Reading through that, I would assume that you can or will still get crystals that can be used on gear below level 70.

So right now the max gear I think you can get is 220 with crystals. So you'll probably still be able to get to that level with crystals, but once you hit 70, it all becomes about command points, and crystals either will become useless or will be usable to purchase non gear items like decorations, or companion gifts or the boxes for heroic missions.

I like the Dark vs Light idea, though it would piss me off if I'm fighting a elite enemy and a bunch of random generated Sith jumped into the battle and killed me.
