I agree with the OP completely, I loved SWG, played from beta to end
SWG was revolutionary, and no other game will ever be like it. One set of armor in SWG was harder than any boss in WoW or any other MMO out there.you DEPENDED on crafters, they wernt a backdrop for a select few who wanted to wear crafted armor or use crafted weapons. Everyone in SWG, wore crafted armor, used crafted weapons, houses, mounts, spaceships, everything.
