@ChongShin They have mentioned that there is a Grace Period.We aren't positive exactly how long the Grade Period is, but 7-10 days is a reasonable estimation.
@nimzy Some low-level items which have a "Classic/iconic" look to them (Old Ben's Robe was specifically mentioned - as was the Sand People Robe) - have Mod Slots where Crafters can Mod them to be equal to top Tier looted Gear.
@Daelda "Research" was first mentioned in the Article: http://www.swtor-life.com/swtorcrafter/swtorcrafters-view-on-mystery-crafting-research-system-in-swtor/1960/ "From this section of the interview the door is opened just a bit wider as we get confirmation of him calling it the research system and then him going on to explain that through means like “scarcity” the player crafter still has a role and has a way to differentiate himself."
Love all the info! Can't wait to get into the game and experience it myself. I wonder if the "Research Skill" that they mentioned a while back was ever put in place?
