This smells like it is leading up to a cash shop where you can buy novelty appearance items, but i may be wrong.
This is a wise observation IMO, otherwise it's not a bad feature. Not "groundbreaking" by any means but not bad either.
We already have a cash shop. Its called the TCG. Players are paying for boxes of cards all in a chance for Loot cards for SWG. We really don't need a direct cash shop as the dealer is making more with the game of chance in the random packed Booster Boxes.

What a huge No NO in a pvp game. Wonder why SOE is so out of touch with it's playerbase to implement such a feature unless they expect everyone to avoid pvp. If you can't tell what your opponent is wearing or using as a weapon, that really limits your strategy. What a huge goof!
Complete rubbish.
Not knowing what class your prospective opponent is only adds to the experience. If you know what you're going to fight, then you know whether or not you can win, and that's boring. Really boring.
However, this isn't even the case. If you'd read the article, you'd see that players will only be able to equip things relevant to their class in the appearance slot, so you won't think you're attacking a jedi, when they're actually a commando.
I don't think I've ever seen someone use a non-default colour to type in on this website and say anything that wasn't poorly thought out drivel.
It is ok, it is obvious you don't pvp. It does make a huge difference. Only one looking foolish here is your post.

I'm a little confused.
"A "Hide Appearance Items by Default" option has been added to the Misc section of the Options window. This option will automatically show you the normal appearance on any player creature you examine. The "Hide Appearance Items" option can also be toggled on the Examine window; it will just default to hiding those items."
Does that mean it only shows the characters true equipment if you "examine" them or can you disable the Appearance slots from showing on all toons?
You get given the option in the Examine window, To see what they are truly Wearing.

Well, I obviously can't comment on others opinions on the foolishness of my post, but that doesn't matter to me in the way that it clearly does to you. It''s a shame that you sought to respond on a personal level away from the topic on hand. That tells me a lot about you
Incidentally, I used to PvP a lot in SWG, and the majority of my gaming life is spent testing my skills against other players. My current working life is spent trying to make computers act like humans, so practical experience is a must, and I spend at least half of my day on various forms of PvP.
Your response conveniently misses the point where I point out that you are completely oblivious as to what this announcement states, and in MMO forum terms, this means that 'I pwnt j00', thus further demonstrating my skills in (forum) PvP *looks for tongue-in-cheek emoticon*.
I conclude that you are of what is commonly referred to as being the 'Thottbot' generation, where you like to know everything, and leave little to chance. This is, in my opinion, the gaming equivalent of bullying, where you only start a fight that you know you can win. I don't believe for one second that the age you state in your profile is remotely close, unless you got the 6 and the 1 in the wrong order.
