It seems like my original post got deleted so here we go agin....
We are getting responces from the web sites and gamer mags that have
been contacted please keep the pressure on and be honest with these
guys dont go in there half cocked ranting be proffessional and ask for a
fair assesment of the situation . The following is an example of one such
letter sent please notice the fact a fair hearing from all the players and fourms
were asked for....
Dear Sir:
I would like to invite you or one of your staff to visit the SOE SWG forums. With the upcoming
Combat Revamp coming the dessent about the change is being swept under the rug. The game we started
with and helped to mold has become very dear to us. We are wanting to protect the integrity of the game
that we were so much a part of yet we are not communicated with about our concerns . Some of these
upcoming changes drastically changes the professions we worked so hard at and every aspect of the things
that seperated SWG from so many other MMORPG's .
The treatment we as paying customers get is appauling they ask for imput but when its submitted its largely
ignored and swept aside . The game has been in beta since day one I guess that why we feel what we have
made out of it is so special too us. They brought in the another developer team from EQ2 to help with the
so called rebalance however not to repair the problem areas but to rebuild the game. How does that make us
feel as paying customers some since the day the game launched or beta .We didnt want or need a rebuild
all we needed was for this system to be fixed which could have been done. At the very least the people in the
know who made the decision to make such a radical change should have at least asked the paying customer
how they felt about it.... before makeing this happen.
Again we have the same problem with them pushing the product out to meet the deadline of EP3 being released.
Again we the paying customer has to deal with bugs and a beta product should we as paying customers expect
better . Better question might be would you ?
Its my deepest hopes you can send someone in and let them start with the armorsmith boards and through out the
proffessions then go to the galaxies and read those and if possible have some go ingame and ask on live how
and what people think about the cu and get a real feeling for the actual players views on the game past and future.
I really feel that it would be a disservice to the entire gameing community and your subscribers to over look the
story there..

I would have not just said the armorsmith boards but the -profession- boards. AS arnt the only ones with gripes about the CU. Sure we've been concentrating on the areas that affect us. But Entertainers, Armorsmiths, BE's, Medics, Combat medics etc have all been vastly changed. We just seem to have raised the most stink. But I think ultimately one profession or another would have.

/agree every board i've looked at is full of negative CU sentiments...

no offense, I agree with what you're doing and saying, but *please* run a spellchecker on any letters such as this before mailing them out to other communities.

People that are content with the game play the game and leave the forums alone. People that have a gripe with the game come to the forums.
I don't think it's fair to judge a game based on forums... with that being said, do they show the results of the exit polls for tc-5 ?

Surprisingly the Chef's haven't picked up the pitchforks yet.

Would be nice to add in the results of each days polls and the quotes from the devs with the very positive feedback crap, I mean why even say that ? It takes like 2 minutes to find the poll and take a look, or is there some hidden board somewhere with all the positive comments 
?
?

Alot of people are also simply not commenting. For example. My guild has started looking to me for the answers to all their armor questions. And they've all taken a wait and see attitude. Because they know I'll raise their concerns as well as mine.
As for chefs not picking up the pitchforks etc. The 2 chefs in my guild poped a look at it. But so far it seems according to them largely unchanged as far as crafting is concerned. Which is probably ultimately all that really matters. Because what ever is a good bonus. Remains a good bonus. Though I can only go by what they've told me.

The crating remains the same. Unfortunately, no tests have become conclusive whether or not the results contain any viable bonus. Basically, wehave the potential situation as AS. We can still make things...but willthose "things" be worth it to the consumer for the amount of credits it takes to make said "things." No one is going to pay 750K for armour that may or may not help them. No one is gonna pay 250K/crate for a "brandy" that will last 5 minutes on a 30 minute stomach.
I cannot imaginejust how difficult it will be for all crafters to obtain resources needed...all of this scares the heck out of me, and the vast majority of theposting-playing public. I just hope someone recognizes this.

Aye. I wasnt trying to imply that they werent worried. Just that they couldnt tell worth a damn right now and decided to sit and wait till testing advanced a little further so they could actually start doing meaninful tests rather than grinding a profession for no real reason.

Bhas did, and was banned.
I think Chefs by and large have no idea what's going to happen.
However, combat is more about 'levels' and groups now, from what I understand, and so the effectivness of food/drink is being reduced. The need just won't be there. And they're changing a lot of the pools, and the tactics.
I think it's safe to say there really isn't any clear idea how it'll turn out, but safe to assume it won't be pleasent.
