Thread: Regarding the Jedi being a starting profession rumor
again, i HIGHLYdoubt this will happen. What about the additional char slots? will those be removed? and if you think there are too many jedi now...man u have no idea. not to mention the gcw will be dead(er) LoL if thats even possible. The other professions, with maybe bounty hunters will be played and for the space expansion. Its NOT a logical sony step as it will cause the game to burn out much MUCH faster than already. Sony would be killing themselves if they did that. And believe it or not, more people would be a jedi that a bh at that point (look at the age they shoot for). Jedi would be the most played prof. For those who say yeah more hunting for me, be careful what you wish for...
If u think u hate jedi now...

whats wrong with a casual gamer who doesnt want to spend months grinding jedi? BH takes long enough to get and hutning jedi provides a fun play time expierence that doesnt invlove putting countless hours in per loggin.
Are you on crack? MBH takeslike a week to get. If you're a casual casual gamer, maybe two weeks if you're in the least bit efficient. SWG has got to be the EASIEST MMORPG that exists.
Massive? Hardly, most servers are dead, save Bria, Ahazi, Eclipse.
Multiplayer? Yes
Online? Usually, unless you play on a European Server.
Role Playing? Ha! Not unless, "S.T.F.U Noobsauce! My BH/CM wit RIS will pwnz ur jet-eye!" counts as RP.
Game? The only "game" being played here is the one where you pay $15+ / month and SOE provides you with the buggiest game ever.
Rifleman for the win!

Attention span?
In the beginning, yes, but back then even BH took you quite a while; by now you don't need any attention span to grind jedi.

I suppose this includes the folks that used /respec creatively, double XP and grinding AFK on the Ryatt trail.
right, because lord knows all the jedi out there did that right? even pre CU jed, Even pre publish 9 jedi right?

I have come to the logical conclusion that Sony doesn't care about the long term aspects of this game. They want a quick buck off of it and whatever they have to do to get that quick buck, they will do it. That is why they will make jedi a starting profession. The evidence is too obvious.
A company doing the complete opposite of what Sony is doing is Blizzard. They want WoW to last and they are very determined to build up and KEEP their playerbase and to do that you gotta keep the playershappy. And as a result they are raking in tons, and tons of profit.
Sony = in it for the quick buck and don't care who they screw over
Blizzard = in it for the long term and determined to keep building and maintaining their player base
You don't need a degree in Business and Finace to see that Blizzard has the better model. Shame on Lucas if he gives Sony a contract ever again.

Get off it.
This point is just hillariously stupid.
Most of the people who don't want to be jedi (or don't want to be jedi anymore) simply choose not to become one. It's easy enough, it's not bothersome, it's not even a challenge.
Your point is totally invalid.
There will be people trying out Jedi because now they don't have to do what they refused to do (mindlessly grinding) but those who really got fed up with jedi won't change, I assure you.

Starting profession? Riiigghhhttt... That would be like the rumor that they will make Master Musician an Alpha Class profession with a one-shot kill anything button.
Why do you post this crap on the Bounty Hunter Forums? Try your own server you may get a better discussion.
You haven't heard? LawlAs we have seen, Jedi is gradually being nerfed and will at some point be a starting profession.
SOE recieved a massive ammount of feedback from people cancelling that jedi took too long and they got bored and cancelled.
This would also remove the alpha class problem.
Last but CERTAINLY not least...think of the $$$ SOE would make.
SOE is a business and a business exists to make money.
Bling bling.
(some vets would quit, most would not, and a large influx of new players would buy the game)
You are on the right track bro, except I think the REAL reason for cancellation is the lack of attention to bug fixes and unfinished Jedi issues and now the fact that Jedi is gradually getting weaker every publish that SOE is losing money. Their idea of making Jedi the starting prof will recover that loss, which is a good idea for THEM, but SUCKS for us.
I wouldn't be surprised if they eliminated player bounties altogether if they did this.

LOL, a typical text book answer from someone who has no clue about the challenge of becoming a Jedi. Unlike BH, it's not grindable in 2 weeks.
