I agree with you dude its such a stupid idea. People can argue mechanics and ease of switching roles all they want.
Fact of the matter is, this destroys the uniqueness and identity of classes. I was absolutely DUMBFOUNDED when I seen this. I've been playing this game for a while now and I hate the fact they are doing this to the game.
Its going to look like such a mishmashed clusterf*** seeing smugglers using fusion missle abilities, or orbitial strike which should remain unique to their perspective classes. Yeah this won't kill the game in terms of losing player base. But it damn sure will kill what the game is. A star wars RPG.
They just want to cater to the MMO hardliners and they just happen to be Dev simp apologists.
Not what we wanted at all, and this says something BC I am a huge lurker, I NEVER post but felt the need to after seeing this crap. 7.0 is going to be trash.
