As a heads up to everyone already there or thinking of heading back in, there's a slew of events kicking off today in SWTOR after the patch has been deployed, including double XP. I've jumped back in a couple of weeks ago and it's been a quite refreshing change.
Patch 6.3.1 goes live today alongside the following:
Rakghoul Resurgence on Tatooine: Runs until July 6th.
Nar Shaddaa Nightlife: Runs until August 10th
Double XP Event - Runs until July 13th (also applies to Valour & Renown points)

To keep it in the same thread, Bioware announced that the game is getting a new expansion due out some time around Christmas.
SWTOR: Legacy of the Sith
This one is mixing things up a bit, so now guardians could wield 2 lightsabres, a commando trooper can use any type of ranged weapon and so forth if you so choose to do so, including skills the class wouldn't normally have.

They're changing gearing again so in terms of item drops Max gear is going from 306 to 334
Conquest/solo content maxes gear out at 326
Veteran Flashpoints get to 324
Master Flashpoints 326
Veteran Legacy Operations 326
Master Legacy Operations 330
Story Difficulty for the R-4 Anomaly Operation will be 330
Veteran Difficulty for the R-4 Anomaly Operation will drop 330, 332 and 334 rated gear
So the good news is if we can get enough people together for Operations for levelling events this is going to be the time to get back into it. Bad news is if you're a solo player which I think a few of us are, you're screwed unless you do randoms which for Operations is...well not ideal.

It's definitely not the best way they've done it, it's quite confusing to be honest. The short version seems to be that legacy content will be up to 330, thougn not all of it straight away and the new operation will be the sole source of gear rated higher than that, depending on the difficulty level.
As it stands, you're effectively locked down whatever path you go to, compared to the current system which allows any content a chance to reach the highest gear level. It's not the end of the world, but it is something of a step backwards for the game, especially after all this time.

Agreed, there are a few people saying that especially considering the changes they made to gearing in 6.0. A lot of the solo players aren't happy about it because, like you said before you could get to the current 306 rating doing whatever you wanted in game. If you wanted to grind out the storymode flashpoints you could, this is a step back in comparison, considering they only made the change with 6.0.
The reason is because people only did a few things in the game and instead of thinking up ways to entice players to play that other content by doing say exclusive armor sets and weapons for those things the feeling is they took the easy way out by putting gear behind them instead which isn't the way to go.
Even if we had enough people to do an 8 man Operation yet alone a 16 man one and ran it every week given the RNG nature of how drops work in the game who knows how long it would take to gear everybody.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if it gets changed with the 8.0 update but that is probably a long way away.

I'm not a sub so I like how 6.0 did it. Those that dont know you cant do operations (raids) without a subcription.

Yeah, I can understand why they want people to sub to get the better gear, as the cartel market is more for space Barbie's mostly unlike the zen store.
Although I do feel it's a bit unfair that the good stuff is locked behind a paywall

There are ways around some of them, but generally speaking, the restrictions on F2P/Preferred players within SWTOR make it much less hassle and confusion to just subscribe.

Agreed that it makes it easier to just subcribe. They've also announced that the R-4 Anomaly Operation will not be releasing with the update but coming out in January to give people time to gear up for it. It's also only going to be an 8-Man Op.
