7.0 Combat Upgrade - shades of the past

In 7.0 we have been promised (or threatened some people would call it) with massive changes to the class and combat system.

I'm all for this as it really looks exciting and interesting.

Then it struck me - I've seen this before. Way back in 2005 in the same galaxy far, far away but a couple of thousand years in the future. The Combat Upgrade from Star Wars Galaxies which ended up being possibly the biggest error made in that game.

I just hope that the lessons of history have been studied well.
