Hello!I used to be a DE till I got frusterated with a mineing bug that made me earase my character on bria, but from time to time I come in and read the posts on the thread still. I started up a new character on a different server as a combattant mostly because the current game dosnt do much to support a pure crafter in the field, and its rediculously hard for a new player to start a bisuness without merchent skills. So you cant defend yourself out in the field while trying to get resources or traveling, and there are un countable bugs that the devs ignore in favor of combat oriented characters. But the issue here is why you would get this expansion if you were a crafter. Or a DE or in my case now, a combatant. and I say I probably wont get it because.....

Looking at the new expansion I see only ONE, yes ONE reason so far that has ben announced that makes me a little interested in it and thats a new house. A realy cool house, but thats about it.And its not enough to make me realy want it at this point. I think the 8 passenger skiff just isnt enough to make me pay for it early. Its I belive 29.99 wich is prety expensive for something that you dont get a hard copy of, a manual, a nice box, or anything ells with it. On the plus side though you wont have to drive to the store to get it and with the price of gass, thats I suppose a bonus considering I live way out in the country. We get the planet Mustafar. Yay. Personaly, its not the planet I wanted to see them make, but ok nice.A new planet. Mabey ill get it sinceMustafar would be interesting vewed from space. That would becool I geuss.A new planet with NO space sector. Whaaat?Seeing as space is the only combat a crafter gets realy these days, thats not good.And its not good for me as a combattant because space is my big getaway from ground combat. A new planetgeared toward high end players wich means new plaers comeing in wont beverry well equipedwhen they get there, and crafters probably dont stand a chance outside the star ports. Yea itll be kashyyyk all over again for whatever persentage of craftersthere are in game.So sofar we gotStar ports with no space secotor a planet thats going to be too tough for new players or non combatants, a house (so far the only thing iv sean that was worth anything, but I bet its not craftable by architects) and a skiff you get if you buy this joke of an expansion early.....OH how could I forget! The lava glow stick! YAY! My toons no jedi But wow just what I always wanteda lightsaber that glows like.... lava? I am thinking ofgoing up the FStreeto unlock so I can start up a crafter... thats about as much force as I want realy.Why the hell would I want that even if I was a jedi especialy since every other glow bat is going to have one. New profession...well once again there isnt one. ok fine. I suppose we can live with that. New race? nope. So so far from what SOE has released on this expansion, the one thing iv sean that is realy cool is....a new house. A new house that cant be made by crafters. The rest of it is just a joke. Come to think of it, I wouldnt have even gotten the last expansion if it hadnt ben that it came with JTL and it was cheeper than buying the hard copy of JTL in my area since I was a new player with just the basic game at the time. Im probably going to wate for others to go to mustafar and let me know if its any good. And then if my wifelets me spend 30 bucks for it, I MIGHT get it later.But most likely, Ill probably skip this one. and thats the opinion of a combatant. I cant emagine what crafters think of it. oh wate.... you get schematics.....ones that combatants can get to bring to you. Yea thats motivation to get the darn expansion for you guys.
