Yeah, I did...was glowie, had all the required badges..but from TH's post It sounded like the hologrinders and ppl who unlocked had first dibs.....and everyone who only mastered a few profs, or didnt hologrind at all would be last....heh guess not...totally unexpected...and I dislike jedi!!
Congrats...but if you dislike Jedi I'm surprised you even play Star Wars? Unless your dislike is actually for Sony and it's poor implementation of Jedi into the game.
Don't shoot the messenger!

- Forced to target and kill overts to gain FRS...
- Not being hidden (breaking game continuity...Jedi showing off in public, no penalities)
- Initially how to get jedi (grinding) and how the jedi revamp came first before both the smuggler and SL revamp, and other profession needs and wants....
- Force Run....needless to say more!
- So many ppl having it when they should be rare (cant be helped now...devs must hide them to bring back continuity)
- Many are powergamers, and a great deal dont "act" jedish (except for the dark jedi...lol)
I love Jedi...they're cool, but I dislike the SWG Jedi due to the above reasons....Im a big Star Wars fan, and I know its hard to represent alot of things from SW in SWG, but SOE did a poor job that got them into a mess with the jedi craze....
SWG is one of the few SW games where you play as a non-FS character...and i really like it because of that....
Something along the lines of the Village was the right thing to do at the start, and having the *original* system that they threw away (blue glowies and such) combined would have been MUCH better in my opinion...because of hologrinders getting free xp and trees....we're going to see a great deal amount of more jedi now, more than devs i think really intended (especially as Jedi travel with lackeys, plus BH's being bad against them unless not in a stronggroup...no real death penalities - 200k is a lot, and loosing like a million xp due to grief or a bad day is bad...but it should be tougher in my standards....we need more jedi population control, unfortunately now our mains will become jedi, thats a whole lot harder now...)

Reasons why i dislike Jedi (not the Jedi Community mind you):
- Forced to target and kill overts to gain FRS...
- Not being hidden (breaking game continuity...Jedi showing off in public, no penalities)
- Initially how to get jedi (grinding) and how the jedi revamp came first before both the smuggler and SL revamp, and other profession needs and wants....
- Force Run....needless to say more!
- So many ppl having it when they should be rare (cant be helped now...devs must hide them to bring back continuity)

I've got a fairly eloquent solution to solving the problems with visibility, myself. You see, player BH's shouldn't be the only guys you have to watch out for. Perhaps, if you show off enough, a different old man could come visit you? 
Hehe, imagine some 1337 jedi showing off just outside of Theed when a Lambda class shuttle lands and the Dark Lord of the Sith comes walking out... Or maybe you're running around Mos Eisley wowing the noobs, and you see Slave 1 land nearby...
