I have to agree with this, even though it would be nice to be able to use whatever you find, this will greatly reduce loot drama. SWTOR is clearly part of MMORPG 3.0, so it's been able to learn from the previous generations, and has clearly made some effort to fix what always sucked, but kept getting coded in because that was the way things were done, and also to reduce things which are kind of a drag, like downtime after a fight (the focus-type skills that replenish hp/resource, for one.)
