I think SOE will be in serious troubles to keep its players. Every time I become master, i don't know what to do and I feel bored by this game. Actually I grind bounty hunter, thinking, the combination master BH / space expansion could be cool.
I like this game , but if there's no major change incoming i'll stop after space expansion.
Maybe they could create specials skills (with no cost, except XP) you could gain with an huge amount of xp:2 weapon fighting, improved dodge, improved melee parry, particular item crafting specialisation, improved healing, etc...
and you could keep this special skills even if u surender professions.
