From what I see, people really don't care much. The kinds of teams who care are often being formed by people who are (IMO) vastly over concerned with exactly what ATs and powersets they're picking, and frequently are looking for a tank and a healer. It's not like you need a Controller for much, either. I know when I play, I want buffs and debuffs, and honestly I don't care who brings them.

Oddly enough, i too came from SWG to CoX. Well, I started playing Cox while i was still holding out hope for SWG... And, IIRC, SWG started it's downward trek well before CoX introduced ED and the GDN. The CU and NGE took a long time to full roll out, and the game was in flux for a LONG time. My quest for Jedi, (yes, i'm not ashame to admit it) Went from shoting in the dark, to holo grinding, to a village... to... just respecing over the course of a year... every time i got close, the system changed and i had to start over. (not totally over, but getting jerked around was getting old FAST...)
And i kind of had the same reaction when ED and the GND hit. I though to myself, "oh god.. not CoX too.. is this just how MMO's work in general now a days??" My only previouse MMO was Asherons Call, and frankly, i don't recall there ever really being alot of NERFS in that game, but it's been years so i can't remember for sure.
I accually quit CoX for, like, 2 or 3 weeks myself in frustation and general disguest. I didn't really like the idea of the changes, was kind of annoyed at Jacks PR, and was gunshy from all the crap i was taking in SWG. I quit SWG round about the same time.. I was considering just swaring off MMO's in general.
I came back.. and i'm glad i did. I man enough to admit when i was wrong, and ED and GDN helped this game more then it hurt it. And it layed the ground work for IO's, which is prolly IMO the best addittion to the game to date.
I never really went back to SWG. I played... like a month or 2... a few months back when they did there big aniverys special. Made a Jedi, got too... what was it, 90? Made a lvl 5 lightsaber, had good fun, up until i relised a few key facts. The first being, noob Jedi's are the lowest of low in SWG now a days, to be hated, reviled, and ignored. We apperelly didn't "earn" it, dispite all the work i put into trying to earn it but having my goal moved... 3 times... and i couldn't get into any guilds, couldn't run team content... pretty much was kind of an outcast... and 2, that the grinding in that game is freaking eipic and i'm not into grinding. So, i'm done with that.
But eagurely awaiting TOR... oh man, you have no idea how bad i'm looking forward to that game.....

I see this stated ALOT on the boards, but it's not true in game.. at least as far as my expearince goes. It's FAR from the truth. I see, WAY more defenders on teams then controllers. I've never seen any hints people would rather have a controller over a defender. People are just happy to have someone to buff, debuff, heal, whatever. I never see requests for controller debuffers, just debuffers. Just Buffers. Just healers. The AT isn't importent, the function is.
