting all the lights on Green to shut off the water pumps. somethign like that would be nice. |

Ya, to be honest, I hate collections, I hate that I am forced to do the same shit I did to grind up my character for stuff a Trader should be able to make me.
Their idea of content is seriously lacking..... I cant see how anyone finds this fun. |

My thoughts exactly. I did the intro two collections where you pick up items, and after that when I did the two imperial armor collections just to get a crappy badge while I was expecting something meaningful, I said to myself ... screw this. I'm not wasting a an entire working week worth of hours, which translates to 1/4 of my salary, for a crappy badge or any other pixel/byte "reward". Game should be fun, not with a taste of a slave labor. Instead of stealing God's time on collections and instances (where frankly in the very basic concept only mobs and positioning is different, everything else is the same) they should instead rework some of the game systems and make the environment really feel like what it is supposed to be, not a "click 10,000 times and you get a lamp" kind of thing that almost resembles a macromedia flash online game in its superficiality and lameness. It is an insult to the intellect. MMO-RPG, not a "clicky clicky click till you pass out" /removeCollectionsAndOthermeaninglessThings |

I do agree with you guys on that somewhat. But at the same time you ask for it to be removed, people are asking for it to be put in. So thier "FUN" might be collecting this stuff and focusing on that while yours is on other things.
The medium though is rather hard to define, let alone get SOE to get there. But I understand! |

Anyone that finds the space collections fun needs their head checked, honestly...
I still say this, SWG is a test bed for future SOE MMOs, this system would have been wonderful if I had never played this game before, or traveled to all those different places. Think about it, you will see what they are doing. |

there's one sure cure all that these idiots can never get their heads around:
battlegrounds. They need massive battlegrounds, some that are factional, some that are FFA. and maybe have some towns inside and mobs that offer better XP and sweet items. That way you face real danger and never know what will be waiting for you! oh, wait... combat isn't balanced. nevermind, scratch everything I just said. lol |

I love the space collections, granted, they take awhile to get thru, but they are fun, the most fun ive had in space, in a long time |

They are the most fun I have had since I first killed thousands of ships to grind to a goal. Killing hundreds of lvl 1 ship not fun! |

I think that is a bit of the problem.
For any of us Vets Collections is just a grind. If you were starting at CL 1 again though they're great. The collection then complements the leveling process. I do think it is a test bed of sorts. But some of this is just stuff they've taken from other SOE games. The titles coming from EQ2; or so I've heard. Not a big fan of every collection having a rare either. That is a mistake with the collectible drops. And as many have said the want to make everything a collection now as well. There was someone who mentioned decorating the walls of homes a different color and a Dev mentioned "collection"... that's something you just add in either to the schematic or for the crafter straight up. But they are still a breath of fresh air for a four year old game. Still, hope you all get your gun boats sooner rather than later. I've never liked space so I can feel ya on that being a straight up boring butt grind. Not as bad if your in a group on a POB though. |

That's the point, they really are not, its like grinding pilot all over again, but worse. It would be ok for them to just add some schematics to the game and not make us jump thru hoops. |
