thank you to those that are not suffering from elitist jerk syndrom. I thought this was a solid suggestion of not making subs pay extra for what they are already paying for. As for those trolling please do it some place else

Am i the only one that feels like subscribers shouldn't have to pay for new chiss/human customization options and the Cather race. I mean i have been paying since launch and have payed $435 in subscription fees alone for the past 29 months. not to mention at least $50 in cartel coins and $10 on RotHC. I'm not saying i want these options but give subscribers their dues. We all don't want to spend extra money for a game we are already paying you for.

So everyone knows the gear crew skills (armormech, armstech, and synthweaving) are pretty much useless due to how easy it is to get good gear through simple questing and flash points where you almost always get orange drops from each boss. So i thought of remedy to this problem without causing a mass chaos of everyone's gear being obsolete. Its simple, treat all mods like augments. Each mod slot only goes up to a specific mod level, so this being said these crew skills could make new kits to increase the level of mods you could use. Also, increase the amount of orange recipes (or make them discoverable after reverse engineering a purple item with a 5%-10% discovery chance) and allow players to reverse engineer these orange items to attempt to discover "Highly Modifiable" versions of this gear (with a 5%-10% discovery chance), giving them one additional armor,mod, or enhancement slot. These of coarse should not be BoP to increase these crew skills worth on the GTN. Does anyone think this is a good idea? I know it may need some tweaking, but it seems like it is a very solid base to help players who want these crew skills so badly but don't have much use for them throughout the gaming experience.

i agree with you i wish crafting in this game actually meant something and was worth while. the only real crafts worth having is cybertech and bio
