While this is not my profession, i noticed this through my usual rummaging through professions of interest. Let me say that profession concept means nothing. What the developers want the profession roles in the game to be never work the way they say. Do not expect their concept for Squad Leader to be what it actually is. Give it a chance, you may still love it.

Well, I dropped to 0404 and could go no more. I ran back to my armory, grabbed the Tchotchee, the E5 and the Dawnsorrow and am now using the Tchotchee to grind back up to Master. I got back to 2414 before logging out.
It's too much a part of Drevin's character now. Turning him from SL felt like I wronged him. For some reason he would randomly /frown after I started dropping the skills. I will just have to face the reality of these new changes being sent our way and learn to adapt.
Don't lock the door to the Officer's Club just yet Alien. I can tell I am going to need a stiff drink.....in fact....next round for everyone is on me!

He speaks much wisdom this one does. The Dev concept and what Players make of the Profession are normally vastly different. How often do you see a Rifleman going prone, taking cover, and sniping away into a battle? Not as often as the Devs thought they would. SL will become what we the players make it using the tools the Devs have given us.

This is exactly the reason why i dislike the concept the way it is set up at the moment. It screams "exploint me" from one end to the other and has no failsave against that installed yet. 
I really hope thatwe can see some changes when it returns to testcenter...

I'm sorry to see you go but I can understand your reasons. I've been tempted to leave but for an entirely different reason, which would to try out some of the melee classes for a while then come back. Hope things work out and please stop by sometime.
