If they end up doing nothing, well nothing lost really because I can learn them later if I just want to throw them into the "archive" and as has been said, they're not going to sell well on the GTN presently. So they're kind of useless already. Only hope would be is that they convert them to something else, like they will the mats that are going away, as I asked about in the Twitch live chat, or, they'll do nothing with them and just keep them as they are.



Kind of odd since a lot of people feel gimped already by the new system after learning all the old schematics that they wouldn't throw some kind of bone in the way of schematics/patterns to people who've collected all purples or who have a stockpile of schematics/patterns they've built up during the time they announced the change vs when the change was implemented. It's essentially giving us worthless schematics and we're spending credits on those missions to get them.



There should be a vendor in the Fleet to exchange the old ones for new ones, back when I played Asheron's Call they changed how one of the crafted items worked and if you had extra materials that were now useless there was a vendor you could just hand to him and swap out for a random equal item. I don't see why the same can't be true for either already learned schematics, to make you forget schematic X-old in trade for X-new, or even for those patterns we haven't bothered to learn because we feel it's pointless with the new system coming along. That way we could either choose to learn the pattern ourselves or sell it as surplus. It would create a market for the things for those who need a pattern they don't have. Especially if the swaps are random so not everybody is getting the same patterns. That's what it is, I am collecting a lot of schematics leveling up my other skills from multiple toons, I'm only using the vendor bought "green" schematics to level up the skills so it's a waste to even use those schematics. Who knows maybe if I hang on to them for a year they'll be collectors items... HA.What would be better is if they convert them into the new system schematics or at least trade them out for Mission ones. I'll keep them and see what they end up doing with them.
