SWTOR: Social Gear by Social Rank and Location

One of the most popular parts of an MMO is the gear you can get for your character. It just goes with the genre and nearly every MMORPG has gear and gear sets that your character can earn, buy or loot in some manner in the game. SWTOR is no exception and there are several types of gear in the game and different ways to get it.

Too bad you have to spam running Esseles/BT to get your social points high enough to do anything.

from what i'm hearing, this game turned out to require more grinding than world of warcraft does right now.

Well its just how you look at it. You get Social points by grouping with friends and doing the conversations. So if you start the game doing that, you should already have quite a bit by end game. But it is an MMO and there will be grinding, but not like WoW. Leveling is a blast with how the story is told. Im loving every second of it.

To level up and play through the story of the game doesn't require much grinding at all. But to get the best gear, the best social gear, or the best PvP gear then yeah you gotta grind a bit. In the case of social gear you gotta grind a LOT.
