Yeah but some perfer to fight, like me. I love the game and the community and do NOT want it screwed up.

I love this game as well, hitting the cancel button just isn't an option for me at this time. I still have hope, bleak it might be but there is hope........

Does anyone have that contact info? If anyone does please post it in here.

  The Icons- Nice, colorful icons were developed for the new and old actions. The artwork is beautiful, but too messy for quick thinking. The majority of player feedback has said that they enjoy the nice icons, but they are too hard to recognize on the fly when you hope to push a button fast. The old two-color icons weren't flashy, but you always knew which attack you were performing with only a slight glance. Many have suggested an option to switch back and forth between new and old icons. SoE recently said there will be no such option in their chat with Stratics when the question was prompted.

  Level System- One of the most unique things about Star Wars Galaxies was the skill-based system. It was a break from the tiring old level system of other RPG's. The CURB introduces a level system to operate along with the Skill System. According to the majority of posts I have read concerning the system, people are the most unhappy with the damper on strategy it creates. There is a penalty to attacking a creature if you have a lesser level than it. The penalty is the same whether you are one level below it or twenty, and it means that the quality of your goods and weapons no longer makes an important difference in combating a harder enemy.

  Crafting- Some of the worst complaining as of late has been from the "Crafting" professions, namely the Armorsmiths, who are directly affected by this change to the system. They claim that the lessened importance of Armor, as well as the lessened control they have over the quality of their armor, takes the fun out of crafting. Essentially, it means that there is no variety- no way to become better than your opponent using strategic means. Eventually the end-game will be having the capped armor with a mastered profession and some nice bonuses, and you're set. So, naturally, hundreds of people will all look, act, and fight the same way, inevitably leading to boredom. Also, crafters find that they cannot fight off the creatures they encounter, making it near impossible to grow their character when they are required to face these creatures daily.

  Graphics- The CURB introduces some very interesting flashy actions performed when your character makes a move. Flashing lights, loud noises, and gunshots that sound nothing like Star Wars. This issue is less about gameplay than it is about Star-Warsy-ness.

  Healing- Prior to the CURB, healing relied on objects called "StimPacks" that were crafted by medics and doctors. Each time a doctor/medic healed someone, it would use one 'use' on the Stimpack. The new CURB system allows healing without stimpacks, making healing seem almost magical- a very non-Star-Warsy element (Unless of course it were a Jedi).
