The profession as a whole is more fun now. The cantinas aren't as full of AFK zombies, although there are still a few FS grinders. There isn't near as much spam in the cantinas. There are no "buff plz" shouts anymore. You can RP and enjoy yourself much more now. Also our functions work and are not nearly as bugged or flakey as the combat professions. We also don't lag out the universe with cute graphics every time we do a flourish like combat specials do now. It is nice to know we aren't based on fantasy magic spells like the rest of the SWG universe has become. Oh and when my combat toon gets ready to club a mob with his rifle butt his arm's motor starts winding up. It is an interesting sound for a muscular action.

Lyte,

I do agree that it has gotten better, however......

• There are almost as many AFK level grinders as before, and thta may increse as more people get frustrated with the pace of XP.


• There is the same amount of "invite me" "ents need tips" and "watch me so I can heal you" spam as before...and again that may increase with player frustration. Yes the buffbot spam is gone, but that was usually one charachter name or a couple and I Ignored them quickly.


• People do still should "Buff Plz" and obvious Non-entertainers shouting "Invite". This will go away and soon I hope, but every time I have played since the CU went live there has been at least one person if not many who A) didn't know that mind buffs were gone andB) has no concept about inspires. Its not like the fact was well documented in patch notes.


• Yes our functions are not nearly as bugged or as flaky as combat professions, but seeing as though we have a net loss of functions, that's not much of a real achievement.


• Yes we are not NOW based on fantasy spells like the rest of the universe....we are based on the fantasy spells that we have ALWAYS been based.

There is improvement in many individualthings, however I do not see the CU as a NET improvement to the profession. I still see it as a reduction.
