That's not a bug. That's a dumb mistake.

why is there a delay outside of combat when taking armor on and off?? where is the balance problem with this when you are NOT in combat??
The 3 second delay during combat was put in because of the armor and weapon equipping macros. Some of the problems associated with "instant armor" areinstances like theJedi "armor macro" wherebya Jedi could press a single toolbar button that would unequip all of their armor instantly, allow the to then use their force powers and then press that button again and re-equip all of their armor instantly. There are other situations in the game where players were getting unfair heals and weapon advantages because of this.
Bounty Hunters have a particular pain with this because it hamstrings some of their most effective combos. There are other examples of this as well, but the change was necessary. The other aspect to this is that players were using these macros to compenasate for certain combat shortfalls. The right answer for the game is to address those things in the combat balance.
You nerfed us all for Jedi? Sheesh.
In addiotion I have found that alot of people are unable to see the lair at all.

Too bad, it used to be in publish 9.1...Well better late than never! Is there an ETA on the 3rd Wookiee armor?

TH,
Hasn't the Jedi aspect of the "instant armor" been rendered moot? My understanding is that Jedi are now unable to wear armor or would their robes be considered armor. I realize that there may be other issues that you are looking at as well like swapping DOT weapons and stacking them. Could there be a more effective solution here such as applying a DOT timer instead of an equip timer?
I am A BH with my alt and as you stated it does hamstring my most effective combos like sticking a bleed or a knockdown on a target and swapping to my LLC.
And to your last statement about the right answer, are you saying that you guys are looking at the unintended effects of this and are considering reviewing the delay timers a bit more closely?
