Over in the Jedi forums, they are discussing an issue that has implications for grenades...if it is true then using grenades to rack up larger than normal amounts of Combat XP is an exploit. That means grenades have no non-exploit value whatsoever outside of RP.

"Jedi XP" works like "Combat XP" in that, for each kill, you x points of weapons XP (in the Jedi's case, lightsaber, and in the commando's case, heavy weapons) and you will also get 10% of x as "Jedi XP" (just as non-Jedi get a 10% bonus of Combat XP). When you use force powers to damage a creature (like lightning), you get Jedi XP directly, rather than Lightsaber XP)...in exactly the same way we can get Combat XP directly by using grenades.
If Jedi using the Force to get Jedi XP is an exploit, then it's hard to see why it's okay when we do it for the Combat XP.
I assume it would be okay if our grenades never gave us any more Combat XP than we'd have otherwise gotten using, say, our flamethrowers, but then we'd likely use our flamethrowers for the most part.

Its true, but not an exploit. You need pistol exp to get up the pistol line, u need combat exp to get up the grenade line, its actually how it should be. Jedi are the biggest exploiter of all, they are just trying to detour the spot light off them. Our droids now cause BHs PC to crash, dont hear them calling that an exploit or to fix it when yet again they have nothing to worry about while they get xp.

Oh, almost forgot, jedi are just used to grinding and what jedi to be just another easy grind for them. The jedi Ive seen just dont know what Star Wars is about, they are just powergamers with no lives. I had one tell me that she had a life, plz, if u are a jedi guardian or even a jedi, u have no life, face it. Well, they do have a life it just consist of staring at the computer's monitor and grinding their life away. Sad really. I play maybe 4 hours a week and I dont see how they can play more than that unless they come home from work, dont say a work to the their family and go play for hours. I call them power-hermits.

What the heck? If grenades aren't supposed to give combat exp, then why do they require combat exp to be used? I don't see any grenade exp that it would level up instead.

lol maddog, i have no idea what you are talking about!!
i know you have a jedi, but i think most of us dont. i figured out that fp must mean force points, other than that maybe you can expand a bit. or i can look in the jedi forums hehe
