It seems most of the changes are being made towards combat and professions. How will this new design affect the economy?
Well, items no longer decay, so you'll only need to buy weapons and armor once. The crafters are on there way out, simple as that. SOE has been working at removing them and a few of the other professions for a long time, easier to fix a problem when everyone is the same class (jedi). I don't know about your server but on the ones I play on the economy basically came crashing down when people read about this. No point in grinding for now, no crafting, not much of a reason to play (the ground game anyway, at least JTL is being fuc ked up yet).

Just a heads up that I've edited again; afraid I and Pyro were missinformed about the conversion of SP and CL to the new Class system 
Edit 7:
I have a Master Armorsmith with 4000 Smuggler and some merchant. My CL is only 22, yet ALL 250 points are taken up, will i transfer over as a level 80, or do i need to drop my smuggler and grind out all crafting and dancing xp ?

If you convert to one of the 7 combat professions (Jedi, Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Officer, Spy, Commando or Medic) then you will be level 22. If you convert to Entertainer or Trader then you will get the entire profession.

I just want to know who said slicing was lame. I love slicing and want it to be a big part of our skill set. Slicing means making things illegal which means we'll have more reason to be careful about when and where we're going and who we talk to. It fits right in with smuggling since we could smuggle sliced items for missions. Smugglers are supposed to be able to modify ships and weapons in illegal ways using illegal parts aquired possibly in illegal ways. It's the whole "upper hand" kind of thing smugglers are supposed to have because of their trade. Bottom line is, I think it's a huge mistake to remove slicing from us.

I thought slicing was lame and no fun.
/shrug
But then again, I was in it for the non-existant smuggling...

Well, sliced items are illegal. With the new system coming, we (hopefully) should have a smuggling system. Sliced items are perfect for this don't you think? And I think it's fun to modify weapons and armor.

Yea I know, that's why I posted. I want slicing to stay so I'm hoping Wes will do something to keep it in the game in some form. I can't believe after reading these forums for the past couple years, that the majority of smugglers don't care if slicing is going away. I personally liked the original version of slicing better so I know the current system of looting slicing components kind of sucks, but it can clearly be made better. Like the old In Concept version of slicing that never went in, they can implement something like that. Just because they said slicing is going away, doesn't mean sit on your butt and say "Oh well".

For gods sake its a post in anger, and yes the caps key IS stuck down on my laptop.
Those who cant spell grammar, please return to your own troll holes and never darken my posts with your noobish replies again.
(I am a Teacher,havetwo postgrads,there isno requirement to impress upon you the ability of my writing. Posts made in haste are not subject to grammar or sentence structure if I really cant be bothered to.If you cant understand what I posted, we have special classes for you which we can spend time working on your ability to read. If you can take the time to post a negative post on the post before, you cant take the time to read and inwardly digest it)
Find all posts by me,my contributions ot the community at large have been on the whole positive and constructive.
I have been a smuggler waiting for revamps and being lied to sincethe beginningby SOE.I have a right to be angry and I have a right to blame (partly) soes link with us. i.e. the Smuggler Corr.
I have been not playing the game, since finishing the Wookie quests, and being bitterly dissapointed at being turned into a non smugling slice monkey.
Repeatedly when I do poke my head in here, I have said, How come whingy corrs like those at BH and Jedi get things done, but nothing, REPEAT nothing, ever gets sorted for us.
Great, so we have some good intergeeks in our smuggler community, they help out with spreadsheets, faqs and how to's.That's NOT liasing with the devs about what we want.
Im sorry how much input into the design of this new change, (Which has been in process since last year by all accounts)?
NONE.
Im sorry, are you the smuggler correspondent, and have you actually been consultedas corr ofone of the "NINE" iconic proffessions and how it should play under the new twitch based system?
NO
So all the fanbois, please, understand that this correspondent has failed in his duty to us. Going about kissing ass and generally being the devs mouthpiece is not successul community liason.
In short: i'm right, you are wrong, mini wave in celebration of me, and i couldn't give a flying fack whether you like whatI wrote, how I wrote it,or not.
To all those who wish to take the mickey out of me for a single angry post, good luck to you, I hope it enriched your lives.
