"holo-grinder" 's , as you so aimlessly put it, responce

Let's think about this.. the old system of unlocking a jedi was to "grind" off as many professions as you could essentially {doing your holos and then approx 1-4silents). We are not power levelers, we're just people who wanted a second characted slot and a jedi. Yes, they have changed that route... I can tolerate the comments that those who "received" a couple easy badges in a few days work would be mad that they have to wait longer then others, I agree.. but those claim we shouldn't be rewarded for leveling.. that hits me personally... let's think about it. You got to enjoy the community and have fun with your profession(s).. entirely your choice! I, and many others, on the other hand were working almost 24/7 grinding as hard as we could to get a 'JEDI' and "A SECOND CHARACTER SLOT".. it is only fair that our hard work, and lack of any real content (again our choice since we wanted the fs) should be credited accordingly.. if it was something random; for example we just grinded off professions for fun or for the sake of it.. or maybe some uber reward -> and then they decided.. well hey anyone who did holo-grinding will get credited toward this new objective... BUT THE POINT IS.. you decided to wait for the 'harder' but 'more contented' route... so stop f*cking bitching... its going to take your asses even longer now... and for all those who continuously talk '**edit**' about why we don't deserve it.. think of this.. i grinded 31 profs and didn't unlock... u did a couple (maybe ur base holos).. I spent endless nights/days working toward gaining a fs... You played with you guildies, hunted, socialized... etc... if you honestly think we should all start at the same spot.. u can drop dead.. the fact is if we were in the old system still... we would be unlocking as usual.. and u wouldn't... ONCE AGAIN.. i support those who are complaining about waits... hey i have to wait a few days too.. but why are u complaining now? you haven't strived for a FS ever... so why is the crutial... I haven't seen been invited to the city.. been city here since reboot...

when the hell did the number of profs get increased to 8? I never remember seeing anything about this......so now i guess instead of automatically qualifying because i had 1 prof left.....i now get plunked all the way down to group 3 with 4 profs left? Why the hell wasn't everyone told about this increase in prof requirements...I have talked with several on the valcyn server and they all still assumed it was 5 profs not 8.





read TH's opening statement on page 1, as more people opened the amount of slients increased. haha, i cant believe you would listen to ppl that stay so simple-minded. the jedi system is organic, so yes it increased the random prof. lol, told ppl this for weeks as the 4+1 method was definitely changed after Pub 6..but did ppl listen..no "youre just a bad guesser jay" hahahaha...i'm right they were wrong

To be clear:


What Group am i in if I am Glowing? do i automtically qualify like it says in the last sentence of the first post? and does that mean i am in with the first group since i was glowy before pub 10? or do i have to wait until all the post 9 unlockers and all those with some holo's done?

Its like someone said earlier, the devs consider us a small sampling of the community (their term to refer to customers). If a small amount do alot of complaining, but they see no drop off in subscriptions over thenext few days, then they'll consider this publish a complete success. Its pretty much what Q said in that infamous interview everyone quotes.

No mikheal , it was your choice to participate in a rediculous system, most people refused to. You're reward should be the "joy" of having experienced all those fun professions.

I too have been to the Aurilia Villiage only to find 2 OTHER PEOPLE THERE!!!! Is 2 people that big of an amount to stop the people who want to explore this new content a good enough reason? 2 PEOPLE, I mean c'mon, you've got to be kidding me. Obviously daily monitoring hasn't been happening and probably won't.

Anyways im just confused as hell and i wish the devs would just tell us what the hell is going on cause right now its just one big mess.

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!





What? You thought you'd be able to get a Jedi character handed you on a silver plate? How could you possibly think there would be a way to allow only a small percentage of player to become Jedi that didn't involve an insane amount of grinding?


BECOMING A JEDI IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE INSANELY HARD. Get used to it.


You weren't lied to. No one ever said you wouldn't have to grind. They just said the hologrind would come to an end and, thankfully, it has.


Now suck it up Your Worshipfullness and get to work.

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand that if you mess up people getting creature handler it'll cause a yell, and if you mess up people getting jedi it'll cause an earthquake.

Don't be ridiculous, I thought what I was told, that with the new system, everybody (i.e. non-grinders) would have access to a series of quests to become FS, then Jedi. That's what I mean. I've never expected to just be give a Jedi nor does my post imply as such.


It is however moot if Thunderheart's post means what I think it does. But then if he could bloody *clarify* the issue I'd be greatful.
