it's a hot subject, I'm glad we can all keep our heads cool, (comapred to the jedi at least...) but one more thing:
the devs said that "The best LVA pre-CU will still be the best LVA post-CU" most of you are gaining the thought that they said the best post-CU but they were just aiming that statement to all professions not just us. so basically they have not broken any promises

No, that's quite wrong. Our Vibrolances and Energy Lances can all get potentially as good as those 800-max Powerhammers are converting, give or take a VERY little bit. We will not have a problem getting good weaponry.. its just gonna be on par with other master-level weapons. Our 1000+ max damage LVAs will probably be great compared to other Tier III level weapons.. and god forbid we no longer be able to buy our way out of a fight just cause some of us can afford a 40 million credit weapon and the opponent cannot.

it's called character development in a RPG where you get better and better equipmentit's how you define your character over the other. In your example do you think those 40million credit's were easilly attained. I want the dev's to stick to what they said what was great before will be great after. And i don't mean by an extra 10dps when i was 5* norm, pull me down to 2-3* the dps standard crafted stuff. Give us some benefit of exceptional equipment.
I agree.
Problem is that the Devs dont care.
Ya wat was all that bs that if you have the best wep in its class now it will be the best after the cu.. Bunch of bs my uber 1296lva gone to 733 yay!

Uber weapons were killing PvP and causing major kill-stealing and loot-hoarding stupidity in PvE.
High damage weapons didn't become a big problem until the ADK's. After that the exceptional T21s came out of hiding and were used like it was 1999. It was always DOTs which completely sucked ass.
The problem with high-damage Pikemen weapons, versus virtually all other high-damage weapons, is that ours were looted, whereas the other professions just used loot components. It was pretty maddening to have a WS alt, yet not use a weapon of my own making for Pikeman.

You just answered your own implied question. 733 is much better than what any of my LVAs converted to.
