Some make good points in this thread and all the others but they get lost in all the posts that say "im not rich anymore so the game is broke I cancelled my sub", " Im not rich and if I get creds again I wont buy anything off the GTN so take that" , "sure I was making tons of money slicing but you dont get it, 400k creds is nothing at higher levels."
I think this debate makes it easy to see the players who just want a reasonable crew skill that makes them money without investing alot of crafting time and those who will be buying gold so they can be rich again.
The nerf seems to be a big one but slicing was way out of whack for a gathering skill IMO.
