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.
why do you guys keep twisting my words, your trying to say i want to allow base class change, no i dont want that, i want AC change.

No. it doesn't. A pally is a pally, whether that be a holy pally, a ret pally or a prot pally. Just as an assassin is an assassin, whether it be a darkness assassin, a deception assassin or a madness assassin. They all have different play styles as well. The darkness assassin is a tank, while the deception and madness assassins are DPS. Even the latter two specs are different in their style of play. The deception assassin is more melee, direct weapon damage, similar to a rogue, while the madness assassin is much more about dots, more similar to a warlock.

An assassin is NOT a sorcerer, however.

and a trooper is a trooper, whether its commando or vanguard.

No one is twisting your words. You want to change class, nothing less. Your AC IS your CLASS and changing your AC would be changing your CLASS.

Do troopers have talent trees? NO. If you wish to prove me wrong, then show me a single character with the class of "trooper", (not vanguard or commando) who has allocated a single talent point.

Vanguards and commandos have talent trees, but TROOPERS do not. Therefore, troopers cannot even have a spec, as they have no talent trees into which to put their talent points. A player cannot even have a spec until they actually choose their CLASS, such as commando or vanguard.

so, let me get this straight, what decides your class is skill trees?

lets just completely ignore the story, the companions, the trainer (who i might add says your base class trainer not your AC trainer), gear vendors who are separated by base class not ac class, and all that other junk

Your skill trees do not decide your class, but you do not get access to your skill trees until you choose your CLASS(AC).

Just about every popular swtor site has the 8 classes listed as Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Trooper, Smuggler, Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bountyhunter, Imperial Agent. Now, if these sites are wrong, I suppose somebody should fix them. Until then, my trooper would like to respec into commando instead of vanguard, thanks.
