LOL Gee I wonder what brought this on?? Could it be that last week's Lucas exclusives on Super Shadow's site, that had YET another person whining to Lucas about SWG. and Lucas comment that he had enough, and was going to have a talk with SOE about it! Acutally did something? Hmm If that was it, I'm sending SuperShadow (though I can't stand him) flowers for making it possible to complain to the big cheese himself and get some changes made!!

Please God....tell me no one is actually gullible enough to believe anything written on that idiotic site. Please?

Hello everyone!
I LOVE YOU WES BELDEN!
Well, not in that way, but I havent said anything stupid on these forums since August. NOW I HAVE A REASON!
LET THE MAYHEM CONTINUE!
Your reason to come back was to declare your love for Wes? People never cease to amaze me
He's sooo dreamy!
Did I say amaze me? I mean terrify.
Ah, too bad Giz wasn't invited over to Austin. It's only a ...hurricane's throw away from Houston, and terrifying a correspondant is always fun, no?
Yay! We might actually havea real profession now! I however, have a few concerns with this system. Will FD still be implemented? I read the article on the hamstring thing, but when it comes down to it and you happen to end up in the middle of a MOB bath, burst shot and concussion only works on a few when faced with a number greater than 5.
This is where I FD and hope the mob moves on. Smugglers have an uncanny knack for survival and I hope they keep it this way.
but it must really urk you that neither you or any of the reps have any real info on this...especially the corospondants for the newly axed proffs...must really suck...
Weapons are being dumbed down to two stats: damage and range. Oh boy!

Umm.... translation anyone? I can't read it. There's no grammer, spelling or sentence structure.
It says, Smugglers Rock.
On the up side:
• Smugglers are one of the iconic professions. Hopefully that means that they won't be able to ignore us any more!
• Looks like Pilot is being left alone. I hope that's the case as I love it as much as Smuggler.
• I refused to buy TOOW, so yay for me
On the downside:
• No mention of specific Smuggling.
• Jedi is a base profession?!?! Great - welcome to even more of them running about... I just hope they're abilities are balanced.
• FPS twitch-based combat. Hmmmm, seems to me that it'll be a case of 'he who lags least, wins...'
• Bye-bye to so many professions
Crafters now lumped in together... Disappearance of BE, CH etc. • Why all the effort put into SL, CH and Ranger revamps just to ditch the lot?
Overall, I'm hopeful that I can really play the ground character that I want, but I'm a little concerned that there'll be a real lack of diversity in characters. I really like the complexity and flexibility of the old and current profession systems. Looks like the game's getting simpler and I'm not entirely sure I like it.
Still, I don't have the time to have a real life and get a new character on TC, so I put my faith in the rest of this community to see us right.
And Wes, you're doing a great job. You've always done your best to let us know as much as you do, and to be honest, anyone who tries to provide a conduit for information between SOE and the community is pretty much onto a loser from the outset
I'll drop in out of orbit to see how things are coming along from time to time
With you 110% Wes. Not just because your British (although that's the 10% part ), but because this is what I wanted the game to be from the start. I probably wasn't the only one, but I did post a few months ago the idea of an orbital barrage for a Commando ability - so I'm glad they stuck that in! 
I'm really looking forward to these changes. With only nine professions and no 'dabbling' (FINALLY!), it means any balance issues can be quickly resolved, and those professions can be stronger. While I won't pretend I'm going to miss BE (which I thought was padding anyway), I feel for the Creature Handlers. I imagine mounts/pets will be something anyone has access to however.
I foresee player bounties making a return, I think leaving them out has more to do with seeing how the initial system works before adding in all the extra parts.
If you read up on it, they are comparing it more to Diablo than an FPS btw.
IMO Politician should have been profession number 10 really. Another non-combat profession could have been interesting, as well as how iconic Politicians are themselves in Star Wars (basically everything that happened in episodes I-III).
That's what I thought, at least I know I'm not totally stupid. Action doesn't always mean FPS, although I'd be for that as well lol.
