Heyas gang, I need to make sure I understand this properly, if I do I will just leave the game.
Although I did do 1 Holo I didn't get any unlock free, not sure if I was supposed to or not, so I am doing this from scratch.
So, if I get 900k Swordsman exp per day, 900k Fencer exp per day, and 300k Combat exp per day, this taking 8-9 hours a day nonstop fighting squills in squill cave, I would need to play for 8-9 hours a day for 46 days non-stop just to unlock Padawen?
If this is correct, how did the system go from a grind system to a quest system? This is so backwards that anyone in their right mind can tell that even grinding all 32 professions is more interesting, and quicker, than the new FS conversion system.
Now, if this is correct, does anyone (TH) think there is some shred of intelligence in the SOE development team that will fix this?

Not likely...unless we stop paying our subscription bill til they make the game the way the consumer wants it.

I am having a blast with this.
I notice team work...
Anyone can do it, no matter what profession...
Thanks...
For me the fun is in walking the path, not the end result.

I GOT A PROBLEM,
i have a guildmember that grinded 11 proffessions and he got 4 free tree unlocks. i grinded 26 proffessions and got 4 tree unlocks. whats my payoff for working my tail off and someone else who just played with the grind. once again i am dissapointed in soe. i am a long time customer of soe thru many years of eq and now for the last year swg with 2 accounts. i am seriously considering dropping swg for good. i like the village you did a great job and i dont have a problem with me getting 4 trees i will grind out the rest but someone who grinded 11 proffessions shouldnt get the same credit as i.

You guys cheated us. you stated those that worked on the jedi before publish 9 would get credit when 10 comes out i was only 2k from opening the slot and all i got was enough exp to fill range 4 and that was it so thats 2 month of grinding for nothing. If you wanna be fair then you have to be fair across the board.

What can I say the devs **edit**ed us again. I have been here since launch done almost everything there is to do ground out 20 professions and got 0 credit gg devs you have sucked a year of my life away. I thank you for making my ass hurt from all the **edit**ing.

I logged on today waiting for my subscription to run out, In my email box I had recieved over 60+ goodbye emails (I lost count) from friends and people I didn't have on friends list. I thought people where joking but its becomming a reality check, I guess thousands of people have quit already since patch 10.
Sony you better get on the ball and stop horseyassing around with our money.

Well... i dunno...
i dont think i can grind till 2008 guys to unlock jedi
Thus i am finding a more enjoyable game that doesn't consist of everyone and their mother grinding for experience and not being able to enjoy content..
Is it so hard to come up with a system that has real quests and no need for grinding exp?
Is it so hard to search the depths of your imagination to develop a game and not some online chatroom in which people grind experience all day?
I mean what happens 4 years from now when i finally grind enough experience to unlock jedi initiate? Will i then have to grind for another 4 years to climb to padawan and so on and so on and so on?
I have two game cards that i will no longer need if yer interested send me a response and we can work something out

Hi, i think the Xp conversion table is wack as in my previous post. But as i read some other postings in this topic i get really confused.
One of you says u grinded 350k Xp in one buff, thats like 3h, another poster says he capped Mtka, Fencer combar Xp in 8-9h.
DAMN !!! im just curious the hell are u doing out there 
i did a powergrind yesterday:
i had 0 Mtka and 0 Fencer Xp coz ive just returned from Village. i got a buff in MO and started grinding. After 45 minutes i was Xp capped on Mtka, so i started Fencer... When i hit the Fencer cap i had 2h10minutes left on buff... As i had to logoff i didnt finish combat xp but it would probably have taken another hour and half to complete. thats about 3h30minutes to get 160k FS Xp... Its not that bad...
I still think Devs should change the conversion table to minimize the grinding eventho its done pretty fast. They should even remove the branch gating.
Well thats my 2 cents.

I was met by the old man at 1pm today on lowca server. 10.5 hours later he pops up at a shuttle port and says he needs to speak with me. I already spock to him so i clicked to see if he was there to tell me why the sith have not showed up. He then says that he has nothing to discuss with me and my journal is blank now. like i never met the old man at all. NOW IWANT TO HAVE THIS FIXED. This is obviusly a bug. Go in your database and fix my status please. No i am not joking about this either!!!
