Overthinking it; by allowing themselves to feel hopeful they still build up for a fall even if they had foreseen it.

A lot of great things answered, and a lot of scary things too. Dual spec.. disappointing. Cross server queues.. scary. Dual spec will completely take out any impact of choice in that whole area of characters.. I'll have everything I need for every situation on me covered, no longer choosing what's optimal for the task at hand. A bigger concern is cross server. Yes, there are a lot of servers with low population. But just ask yourself: What will this do to my server's community? I can recognize every guild, if not every player when I pvp, and have made more than a few friends on my faction (and nemesis on the other). I remember a time when WoW was like this. Cross server queues slowly destroyed all semblance of server community, and they even had individual server forums for a long time to build it up. I beg you (or anyone else who thinks this is a good idea) to just look at every other game where this has been implemented and look at the results. Faster queues is NOT a good trade for destroying community, and greatly impacts games in the negative.

I used to pvp like you, then I took an Ilum in the knee. Having almost every imperial on my server afk in a day what took me weeks of non stop grinding to get took the drive out completely.. I'm not convinced that they'll get even half the people who did it with the case by case thing. Anyways back on subject.. Armstech's in desperate need of help still .

Currently, there is 0 benefit from having Armstech on a main character, from a self-use perspective. There is nothing to learn which provides comparable bonuses to operation weapons, no improved barrels to outfit the barrel-less weapons found there. Yes, they are adding barrel slots to operation weapons in the future, but this does not mean that Armstech will provide a benefit unless more is added. From a profiteering stand point, I make more money from selling diplomacy materials on the market than I do from selling companion weapons or the occasional level 50 custom weapons. Please buff this crew skill, or I'll be forced to switch to Armormech for the augmented Rakata offset or Biochem for its obvious (even after this latest nerf in the patch notes) benefits in order to optimize my character, because there are certainly no benefits to being Armstech on a main character as it stands.
