Still think its the worst idea and is a continued trend in misinformation. Refrencing a different post here I'm gonna post what has been said about the combat rebalance.

Quit reposting pages of old text. Throw your tantrum elsewhere because spamming isn't helping your case.
Oh yeah, and back to the original thread (before it was hijacked by little brats who thinkSWG isall about them)
The Village idea is a cut above the lameness of holocrons, but not by much. On originality you guys get a F-, as for stalling the community yet again, you get a B+.
You don't have anything that could keep me interested in this game anymore, not even tie fighters and lightsabers.

Back when the game was launched, you (devs) said in the casual player would be unlocking after playing the game for a year. We spent the first 4-6 months trying to figure it out, trying all kinds of combinations instead of thinking simpleton, that you just have to grind out enough professions. Then you had to put out holocrons to tell us to grind professions, because we had focused alot on (gasp!) doing quests and such to unlock. Unfortunately, it was a system that didn't give the casual gamer a chance to unlock, because most jedi's I've talked to always say it took 25-32 professions grinded to unlock. Hardly something that the casual gamer could accomplish. I consider myself more than a casual gamer, and I've only managed to grind out 16 so far. I have been playing for over a year now, where is my fs slot you said I would have achieved by now?
Now you would like to implement a system that takes me back to playing guessing games. You want to make us jump through invisible hoops again, extending how long it will take us to unlock by who knows how long. I doubt there are that many players that are NOT playing to become jedi someday. Personally I am tired of waiting, and have absolutely no intention of playing your little guessing games again for 6 months to a year. While I welcome a quest system that certainly will show ALOT more ingenuity then just grinding out profession after profession, having to guess the steps along the way is insulting to me and anyone else who has done everything they can to grind out as much as they can to unlock. IMHO all your doing is rewarding those who didn't have to go to work, or take care of thier family, or anything else except play this game for 20 hours a day, and hindering the rest of us who have tried just as hard, but simply didn't have enough time. We should not be set back to launch, we should be able to continue on with the time we have available in a quest sytem much like the other quests in the game.
Given how hard the newer content you have been adding to the game lately, namely the ackley cave, corvette,and death watch dungeon, I have no doubt that you will purposely make it so hard that only those uber fighters with thier comp armor and million credit weapons can even have a chance in, I'm sure your already making the jedi quest system so hard that alot of us will never be able to complete it anyhow. Isn't that hard enough, that being a wookie CH I will have to team up with a bunch of uber ninja looters to even try the quest, let alone have a chance to complete it? I haven't been able to participate in any of the new content because I don't have uber armor that lets me stand toe to toe with stuff in the ackley cave, and I refuse to give up my pets I spent so much time and money to obtain in the first place.
If I'm going to play guessing games, I'm going to guess which other game will actually give me a fair chance to be successful in it, because obviously you have no intentions of giving me that chance.
Kkelly, i think you're all wrong here. You expect the "casual gamer" to be able to unlock without much work within a years time but you don't understand the problems this would cause. If every "casual gamer" unlocked by now (assuming they've been playing since launch) then what about the more-then-casual players and power gamers on every server by now who no-doubt have Jedi by now. You're looking at a population OF jedi, not a population WITH jedi, in which case the game would more then likely cease to exist.
Also, any thoughts that you are being "pushed back to launch" are rediculous. Every single profession that you've completed thus far will be rewarded in credit. What else could you ask for? Jedi on a silver platter?? I've completed 20 professions and I'm currently working on 21 and I have not unlocked but I do not whine about it because I'm not playing with a FS character. And if I so quickly got it (i've been playing on server since Jan. of this year) then what is so great about it? This should be something that is achieved, as you said, and not given away after a year of "casual gaming".
I'd suggest looking back over your options and maybe selecting a new profession if you're not happy with CH because you can't solo most areas, continue getting credit for the new profession and then jump into the quests. I garuntee you if you do this you'll find Jedi so much more rewarding because you will have EARNED it and not simply recieved it. Like I said, 9/10 jedi, the way you seem to want it, is hardly worth achieving.
