(and for the most part, that is ALL they are using)

This is exactly how pvp was in pre-cu. They were called flavor of the month (fotm) templates, most being a defense stacking, stun weapon wielding combination. That is not to say that there weren't exceptions, you'd occasionally come across a very talented swordsman or carbineer(very occasionally, like benjai starlighter for those chilastra peoples that would remember him) that invested heavily in capping out their stats and the absolute best weapons and armor they could buy spending billions of credits on their characters.

Almost all of the rest of your observations are being looked at in the current code restructure and will be tested upon it's completion.

This update doesn't make the game perfect, we just wanted to let you all have fun while the restructure is being done and testing is a little slower.

Yes, FoTM was very prevalent Pre-CU, but it took time to grind out your template, and you had to be either highly skilled, or very rich to accomplish what people are doing in 2 minutes on the TC. It is, afterall, a TC, so I guess it is something I will just have to get used to, but it is bothersome nonetheless.

Any and all updates are verry much appreciated!
We know you all are working hard and doing your best!!

I cant wait to do some CH testing after the restructure and when you guys decide to reimplement it
