I noticed this a week or so ago, but am only now getting around to posting it. When you make a new character, no longer are you given a "freebie" stat migration and ticket to your starting planet of choice. You just get shipped off to Mos Eisley with the default stats for your profession.
On the bright side, the city is populated with newbies now.
Looks like they didn't want to mess with letting you migrate your own stats just that 1 time.. probably my fault.. I mentioned that the tutorial says nothing about ID's when it explains stat migration..
Poor newbies have default stats, can't afford a migration, and have no idea what to do until they learn how to use the Knowledge Base or somebody tells them. I bet it even takes awhile for them to realize stat migration exists. If you are feeling bored/generous, stop by Mos Eisley to help people out. They'll be there.

I just got PMed that you can still migrate your own stats if you skip the tutorial. Strange..

Yes, I just created a new character to test this out, and I skipped the tutorial and I was able to migrate.

Furthermore, aren't the default stat settings the appropriate ones for the profession you chose? Why should all newbies suddenly need their stats migrated? Should they want to be able to wear comp armour for instance, my reasoning would be: if they can afford the armour, they can afford a stat migration too.

Because some of us pick starter profs by "which one has the least hideous outfit" or by starter equipment. For example, before the droids that gave you stuff, to start a tailor/dancer I would start out as an "artisan" because I would get a survey device and a crafting tool, which I otherwise would not be able to get. However, realistically, I would want my stats optimized for dancing.

A remark worthy of a Tailor
Still you can change your stats in the planet selection room, the cool female voice still says you can, and her words appear in your chat logs at the bottom. So I feel I'm still justified in asking for payment, even from newbs.

You can still stat migrate even IN the tutorial. Just set it before you jump out and it sticks, or did for me a week or so ago

I made a new char yesterday, cos it was an issue on my galaxy's forum too, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't making a fool of myself. Proved myself right, because you get a free stat migration before the planet loads.

Doh now I remember why I didn't post this before.. I was going to check on this myself. I'd only heard it was true from 2 people. Thanks for clearing it up.
