TH and Devs.

3. People who did squat for a year, then 2 days ago went and got badges. I have no patiences for this type. YOu knew a year ago to grind professions yet you didn't do it. You waited for a quest based system, you got it and you still complain cause you have to take more time to get what you want. This makes zero sense. If you knew to get a jedi you needed to grind you should have started the grinding. Why did you wait? Cause you thought it would be handed to you on a platter?

so accomplishments in this game is just about badges and grinding professions? jezz looks like i been playing my professions to its fullest is none in your eyes

---

IT nothing in my eyes.

You have been playing you profession to the fullest. Good why be a Jedi then. If you wanted a Jedi you gave up the right to play your profession to the fullest.

This is nothing but whining.

IT's like someone tells you if you want to be buff you need to go to the gym everyday to be buff. As a response you tell them no Ill wait for steriods to be legalized.

Then as you siit and do nothing that would actually get you to your GOAL, others go to the gym and work out, and guess what? Their buff!!!!

So finally the day comes and they legalize Steriods, but guess what you still have to work out some to get benifits and it still takes time. So you complain so more.

Sorry, but it is disgusting to hear people whime cause they don't get what they want right now. The arguement I paid 15 bucks a month to play this game I should ahve a Jedi for doing nothing it is pointless.

You knew that getting a Jedi would be hard and time consuming last year. before the game came out, and now you complain?

I don't get it. You should have holo grinded, you were dumb to stop, why play your profession to its "fullest" when your just going to drop it for a Jedi anyway?

The point: You can't have your cake and eat it too!

The hologrind was assinine. This is a RPG not a grind-as-many-professions-as-you-can game. It was a stupid stupid way to do anything. I actually play the game. That is not "doing squat". I am willing to bet that I have been more places and seen and done more things in this game than you have ever thought about. I found pois before they were on the data pads. I did the rebel theme park when the best thing you got was Ackbar's stupid flight suit. Dont even think that because you did however many profs in a timeframe that you are some kind of power player or 133t player. You are not.

LOL. Your still whining.

I knew exactly what to do to get a Jedi, and I didn't do it but I deserve credit. Come on! The hologrind is IMO the dumbest thing since the hanging chad!!! I did it anyway. Trust me you haven't see ore of the game than me. I all but a couple of badges. I was in every story arc. I did the Imperial theme park when you got a freakin slave collar! I didn't grind until after I had as a commando and a bounty hunter( this is my chosen profession) when out and looked for stranded rebel pilots on dantoonie(not the yavin ones!) to get 4 holocrons. The I didn't open one until march 2004.

I am not a power player never wanted to be one. Everything I own is stock. No special armor, no krayt weapons, nothing but normal player amde goods. Im not l33t and probably neve will be.

What I do have is the drive to get what I want! When I head they where going to revamp the system I knew to get up off my butt and start grinding and I did. I did 27 profession in 3 months. I had 5 to go when I unlocked, and still had 2 weeks left!!!

SO wwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, You sat there and did your FOTM template and got your Fat loot, big deal I Freak grinded and got my Jedi.

You knew what you had to do, but you didn't do it don't blame the devs. This system is great, if I was new to the game and had ALREADY HAD A FREAKIN YEAR to get a jedi I would be very happy with it.

The net result is that the grind has not gone away. They have made promises that have not been kept. That is really the end result of this publish. The devs lie. They promised over and over to make jedi a quest based system. It is not. They refuse to answer questions. They have NOT given credit to the hologrinders as promised. The list goes on and on. I really could care less anymore about this game. I am feeling very used and lied to by our so called dev team. Its time to find a different game to play along with the other masses of people that are sick of the lies and the complete lack of content in this game along with the outright refusal to add anything worthwile. And when the question about when something worthwile comes along....the only answer we get is Jump to Lightspeed.... Lame. I refuse to spend more money than I already have just to get what I was promised in the first place. Anyway... I know that it really makes no difference but SOE will not get another dime of my money. I would rather take that money and set fire to it just to watch it burn.... At least thats entertaining.

>>I missed the part that said non-holo-grinders are in group 4. Could you post a link or tell me which page that's on?

Its right on page 1 - if you have 5 or more holo-professions to go, you are in group #4. I have waaaay more than 5 holo-professions to go, since I've never grinded and only have MASTERED 5 professions.

Ah... Yeah! Okey dokey.. But what is it about "if you qualify under the NEW system, you are eligible for a visit immediately." that is confusing? I think that clearly states to anyone who can read, that qualifying under the new system (The way they *want* you to do it!) is an *automatic qualification*(!!!) for a visit from the old man. Seems very clear to me.

( And... Someone really needs to go shoot the one star'rs. Its just dumb to one star a post you disagree with. One star posts that are rubbish... like "I'm quiting unless I get my Jedi now!", not differing opinions. Sheesh. ) [ Um... not that I think Nizaria was the one who one star'd my post. ]

You seem to have this idea that hologrinders are all afk grinders? Dont be a fool. Some people took the time and effort to master those professions, just because some people did afk macro's and other exploits doesnt mean everyone did.

Well it would seem you are wrong i did all 32 professions, ive been all day reading the no0bs, crying about not doing the old holo system, when they knew it could be the path to Jedi, and yet still didnt, and now crying about it. I'm sorry but guys, i pay the same ammount you do, i mastered all 32 at the KEYBOARD, and im sorry you guys can't be patient and let the folks that grinded out their souls to be a Jedi , not a casual player, have their day in the sun, although i havent gotten a visit from the old man i know that soon my time will come, and for that i do not regret the countless hours grinding my professions, yes something i did enjoy very much!

,Learning about the people, who will wait till the last minute to whine they dont get a jedi. I cant seem to figure out why the half that cry about not being visited are running all over the planets trying to do all the POI's and Quests, if you are not interested in being jedi, seems like the old Fox and Grapes story, 'well if i cant reach them i didnt want them anyways. 'Now i know a lot of you are going to flame me for this, and if so then have at it, its all good, this is a game i bought it to be a Jedi ,and i learned Quicky that grinding and not Cybering in the game, or Getting married, the regular role playing that i know some of you enjoy,was the only way to get what i wanted, what i paid for. To those that started thegame to late, im sorry this game has been out for over a year, bad timing maybe, and maybe you still think it is, but i will continue to play this game until the servers no longer cease to run. This game is prob the Best online MMORPG that i have ever played and yes grant you there are problerms in this game , can anyone point out one that doesnt? Just 1? For The jedi i will say this, this has been named the Jedi revamp, and yeah they revamped it alright, the robes dont work, force regen is so slow its pathetic, and they didnt get a reroll for the things they changed due to all the PVP role players in the game. If you dont like Jedi being in the game, go play Star Trek, no jedi there, If you have no patience, Flame and Cuss till you get banned, it will still not change the fact that yes we all have to wait, even me.

People like you just don't get it do you? We non-grinders were told that there would be a new system, we were told that it would put an end to hologrinding, because in their own words hologrinding became detrimental to the game.

That's why we got expectations of becoming Jedi and didn't start hologrinding! Because we were told we wouldn't have to! Now suddenly it turns out that we should have been all along! It's not our bloody fault that we were lied to!

Well, I didn't hologrind at all - in fact, I've never owned a holocron, except for a Sith Holo that I keep as a decoration. I've done 5 professions in the year I've been playing - Tailor, Merchant, Marksman, Teras Kasi, and Artisan, and there's no way that I hit all 5 holo-professions by blind luck. But, I've done all the POIs and have enough other badges to be "one with the force", so I qualify under the new system.

Well, which is it?
