You must be joking, people will be swapping all the time if it only costs the same as a pint.

Call it 10k CC and I would perhaps go for it. Personally though, no. It takes a couple of weeks or so to level a toon to 55 if you only play that one and use all the boosts etc.

Even 10k CC would still make it a bad idea if it could be done whenever wanted imo. It would just turn it into a roll to FoTM tool for the ones with a lot of disposable income. I'd say if they decide to implement it, make it affordable for everyone, but limit its uses to a single opportunity or at least make the lockout last somewhere around 6 month.

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..
Awwwwe...name calling? Calling people "lazy" for wanting this? What a joke. It's a flipping video game dude...you sit on your *** to play it! I'd argue it's a helluva lot LAZIER to want to spend hours in front of your computer grinding a new toon from your chair than it is to want a way to swap the same class AC's.

You have NO arguments...you call people names who want this. There's NO VALID REASON that YOU should give a **** what AC I am...it has NO IMPACT on YOU...NONE!!!! NOTHING! ZERO! ZIP! NADA!

I do read the "arguments" which all boil down to name calling and nosy folk who think they know better. Don't like this feature? Here's a suggestion...DON'T USE IT! It won't impact you at all!!! Not AT ALL!
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

The joke is on you pal.. I am just calling it like it is.. No name calling involved..

You have to understand here.. The people don't want AC swapping don't need a reason.. We aren't asking for a game change.. You on the other hand are... You all need something much better than laziness to give a viable reason for Bioware to make major changes to the game..

Bioware went through extra effort to make sure that people understood their choice of AC was a permanent one.. You all want to just ignore that.. Bioware stated they didn't want a single class to both heal and tank.. You want them to go back on that.. You better have a good reason.. And stop worrying about my arguments.. My arguments are just fine and backed by Bioware.. Yours?? Well... We know about the lazy one..

See.. That is where you are wrong.. We are the only side with arguments.. The people that want AC swapping have no arguments.. Well... except laziness..

It is a bad idea.. Changing your class should never be allowed.. Bioware doesn't want it, or we wouldn't be told at least 4 times in game that our choice is permanent.. Changing classes would be rampant in other games and it just isn't.. I have yet for anyone to tell me a game that allows class changing.. For such a good idea.. Why doesn't anyone do it??

Now instead of giving us the third degree.. Do yourself a favor and come up with an actual reason of your own.. Why is it a good idea?? As I said.. We like the game the way it is.. As does Bioware.. We don't need any reasons.. You want to change the game then you better start selling the idea..

There is a huge difference between your spec and your class.. They are not comparable.. Your spec is not your class.. Your AC is your class.. You can disagree with that point all you like.. Your opinion on that point is of little value.. Bioware has already stated that our AC is our class.. That is all that matters.. Bioware is the only authority that gets to decide what is or isn't a class.. Not you and not me.. When you convince Bioware that our AC is not our class then you can make that point.. Until then you are wasting your time..

While you are thinking of reasons other than laziness consider this.. It would give people more excuses to roll need on stuff.. Not that they need them as it is.. It would diminish the value of the classes.. Bioware would make less money than with alts if they allowed AC swapping.. There.. There are 3 reasons, none of which involve laziness.. Are you still keeping score?? Yes?? You are losing, and I don't even need to give you any reasons..

Don't use it?? It won't impact me??? Sorry.. That is just to lame to really respond to.. You think about that really hard and maybe you will come to understand what a BS statement that is..

Oh.. In case you haven't heard.. Laziness isn't going to cut it for a reason.. Just saying..

I don't think his point was how they spend their CC.. It was the point that they would be swapping all the time.. It is also a valid point..
