Hey guys, I know I haven't said much over the past few months, some of you might remember me, other might know even know who the hell I am, lol, either way, that's good. Back a few months ago there was a group of us that always posted on here. Most the time contructive, and some of the times, we raised hell. But we did our best to do what we could and voice our opinions. There was Tivo, Skypreacher, Pluto, Maestro, Ahkn, and myself.
Tivo took off prior to the launch of JTL, Preacher, Maestro and Pluto not long after the launch of that expansion. I've seen Ahkn on here post from time to time, me, I stopped posting, with the exception of maybe a tid bit here and there, and a couple humerous quips, but mainly just read.
I started this profession a ways back, had a wookiee named Wallach. Back right after the frirst "adjustment" on CH, back before Wookiees could wear armor and back when you could get double xp for using 2 pets. Good times. I could have a pet take out most the lair with out me having to squeeze off too many shots. Was a great profession.
Then buffs became stronger, armor better, weapons more powerful. The Devs decided to do some "fine tuning" to the game. No worries, I couldn't hang with the faction battles anymore, but I still could do something most professions couldn't, hunt PvE with out armor or buffs. When I moved my toon to be Khales, a human, I would hang out on dantooine, letting my BE Rancor solo a Grual Mauler while I would be with out enhancements or protection, just whaping the Graul with HeadHit3 with my power hammer. Very fun.
I enjoyed this profession a lot. Main thing that kept me with this game, even after the adustments. It was more of the thrill of the vurtiral hunt. You would be running along, radar full of read and that one little yellow dot would taunt ya. Your buffs just dropped but you would still hop off your bike, take a shot of brandy, can of jawa bear, eat some almond crunchy-chews, done that shirt of MaskScent/Taming and wade in, for that one last tame before going to bed. Then you would spend the next hour running back there to get the tame after you had to clone for your maskscent breaking. 
Unfortunatly, with the current events, things just don't seem the same. I went hunting with Hulk and Syberia (twin graul maulers, same lair, same spawn) and took on a swamp humbaba lair. Hulk was almost taken out, and Syberia just couldn't hold the agro when I started opening up with my carbine. I spent most the time running as not to get dropped as I attacked. I attempted to utilize my specials, but unfortunatly, my friends had forgotten how to use them.
Please, don't get me wrong, I am not against the CURB, and I'm not gonna bash it. I belive that armor had to be retinkered, and buffs lowered as well as DOTs to be tamed. And the cool down timer doesn't bother me at all, this is acomming thing in most MMOs. It was insaine that you could goto a lair, spam your strongest attack, then get more missions and be out there to get more money in a matter of minutes. But with the "adjustment" to our pets, it made it so the only diversity is the skin and the level, other than that, they are all the same.
I've read where some have come up with stradigies on how to handle the agro, and that pet stims are working now, and everything else, but the fun in the profession, the only profession I liked, is gone, at least for me. So I guess I have to say, I'm leaving the game, and the only reason I am even mentioning it is cause I have respect for everyone in this game that dared to enter the "trade."
I know most of you are looking at this and saying, "Great, another good bye flame," and yeah, with most posts of people leaving, that's what you get. Not this time, as I said, I respect you guys in the trade too much to do that. I'm not gonna say the CURB sucks, or that the game sucks, cause honestly, I've had fun with the game and as I stated above, I believe most the ideas are good. Unfortunatly, it's not really for me, apparently.
At this point, with a kid on the way, I don't know if I"m moving to another game or just dropping it all together. I have one in mind, but I"m not gonna sit here and preach about how terrible SWG has gotten and you could all move to game "XYZ." There's enough of that. If anyone wants to know, send me a PM or contact me in game on ShadowFire or Intrepid as Walle Deabi.
I've always been a firm believer of, "If you don't like it, don't spend your money on it, cause it's a waste of money if all you're gonna do is complain." I've said to many people, and right now, it's time for me to follow my own advice. It's just not fun for ME anymore, but I'm not gonna bash it if others still enjoy it, cause you have a right to enjoy the game and not see flame after flame after flame.
I do have a few pets that if any CH on Shadowfire wants them, they are nothing spetacular, just simple animals in my stable.
Hulk and Syberia Twin natural tamed Graul Maulers
Razor BE Razor Cat
Gurrcat BE Gurcatt
Stiltz Savage Humbaba already mounted
And a level 47 dewback, still not named.
That's about it, other than my probot, which are a credit a dozen.
So, guys, if you are having fun, stick with it and enjoy. Me, I'll just be forgotten in the folds of the game, hell, probably already forgotten right now, lol. But either way, I leave you guys with these 2 bits of advice.
1) Play what you want cause you love it, Don't play just because everyone else is playing it.
and
2) Don't sweat the petty things and Don't pet the sweaty things (and being CH, this is hard not to do. lol)
Hasta guys, I'm outta here.....

Take care... hopefully they iron out all the issues before too long, maybe it will be fun again. CH needs some serious love and attention, moreso than ever now.
Very sad to see another familiar name close the stable door. You'll be missed Wallach.

wally man, it has been a long strange trip. you have busted my chops when they needed. you have been there to support CH all along. i have you on my aim list so there will be more times ahead.
i cannot help but shake my head wondering where all the astromech stats are to support this nerf. and all the promises that we would not be gutted without talking to the community.

Seems strange to see a post like this when someone masters CH on the same day and actually has some fun with it. As with all combat profs there are naturally flaws that need fixing but much to my surprise a combination of a CL39 and CL18 (both BE ) pet worked very well against a CL55 voritor. Sure my carbine pealed off the mob eventually and I'd have to kite ( seems to be an issue with armour - didn't seem to see any mitigation ) but it wasn't TOO bad, small tweaks to a pets hate generation and I think they'll tank quite well.
Need to get a CL30ish pet to go with the 39 and I'm sure they'll help me out a lot against a CL62ish mob, suspect althought 18 did very well she might struggle against higher levels. I fully expected a pack to work badly but in fact I think the reverse is true thanks, in part, to the damage scaling, which I don't agree with but in this case works in our favour.
Anyway I just felt a need to post, goodluck in the future.

I haven't forgotten you, Wallach. Farewell...
PS. I am not renewing for May. Sadly I am saying goodbye to my pets and this game also...

I am sorry for getting to this post so late, I got distracted by recent events but always intended to write you.
You are one of the good guys in my book.
You will be missed.
So many people will gone soon. :-(
I wonder what this forum will be like in a year.
It's like the old star trek episodes being repllaced by the next generation lol.
I hope they do as well as those who came before them. I'l be gone myself come September
Goin peace my friend.
