We need advancement beyond master!
Who here hasn't felt the onset of boredom at somepoint after you reach master(please
don't say Jedi is the answer...I am a jedi...my template is complete and the game
is fast becoming boring and repetitive)

I propose a system that allows advancement beyond master by allowing players to buy
more skill points with experience, badges, and quests. Reward those who play!
more skill points with experience, badges, and quests. Reward those who play!
For example, your a TKM and have been for months your getting BORED...it would be
nice for your continued play to be rewarding and we all know credits don't mean a
whole lot. So we change the xp caps to allow you to accumulate 5 million xp at
master. You can then exchange those 5 million xp for 5 skillpoints. The next level
after master you have to get 10 million xp and do a quest and you get 5 skillpoints.
The possible coinage for such a system could badges, xp, quests or any combination.

With this type of system you can add skills to your character, levels beyond master
don't have to just add skill points they could add resists, damage,etc.

Please, SOE! part of any good game is the thrill of increasing power and skill.
Allow the player base to continue to advance or people will definately find other
games that will.

I know the first cry will be BALANCE, folks let me state for all or you who haven't
figured it out. BALANCE IS A SHAM, IT CAN NOT BE DONE AND SHOULD NOT BE A GOAL! The
reasons are varied. There is no reason a TKM with 2 days work should beat a TKM that
plays for months(the investment of time and effort should mean something). In fact,
in most cases they will not because the vetran player knows how to play BETTER! Yes,
people sometimes there is someone out there who is just plain BETTER...and its OK..
really relax you don't have to be uber from day 1.

I was at comicon, and played JTL.
The char I was playing was Master Rebel/Imperia/neutral pilot (not something you can achive, just something they can show off all the ships in). So I wasn't picking up any exp.. But, I was picking up Presitge Points.
What are prestige points? Apparently you can buy **edit** with them, what stuff? I don't know, and I don't think they know yet either. I asked if this was planned for the ground game, he said they might work it in.
Which probably means "Hey that's a good idea! We should do that! I wonder if it'll be hard to implement."
