Drastically dumbed down gameplay.

I remember the first time i stepped outside Bestine starport. It was amazing. I could pick any professions and mix with each other to make my character unique.

And the complex crafting...

No other game offered this freedom.

Now it's dumbed down to a strange hybrid between FPS and RPG with only 9 profession and the ability to mix them has been removed. Player bounties have also been removed.

The worst thing though is that the new camera angle and jerky movements causes nausea to even hardened FPS players. The old SWG had very beautiful and fluid movements but it's all gone. Now it looks like a Jet Li movie on fast forward.

SOE doesn't seem to understand that if we, the mmorpg crowd wanted an FPS we would buy a FPS game. Likewise the FPS crowd won't like it either because it's not a true FPS.

Stay away until they can iron out the worst bugs. If the ever can...
