We hear all the time and many of us have debated the RL vs "its a Game" concept to death.

I have my 2cents to add on this and the DEVs statement "dont bring a knife to a gun fight" BS.

First THIS is a game not RL. As a game simple logic can be stretched to allow the RL impossible to be in game possible. Are there spaceships? Wookies (ok my uncle is really hair and may pass as one!)

No they do not exsist in RL but we are not playing the SIMS online we are playing SWG were they can use techno gargon to make the improbable happen.

So in RL yes a gun weilding foe will kill an unarmed foe, but in RL one shot is all it takes. do we want a game completely based on one hit kills with NO cloning (cloning as in SWG is not REAL).

This would make the game unplayable, so we create New "laws of Physics" to explain all this and make the game Less like RL and more like the FICTION it is supposed to be based on.

So why cant aTK Master have such highly atuned senses that they can dodge laser fire? "oh thats not consistant with RL!" but taming a Rancor IS?

The Devs agrument is a lazy excuse to hide the simple fact that melee is not a high priority, which is fine they are dealing with a lot but at least be honest and use better logic in your excuses.

Reason for this post is that I have seen this "dont bring a knife to a gun fight" clinche all over the boards and IMHO when used in the context of SWG it just make you look like an unimaginative moron.
