I guess what I dont understand is, it would be a completely optional service, why are people so heavily against it? it wouldnt affect them... just to clarify, just for AC switching, not actual CLASS switching.
In order to appreciate the Light, you must spend time in the Darkness. Peace will win and fear will lose.

This thread is full of well thought out, logically and rationally presented reasons why allowing class changes WOULD affect every player and not just the ones that choose to change their class. Are you going to just dismiss them because they do not mesh with what you want?

Sorry, I disagree, (I'll use Imperial classes to illustrate, but their Republic mirrors are the same) my Bounty Hunter Mercenary is largely different from my Bounty Hunter Powertech, their gameplay is poles apart, Operative vastly different from Sniper, Assassin bears absolutely no resemblance to Sorcerer, it's really only the Warrior advanced classes that are fairly similar in that they're both melee range, but again they're pretty dissimilar and to cap it off one is Heavy and one Medium armoured so not at all the same. On each faction there are effectively 8 different classes which simply share 4 parent class storylines, trying to make out there are only 4 actual classes per faction is quite absurd. Choice of Advanced class is very clearly permanent just going off the text on the quest even if you ignore the gross gameplay differences.

I do not dismiss the well thought out and reasonably presented arguments, even if I do not agree with them. It seems to me, though, that most of the reasons why it wouldn't affect others boil down to "that happens already" completely ignoring the fact that allowing AC changes would drastically increase the frequency and scope of these "already occurring" situations. Increasing a negative is a negative.

I mean, there play style is completely different, so that means there not all the same class?

I'm pretty sure...no...I'm absolutely sure that you would be playing a different class even though you are doing the same stuff. Advanced Classes ARE different classes, period, end of story, get over it. The only reason there is only 4 stories is because BW didn't want to hire 8 more voice actors and write 8 more sets of dialogue. By your logic, If I did the same heroic on my Operative as I did my Sorc I should be able to swap their classes. What defines a class is their abilities and the role they play in the party. IMO, AC respecs should never be allowed.
