If the CU keeps armorsmith the way it is on TC then what will you be doing with your armorsmith? Staying faithful to the brand new armorsmith profession?..Leaving the game totally? Dropping AS and making a WS
? Maby cancel the crafting account and just focus on combat?
I personally have this account a WS/AS so Im prolly going to focus on WS(since 50% of my armorsmith resources where made useless because of the great CU) I will still craft armor for myself and guildmates but I think thats as far as it will go for me. I dont feel like starting a brand new profession when I climbed to the top after a year of resource gathering..Just to have the devs tell me "We want to give new armorsmith a chance"...I worked my butt off to seperate myself from the "average" crafter...Im already rich...So, I was not doing this to make credits(yes, I still liked having them roll in) but I was doing it more because I liked being one of the better armorsmiths on my server..A few of my repeat customers gave me compliments of how great it is that my vendors are always stocked..Or give me compliments on the quality of my products..that is what made me ENJOY this profession..Im not willing to just say" Ohh the devs have thought this out...Im sure it will be good for the game" ...No way will I ever believe SOE thinks things through...This whole game has been a crapshoot...try this..try that...test this...test that...fix this...fix that...ohh screw it lets start from square oneand will will name it "The Combat Upgrade" ...what a JOKE.
I am thinking about dropping AS for a combat profession (gasp).

I've been playing since the beginning, and Im quitting now.
My AS has been cancelled, and Im keeping my alt another month to put my affairs in order before that one also is cancelled.

Been a smith since the start...put up with lots...soe can suck the fun out of an orgy....
Promised my freinds i would give it a shot...ill give it a couple of weeks...
but as of cu live date...Dredd Co on eclipse will be closed till i decide what to do...ive allready stoped gathering resourses that might become uselsess when cu goes live...and im not gathering the new cu stuff cuase if they change it back im still screwed..
I wanted the game to be a challange...not a joke...just give the grinders and jedi the "master now" button and leave me be..
was looking for the combat revamp...not a complete mockery of the crafting proffessions...just put up a blue armor frog...cuase all armor will be the same anyhows...
thanks soe for treating all the veterans who stuck by the game a whiping...it looks like u might just have broken are back..your job here is done..now go away and ruin another game...
This was my first online roleplaying game...i forget what u guys call it..massive online something or other...i love starwars...and thats one of the reasons i hve put up with some of the changes..and i dont regret it so far...but man...this is hard to swallow...im getting the feeling that these roleplaying games are not meant for my type of player..casual who wants the game hard....so when i master somethikng..it means something...not just how many hours it took me to grind it...
sorry for the long post...i really am going to miss all my loyal customers...and i really miss the ones that where driven away long before the cu....
take care all..and i hope this all works out....

I cancelled all 4 of my accounts. I just can't support this game anymore. I don't play it because it it's the best MMOG out there, I play it because it's Star Wars and the crafting system is the best in any game out there right now. In my opinion, the revamp has ruined crafting and is so dumbed down it's not even fun anymore.
The defining attributes of the game are the combat queue, the HAM system, and professions. Not only are attacks now aimed at specific HAM pools, but entire professions center around them...after the revamp you are either melee or ranged, it won't matter what skin your weapon happens to have on it since everything will be 'balanced.'
If SOE really thinks they can be MMOG_MODE_DEFAULT and compete with other games having their questionable-at-best development and support staff, they are in for a hard lesson in the coming months. It's too bad, I love SWG aside from the obvious problem, that really wouldn't be very hard to fix.

It kinda depends which way my guild goes at this point. We have quite a few TK in guild more may go that way just to aviod armor. Space is my great love from the movies so I will likely remain a Shipwright and in the game but if alot of my friends go I am not looking for a new guild I will just keep in touch with the old gang on yahoo or AIM.

It would if they cared, but they don't ....
When all the would-be Politicians left the game because of how they screwed the Cities pooch, they didn't care ...
When 99% of the veteran CH's left the game because of how they screwed the CH pooch, they didn't care ...
When most of the veteran PvP'ers left because of how they screwed the combat pooch, they didn't care ...
When most of the people who loved the fact that Jedi would be rare but powerful left the game in the post-Holocron Jedi fiasco, they didn't care .....
Their guiding principle on customers is: "There will always be more where they came from ... they don't REALLY know what they want, but we do." The CU is just more of that inane philosophy, writ larger than ever.

I've been playing SWG too long to just up and quit. I'll give the CU a chance. If it's not too my liking, I may cancelone or twoof my accounts, take up SW and fly around in space until that gets boring (space mining sounds interesting, but it would probably get old fast).
But I'm really, really hoping they make enough changes before going liveto keep crafting viable and interesting.

Well I'll defintely be cancelling my AS, my main toon is going to see "what happens". If they fix anything maybe I'll stay, I'm just tired of the run-around and deciet from the dev's and SOE!
If they promised me a gem and sold me a lemon, I would seek litigation. Oh yeah there's the Sony Online License Agreement that prevents that. 8(
Sad part is, I'm going to miss a lot of friends very much.

I have already cancelled all 3 accounts. I will not re-up them if the CU goes live. I spent too much time learning the professoins I have mastered to take this kill-the-crafting abomination and pay them for it. Too bad, I have loved SWG and have made some wonderful friends.

I can't say exactly... I'll probably be cancelling, but I want to see the glow of the fires of the server when CU hits, and all those positive feedbacks reach a climax of approval *smirk* I hope the devs stop taking drugs soon... its not good for them.
