You miss my point. Why screw with the crafting side of the Doctor profession at all? Why is this needed? Why should we need to depend on yet another class to be what are Master tag says we are, a doctor. Where is it necessary to change this part of the profession and the game to begin with?

Because the game is changing. There are no wounds other than health so that's like 18 schems gone right there. All buffing is changing, really being removed completely and changed to something else so 18 more gone. Point is buffs break the game, they are being removed to be replaced by something else. We would be a completely useless class if we did not change with the game along with it.

I realize that buffs have broken this game, and agree that they do need this change done. So they remove some schemes from the crafting tree, I can live with that. So that tree becomes less important, and mostly empty. Seen some of the trees in other professions? Anyone? Lots of empty uselessness going on there.

I see that happening even if we do change.

The game needs tweaking in most areasand changed in some, not a complete reworking imho. I will try to change with this changing game, but when the changes remove half of the reason I play.....I will not be playing anymore. Pretty simple. Games are played for fun, so far (year and a half almost 2 now) I have had fun almost everytime I play.

I have just never seen a game company completely change a game and it's mechanics, as they are doing, after the game has been established for more than a year. I do not hold hope.

While I would be sad to see anyone go you need to be where ever you are having the most fun. Understand the crafting will be possible, you just need some BE, so the question are you willing to take a little BE?

The CM correspondant told the CM flat out, all crafting to going to BE. So I truely hope that they will not bog down BE completely with 3 professions worth of crafting (Doc/BE/CM) and continue to hope that Doc meds drop to Medical doc. Hoping in vain I'm sure but still...

lol, just setting around here thinking about this all again. Heres what I came up with.

SOE setting in there office.

SOE: Hmmm, the game we have created has overpowered buffs, armor with too high of an effectiveness and weapons that are too powerful resulting in mobs being eliminated too quickly by individuals.

SOE: sets there for a minute thinking and comes up with a "brilliant" solution.

SOE: I know lets give people tradeable anti-decay-kits so they can now make these pieces of armor and weapons indestructible. In effect letting them place PUP's on em to their hearts content...

SOE: Now that wehave done this lets compensate buy nuking a few professions. WOOT!!! Hurray for me and skrew you...

Thanks for ummm... contrubuting that...

oh well, guess I'm just bitter. Yes this is a video game. But for some it is a hobby and a hobby that we are passionate about. For SOE it is a money making business running endeavor. Take the tools away from the sculptor and tell him to become a painter and they will become equally as upset.

More accurately:

Make it so sculpting never existed. And you are given to choice to learn Painting for free instantly.

Seems reasonable. Still able to create still able to put your voice into physical form. Better than nothing.

but this is a MMORPG not a Single Player Game. <<<<< this does not mean that mmorpg has to be a group thing... god! wish people would understand that. masive mutiplayer online role playing game.... not masive group online role playing game.. the name does mean GROUP

---

Just to prove a point I looked up Group and Multiplayer...here is what I came up with.

---

Main Entry: Group
1 : two or more figures forming a complete unit in a composition
2 a : a number of individuals assembled together or having some unifying relationship b : an assemblage of objects regarded as a unit c (1) : a military unit consisting of a headquarters and attached battalions (2) : a unit of the U.S. Air Force higher than a squadron and lower than a wing
3 a : an assemblage of related organisms -- often used to avoid taxonomic connotations when the kind or degree of relationship is not clearly defined b (1) : two or more atoms joined together or sometimes a single atom forming part of a molecule; especially : FUNCTIONAL GROUP <a methyl group> (2) : an assemblage of elements forming one of the vertical columns of the periodic table c : a stratigraphic division comprising rocks deposited during an era
4 : a mathematical set that is closed under a binary associative operation, contains an identity element, and has an inverse for every element

---

Main Entry: Multiplayer
1 : A mode of game in which the primary aspect is to compete against one or more human players.

---

The definition of Multiplayer is the best...."PRIMARY ASPECTS"....which mean some/most but not all. The CU is not forcing "Groups"....It's encouraging it. You will still be able to solo, but you won't be able to solo everything that you can solo today.

So now that you know what Group and Multiplayer actually means according to Websters....maybe now you can understand what SOE is doing, and why a lot of people want that type of interaction in a "MULTIPLAYER" game. This is not KOTOR or SW Cammado (Both awesome games might I add).
