1. 2 stats. well there goes any nifty builds/experiments. wouldn't doubt the loss of actual subcomponents
2. experimentation. That really doesn't answer it. resources unaffected. Do we get to experiment? Is there such a thing a 10, 11, 12 point smiths.? Or do we just slap resources in and presto barrel is there with damage/range calc by resource quality? no varied experiment results
3. Certs. obviously this will change (again). Since they making this a console game 5 year olds can play. will they remove a ton of weapons? Consolidate them? no wonder we never got any movement on resource bug and all the useless formerly nice looted schems
4. Weapons conversion. Since only 2 stats- LOL what a joke - what about conversions? CU borked formerly sweet weapons. no doubt this will do so too. So much for collecting/saving my pre-nerf BH scopes and scoring/buying/trading awesome cells and tissue for my next 'publish'. To be honest this is my most immediate concern. why build anything right now? maybe i should just hand out my sweetest goods to people and let them use em while they can
5. useage oh yeah, suppose i am a trader (ugh trader, I am a MASTER WEAPONSMITH!) can I use a weapon? can i hold a weapon? can we wear armour? (can we doing anything but paint-by-numbers assembly?)
6. oh yeah #2 s FS skills. useless? ties in with experimentation i suppose
7. okay another one. I suppose it's too much to hope for that crafted will be better than dropped?
seriously, does anyone expect crafting to be anything worth doing? all the engagement, challenge, creativity is gone. I joined this game to be a weaponsmith it's been my main focus the whole time. Do i have combat avatar, yes. Do I have a Jedi yes, but the loss of crafting well that's too much. All that fun/work pre-cu (and some CU) all for naught. to make a smurf-game for people too lazy/stupid/young to figure out and enjoy a diverse engaging environment. HAHAHA i still can barely believe this is happening. Sure i have some combat avatars. I enjoyed that aspect of the game. But i won't be keeping them here either unless I see some serious crafting issues addressed.
I've just cancelled both my accounts. Here's my question:
Does anyone at SOE or Lucas Entertainment evencare?
Basically this change will remove 80% of the existing player base. If this was their goal, then kudos, it worked like a charm.
Okay guys and girls I posted a list of questions now as I do not know how late Ill be home tonight and I wanted it out there if any devs wanted to answer.
You can see the questions here
Please keep posing questions here as I will continue to post then on the Correspondent board.
Thanks

I got logged out of the Forum last night andcouldnt getback in so I didnt get to post further (Would have reserved a post under the first one so I might make a different post when this goes to TC on Friday.
However till then here is a list off the questions we want answered (Taken from what you have posted) Along with the answers we have allready (please bear with me if I have overlooked something and just respost it. I was up late last night and havent slept much)
- How Will Weapon Stats look now?: Tiggs Says: Weapons now have two stats – damage and range. Some select weapons have an elemental damage value added.
- Will we loose our experimentation and need for highend resources?: It doesnt seem so as Tiggs says: Resources will be unaffected by the new game enhancements
- For example, if you are maxed-out at level 80, you will transition over as a level 80 character into your profession of choice. What if we are CL 1?: Tiggs Says: Re-spec is based on combat level (or Skill Point usage in the case of Entertainers and Traders), but we do have some other great incentives for veteran Jedi in recognition of their efforts.
- More loot in forms off armour and weapons combined with no decay how will we get any resale?: No info so Far.
Please post all your questions here Ill try to compile a list to post on the correspondent board when I get home from work tonight.
Oh i have a question for them: On how much CRACK are those devs ???????
5. useage oh yeah, suppose i am a trader (ugh trader, I am a MASTER WEAPONSMITH!) can I use a weapon? can i hold a weapon? can we wear armour? (can we doing anything but paint-by-numbers assembly?)
Traders doesnt draw aggro so Im guessing we wont need weapons and armour (and thus probably wont be aable to equip it either)
oh man i just saw this. hahahah and i though being relegated to my striker pistol was bad. hahahah weaponsmiths that can't hold their weapons. very sad indeed
ahhh so glad I have my screenie of me in comp armour and a laser rifle in the dwb in the day.
on another note, looking at the those questions accumulated I find it would take a positive answer in most of them for me to even want to craft. 2 lines! sheesh.

I'n undecided as to where my farewell will be. Either on Naboo, where I have spent most time crafting in my house by the river, or back on Tatooine where I was born. I still have the WP of my first house although the house itself is long gone. I might just put down a small house, take one last look at the sand and /sit /logout.
I think everyone needs to read the FAQ a little better or I am missing something. The FAQ does not say that there is no item decay, it says that there is no more decay from death.
Quoted
VI. No More Item Decay
Item decay has been completely removed from the game.
Can you explain a little more about how Damage and Decay will work?
This part of the death penalty has been removed from Galaxies.

If you read this for what it says and not just for the title, it only states the highligted and underlined. No more death decay.
I agree, but until they clarify it it could mean both.
The new Mustafarian weapons do not decay at all from use or death....
Why do you believe it is worth shafting crafters who have poured more time into this game than many of the devs. I swear I have played this game, been in-game, posted more, thought more planned more than any dev.
WHY?
Oh yeah.. greed... damn cardinal sins.
I can't help but get the impression this new upgrade was kept from a lot of people at SOE until very recently as well.... I could be wrong, but it doesn't make any sense that they have done and posted certain things if they knew this was happening.
