Astromech stats show that BE has moved down 6 places in popularity...

Old Skool Astromech stats

Skool Astromech Stats

Funny how my new main profession has also moved down a place to 2nd bottom

Interesting how they didn't put down the percentages this time...would have been nice to truly compare them (Infact it would have been nice for the Astromech to have numbers for the total too, so we can work out how many players each percentile contains.)

I *personally* blame the crap pet system, and a lot of dissolusioned BE/Docs who dislike the way the meds are now...

What I find interesting is that pretty much every profession that has had a major "revamp" is now at the very bottom of the barrel, and arguably much worse off then before their revamp. This includes BE, DE, chef and musician. What does that say about their "improvements"?

hehe..well, the CU drove a LOT of the old BE's (I'm one of them) out of the BE profession. The chef revamp drove chefs out which lessened the need for BE's....the great pet crafting nerf drove BE's out.....


Only thing that brought BE's in was the stim market with the Doc crafting nerf.....


(sigh)...I hardly bother to log in lately. Only my friends keep me in the game....just waiting for that nerf

Well I log in on my Chef alt, but I no longer have pet crafting skills, nor do I need them...Im keeping my token respec as long as I can in case something changes, but I really don't see the point in pet crafting.

I don't bother to log in my jedi to grind...its boring, and I don't find taking 5 mins to kill one critter enjoyable. At least Pre CURB, you felt like u were doing some damage.

I don't advocate going back to PreCURB with it's unbalancing Non-CH pets...but I do advocate allowing BES to make specialised pets. I would like wild pets to have good overall stats, and BEs to be able to pick and mix those stats into a pet with strengths and weaknesses...at the moment there is very little to recommend a BE pet that costs money, over a wild pet thats free...and even if there was, the system based on CL is so basic as to be a joke now...after level, pretty much all that matters is how much health and dmg you can pull out of it...and that limits you to very few donors.

Cameback from several weeks vacation and felt even more shafted with the last 2 publishes. No more desire left to play..... Will see how long that lasts, 1 week of home and no SWG and running....


Having DEs, SLs, and rangers as less popular is kinda unsurprising. Having image designers pass us is kinda harsh tho.

I don't know Image designers are still ahead of us thats pretty bad!!! I understand Ranger and squadleader as both have been so badly borked that its not worth it to have them right now.
