Many of us have been grinding professions like mad to get the jedi slot. I am near 20. This has been a significant work effort.
I don't feel like I'm exaggerating when I say that if you make changes to the system that determines force sensitive character slots and put all of us who have been working very hard on this for months back to the finish line, the exodus from this game will be of epic proportions.
The current system that is in place is terrible, but many of us have chosen to deal with it and are too far along to have that effort minimized. Please keep that in mind.
If the reqs are changed onus I will leave and take the 37 ppl in my pa and their 2 and 3 accounts with me...
this is total crap to those of us that have been busting our tails :*(
I am goign to cancel if all the effort into holo grinding, is goign to be tossed out the window. I and many people will cancel if this happens. If you change the way the jedi slot is opened.

Well everyone remembers when Yoda said "No, there is another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another, etc..."
Devs you have screwedup Star Wars Galaxies since day one. Did you even see the movies or read the books?
Making the FS a jedi oriented quest is a step in the right direction. Then I read that you are taking the permdeath out. You have to be joking.They have known from the start of SWG that jedis would be perm death.
Now there will be overflow of Jedis running around and nothing a BH can do. BH have to wait another month before the skills that should be working to be fixed. So they can have the tools to thin out the Jedi. The Jedis have had enough time to lvl up without the real threat of BH tracking them down.Do something right for once, when you put this jedi revamp in fix the BH droids.Right now as we speak we have a Jedi on Lowca sitting on his balcony using force push on another AFK character and no BH can attack him.
What I'm worried about is even if were properly compensated, who gets seeded out of it? I'm sure there have been some people who have mastered many professions and havent been holo grinding, and otheres who have been grinding but not doing it as fast as others. So how will the tell who to compensate and by how much?
Then theres the point of what if it takes another butt-load of time figureing out how to become jedi. So not only have the grinders spent endless hours acheiving a goal, but have now had the finish line stripped from them and hidden untill someone post a spoiler on the server forums. Worst case scenario ( people spend 2-3 months grinding now have to wait 2-3 months more to actully learn how to achive jedi then have to wait 1-4 months more achieving jedi ((depends on compensation at this point)), so you either have a wait time of 5-10 months.)
