They destroyed their own creation
You don't try to fix some thing that is not broken!
Before someone at SoE decided to ruin things for them selves this game offered every thing. Some thing for every one no matter how your style of playing was.
You could be a non combatant doctor, or you could be a combat medic.
A trader, you could choose what to make and sell from a wide selection of wares, and not even fire a gun once if you didn't want to.
Or you could be a ranger hunting for meat, hide bones, milk etc for traders or doctors for them to use.
Of Course you could go the violent way and become one of the many combat professions as well, and a creature tamer to use your animals in combat or to sell as mounts and pets.
There was no level, you gained experience by practising your profession and by doing so you got better at it, or you could choose to be a trader And Solider. You could mix and match how ever you wanted.
The cities was full of people, jedis had to hide so not to be detected by bounty hunters.
The cantinas was full of entertainers working for tips.
There was so much life and so much to do.
That was before.
Now every planet and player town is a ghost town.
Old homes litter the place of players that used to play.
Now you choose from a small list of professions what to be and you cant mix and match or change profession, you also follow a level system.
Now this is just another failed mmorpg whit dated graphics and only a handful of loyal star wars fans playing.
This was great once, but SoE did it again.
I could go on and on about how this was and how it is now but ill stop here.
Dont buy it.
