Obviously they didnt wait because here is the patch message from inside the
game for publish 18 which has almost nothing thats listed here but does
address some of the player commnets from above.
June 15th, 2005 - Publish 18.0
Fan Fest Fixes!
a.. Altered Lightsaber special abilities animations (Fan Fest)
b.. Altered TKA special ability animations (Fan Fest)
c.. Fixed bug where Guild Elections were constantly recycling (Fan Fest)
d.. Ore mining units now come 5 to a crate, instead of 1 to a crate. (Fan
Fest)
Respec Token
a.. What is the Token Respec In order to offer players a final opportunity
to adapt their character's profession template, we are offering one final
chance to revise your character's template. We are calling this the Token
Respec process. As part of this process we are putting an invisible marker
on each character which allows the character skills to be reshuffled. After
the character template is revised, meaning when you have confirmed your new
template via the system, the token or marker is used and the option to
revise/respec is no longer available.
b.. Once the new Token Respec option to revise the character template is
live in the game, you will be offered a text window upon log in that asks if
you are ready for your last Respec.
There are several points to be aware of as part of this process:
a.. All existing players (including players who have had character and
account transfers) will receive a token allowing for one final respec of the
character profession template.
b.. You may choose to use your Token Respec upon receipt or to use it at a
later date this option remains available for you until you use it unless
otherwise notified.
c.. Although there is no limit on how quickly you use the Token Respec
option, once you commit the template by confirming that it is final you will
not have another respec opportunity.
d.. If you are still able to revise your character's template in-game as
part of the original Combat Upgrade respec option, the Token Respec will not
activate until you are out of the Combat Upgrade respec period.
e.. Bonus points/unused skill points from the initial Combat Upgrade
respec will not be transferred in any way to the new Token Respec
opportunity.
f.. There is a 12-hour respec timer buffering the use of the Combat
Upgrade respec option and the use of the Token Respec option meaning that
you cannot take advantage of the new Token Respec option until 12 hours
after you use the Combat Upgrade version.
g.. During the Combat Upgrade Respec process period, you will not be able
to earn Master Badges.
h.. After you complete the Combat Upgrade respec process and while you are
eligible for the Token Respec you will be allowed to earn Master Badges.
Crafting
a.. You no longer have to click through the crafting experimentation
result dialog. A system message is displayed instead.
Creature Handler:
a.. Pets in groups now get their own special "pet" role icon
Droid Engineer:
a.. Droids crafted without either a combat module or armor module are
level 1.
b.. Droids with either combat or armor modules will now increase the level
in 5 unit increments up to a maximum of 30.
c.. Crafting a droid with combat modules will increase min damage, max
damage, to-hit, and give the droid the ability to attack your current
target. Combat modules will also add a bit of armor.
d.. Crafting a droid with armor modules will increase its general
protection armor value at a greater rate than combat modules, and will also
increase the droid's defense value. Armor modules will not affect the
droid's to-Hit or min and max damage attributes.
e.. Players with older droid deeds and pcd's will be fixed retroactively.
Dueling
a.. If either player can currently attack the other, a /duel request will
be ignored.
GCW
a.. Players will no longer be allowed to donate turret deeds to Special
Forces facilities.
b.. DRX55 and XG mines can once again be purchased from faction
recruiters.
c.. Removed turrets from PvP bases
d.. Fixed LOS bug with cloning terminals
Jedi:
a.. Force Run is now a toggle buff and can be turned on/off at will, it
has an initial cost as well as a continual use cost
New Elite MOBs:
a.. Bane back spider with Trophy drop
b.. Murra Blanca with Trophy drop
c.. Painted Spat with Trophy Drop
New Player Tutorial
a.. Fixed some issues with the New Player Entertainer Profession quest and
New Player introduction quest.
Species: Wookiees
a.. Wookiees no longer get the clothing selection screen
UI:
a.. Elite indicators on mob HAM bars
b.. Tweaked the CON colors to make them user friendly for color-blind
users
c.. Removed level number display for nameplate.
Vehicles / Mounts
a.. Fixed bug that was allowing experience to be earned for killing a
vehicle
b.. Fixed problem where an Avatar would stand up while riding a mount and
changing weapons

So I ask you, where the heck are they? Why won't they speak?
I have one suggestion for the Dev's before they get caught up in the next
big game breaking untested publish... Publish 18.
Publish 18.0
ASAP, 2005 (this publish could take up to 30 days to produce. All available
Dev's have been brought in on this project. There will be NO new quests,
badges, or expansions until this is accomplished.)

wrong badge, no badge, no reward, or a bugged reward have been given the
proper item, badge, or a working version of the appropriate reward.
