I would like to say off the bat that
Yes, I am a MBH.
No, I did not respec. (Actually respec'd with less in BH so i could get some in rifles
)
)No, I do not hate all jedi, there are some I have met that have been cool.
Enough of my story. I was on the official galaxies website and saw that they had some TV ads on there, so I decided to check them out. I forget when in the advertisment it was but somewhere something along the lines of "Become a Jedi" was said it an enthusiastic voice and then cool jedi video clips ensued. It seemed to me thatjedi is becomming a large selling point in their new advertising campaign, so I find it only expectable that catering to jedi would also be their number one priority. I don't think that jedi is actually "difficult" enough now, it may be a long grinding process, but it is meerly long, not difficult. However, I would not be surprised to see more changed to be made to jedi to make them less difficult to obtain.
To close this, I dont care if anyone gets mad at me. If your opinions are different than mine so be it. I have not grinded jedi so do not know first hand how long it takes; however, I have spent the same amount of time playing the game (possibly more) than most jedi, just have not devoted it to the mindless grinding. And I have the glasses to prove it

The path to Jedi is time consuming ... therefore it is SOE's cash cow.
SOE will do everything to please Jedi ... that's it. Live with it, or quit. The MMORPG concept with different professions was abandoned like 6 months ago ... nowadays it is KOTOR online.

They are milking the last bit of revenue they can out of this game with the one huge draw that they have left. As a player sure it is upsetting. As a business it makes total sense. Don't let yourself be fooled by anything any CSR or developer has ever told you. They are simply employees of SOE. The one and true reason for this game to exist is to make money. If they can generate more revenue by advertising and making Jedi easier to obtain they will not hesitate. If you think this game was created to give fans and gamers a place to live in the Star Wars genre happily ever after you are fooling yourself.

I disagree, if it were KOTOR online the allignment system wouldn't be a joke, the obsurd influx of jedi would fit the time period, and I'd have a cool assassination droid with a british charm module and a fixation on the term "meat bags".
.... I want SOE to branch SWG into KOTOR online and its current state, and then finally nerf the f***ing jedi into extinction once and for all. You'd still be able to play the scoundrel etc roles in KOTOR, but jedi in SWG would be equivalent to a guy with a resperator, a whiner, and a green dude whos semi retarded.
