Not the point Max. Because the game is SO competitive templates become mandatory. Look at PvP. FotM is barely a choice. If you want to compete you have to have one of a handful of templates.


Without being FS you won't be ABLE to compete in the market, and so, in essence, this could concieveably CHOSE your template for you. Do you want that?


I"m not complaining that the game is competitive. Competitive is fine. Competitive is good. But the devs aren't thinking HARD enough about that aspect and giving us trump cards that force EVERYONE to have the same hand or they can't compete, taking the diversity out of having so many templates to choose from. Such is part of why we're having a Combat Balance and Revamp. To remove such things AS FotM. This change will force people to be FS to compete in the market, if it does indeed do what it says it does.


This isn't about too competitive. This is about not managing that competition.

"In my experience, there is no such thing as luck"


I suppose it is possible, thought this wouldnt be a popular view, that the Devs are sort of "Star Wars Fundamentalists", taking this single line from canon and focusing on it completely as a definitive definition of how "luck" works- there is no luck. If I were to take Obi-wan's remark as an absolute definition of the the workings of the universe in the Star Wars genre, then all Han's luck, and all our luck, would be nothingless than the will of the Force. A smuggler who took great risks and never liked to know the odds would be in fact putting their "trust in the force" to "guide" them through, say, an asteroid field.


I am not by any means saying that I agree with this kind of view, but it is possible, no matter how unpopular, that this is in fact the view of the Developers, or even that of Lucas. This would mean that Han Solo wasn't "lucky", the infamous Solo "luck" that ran through his family and that famous and ever infallable "I have a bad feeling about this" would in fact be a manifestation of heightened sences through Force Sensitivity... I hope I'm wrong and this is actually just a case of the Jedi getting love first, and us smugglers later.

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!
