Ok. heres the deal. Now, granted, Some people may dismiss me as a loser or as a geek. But I love Star Wars. Thats why I have been playing this game for over a year. From the time I started I thought that even having an option for players to go jedi was...at best...ridiculous. No matter how hard it was to get to Jedi. Why? Because in the Time period that Lucasarts set SWG in there were only 3 known Jedi(Obi-wan, Vader, Emperor Palpatine) I'm excluding Luke because he was not a jedi yet and Leia because she didnt even know she was force sensitve yet. So get off my back. Anyway, the system was already faulted. But Like I said I love Star Wars so I have played it. Now, for the last 5+ months they have been focusing on a Profession that was never even supposed to exist in that time period. How many of you artisans, Smugglers and BH's, Etc. know there are obvious problems with your profession? How do you feel about Lucasarts only focusing on what appears to me to be only about 1% of the player population? We pay money too. And I can gaurantee all of the professions combined over the jedi pay a LOT more in comparison! Thats like everyone in america Voting and then the government saying..."Well, this election only Rhode Island's Votes count, the rest of you make sure you vote in 4 years and MAYBE we'll pick your state to be the lucky one!" So...I gaurantee if our economy worked like that everyone would move to canada. So I suggest to you SWG players. Do what I'm doing. Still love Star wars, Still watch the movies and read about it constantly. But go buy a copy of "city of heros" like I did 30 minutes ago and let the Jedi get their money's worth. Adios SWG, it was nice knowing you while it lasted.
this is the post i was reffering to... stupid "can't edit until 100 posts"

ok i have a few questions i unlocked inbetween patch 9 and 10, why isnt the old man looking for unlockers already first. second i heard now you cant get another slot, i find that unfair because people that unlocked prior to patch 9 get 2 characters and pay 15 bucks a month and people that unlock after that pay the same price for 1 character

...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out...in anger and frustration....
Thunderheart, I have two quick questions for you:
1. How much credit would one get for 26 professions, plus all the POI, hero, warren, and themepark badges...
...26 professions is a lot of work, sometimes it was moreboring than accounting, and the majority of us hologrinders are in and around this figure. If we learn that we are in group 3 because because the number of silent professions went from one to four...well...lets just say world of warcraft is very close to becoming a reality. This is not a threat, but a reality. Most of us want a jedi character, but our patience is running thin. Furthermore, it is more than a little upsetting to learn that you grant full padawan topeople who unlocked with fewer professions and badges, not because they played more, but because they guessed correctly.
2. How do we learn when we can expect a visit from the old man?
...I spent 6 hours playing today, and guess how much of that time was spent staring at my radar and overhead map... Am i foolish to spend this much time doing almost nothing for fear of missing the visit from the old man? Perhaps...but I had hope that something, anything,would happen... Am i going to do this for up to three weeks straight? I'd rather shave with a cheese grater.
Thats it, TH...thats all most of us want to know...how much credit do we get and when will it happen.
Firm answers please, no vagarities.
Thank you.
PS: You will eventually havemore jedi running around your game than you know what to do with.Delaying this by a few weeksdoes not change the inevitable, it only upsets your clients. Accept it and prepare with new content. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising known to marketing. Enraging your longest paying customers creates the negative word of mouth: a deathblow to business.

Dont call it jedi trails .... better call it screwing the community .
4 holos done 80% of the way fnished ... because we were all told its 4+1. ure secret changes doesn't matter one bit .
everyone who went upon a silent holo should be one step away from the old man ..... and again u honored dumm profession grinding which u would end because of changing the system .
thanks from all the guys who didn't follow ure first screwed hologrindsystem and now got screwed again because they didn't .

Just got done talking to my jedi guildies on Bria.
They ventured out to the villiage to check it out and get some of the quest loot...
I was surprised to find out its a ghost town. They said it was them 2 and they occasionally bumped into another full jedi out checking it out as well.
How tight is this gate? Seems awfull tight.
Of course this is at midnight Pacific time...but really...I would have expected much more considering there is always a race to the new content....

LOL...why do you people BOTHER moaning and groaning about anything pertaining to this game? DO YOU think the DEVS or BH or any 1 else take a blind bit of notice of what you think. the answer is an unequivical !NO!.. will you get them to change anything NO. do you hink they give a *^&k or a rolling doughnut what you think NO.
i would not abase myself infront of them by whinging on deaf ears. im not what could be construde as a veteran as ive only been on server for approx 6 months but ive put some hefty time in..ive ground 20 proffs but have spent a lot of time RPG too. then the devs have an idea to make people stop grinding and settle into professions and move thew goalposts to the other side of the pitch...so now all us people who have invested time and energy into grinding a jedi now have to start with the new guys from the beginning...
BUT as said...why bother saying this even in this forum because to be honest..they get their wages and obviously dont give a damn for the people who are paying them...
this post is meant to be for the eyes of other SWG gamers to make my feelings felt..
BH and other none entities dont bother even replying because you tell so manypeople liesyou must find it hard to remember your last uttered sensible statement.
carry on gentleman
if the people upstairs think this post is "not constructive critisism" please feel free to strike me down because i assure you i wont be coming back more powerful than you can possibly imagine...
