Mr. Smedley

This is not a trolling or flame but an honest plea for information. Could you or one of your official developers please tell us crafters what to expect in the near future? Do you want crafters to be a part of SWG or not? Several of the CU changes would indicate that you don't think very well of crafters and believe us to all be spoiled rich hoarders of credits. Why else would you introduce new content that entirely bypasses crafters?

1. RotW are quest rewards and not crafting, making many of our existing ships obsolete.

2. Clone Armor as a quest reward is a slap in the face to armorsmiths who are already feeling hurt by the CU changes.

3. It isextremely difficultto remain a pure crafter and live long enough to make factory or harvester runs.

4. Architects still have unresolved issues from 7 publishes ago.

5. Artisans have lost more schematics than they gained in the RotW.

6. Tailors have not received any new clothes other than Ithorian, which does their non-Ithorian customers no good.

7.The "great" recyclers are broken again and were never really that good in the first place. 200's in all stats means I still hoard those scraps of resources with high stats, which defeats the purpose of introducing something that was meant to clear the database of such things.

8. Crafting Corrospondents have been dropping like flies which smacks of a pogrom against dissenters and detractors.

Could someone official please make a statement to the crafting community? If the official vision is to take the player economy out of SWG, please tell us now so we can either find new professions if we really like SWG or find a new game if we prefer crafting.

I personally feel that SWG has the best crafting system out of any MMO I have ever played. Nothing compares to the level of customization SWG allows in making useful things. Please say something to put our fears to rest and to stop the rumormongering.

Grammar and Spelling do matter!

I find your lack of real world skills disturbing.

Wait--we *lost* schematics? What did we lose?! (Unless you mean the weapon and armor ones that were removed with the CU?)
