I have to agree that I find this troublesome as well. Smed is spin-doctoring all over the gaming links, and the majority of the vocal SWG community is rampantly mocking him on the game forums for it. He has not made a single comment on the official forums concerning this fiasco. I might add that everything i have heard him say about player response on his PR mission is simply not evident when reveiwing the general NGE discussion on the Galaxies forums. There is little or no response to any of the posted material from anyone at SOE, and the outcry AGAINST this so called upgrade is steadily gaining steam.
