ETA on Advanced Class change?

By your own admission, this game is flourishing WITHOUT allowing class changes? 'nuff said.

I have also used SWG as a reference. But I did make sure to point out that SWG and TOR cannot be properly compared. SWG would statistically be a major outlier because it was so different than anything else on the market.

TOR = themepark
SWG = sandbox

SWG was different than ANY other game in that it allowed you from day 1 to change your profession anytime you wanted to. But initially, you lost ALL associated levels when you dropped a skillbox/"class". Following the NGE there were no skill boxes so if you dropped your class you dropped it all.

So what's your implication, that because the game is flourishing, no changes should ever be made?

lol where did i say that? by my own admission, when the game started to detract form the original devs ideas is when the game is starting to flourish. lol you arent even trying anymore. keep reading one part of my post and try to make your point. you only look more foolish with each post

Who exactly has a "beloved main" that they hate the AC of? I intended for Operative to be my main, but I don't like the DPS or Healing mechanics for Operative so Merc became my main and I only play my Op when the guild needs a medic and my other 2 are on lockout.

Did I imply it was absolute? No, I said it was important. Whether int he long run it is refuted will not change the fact that it is and always will be important because it expanded our understanding of physics. But enough about that, back to the discussion.

I also do not have a "beloved main" (a ridiculous concept, IMO, since it's just a collections of pixels and database entries), but just because you and I don't does not mean others don't.

1) How does my ability to play my AC impact you exactly? If you're scared of grouping with me, stick to your own groups. I play with plenty of players who suck at their classes. If you use that rational for everything, should players not be allowed to swap toons because they might suck at the one they switch to??? That's a fools argument.
2) An example of "fluidity" is any change made to classes, which continually happens EVERY update. Remember 2.0? Level cap went from 50-55...that was MAJOR change.
3) Needs such as an ever changing playerbase. Players aren't obligated to KEEP playing. If I can fill a missing role by simply switching AC's, that's a much better solution to me than expecting me to reroll a new toon.

"Magnitude" lol. Oh come on...it's a freaking GAME Rat...get a grip.

"We can't repel hyperbole of that magnitude!"

A Strawman argument is where someone takes a scenario and compares it to a ridiculous scenario while calling them the same thing fundamentally. Rat made no strawman argument in that statement.

The Devs can certainly change their minds.
They are certainly under no obligation to do so.
Players certainly already have the option to play the other AC by rolling a new toon meant for that AC.

No strawman there bub. And I owned you and Tux on the Slippery Slope Fallacy. I can go back and quote all that too if you like.
