It's already like that for me, infact let me rephrase it, "but get used to full-temp defender after full-temp defender after full-temp defender after full-temp defender..."
Yah, no kidding. No sense in taking ANY chance with exp anymore. FOTM all around.
Jedi solo in the CU will take ALOT longer, trying to kill an equal level MOB will kill your force with heals and the LS speed will be slow, have you tried grinding as a paddy in the CU? As a paddy with 2600 force, you'd have to channel after each kill, it'll be alot slower than group grinding. I don't know if this is a good thing to BHs or not, but I personally have given up on Jedi missions due to meeting constant full templates with defender in them.

There is a very simple equation I have put together, which goes like so: Jedi grinding longer=more time to gain vis=more time to hunt (newb) jedi=more money/xp/pvp rating.

Actually its :
jedi grinding longer = exp more valuable = jedi will run more often
kkthx
Don't forget cloak. Snare mob. Run. Cloak as soon as even a hint of a player mob hits the radar. Now, not only in case of a BH, but incase of some jerkus thinking it's cool to intentionally give a Jedi who's trying to play by the rules vis.

Why would the solo group be back?
XP is divided by number of group members; i.e. in a full group you make 1/8 xp per kill. However, because of the other group members you are with help you kill each animal 8x quicker. Also factor in the added spawns per member and the sit time you save between kills thanks to medics, and you are making XP much faster than what you would solo.
Yes, it will take longer to complete your template, but I really can't say I have any sympathy for the newer guys. 1 week for a normal template and a month for Jedi is way too fast. Sure beats the hell out of the 4 months it took me to grind MBH back in '03
The biggest fault of this change is that low CL players will be discriminated against by higher CL group leaders. Previously it didn't matter who was in your group as long as the lair spawned enough mobs and the mobs went down fairly quickly with two CL 80s. But now that those same CL 30s will be slowing the XP and not doing any more damage, the 80s might opt to pick members who will give more bang for the buck. This of course can be remidied by players simply grinding with similiarly leveled players, but that could be a hassle.

And thats if he is on the terms. And lets not even get into the jedi who decide to stay inside there house to keep the chair warm while they go do erands/work.
Saber envy? Before we start assuming things, can we atleast learn some facts? I've been a jedi, I've ground out a jedi, Pre-CU, and post-CU. I have alot more fun on my bounty hunter, compared to my Jedi.
My response to your post is to simply learn how to write a sentance, one that's legible, and maby, just maby, I might respond to you.
Before attempting to correct the grammar of others, it's always good to check your own...
Sentance=WRONG
Sentence=RIGHT
Mabe=WRONG
Maybe=RIGHT

I know what typo's are, should I post you a link to a Spellchecker? My point was, you use poor grammar to try to insult someone else's grammar. That's the same as a fat person telling other fat people "Man! You are FAT! Lose some weight before trying to talk to me!"
See the hypocrisy here?

From what I hear,before the cu you could solo a lot of stuff because there wasnt a cl.Now a low cl person new to the game will not be able to get in good groups nor will he be able to solo to many mobs his own level and wont get any xp for killing lower then his cl.The new guy seems to get hit pretty hard,sure the jedi grinders are taking a small hit but they will have enough time into the game to get friends to help them.

do you mean what once people were gettin 6000k xp per kill are now getting 200 xp?!
from what ive heard of people xp is about 1 tenth what it once was...but you get full xp for solo hunting. the solo group is back basically
Yah. And the full terminals will be gone soon. Nobody is going to take a chance with vis when it's 4-32 hours to grind back xp loss.
Jedi will grind, they will always grind. The terms will always have missions.
Jedi can grind without getting visibility. The terminals will be full with Jedi, yes, but 99% of them will not be the grinding Jedi.
