attn. any devs: (this guy KNOWS what he is typing up! => he is a PLAYER with experience!)

what do you dev. guys think has driven me away from EQ2 back to SWG ? the fantabulous SWG crafting system and the changes SOE made in EQ2 (killing the fun for ALOT of crafters there); dont do the same mistakes in SWG please..........

as a armorer since launch and a DE since the revamp.. over a year now.. i can say he is right on a few points..

first comp is not the be all and end all.. anyone that has gone out solo'n high lvl mobs unbuffed in chitin knows what im talking about : )

the armor system as ive said before is/was great.. it needs tweaking.. it needs adjusting. you dont need to blow up the city just to add a few buldings. Buffs was/is the main problem with the system.. ive been preaching forever that if you removed secondarys doc buffs this game would have been tons better. It would ahve made smiths have to exp on the encum/ham usage and not min/max damage/resist and forget the rest.. god how many times do you need to be hit in the head before you realize that this new CU has major major flaws.. You never fixed the first system.. soo what the heck makes you think this new.. untested system is going to be it?? soo 2 years of friggin beta is not enough?? this CU wont have the buggs worked outta it till christmas and ill take bets right now 50-1 that its not fixed by then..

Everyone i talk to says the crafting is the only reason why they still play.. it certainly is not the content. that has been totally neglected for 2 years.. and now you are screwing with that. why are you messing up the one part of the game that for soo many has been the only thing keeping them around??

gl to you AS, hope you all continue the good fight, although the Devs will not listen to the cries, the CU will go thru like it or not, and the crafting system and SWG economy will feel the effects for many months afterwards.

i have already cancelled my account after they completely nuked crafting docs with their outrageous resource requirements for the new meds, and taking crafting completely out of the profession altogether. my gameplay is destroyed so they (SoE) shall not get any more cash from me.

its a shame what they have done to SwG, but for sure it will not be recognizable when it goes live to anyone that has played the game from beta or day 1 of launch.
