I think swtor wasn't made to be an economic simulation in an scify setting, if you like that you should really try playing EVE (which is great by the way, played it for a long time). This game should be more about the story/lore of Star Wars and less about money gain or grinding. Everyone has money, everyone can buy enough or craft and i think that's actually good and alright.

Here just some numbers: I have 166.837 Creds start 1.) slicing round (3compannions) Mission Cost: 3975, Mission gain: 4675 Creds are at 167,537, i made 700 Creds in 30 mins (oh yeah that's very broken ^^) 2.) slicing round (3compannions) Mission Cost: 3625, Mission gain: 6215 After two slicing runs ive got 169.827 Credits, all in all i got 3290 Credits in 1 Hour I mean seriously why should that be broken in any way what so ever. You can make far far far more money with any other crafting or gathering skill and the AH. In my Point of view it's the worst of the gathering skills at the moment and would need between 10 and 30% more Credit gain at least, even with the occasional critical missions.

In short what does it do (besides story lines) does it effect crafting and if yes, how. Do they get better items from missions or are the timers maybe shorter.

Your anger makes you strong my friend .... No seriously in pvp its more like he is new to pvp in mmos and I played a lot, and yea I think when bioware says that the classes are about the same in dps I hope it's true (dont get me wrong that's not a troll post [they did a great job]). burst dmg omg when he uses all his heat his dmg can spike enormously. When it comes to stealth, yea stealth is nice, but it's not all. My question was are they about equal (if skilled for dps) in killing speed. edit: I suppose you are right the cc is strong, but I thought the other classes would get many cc abilities too later on.

The God Emperor of Mankind... no just kiding i would say Darth Nihilus, he was a wound in the Force and very Powerful

That's true i can't argue with that, but i played with an operative (dps build) and it it felt about the same between those 2 classes when it comes down to dps.

let's say there are 6 opponents same lvl or higher, they are all dead so fast that i cant even kill 2 of them. In Ppp I look at the Health bars i kill my opponents with cc, he just obliterates them. Question is does that change later on ???

I really would like to know if my DPS gets better in comparison to a Bounty Hunter, I play nearly all the time with a BH (Powertech) in pve and pvp at my side. And damn he out dmgs me , sadly he out tanks me too, I have the best equip for my lvl (18) pvp gear and Hammer station stuff. Does this get better or is the assassin just mediocre everywhere but cant shine unless specialized (and if, can she damage any good at all again in comparison to other dps classes ^^). Don't misunderstand me the Assasin is not bad and i have most of the time more kills in pvp then my BH buddy but the dps in pvp and in Pve is just so much higher than my own, i can only get through thanks to CC.

They said you should be able to switch between lvl 10 and 20 but i dont know how. I realy would like to know though ^^
