fun fact. I've been playing since early access.
back then? we didn't have legacy perks. you basically had similar experience to f2p when it comes to sprint and vehicles. and those vehicles and the training for them? cost much MUCH higher. and there were no handy cartel mounts you could buy for 10k credits or less. and CE/digital deluxe speeder? was stuck at 90%

yet look at the game now. and you know what? its better and MORE FUN for it.
Well said sir. Every argument against boils down to either a punitive reason or a selfish one...there's no real reason this shouldn't be allowed. As you've demonstrated, an MMO is fluid in trying to continually make the game "MORE FUN" for it's players - this would certainly fit that criteria and I fully support AC swapping.
All warfare is based on deception • If his forces are united, separate them • If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near • A leader leads by example not by force

Thanks
I honestly feel that if you ask a player to invest a reasonable cost (1,000 cc so about £4.50) every time they wanted to swap their AC they would be more incentivised to play that AC well.
I think the bad players would just carry on being bad on the ACs they are already bad on and would not consider the change to be a worthy investment.

Also, there's a real difference between a 'Bad' player and an 'inexperienced' player. The former remain doing the same stuff over and over with no regard to any help offered, the prime way of dealing with these sort of players is the Ignore function. The latter just require a helpful nudge here and there to help them learn their class/advanced class/specialisation or Bossfight, it's really not difficult to open up a Flashpoint/ OP with a few lines of dialogue asking if it's anyone's first time there and to set out crowd control icons, order of kills and loot rules.

I'd just like to add my voice to the thread. I've got a commando on Tatooine who is desperate to become a Vanguard.
They're going there with their friends.

I am not sure there is a fair cost for the change of class. EA will make more money on people rolling new alts then they can charge you for a single change.

On the other hand there are very good reasons not to allow for the change. Companions and achievements for example. I am not sure I would be happy if this was possible, it just feels wrong.

You can already have that vanguard. You only have to roll one.

Agreed.. I hoped it would too.. There always seems to be someone that just has to dig up that dead horse and beat it some more..

You know what is funny.. The reasons people have for not wanting AC swapping, is still volumes more than your reasons for wanting it.. You really only have one reason.. Laziness..

I won't go into the other reasons not to have AC swapping. I mean is isn't like you all will read them anyways.. You haven't yet..
