Quite simply because:
1. People don't wanna grind out godless knows how much xp, taking godless knows how long.
2. They don't want what could potentialy be just a few skill boxes be the difference between straight to Padawan, or grinding for months and months to get enough FS xp.
3. And alot, not all, but alot of people probably couldn't give a crap at how fun the village may be, they just want their Jedi that they've worked hard towards.


Like it or not, it's the truth.

I like the idea of what you are doing Devs, just wish something would come out officalliy for those peeps that haven't unlocked yet on thier silent holo prof. I can't ask for to much, so this is good. If a DEV can respond and let us know, that's be great.

Peace to the Rebellion and to the Empire...nay, kill the Empire

because when you only have 2 professions to go... it would be like giving up... which most us do not like doing... failure is not an option!

You're right...it's my choice whether I stay to grind the hellish PvE grind to initiate and then the hellish grind that is a Jedi's life. I wish Jedi advancement was a lot more about quests, puzzles, problem solving and some interesting storylines but it's not.

If they want to weed out the Jedi population by having them face a hefty hefty hefty (did I say hefty?) grind from foce sensitive all the way to knight....well, it's up to me to pay to play or shut it and go play KoToR.

Good advice G. But what about those us actually been playing since day one of this game with one mastered profession and who has refused to grind other professions? What reward do we get for having listened to your advice long long time ago?

I'm kinda lost...I have 75 Badges (all the poi) did Nym's, and Rebel Themeparks, and mastered 19 professions...yet I am only "strong in the force."

I have to say The Devs as they said have been talking and listening to peoples issues with the Reward for the Old System and that will go a long ways in making people see that The Devs do listen.

How its becoming is how it should have been. Those who unlocked after 9 Still unlocked. They were simply the unfortunate who unlocked then told you have to wait til publish 10 to get your jedi. To enter publish 10 with the old reward and say well you dont have to do village but have fun grinding another 140 Million xp just to get initiate was crazy.

With the Non Unlockers? I think it should be a nearly identical system. For each Branch unlock they earned that Branch is unlocked and the 4 skills learned in that branch automatically. Everyone who participated in the old System no matter how bad that it was should be as they said treated fairly. If you only did enough to get 1 unlock then you only get 4 free skills. Thats what you earned and thats what should be given. If you earned 5 Unlocks it should be 20 skills automtically learned.

I think the Devs are getting the idea that alot of us grinded and grinded and those who didnt unlock dont want to get shafted just like those who did unlock and were gonna get shafted are now getting fixed.

The way you are implementing the FS xp conversion the grind won't end for at least six more months of my gametime. You guys play on these servers. You have to know how grueling it is to grind that xp each day......grinding is not "Just Playing" or "very fun". That's why it's called the grind But we are faced with it as our blockade to what many deem the most star warsy and fun thing to be, a Jedi. Let's face it, Jedi are Star Wars.

At the current level you have to cap out xp at least once per day to hit initiate. Yeah, it's doable, but do I really envision myself capping out each and every day for six months (if I can do it each day) and not just getting burnt out and quitting. I love this game and have been here for over a year, but hate that it's turned into Grind Wars. Not everyone who plays has that mentality.

Quests are great. Love the content, the story and the atmosphere btw. TC2 phase quest testing was one of the best experiences I've had since playing.

We will announce the proportional credit for those who have not unlocked soon. It will be fair as well.

Because if we can get that one more profession in, we might unlock now. At the very least, we'll get more credit (please God, I hope so) towards jediship in the new system.
