I imagine this is his spec, or something very similar http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#201ZfcbMdoruzZcMcRs0z.1

I can't see abuse being a massive issue. They've had it a while on WoW, and aside from the odd mentally challenged player kicking me while I was defending an objective (not AFK) I never saw it abused. I was going to say the easiest way to do it would be to only allow the kicking of "AFK" marked players, but there are players who just "give up" once we start losing, such as going 2-0 down in Huttball or more annoyingly when it's like 500/550 and we have 1 base in Civil War (only noticed this on Republic side though), who just stand to the side waiting to lose rather than try and win. I would very much like to kick these people.

It's their version of the tank talent Backhand. It has the same animation. It is not them using their version of Pommel Strike. I shouted at the computer until I realised this also.

Will there be any enhancements to the "Friend" UI such as allowing the adding of offline characters and the interaction with players currently online but on other servers (Similar to RealID)?
