^ This.
Not only that but I've heard that the amount of SWTOR subs has increased by over 30% since the launch of KOTFE.
There is no way in hell that they would change level-sync. Even if every complainer on this thread left the game it wouldn't affect their profit by much. Last I checked SWTOR was in the top 5 most profitable MMOs still.

I think the changes are fine. BoiWare is still trying to streamline a few elements of the game and, based on watching the recent TwitchCon streams, they are banking on a large increase in players with the release of the new Star Wars movie.
That being said, I still see two other issues which I have been unable to find any commentary at all they are addressing.
1.) Since the SoR drop (3.0 patch) server lag has been a problem. Are they even attempting to fix this with this patch/expansion? If not, and they do get a big influx of new players with the release of the new Star Wars movie, this is just going to create bigger issues.
2.) BioWare STILL doesn't know what the heck they want to do from a business model standpoint. After watching the TwitchCon streams and listening to the commentary, now they seem poised to introduce a new hybrid episodic-subscription model. So the expansion will have 9 chapters released with the remaining 7 coming one per month starting in January (to time with the release of the new movie). That will encompass "Season 1". The intent is to now have an monthly episode to keep people paying $15/month. Is each individual episode going to be worth $15? This is a business model more akin to Telltale games than an MMO.
After watching 9 different Twitch streams, it appears this expansion, with one story for ALL character classes, is nothing more than a glorified single player game. There is not one single thing being introduced that is "MMO" content. Most of these changes are to 'refresh' the old content so it appears there is some MMO elements, but nothing is being introduced on the MMO front at all. So am I to believe EA is now trying to get people to pay $15/month for a single player game?
I was thinking of returning to SWTOR after an extended hiatus, but after seeing the Twitch streams, it has become apparent from the comments that the plan is to evolve more to a Telltale games model, release one episode a month, and charge $15/month for access to that episode. That is some very expensive gaming right there for something that is probably going to give your 30 to 60 minutes of NEW content a month.

This from a guy who played this game before. Which I kinda don't agree with. But he has some good points.
May the Force be with you. May the force be with us all.

Are you totally deranged?. That's a question not to be answered.

I agree it is Such a dumb "Feature" and I use that term very very loosely, because I have been somewhere shifted to level 48(I am 65) and felt like i was 5 levels to low to fight enemies that showed up with a Green level

Well Said. You get it and understand. That's something I noticed. On the expansion and 4.0 changes did. Once again Well Said Well Said.

And yet people can still use that fredom of speach to say what they beleave in even with those like you around.
