Yes, even devs make mistakes, too sometimes. Can't all be as leet as you.
No, I'm pretty sure it was ignorance. A mistake is putting a 0 in the wrong place, ignorance is asking for a resource that you can't harvest in the game anymore.
*Deep inside the dev offices in Austin*
"Wow, this new wookiee armor has huge horns on it, we should make it require horn!"
"Awesome dude, that's a great idea"
*devs make horn a requirement*
*On the armorsmith forum*
"Umm, guys, you know we can't harvest horn any more, right? Devs? Do any of you actually play the game without blue froggies?"

And you don't think it's possible that someone typed in the wrong requirement for the resource? As many people working on this project as there are and there couldn't be a seemingly simple oversight?
I'm sure they have internal tools that make www.swgcreatures.com look like C-64 covered in duct tape.
Never mind that you would have all be totaly screwed if you couldn't use your old stuff. New hides aren't just going to be expencive. They will be damn rare.

What makes you think you're right??? More likely, story is they came up with an idea, implemented it, saw the feedback, and decided to pull it, however, would they have pulled it without the negative feedback??? I think you should remember your own point, this is beta testing, and things can change yes, but how do they know to change them if we don't tell them. It's obviously something they can do overnight and doesn't make much difference to them.
It's not just about events that happen, you have to know why the events took place and truthfully none of us know...now we're looking at one of two possibilities.
The Devs realized this was a mistake after listening, not to your post about don't panic, but listening to the rants about why this is a bad idea (mostly the threatening of accounts closing), if no one says anything, why would they change?
Or the devs knew they were going to switch back to SR, which then brings the question, why did they do it in the first place. NBA commissioner David Stern right now is harping about putting an age cap on the NBA Draft, he doesn't really care if he gets one or not, but if he makes it seem like it's an important issue, he can give it up as part of negotiations in return for something else. Apply that logic here. The devs look like they're giving something back to us, to keep us focused on this as opposed to the new resources, the increased hides, the simplified crafting. So please, put away the I told you so.
for THOSE OF YOU who are not familar with software developement, it takes testing. this CU isn't a live product yet. The best way SOE is doing it is letting us hamsters have run of the game, then let us Whine and complain about stuff that don't work, and advance on stuff that does work. Heh, software isn't like McDonalds. heck even McDonalds has product testing. as someone else stated, this is only an alpha. if this WAS beta. then I be scared. or applying over at SOE for developer.

For all your Field Protections needs (as well as Reb Master Munitions Crafter ). There was no alpha.*This* is the final beta.

I think we're all aware of the difficulty of planning something like this, however you can see there has been a change in direction and philosophies. Every rant I view as an objection to the new direction. I don't view the developers as mind readers who would know what our opinions are if we don't voice them. In the end they're going to do what they want to do, and hope that more new accounts take the place of accounts lost, because ultimately, in their eyes, that's what will determine whether the upgrade is a success or not.
