Official Q&A Thread for February 10th, 2012 Q&A Blog Post

What are your plans for servers with imbalanced faction populations?

Why did you abandon your originally revealed vision of a "fully realized online world" that was to strike a balance between theme park and sandbox gaming, and give us an almost pure theme park single player RPG with a mini-game and cooperative online elements, rather than a true MMO RPG that had elements and environments to truly allow players to both experience the story and go "off the rails," when they needed a break from the story?

Will there be a dual talent specialization at any point?

reason I ask is because I would like to use 2 different specs for PvE/PvP respectively.

Are there any plans to expand/improve the character creation experience?

What are you going to do about the rampant, and obvious, kill-trading valor exploitation that is happening on Illum?

Healing with the scoundrel/operative seems unrefined, and lacks some effective tools to handle AoE situations in an effective way due to energy constraints. The energy system is a fun and different mechanic for healing but it limits the degree to which the operative/scoundrel can react to an unexpected situation. Also, all of the reactive abilities rely on a short duration stacking buff that is only reliably acquired by casting the most expensive spell.

Q:
What are your thoughts on the medic/sawbones, and what sort of changes could be made to make it more enjoyable to play this spec?

Are you going to add life to the game? Like adding moving NPC and vehicles so it doesn't look empty and day/night cycle?

I'd love to be able to offer my crafting services via the Trade channel. Are there any plans to implement the ability to Shift+Click my crafting profession into the chat window in order to show folks what schematics I have?

Thank you!

Is anyone looking at the graphical issue with Jedi Knight robes and their "bustle"?

Will we get a chance at any time to change servers? I am really regretting choosing the ghost town PVE that I did, rather than the more populated RP server, and I was hoping I would not need to recreate my character all the way from scratch. Thanks!
