Thunderheart,
The Ranger profession continues to have issues despite past "Vague" responses and has only been made worse by essentiallytaking the only adequate benefit of creature harvesting and allowing nearly everyone through the use of a droid to achieve near Ranger-like results. Mayhap you would come and post something directly on the Ranger forum. Essentially it "appears" that since August 2003 the Ranger profession has become defunct with no real improvements or those improvements that have been made have been broken, ie. Camouflage. You already know the Camping issues and trapping issues. Lets see that leaves one skill line in the profession Tracking which includes creature harvesting. Droids have that now and tracking is "pooched" as well.
Thank you
Please, Please Please make Mandalorian Armor only worn by MASTERS in those professions?? Make it so that only a few of us can wear it, not just get a novice box and wear it...
Masters only!!!!!

WHAT?!? it's a joke?
have you seen the movie? do you know expand universe?
mandalorian armor must be for BH only, else, in 1 month, we can see mandalorian everywhere...
i'm commando, and i prefere not seeing all other commando wearing this famous armor...
only mCH have rancor, and it's more immersive if only mBH have mandalorian armor.
if someone want to create droid, he must become DE
if someone want tame rancor, he must become CH
if someone want wear wookie armor, he must become wookie
if someone want wear mandalorian armor, HE MUST BECOME MASTER BH
if a rebel want wear imperial armor : an error message says : you must be imperial over and declared...
it's may be the even thing with armor mandalorian: you must be master CH
i don't want seeing TKA/commando (the ubber proffession) with this FAMOUS armor, it's not immersive !!!
i'm a FAN of starwars and when i see this announce, i don't believe IT !!! i'm very disapointed
mandalorian armor is very uncommon, in theExtend Universeonly boba fett have this ancient armor, and i congratulate SWG who make this ancient uncommun armor, a new fashion armor ..... ( very very immersive )
notice : and a special congratulation for certif of ranger and squad leader, it's a good way to render more attractive this proffession... it's really whatsoever
Ok
WELL the devs decided .yes we must agree their decision to certifie the mandolarian armor to bbbbbbbounty hunter, euu ....sqaud leader,,,,euuuu commando ,,,,,hmmm, ok .
What ranger ? lol
Sorry devs I want the meditation tree (tka) and want to buff myself , and want a light saber , well what .
I m player so you must do what customers asks .
Every player should be able to have his fs unlocked (that s real marketing )
It is a tought Job TH, but your answers are well done considering the situation.
I think you all are on the right path, but I hope you are more willing to share your conclusions with the community before implimenting so we don't end up with another "holo chasing" desaster!!
Keep up the goodwork!!

There is one thing that is ruining this game and need to be revamped not prfessions... And this thing is named buffs.
Why?
Cause me (and many other ppl) can do for example this SOLO:
- clean whole Geo cave
- clean whole NS stronghold
- kill rancor lair in 2 minutes
- kill 10 pickets in 20s
- face almost every monster in game
and all this mean u can earnl loads of money in several hours of playing
Imagine situation withou buffs or not so strong buffs.
U have to group with other ppl and cooperate. So every (combat) profession could be more usefull and funny to do without grind. U have to choose which armor u can use = u can be usefull as low level armorsmith = u have chance to sell yours goods (so craft professions could be more usefull). U have to use more tactics and choose which special attacks u can use in combat.
So don't waste your time and buy composite, best weapon with hightest damage and get yours buff for 15k (or for free if u are MDOC) and be SUPERHERO for hours....(((

Excuse me, but this is what makes the game fun, trying to be the best at what you try and try to get the best equipment possible.
If buffs are nerfed/removed you can still be the best at what you do and you can still get the best possible equipment. BUT you wont be as powerfull as beffore and neither will everyone else and there will no longer be a best armor or weapon, you will have to think about what you use because things like ham cost will be important again.
Nerfing buffs is not an option.
Yes it is, just not an option you like.
You go ahead and be killed by a butterfly or a durni, but I'd rather not!
Why dont you try and play without buffs for a bit? its a lot of fun once you adjust to it.
And you should also realise that alot of the high end content is meant to be done WITH buffs. If you don't believe this, I kindly invite you to go with your group of 10 to the corvette unbuffed and with your 'preferred' armor (not composite as that is too heavy), and we'll see how long your group lasts.
The high end content was put in because people with buffs found the game to be too easy.
I kindly invite you to take a look at Arem's armor shop in New Hamburg on Tat in the Chimera galaxey, she has a range of ultra light composit armor with around 50% resists and a HAM cost so low that a non-buffed charicter can put it on. What is not possible without buffs is 80%+ comp armor, that can only be a good thing in my mind.
And high level content should not be done by armorsmiths or whatever crafters. There is such a thing as combat characters for that.
What has this got to do with anything?
High level combat content should be done by combat charicters, but there is more than combat to this game. Or perhaps you think that the RSI armor quest (High level content) should only be avalable to combat charicters.
