Thread: Some stuff SOE said about jedi in the past. Read for a good laugh.
How are you going to keep Jedi rare?
Jedi characters suffer a form of permadeath. You do not lose the Jedi character, but all of your skills are deleted. In order to compensate for deaths that are completely out of control of the player (such as ones caused by network latency) each Jedi will be able to die a couple times before skill loss. The life of a Jedi is extraordinarily difficult, and successfully making it all the way to Jedi Master should be considered the most difficult challenge in the game.

So they know it should be difficult, but they don't do it.
Meh.
I say roll back servers to old system.
Old system ala Permadeath? unfortunately SOE does not have the ballz to do it. All the current developers who have insta rolled Jedi alts wouldn't go for it.

Did you miss that little story part in EPIV or V where it says that ALL Jedi are extinct?
Yah, it ranks right up there with Ben saying Luke was their last hope when there was Leia, and Ben saying that Vader killed Anakin.

I is a buisness bases on a story about Jedi, so people want to be Jedi. I dont think the SOE exec. back at corprit gives two craps about Jedi population as long as the holy 15 keeps rolling in
That's only an excuse to not make good solid content. If twice as much content was available we'd have half as many jedi. Most people went jedi because they were bored.
Make up your minds people. Do you want to hunt jedi? Or do you want none to exist. Geez.
How about when a Jedi dies, in order to avoid xp loss, they have to remain a ghost (invisible) - (x) hours for every (y) xp that were to be lost. That'll get them on the alts for a while. And hey, everyone hiding on Kashyyk does keep them out of the public eye. The jedi aren't dead, darth is just allergic to trees

Id gladly not be able to hunt players in exchange for even a reduced number of Jedi. I think most non-jedi (and even some jedi) can see the problems they are creating for the entire game.
