Totally agree

We won't get the overpopulation and timeline problems solved with the jedi protective attitude.
Jedi is a very special profession and should be treated that way. It has to have a great risk for the reward of being .5 stronger than other professions if it is to fit in a MMORPG.
There is no other way if the game is to survive. There are no other MMORPG's that has a uber-class like SWG has, and thats why SWG isn't working right now. No uber-class professioncan be indefinatly - it has to have a temporary form.
A majority of all players are furstratad or annoyed of the jedi profession. Even jedis themselves! Alot of jedi actually want permadeath back in some form. The only ones who don't want it are those who want to finish thier jedi template before they quit the game to be able to say they have been playing a jedi character in SWG. Today jedi isn't more special than TKM was back in the days.
I don't concider those who play jedi today as jedi - they only play a long-grind TKM profession with diffrent animations than TKM, but still same profession. There is no Force in SWG right now, only diffrent animations for the attacks.
It's not right of jedi to ruin the game for the rest of us. Jedi are the most powerful profession and the same profession is under huge inflation now.
We are getting flooded in jedi players. It ruins the SW-feeling and is totally unacceptable by real SW-fans!
Jedi should be unique and powerful.
It's a very selfishto run over all others that don't think jedi are cool. GCW and other overt PvP events are threathend by reckless jedi players running around infesting diffrent locations.
Furthermore the devs has stated that SWG is to take placebetween EP IV and V and NO officialdecisions from SOE/LucasArt has been made to change this, so I hope they are to stick to thier word and swing things around to fit the timeline.
Since it's against timeline and the game balance having as many jedi as thereare today, I don't see why SOE shouldnt find ways to balance the game again.
Nerfing jedi until they are the same as TKM used to be isnt a good way. That's against the very nature of what jedi represent in SW universe and totally unacceptable for all true SW-fans.

Jedi doenst take years to grind. If it tok that long for you, you must have done something terribly wrong when grinding. And furthermore it only takes a few weeks to grind a jedi today with the Kashyyyk expolits. I would say it takes longer to grind MBH today than it takes to grind jedi, cause you can't grind investigation skills AFK...So, if you selfish jedi players could accept that we want our GCW back and the regular professions being ordinary, we would appreciate it. Try to accept that jedi isn't supposed to be overflooding the galaxy and back off. Don't be so selfish and go around thinking 'I don't care about the timeline or the GCW as long I can play a jedi'.You are ruining the game for the rest of us while we wait for you to get bored playing in God-mode.Accept permadeath (jediskills loss when DBd) and server jedi population cap to save the galaxy.
Permadeath is not gonna happen again, get over it.
Here is an idea: Totally screw the star wars story line and create a new profession ABOVE jedi. Keep the current jedi the same or weaken them to thestrength of a regular profession (that would probably suck...), but allow them to work towards an even higher goal. The new goal will obviously have to be much much much harder to obtain, as to keep the umm..."Super Jedi" rare. Naturally, you would hvave to be jedi to work towards this new goal.
Another idea: Again, weaken the current jedi a tad, and their new hard-as-crap-to-get goal would be extra jedi abilities and the ability to have a higher combat level than everyone else. Imagine seeing alevel 94 Jedi running around.
Final Idea: Put yoda in the game and ask him.
