Dear SWTOR,
It has come to my attention that we had a recent update that was released, 1.4 Patch. I was happy with the detailing and information that was provided for us on what was hanged and new. But after the patch, there was another small installment patch that was not explained. I figured that it was just a minor issue or bug fixed and I shrugged it off. But I just found out recently that there was something changed DRASTICALLY!
The MEDIUM ARMOR rating was lowered by 10% to match LIGHT ARMOR. This has caused a serious issue with those that are doing PvE. It is nice to balance out for PvP. But it has caused some issues when fighting with Silvers or Golds.
My friend, lets call him "Frank", and his "Sniper" had nearly 4000 amor and now has dropped to around 3000. That is a huge drop and dealing with Enemies. He is angered by this lowering to balance the match regarding the "Light Armor". And I know for a fact that I am not the only one that is having an issue with this. He has been a member since BETA and a paying customer ever since. If they do not fix this, he is going to leave permanently.
I want to know what the community thinks about this change. And if BioWare is going to get rid of this useless aspect of change. Forcing players to group up is a dictation towards those that enjoy playing the game by themselves. The solo content would no longer be playable unless you need a group to fight NPC's. And therefore would be another useless aspect on the game. Because, I for one will not stand by this change. It hurts us as gamers to even try to play the game. Are you having issues with this, please explain?
