Pretty much this. I'm a long time casual player and it might be weird but I really enjoyed building up my list of purple schematics, being able to gear all of my characters as they leveled, and being able to turn enough profit on the GTN to snag the wealth achievements a couple years back. I'm trying but I'm not finding a lot to love with the new system. I really think some sort of compensation for those professions that are outright losing schematics because the skill is being moved to another profession is in order. What is the point of having gathering skills at all if a crafter has to BUY mats to complete the job? You seem to really hate Cybertech lately. Why in space would a Synthweaver craft armorings? Argh. This is taking a huge chunk of the fun out of the expansion for me. You said you were not going to take away things players worked hard for, so what gives, Bioware?

Yeah, no problem getting my humongous Revan statue and I have plenty of credits, but still no go with buying the Expert Crafting. I submitted a ticket, so I guess now it's wait and see. Thanks for the replies, guys!

All of my characters are maxed out at 450, and none of them, even the level 55s can purchase it from the trainer. It just won't let me buy it. Yes, I pre-ordered. Got my statue and all, but I really want to get cracking on the new schematics.

A legacy cargo hold would be at the top of my wish list. Shorten some of the gathering mission times when you hit 450. Doesn't have to be a lot, but anything would feel like an achievement bonus. Fix the arbitrary nature of the gathering mission levels. All grades should have moderate - rich level missions, with chance to crit on the top two levels, or at least make it consistent if nothing else. Sounds silly and nit-picky, but some sort of reference regarding the top tier schematics for each crafting skill would be nice - what's available, how to get them. etc... As a casual player having this information accessible in-game would be really helpful. In the crazy ideas that will never happen department, how about letting your toon craft items? Depending on your skill level there could be a slightly higher chance to crit.

I died when my IA deadpanned, "I like assassinating assassins. They always look so surprised."

Jeebus I can't believe this was intentional. Fail, BW. Fail. Put it back, please, or at LEAST allow us to use a zero in front of the armoring/mod number. If you need to free up something, get rid of the "Usable By" option since it never works anyway.
