It's too bad the powers that be didn't listen your interview on the Galaxy Report, you had and have a lot of insight./pillow
someone listened to that? wow. I can hardly remember what I said, and I almost forgot I did that interview at all. I seem to recall that it was fun.

What Iakimo just said.
Absolutely, devastatingly on target.
The CL system MUST GO!
And take the "hate" system with it.
Thanks for the complimentary nod, Tazz.
I can kind of understand the rationale behind why the Hate system was put into place: It's an attempt to simulate some sort of analytical ability on the part of the MObs, although it is simplistic and annoying. But hey, at least I can see some sort of rational behind it. I just cannot see any such logic for the level-based modifier system, other than the fact that the CEO of SWG is a refugee from Ultima Online, and he thinks a RPG 'has' to have a level-based system, if for no other reason than that 'everyone else has always done it this way.'

After a self imposed exile into troll-only mode, I feel compelled to say thank you to you Lam. I must say you have been a wonderul source of information as well as a truely heart spoken one. A lack of your insights and indepth explainations will become a void in this here forum. I can only hope that the next person to fill the role will also be able to fill your shoes...
I'm sure you will be missed here as well as in the cloner.
fair well
This made me smile. I've also pretty much been in troll-only mode. I took a couple of months off from the game (and saved myself a few bucks by not paying a subscription fee). I came back in hopes of finding BE fun and playable again, since BE is why I purchased the game 2 1/2 years ago.
I've cancelled again in light that nothing has changed. In some ways it's actually worse.
Lam, you were a very good choice for BE correspondent. Unfortunately you found out why Arthur and NancyJ were so disillusioned after their stint at the job. It doesn't surprise me to see the correspondents leave the game after their time of duty is finished.
You're right about the CU. The game is very gated now. If you don't have a CL80 combatant there is no reason to purchase the expansions, unless you enjoy the inside of the cloners. The game has become very biased toward combatants. I can understand the CL requirements but CL and skill based mechanics don't mix. had the developers divided the two (offering enough skill points to master one crafting class or dabble in a few crafting classes, and offering seperate skill points of master one combat class or dabble in a few combat classes) the game would be very different andmore enjoyable. Gates are removed as a player advances in a combat class and has the opportunity to engage in the economics of the game by crafting items.I believe many of us that have left or are leaving would not be doing so if this sort of system were implemented.
It makes me sad to think such a fun game has deteriorated into this mess we call SWG. 
Hylidex, that was beautiful ... /cry (suspect Lammie's new girlfriend might have something to say about the keep going anyway you can advice tho).
Dor
Take care lammergeier... you were always fighting the good fight and I share many of your views (especially regarding creatures). Hope your future is bright and thanks for all you've done (and tried to do)!
Well, Lamm, I was as astonished as everyone else when they brought out the level system. For awhile I thought it was some sort of bug, and the numbers would disappear in a future patch. Unfortunately it’s one of those "working as intended" things. When I think about it the really unfortunate thing is the loss of so many great people.
A few funny Lammergier links.

Worst BE ever
You were always were one to lend a hand to people on this forum even before you became correspondent. Furthermore, You did an excellent job holding things together during the CURB transition, and you will be missed.
