Too many Jedi are far to arrogant and light the glowsticks up in starports, especially Theed. I completely agree - take away an expensive glowstick, take away the arrogant Jedi's want or desire to be dumb about using it. This is suppose to be a rare profession, not one that is more common than a Master Artisan spam advertising or a Master Dancer AFK dancing in a cantina. This, without the perma-death they are all so worried about, would put them in hiding more. No more 8 man Jedi spin groups on Dant either. No loss of the toon, just the loss of the expensive glowstick . Besides, this would take care of the problem of pre-CU sabers that are so much more powerful than anything we have. Eventually the arrongant Jedi would lose his prized possession! It also fits with the movies - remember Grevious taking dead Jedi's sabers?

Firstly - It's not about Jedi being arrogant - it's about having fun playing the game. This is a multiplayer game - I play it purely to play
with my friends. If I wanted to be solo all the time I'd be playing KOTOR. I do not generally use my saber in starports unless I am PvPing, but I
do use my saber around other people
all the time because we play the game and enjoy the content
together.
I played Jedi during STEF, skill loss and permadeath days, and I loved it. And yea, I still used my saber in front of other people because it was still a multiplayer game. I knew the risks involved, and I accepted them - I would not accept the risk of losing 100 million credits worth of lightsaber just because I want to play the game with other people --- why is it that I accepted permadeath risk but would not accept this? Because back then, Jedi was actually good and as a 4444 Guardian I was extremely difficult to kill - now I am soloable by anyone with halfdecent PvP skills and a good set of equipment. You are clearly new to this all because you seem to think that Jedi is still uber - WE ARE NOT. You comment about our sabers being 'better than anything you have' is absolutley ridiculous and shows how much you clearly do not know. My best saber does an average of around 950 damage using improved power attack on a knocked down, armorbroken opponent --- or I can log in my swords toon and with my powerhammer do anywhere between 1200 and 1600 depending on landing with my powerhammer using Improved Critical Strikeon an opponent under the same conditions - AND, my swordsman wears a full suit of armor loaded with attatchments, heals for 6-7k health every6 seconds as opposed to my Jedi healing for 1500 every 6 seconds AND she has intimidate and warcry.
My swordsman, who took about 2 weeks to grind and about 30 million credits to equip, can tear through a Master Defender/Lightsaber Jedi in a matter of maybe2 minutes - and that's IF they last long enough to find thier avoid incap key.
Conversely, even if I win at all,it will take me about30-40 minutes to kill a Master Swords, 4004 Doc, 0300 TK, 0040 Pike templateplayed by someone of equal skill to me,using my Master Saber/Master Enhancer 4040 Healer Jedi - or maybe an hour and a halfusing my Master Healer/Master Enhancer 4004 Saber Jedi -- IF I even get that far before my force runs out and I can no longer even swing my weapon using the defualt attack.
You need to get the hell over the fact that Jedi is not good - regardless of template - we are jacks of all trades now and masters of none. When I was a 4444 Guardian back in the day I could laugh off and murder groups of 5,10 or even 15 people ---- these days, if I run into more than 2 at a time and stasis doesn't stick on the first attempt thenI might as well either lay prone or hit forcerun3.
