I preordered the Shadow of Raven expansion and this is what I found out so far. I thought the statue was something you carried like a holostatue but I was wrong it is bound to you for your personal stronghold and you can spend 1000 credits to unbound it to donate one for your guild.
As for the new content and story missions they are just flashpoints for you to do. Generally Flashpoints require a full group but they made it possible to solo the flashpoints with a god-like droid that heals and tanks and does awesome dps. This droid is built like 4 party members in one. It is a blessing and a curse. I am still not sure how pleased I am with this new content.
They got rid of the skills treat and some powers with each role. Now at first i was confused and thought I wouldn't like it but after a while I enjoyed it because as a tank the spells were more set up to tank and my dps rocks. I have not set up my healer yet.
Well that is my opinion of 3.0 so far.
