You all suck. All it is anymore is waiting. No new content just waiting waiting! I've waited long enough on this team and it's buggy system. Maybe I'll log on in a week and see about it then. In the mean time, the least you can do is tell us when which groupd will be allowed their visit.

There is more burning rage in the community. There is no excuse for how this was handled.

Wow what a bunch of ungrateful and pathetic players most of you are. This system is perfectly fine, they dont OWE you anything. THey didnt have to give any credit at all for hologrinders but they did.

HOLO SHOULD =SOME CREDIT. REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY.
This whole thing is a slap in the face to everyone who isn't a grinding machine. To anyone who didn't just play the game. To anyone who may have only done a holo or two.
First the combat balance gets delayed, and now this.
Grin, I 100% agree...back when we did holocrons, it was a total of 5 professions. I spent over a month grinding the 3 holocron professions. ...NOT TO MENTION THE 100's OF HOURS SEARCHING FOR THOSE HOLOCRONS ON DANTOOINE!!!!!!!!! I WANT MY FRIGGIN' CREDIT, OR BOTH MY ACCOUNTS ARE CANCELLED!!!!
You spent over a whole MONTH?! Aw, poor baby. I feel bad for you. No, really I do. (Okay, not really...)
Believe it or not, some people put in a LOT more effort than you did and I'm very glad to see that they're being credited appropriately. Some people put in eight months of effort and probably a thousand hours or more into the grind. Why should you get the same level of credit as they did?

Thank you that you postponed all the real important stuff for this strike of genius.

I feel like I've been r@ped. Hope you Devs had fun watching the anguish of everyone grind profession after profession. We all had friends unlock on 6-7 professions and thinking that our magic one could be just around the corner. I'm glad we could provide you with such entertainment.

Okay, this is what I hate about the devs, especially the ones who are supposed to "communicate" with the customers.
We are paying customers. We give you money every single month TO PLAY THE GAME. We do not give you money to sit around and do nothing.
The old man was tested on test center and always showed up within an hour. We were never told it would be different. This is how the change was presented to us.
Now you're telling us that the majority of us won't even be able to see the old man for weeks, and even those who automatically qualify for him, might not see him for a day or so?
Why not tell us exactly when the old man will show up for those who qualified? If it takes 24 hours of in game time to get him to spawn, I want to know. This change was presented to us as it only taking one hour, and we were given no word that it would be different in live.
I'm not paying money to sit around and wait on things to happen. I would like credit given to my account for the amount of time I've had to sit in game doing nothing waiting for mysterious hard time sinks to kick in.
You owe us a better explanation of how things work. You're taking our money after all. We aren't paying to have things changed on us at the last second, and to sit around and do nothing for days, possibly weeks on end, just because you feel like being coy.

Just go about your business and he will visit you in a day or so
As many i have some pretty strong emotions about this, but i will try to keep this forum post polite..
I have unlocked after Publish 9 .. and was told my path would continue today. Thankfully it was decided that we would be granted the XP to train our FS skills so we would qualify right away.
To quote the post that had this info "Just do the intro quest, pick the skills, and do the exit quest".
Now im here, after waiting for many weeks (!) to be able to finaly continue my journey and engage what i've spend all this time preparing for and looking forward to ... To find no one has had a visit yet and i'm dead in the water.
I've taken the day of work (silly i know but i was so looking forward to this), and it seems all im going to be doing today is .. nothing but wait..
Honestly, that just doesnt feel right to me, and along with many other people i'm feeling properly upset.

Can someone please clear this up for me.
- The amount of Holo-Professions you have mastered gives you a certain amount of FSXP to unlock a certain amount of boxes.
- Becoming "glowy" has nothing to do with holo-professions mastered but simply means you can have access to the village (once visited by the old man).
- All Holo-Professions mastered means I can have all the Force Sensitive boxes but I still need to work on being glowy so I can enter the village.
Which of these are true? Are any of them?

TH, I have a question.
I'm one of the people who unlocked pre-pub 9. Now, the idea of making my main (not my unlocked fscs) fs is appealing. How does this affect me?
I've done 32 profs, have 110 badges, Does this mean I'm in group 1, and qualify for 6 of the fs trees?

This is the result of making changes based on a minority of people instead of the majority. The majority of us want to play, RP, have a CHANCE at force.
But to be told over and over to wait while you make things right and answer the full-time uber seekers (minority) is insulting.
LOOK AT WHO HAS PLAYED FROM THE START AND ACCOMPLISHED MOST BADGES, QUESTS ETC. ALL WHILE HOLDING DOWN A FULTIME JOB??

SOE, you have messed around with me for the last time. While you said that grinders would be compensated, you NEVER said anything about how non-grinders like me would be PUNISHED for not doing it. The Force Quests were the last thing keeping me interested in this game, I got my badges to get my qualification only to find out that YOU ALL LIED.
I find the deceitful nature of the developers to be absolutley disgusting, and how in the world you expect to keep your customers after debacles like this I'll never know.
I'm telling you right now. FIX THIS. Remove this stupid traffic system and don't punish us for not following a system which you have denounced as utterly flawed or I will cancel my account, and I won't be the last person to do so.
