Did I mention how much I DESPISE A-wings?

The whole thrust of where SOE are going is that they intend us to take up a combat profession. Consider the evidence...

1) Only a smth can buy faction armor schematics and they cost faction points.The best way to get them is through combat.

2)Armor crafting has been simplified, good maths and skill tapes won't make your armor 'uber' it will take loot drops. The best way to get them is through combat.

3) Random encounters with one hostles will kill you. The best way to avoidthsi is to havea combat profession.

My opinion is that they want to move us all into taking up combat and to make crafting less and less attractive. This make financial sence since the crafting system probably takes up a disproportinate amount of development resources and can be replaced easily by improving loot drops. Improving loot drops would also be popular with the combat classesas would moving development resources from crafting to producing more quest sytle content.

FYI there is a way around this.... get into a big solo group and your combat lvl will magic up a number of notches....
