I know there are 55's who are not leet, but allowing AC swaps would likely increase the number of people who have no idea how to play their class, as many of them would be new to the "new" class. Increasing a negative is in itself a negative, and thus would be a negative affect on the game.
Sorry but an AC swap is not getting anyone handed anything, by your own example they put in effort to level that class. IT should not be waste just cause they didn't enjoy it at endgame. They put in little effort anyway - no matter the AC or in game event.

There are already tons of people that do not know how to play there class. Gamers like to label them as "bads"

They will likely never change and will always be around. We have all been around them.

Good players however are also out there and should they dislike their current AC, they will not only put in effort to know the new AC, they will also be the ones to have gear waiting and ready for new AC. The are what we call good players.

So no, there is no more negative than you already have to deal with in game now.

Again, you present a rather weak argument. It's an argument but it holds little water.

Just level up another character. No changes needed.

Gamers have done that. It's not all that fun when you level a class just as a different AC,

The major game play experience that makes this game amazing is diminished in SWTOR once you have seen the class stories once as well as the side quests.

The minor ac differences under one class doesn't have enough affect to make it all that enjoyable for many it seems to do it a second time. I've done it. It was not all that fun.

I have played a smuggler gunslinger since the beginning, which I thought sounded cool, and it was for a while with the cover and 2 guns.
But now I'm starting to real tired of being an immovable turret on the battlefield and alway rolling into the wrong cover (target not in line of sight!), and I feel useless in pvp.
Just tired of that advanced class in general.
But I made a agent operative and soon found out that the fast moving medium-close range was by far better suitet to my play style.

But I have played on that smuggler since the start of the game (from the launch day) with all my friends so we got this cool group of ours, so starting a new smuggler just to change the adv class is not even an option .

So it would really save the game for me if I just could change the adv class and get the fun that I'm meant to have with this guy.

Really hope that this comes soon.

Your example is no proof at all.
I'd be curious to know how not physically leveling in that AC would cause harm to the game....

if you have to ask that then you are a very ignorant player.

When you put effort leveling a character you learn how the character work, why certain skills go in certain orders. Being handed a 55 without learning how to play it will make a bad player even worse. As it is people for the most part are bad, however you give a bad player a max level toon and you instantly get someone who is far less useful then a companion in starter gear.

There is 0 good that comes from giving anyone a max level toon for no reason. Sorry but just because you level a sorc does not mean you have and clue what so ever on how to play an assassin.

At level 1 you pick the story you want to see, at level 10 you actually pick one of the 2 classes that go to that story. You do not pick your class at level 1. A sorcerer is not the same as an assassin, you should never be allowed to go from one to another. Its no different what so ever and no less stupid then someone in WoW wanting to have a max level rogue just because they leveled a priest. If you cannot understand that then i am shocked you were smart enough to get to max level in the first place.

they did, and i think EAware is smart enough to know that if they allowed it they would lost the majority of the subs they have left, and regardless what the F2P crowd thinks if this game doesn't keep near 500k+ subbs it will die off as subs are really keep the game going. Investors want secure income not the up and down spirts the cartel market can provide.

As you can see the "huttsbane" gear set has not made any money if it had they would not of cut the cost in half.

This is one of the stupidest suggestions. This is the epitome of laziness.

You know whatever, do this Bioware. The people who are stupid enough to pay for this don't have the drive to level a different class, they obviously don't have any drive to become better at the class they already have.

This will only make Bioware money and make the lazy players regret their decision after the Fotm class they rolled is nerfed.

I can see some people using this legitimately, but seriously if you want to play a different class that bad just level with it.

Nothing comes that easy, I can't get a masters in Psychology then one day say hey I want to be a rocket scientist I'll pay 50,000 dollars and put me as the leading scientist on the project.

I love you all
