In essence, I think this is biggest perdicament with class switching in this MMO, or any MMO for that matter. People put in the time to level Class X….there is no reason that they should be given Class Y simply because they want it. If you want class Y, go and level it like everyone else did, its that simple. And please stop with the "I don't have time issue" , if thats the case then you probably shouldn't be playing MMO's in the first place, console games are great for casual gaming.
An "insult." Right. Like so many others, the best you got is that it would wound someone's ill-conceived sense of pride? In the "work" it took to advanced a character in a computer game? Get real.

It could be posted in six-hundred posts. Still just a matter of opinion.

I can't think of one good reason why BW should implement AC switching (sorry - "because I want it" doesn't cut it); they already make money selling extra character slots, and selling CM gear/collection unlocks for additional characters, not to mention all the other little things one has to buy separately for each character.

There is no incentive for BW to allow people to circumvent the whole leveling and CM purchasing processes. They want you to roll a new character and spend more money unlocking everything yet again.

People want AC switching because they can retain the wealth they have amassed up to that point in the game. Sorry the game wasn't designed that way nor should it be imo.

You don't have to delete an existing character to make a new one (unless you're at your limit).

As far as the money part, I could see them making more money, I think a lot of people would spend more to change AC then put CM stuff on an alt of the same class.
And neither of you have played Rift..

No, you only switch Roles within the same class. You can easily switch from a Tank to a DPSer and the like. Some Roles/Souls will allow for you to play similiar to another class, for example the Chloromancer in the Mage class makes a good healer.

You can not change your class..

Perhaps you should do more research before you go hog wild agreeing with someone.. Rift does not change classes either.. You can change specs/souls with in a class the same way you do here..

Here is the information.. Their system is very different than ours and not really comparable or relevant to this discussion... Google is your friend..

But see your statement is a contradiction.. Allowing AC swapping means we won't need as many character slots.. Hence less money for Bioware..

That is how it should be.. There simply is no need for class swapping.. There just isn't..

I think you misunderstood him. Unless I am mistaken, he is against allowing class changes.

And I'm certain that you are one of these guys that I was referring to in my post. You want the other AC??
Go level it.

Let's pretend for a second that you have something in game that you had to work for. Now lets imagine someone is asking for that same thing to be handed to them instead of putting in the work that you did in order to get this thing. You're telling me this doesn't bother you at all? How about YOU get real here my brother? Computer game or not, we still had to put time and effort into these digital things. So don't pull that smart *** crap on me about the whole "computer game" false sense of pride nonsense, because by logic there is no reason for you to be posting here much less playing the game if you're telling me you have no pride in what you yourself have worked for. Game or not, the fact is that swtor is a hobby that we invest ourselves into because it is something that is important to us.

Get over yourself.

You get over yourself, hes entitled to his opinion, if he wants to express his opinion let him. You guys keep claiming that you are proving us wrong, your only doing that in your heads. Theres absolutely no reason to be rude to us, we do our best to keep this a discussion and not an argument but yet you guys keep taking what we say personal for whatever reason, you made your point, if you have something further to add by all means say it, but keep your attitude out of it.
In order to appreciate the Light, you must spend time in the Darkness.

you have never proven anything other then you simply want it due to the FACT you are too lazy to level a new toon.

You will never do anything but ignore everything that is presented that does not support your entitled attitude of you deserve everything for nothing.

It has been proven over and over and over again that going from a vanguard to a commando is NO DIFFERENT then going from a vanguard to a marauder. They are completely different classes according to the people who made the game. There is no higher authority then that, you simply lack the ability to understand that you do not get everything for nothing. For once just EARN something.
