When you come back and re-read then you can decide to follow up with a logical question.

Keyword- LEGWORK

I even typed it in caps so people would get the hint...oh lord that wasn't enough though.
I got the point.. You made a fool of yourself with a bad example.. You are comparing apples to oranges and attempting to make a point..

AC swapping would be giving someone a free character.. I have a lvl 55 Shadow.. Why should I be able to turn it into a lvl 55 Sage?? I didn't role a sage and didn't level a sage.. Do you get it now??

I've brought up a ton of reasons outside of "laziness" for why ac switching is a bad idea. No one has even responded to my points. Others bring these points up, and minus vitriol there is little said in this thread by anyone, that is actually responded to.

My link and my posting of it was entirely accurate.. Sorry if proving your wrong was so inconvenient..

Yes I can say things that are logical and accurate.. That is all I do.. 100% of my posts are logical and accurate.. Your problem is that can't argue with right..

As for your pros and cons post?? You are starting to look like a broken record.. As for my questions you won't answer?? Well.. It just goes to show what I said about.. You don't want to have a real discussion.. You just want to lead us all around have us follow your every word.. You are not some college professor leading a discussion on AC swapping.. You are hardly even qualified to have the discussion.. You avoid reality to much.. You just want to substitute it with your own version of reality..

How does AC swapping benefit the game and or the players in it?? Do not use reasons that can be seen as making things easier or more convenient.. That leads to the accurate rebuttal of wanting due to laziness..

Do answer the question.. Because that will be the first pro you will have actually listed.. Failure to answering that question shows what I have been saying all along.. There is no reason to allow AC swapping.. And there isn't.. Sorry but that is 100% accurate..

What you need to understand is you can't have this discussion on your terms.. And this isn't even my terms.. There are rules in a debate.. The people that share my views have repeatedly come up with valid reasons as to why it would be a bad thing.. For the folks on the opposing view?? Well.. A lot of insults, name calling, just ignoring what is said... Not to mention a lot of pretending that some facts just don't exist.. But for a debetate to be fruitful and worthy, you have to deal in 100% facts.. No spin.. No bias.. (Yes you are bias despite your claims to be in the middle..) That means that both sides needs to come up with points and logic to support their views.. So far, only one side is doing that.. The game is hard to argue with.. Which is why it is constantly ignored by those that want AC swapping.. You have to look at the rebuttals and attempt to come up with something factual to refute them.. Yes, that means you have to prove the laziness rebuttal wrong by show in some real advantages that things that would benefit all players.. As long as nobody does that, then they are wrong.. Laziness continues to trump over all arguments because nobody can prove it wrong.. Insulting or belittling a person that offers the laziness argument simply shows the lack of argument and intelligence of the other side.

I respect you and your desire to have a real debate on this issue.. But debates can often be very hard.. People come to the table with differing amounts of information and views. So I go for the K.I.S.S. method.. (Keep It Simple Stupid) I stick to the basics.. The people that want AC swapping are doing everything but that.. They want to discuss whether or not an AC is a class.. Which is irrelevant.. They can't come up with any reasoning or pros of their own.. They spend their time denying the obvious, like what the game says.. You really should think about this..

So if you truly want to debate the issue Lord or anyone one.. You have your task.. Come up with a logical and intelligent argument that refutes the Laziness rebuttal..

If laziness is the only reason then there is no reason.. Roll another character and accomplish the same thing..
you do realise that you are 'debating' in just the same way, don;t you? You are offering your opinion as reasoned, logical, fact. It's not, it's your opinion, to which you are entitled and should be respected for. What you really are not entitled to or to be respected for is telling someone they are breaking your debate rules when you yourself are not following them and there, in fact, no bloody rules in the first place.

at this point EA/BW have made no statement about this being likely or not, previously there have been comments that make mention of some historical yes/no/maybe, but there is nothing recent or valid. Forums are for people to express their views about game related matters. Until EA/BW say otherwise this is just as likely to happen as it is not, it's that simple and for all your talk, your opinion on this is as likely to be considered or not.

my own view is this can happen, it will not impact how I play if you change your AC, it wont impact how I play if you change your class - BECAUSE YOU ALREADY CAN! this is a make it easier, possibly with some restrictions attached, concept, that's all. I wanted both smuggler AC's, I rolled them both. If I could have changed AC I would have but I also would have probably still rolled both to have both.

as for the 'I had to grind out 55 levels to get my Sage so you should too' - want a cookie?

A free character? You mean you get an extra character? Because that would be in lines with a free character.

So you say you leveled a 55 shadow. So in you're world, when you do an AC change you get a 55 sage but you claim that is a "free character". Yet it is not.

If you want to join the rest of reality though, when you level a 55 shadow and AC change to a level 55 sage. You don't get a free character, you get a AC change.

If you got a free character you would level a 55 shadow and AC change to a level 55 sage and get them BOTH on your account. You see? That would be a free character.

But since they actually put in the work to get to level 1 to level 55, that is not a "free" character. It's a character.

Learn the difference.

They are not different classes, they are different sub-classes of the same base class.

You keep repeating the same debatable statements as if you think that if you repeat them often enough that will end the debate about them.

Very well said and the key is. That it doesn't impact anyone else but the person changing AC's!

Oh lord, I don't know how people can be against something that they can choose not to be a part of but if they don't want it, they don't want others to have it either. How arrogant can you get?

^^

I am sure you have.. That was my point.. A lot of us have brought up reasons as to why AC swapping is bad.. It is the people that want it that have failed to bring up reasons..

Actually I am not.. That is where you are wrong.. The game says that your choice is permanent does it not?? Bioware made the game say that did they not?? Case closed..

The biggest argument that I have heard to allow AC swapping is they don't want to do the story again.. That is laziness.. Hence why that argument needs to be refuted..

What I have said is 100% fact.. I don't argue the same way.. I deal only in facts.. Not opinion..

You also need to come to terms with the fact that this debate is not about you.. So how it does or doesn't effect you is not relevant.. Hence a meaningless point..

The issue at hand is how it would effect the game and the gaming community as a whole.. In the simplest of terms.. A lazy few should not be allowed to dictate game rules for everyone else.. Bioware made this rule before launch.. Yes, at one point they did consider it.. But as far as we the player is concerned.. The game has not changed.. It has always said our choice is permanent.. We as players need to have some choices have consequences..

Your AC is your class.. That is not opinion, that is fact.. I don't see people on Blizzards forums asking for class changes.. Why here?? Would we be having this discussion if we chose our AC at lvl 0??

So lets start a debate on a optional god mode?? Why would anyone argue against that??

How arrogant of you to even ask that questions..
