I read in a recent post where someone advised us to take the time to learn our template, but when it changes with each Publish, how exactly can you learn it and whats the point if it changes down the road?

you cant,ignore the trolls and you'll feel much better
All you can do is adapt. Same thing used to happen in UO, Hallys were the big weapons, then suddenly archery got a boost. Everyone pinned a polar bear behind boxes in their house, and attacked it with a bow equipped an no arrows and ground out archer... A few months later, the magic system got a tweak, and suddenly if you wanted to win you had to have a mage with a hally and use a bug to precast your spells. That gotfixed about a year later, and the whines rivaled any I've seen in this game.
Every time a change came about, there'd be tons of FotM cookie cutters on the boards whining that the game was unplayable, while the good RPG min/maxxers were out finding the new tweaked template. The reason this is so hard to do in Galaxies (for Jedi anyway) is the huge negative exp cap and the sheer volume of exp needed to regrind a template compared to a normal profession. It's possible, but it's alot easier to come complain on the forums.
