Do the absolute smoothbrains at CG not realize that this is only making players less likely to "develop the roster"?
I wasn't countering JMK in arena, I've been finding the JMLs/Reys scattered among the JMKs to grab top 20, maybe top 10 and call it a day. I don't have Armorer built up beyong G8, which is enough for the SLKR counter. It will continue to be enough as long as SLKR can't ignore Taunt. I didn't have Sith Assassin or NS Acolyte either.
That's 3 toons I now know I don't have to gear up. I didn't need Armorer for anything other than potentially countering JMK when I got around to her, now that's off the table--thanks for saving me a few hundred kyrotech. Not to mention the zeta, which is useless now. 100% counter chance? Yeah, right.
I will still hit top 20, collect my 200 crystals and move on.
