QFE
Another thread regarding the immanent problem of Jedi overwhelming the game.
your forgetting that most people sell their account on ebay when they quit to make money, trying to make jedi quit doesnt fix the problem...

There are way too many jedi around, Jedi should be mysterious, hidden and it should be a surprise to see them - and to get to it should be 10 times as hard (not only time-demanding but actually hard). What SWG is like now: 1/5 (at least)of the population are Jedi, and every night in theed 20 Jedi are battling vs each other...What kind ofstarwars feeling is this...The devs wanted to give the game more of a starwars feeling by adding the CU? I have no opinion about that but it's quite hard to achieve any type of starwars feeling withALLthese Jedi running around, half of the people pvp'ing are Jedi. This game is leading toward a total Jedi war, like the Jedi Knight games (ok maybe a bit exaggerated lol). But let's face it, there is no way of "fixing" this. Adding perma-death or major XP losses and go back to the old BH hunting system would be considerable, but it would make Jedi mad - and resulting in people leaving etc which means less money for SOE.
My point is that - making a game that reflects the starwars saga ispractically impossiblesince everyone are "Jedi-freaks" and are willing to do almost anything and spend any amount of time to become one.
I just wish the game was different...
thats because they included jedi alts in the figures a$$hat.

Maybe if more than 1:100 BHs weren't newbs and actually had some skill and decent equipment then the Jedi wouldn't be in sight.
Maybe if BH stopped looting Skill Tapes for a while

Yeah, theres only one solution to this problem...it's in my sig.
If you die three times in a week as a jedi you should loose all your jediskills and return to be a regular character. Not loose all items, creds and vehicles. Theres NO other way to cut back on the number of jedis...they are only growing by the numbers..and when players get tired of playing them..they get ebayed and keep loitering the SWG world.
All that not workable du to technical issues, loosing subsrcibers, etc talk - I dont buy it anymore. If you have X number of kills per week you can aviod getting PDd by technical issues. Just stop playing for a week if you had bad luck, and log in your BH alt character. Loosing subscribes - NO, dont think so...might get even more subsribers if jedi were hard to reach and get...theres no thrill in jedi today. Easy to get, not mysterious, even easier to survive as, not that group vis / PVE death penalty is gone.

Bring back Permadeath and set a server cap on jedi population!
I agree with the population cap for Jedi...
You could still unlock your jedi but couldnt use it until a space came up on the server.
Although this has as much chance of being implemented as the Devil does of making a snowman..
