I totally agree that commando shouldn't be used as a tool for wannabe Jedi (like myself), and I alsoagree that the game would be better if Jedi weren't implemented and instead the devs spent more time adding content and live events and crap like that. But as long as Jedi is in the game, I (and MANY others) am going to strive to be a Jedi. Also, as long as the commando prof. is the best means to my desired end, I'm going to be a 4/0/0/0 commando. I think that you are right in blaming the devs and not the players though. After all, asking players to not use the best way to become a Jedi and not removing it as the best way to Jedi, is in vain. If I were a commando from the get go, I would be pissed that people are doing this too, but I wouldn't expect the players to stop doing it, since it is implemented in the game. I would petition to the devs (not that it would have any effect) to have something changed.

Great...as if we commando's didn't have enough issues to get fixed...the jedi grinders are going to get what little about grenades work, "fixed". I hate jedi.

I hope the devs change the xp for grenades. I am a Master Cammando, not a jedi wanna-be/ force sensitive whore. But we all new this would happen. When they created this system we all knew someone would find out a way to get xp faster/cheaper. It just happened to be our proffesion that is getting abused. If the conversion for bounty hunter xp was 1 to 1 everyone would be a bounty hunter hunting jedi. If there was some easy way to get xp from creature handling everyone would flock to that. Players are using the system set in place to their advantage. They are following the letter of the law not the spirit. They should have kept the proffesion grinding system. At least with that you could always be gauranteed to find someone doing some of the more undesirable proffesions. I haven't seen an image designer online in weeks now. This whole force sensitive nonsense is throwing the economy of swg out of balance. I used to be able to get grenades cheap, now because they are the flavor of the week for jedi wannbes they cost an arm and a leg. Nerf it, nerf it now.

I just want any and all player Jedi removed from the game, right now.
Yes, part of me would like to be a Jedi.
No, I will not grind for it. Not now. Not ever.
I know and accept the fact that Jedi are supposed to be extremely rare in this timeline; over 98% of the galaxy's population is supposed to have never seen a Jedi, ever. I joined SWG accepting that knowledge, content with being a character that's just a mere mortal with no flashy powers.
Now that's all been thrown out the window: Jedi are everywhere, and our profession is being used and abused for the sake of FS grinding, which will lead to even more Jedi.
There are no words in the English language powerful enoughto express my utter disgust with it all.
I don't blame the players that much, not really; it's there, so it was meant to be achieved. That's why I blame the devs instead. They put it (the Jedi "profession") there to achieve when it should never have been available in the first place. They set the system up so that normal professions would be abused in favor of grinding Jedi, which I find to be nothing more than a slap in the face to those of us who are devoted tothese more"mundane" professions. The first grinding system was removed and replaced with another, which, like the old one, encourages using another profession (and to some extent, the devoted members of said profession) as a tool to further their Jedi grind.
But we know they won't remove Jedi; after all, it seems 90% of the player base wants to be Jedi, and the devs are encouraging it. They truly want this game to become "Jedi Wars: The Galactic Free-For-All."
If they won't remove Jedi, I hope they at least find the decency somewhere to change it so that our profession isn't being used as a mere tool for the Jedi-wannabes.
Not that I want to shove that kind of crap off on another profession, mind you, but I do want the system changed somehow, to something that won't encourage people to use/abuse other professions like this.

Ive been a Master Commando almost since launch, im grinding for my jedi and using nades to do it. Dont talk about everyone using nades to do this as being bad. I hate having to lose my Commando to be a jedi now but when i get my second slot, ill be grinding Commando right back.

Recently, i have noticed that when i attack lairs with my grenades, i get no more then 5 combat XP. I can kill a weak Hermit Spider with a genade, and get ONE combat XP, i can killa jawa with a grenade and get, you guessed it, one combat XP.
