I think you fail to see the issue with this. The simple fact of reaching 400 biochem is getting the ability to make the Rakata stims and medpacks. Now the purpose has been defeated because you can reverse eng the next tier down and not have to worry about making the rakata, whats the point of trying to get the mats to make them now? The medpack has already been nerfed to stifle the crying, and now the stims. I'm sure when or if they mess with your crew skills and take away high end perks we will hear your crying about it too.

Whats funny here, is in wow, so many people could and still can cheat and exploit in the bgs. I have seen a dwarf rogue get attacked by the whole entire horde team and not take damage. So don't claim that wow, even after 6-7 years is any better. This game is only a month old, and it has so much room for improvement. Give it time. And BW has already said they are aware of the people who took advantage of the Ilum fiasco, and they are going to take the proper measures. What is wrong with everyone thinking games are supposed to come out perfect on release now days? I can remember back when daoc came out, there were so many bugs and issues with that game, they always will have issues there is no way to avoid it. They can only keep trying to improve it and fix it, and we have to be patient and wait for them to fix it.

What does your channel ability have to do with this topic? It does damage just like the lightning. I could make a valid complaint about the 8 second stun with the 10 second cool down timer that the Shadow companion has. Wah. Deal with it and learn to play around it. As for the population imbalance...well that sucks.

Oh, and might I also add, Vader was never stripped of his powers, by anyone, ever.

Also, a side note, if you are referring to Vader, you need to read more of his exploits. Most of you are probably only going off the movies, in which very little was shown of his abilities and exploits. His story and life is so much longer and in depth. And as a sith unable to shoot lightning i would say he could hold his own quite well. And as far as him being a "pawn", he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time, he had plans for years to overthrow Sidious and had put those plans into effect long before any of it happened. And the mere fact he could deceive even Sidious himself is a testament to his immense power. I could go on...

I have to correct a mistake made here. It has been stated by Lucas himself, that Vader was 80% of the power of the Emperor in his post-Mustafar state, and that if the events had not happened he would have been easily twice as powerful. As far as a comparison between Revan and Vader, it is hard to say. While we fully know the extent of Revan's power, we don't know the potential Vader would have possessed. If we are talking make believe, then we have to use pre-Mustafar Vader in the equation. And that would be tough and need extensive debate.

Yes I have, and just now right after you posted this.

And I redeemed on the 21st. Friend on 23rd, He is still in before me.

Funny, I pre-ordered on the 21st and people I know who did on the 23rd of July got in before me. So with those facts, you are lying.
