Why Raise the Level Cap Again?

Since they are adding in crafted stuff for strongholds, it's safe to assume crafting will see an increase as well. They haven't announced everything about the expansion yet and a lot of this is supposition based on past observations, but raising the level cap normally also raises everything else, crafting included.

There is nothing wrong with crafting in this game. In fact it better than any other MMO I've played, and I've played most of them.

Star Wars: Galaxies called. It's sad you never tried it.

SWG crafting was a horrible grind fest and SWG in general was a garbage game. Remove the rose colored glasses and wake up.

The game wasn't garbage, until after the NGE.

The crafting system was rich and complex. It let crafters create items that had a greater range of differentiators than "price", which is all most MMO's seem to do today. That's boring and uncreative.

Here in this game, wow, I get to create exactly the same stims and augments and armorings and everything that everyone else does. How do I get anyone to buy MY stuff? Price it lower. That's it. I can't make it better regardless the time, effort, or research I put into it. I can't tailor to tanks or DD's or healers. Feh.

Raansu I know you don't believe that. SWG had the most innovative crafting system ever seen in a video game of any type PERIOD.

A lot of people that didn't like SWG were just lazy and couldn't get groups for end game content because no group finder meant actual relationships with other players had to be developed

To be fair from my point of view as always SWG sucked in so many ways. It wasn't fun. SWG fanboys should grasp the fact that there are people who did not like SWG at all. I'm not going to go to your forums and bash it though just as I hope the same is reciprocated.

Regardless crafting in this game is not good at all. It is outdated. That's why it fails currently. Bioware has made many changes to the game and the last two remaining relics of SWTOR vanilla is crafting and legacy. Both need major revamps to account for the new progressions, Cartel Market and so much more. Biochem and Cybertech are the only worthwhile crew skills today. That is not the sign of a healthy crafting system.

Reality answered by saying that SWG shut down.

I agree. I like seeing 50,60,70. I always liked that. I can't STANd when max level is 55, 65, 75 stuff like that. It just doesn't feel..complete.
