You know what....i dont give a damn about jedi, but i do want to be able to play a normal prof properly, so Jedi stop nerfing them will you!! or else!
About as many times as there are posts in the Jedi forums asking to get rid of XP loss and BH missions.

Exactly what you said. People will leave and reguardless as to how much you, I or anyone else hates jedi this is an SWG community. To anger or say that they should be perma deathed is just suicide at this point in time as SOE needs every single account they can spare to keep this rock afloat for a little longer.

The way to do it:
1) Warn the community (in game and out).
2) Give Jedi a chance to respec out (let them keep the second slot)
3) Remove Jedi from the GCW
4) Reinstitute saber-tef in NPC city limits (exception - if under a BH tef, this prevents saber-tef)
5) If killed while under saber-tef, respawn at a force shrine on Dathomir
7) Enable Guardian and Sith factions (or whatever you want to call Light and Dark side) with only Jedi able to be part of the factions. An FRS that only counts JvJ PvP.
8) Convert a couple of little used POIs for use as goals in JvJ combat.
Great ideas,

Well let me throw this back at you. If I wanna play a Jedi, I'll go play - Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, Jedi Knight 2: Outcast, Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith(the game), Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles, Star Wars Episde 1: The Phantom Meance(the game), Star Wars: Obi-Wan. Shall I go on? That's 10 games right there where you go to be a Jedi.
Now name any Star Wars games from the last 15 years that don't let you play as Jedi.
I can only name 2(I'm disregarding the X-Wing Versus TIE Fighter games, and most Star Wars flight sim-type games for sheer fact that Jedi can't logically be put in those).
Star Wars: Battlefront, and Star Wars: Republic Commando.
(Also as a side note, they're even putting playable Jedi in Battlefront 2, so Battlefront's pretty much dismissable as a non-Jedi game as well.)
So I say to you, go play any of those 10+ Jedi games I mentioned, and let us real Star Wars fans(who realize there's more to the movies than Jedi) play our game without the Star Wars novices having to come in and transform it into another Jedi-dominated game.

**EDIT(again)**
It has come to my attention that iosskman's quote was actually sarcastic and he was making fun of the Jedi who scream that if you play Star Wars, you also play Jedi. In which case I apologize to iosskman, and remind everyone else else who misquoted him also.
Irregardless of his joke, to those who support Jedi so much in SWG, my comments remain the same.
To cover the other side of the "no Jedi in SWG" argument, I do have to defer to the Yoda "When gone I am, the last of the Jedi will you be" quote, much as everyone else has. If indeed what Yoda was saying was true, then the Jedi in SWG contradict that easily(not just existing, but in large numbers, to allow room for Yoda over-exagerrating the Jedi rarity). If he was lying when he said that, I have to wonder why someone would so blatantly lie about the truth like that on his deathbed. Granted, yes, the EU does say some Jedi survived. But the number of Jedi that survived, even in the EU were less than 10(ok I'll be very lenient here,less than 20). Not any number remotely approaching the hundreds, even thousands, of Jedi that exist in the timeline as told by SWG. With that fact alone SWG easily contradicts the movies AND EU, regarding Jedi anyways. That needs to be fixed to be made more in line with what previously stated sources have already established, or else SWG will have created a time paradox in the Star Wars unviverse(which is bad).
