The question on most MMO Pundit's lips about now is "Lucasarts, What were you thinking!?". The folks at MMORPG.com actually went out and asked it:

MMORPG.com: Galaxies Combat Upgrade Q&A

Remember kids, you haven't been nerfed, you been "redefined and distingushed", and *mystical jedi handwave* the new game is better; you just haven't given it a chance yet. Luke Skywalker tried soloing and got his hand cut off, so why should you be any more special, hmm? Star Wars = Grouping. (Or more precisely, leeching combat xp off Han Solo the whole time.)

So all in all, the offical line seems to be that you're all whiney biatches; shut up and put up.

Well that's alright then...

(Told you so....they never deal with terrorists. Pay and Play, or Quit and Move On...that's it. And I STILL haven't even played the CU myself yet. Sheesh.)
