With just a little sarcasm... our primary purpose seems to be shifting since the last patch,from hunting jedi to supplying smugglers with high-end slicing components. I don't recall anyone asking for that role, but that's what forced interdependence is all about.

True. I'm not too thrilled with forced interdependance either, really. I liked the way things were. But, I adjust. My BH is now a MBH/MCM/random skills for the sole reason that it is one of the strongest PVE soloing temps out there. Just lucked out that I re-finished the investigation tree grind at the same time they introduced the new BH loot.

I"m greatly amused by the fact that the profession that erroneously thinks they're "Jedi population control" is, in actuality, the single profession best suited for becoming a Jedi, able to max out FIVE lines of the same type of exp per trip to the village.

It is true that BH's are fairly much worthlessfor the role they erroneously think they are supposed to haveand actually serve only as an outlet for a type of player who enjoys jumping others.This should be recognized and embraced instead of sugar coating it and arguing that BH serve as a population control mechanims against Jedi- They don't anda player thatcharacter that requires 1/300th the effort to attain should never be expected to regulate or counterbalance Jedi. The logical counterbalance to Jedi in this regard is another class of character that coincides with Star Wars lore- The Sith. There were six major motion pictures made centering on the conflict between Jedi and Sith and not a single Star Wars movie ever made where a Jedi was hunted by a BH. This gameplay mechanic is aprogramming choice Sony made before there were any Jedi as a proposal to perhaps keep them rare, not something that necessarily should be removed from the game, but something that certainly has nothing to do with Star Wars.
