I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 14 MONTHS!! I FINALLY UNLOCKED LAST TUESDAY!
WHY DO THE PEOPLE WHO UNLOCKED IN 15+ PROFESSIONS BEFORE PATCH 9 GET THERE JEDI CHARACTER HANDED TO THEM BUT THE PATCH 9 UNLOCKERS GET TO WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT.
FOR SOMTHING THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A MONTH AGO IF YOU DIDEN"T CHANGE THINGS!!
NOWTHE PEOPLE WHO NEVER UNLOCKED ARE LOST IN THE DARK WITHOUT ANY INFO FROM THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN PROVIDE IT!
YOU REALLY NEED TO GIVE THE PATCH 9 UNLOCKERS THERE JEDI AND OTHER CHARACTER SLOT
OR
MAKE EVERYONE START FROM SQUARE1 UNDER THE NEW SYSTEM TO MAKE THINGS FAIR FOR A CHANGE!
I WANT MY JEDI HANDED TO ME LIKE ALLOF THE OTHER JEDI THAT UNLOCKED BEFORE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
W T F IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?
STOP RIPPING US OFF MORE AND MORE THE CLOSER AND CLOSER WE GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAH I figured it out, to bad the devs havent. Ok so to be honest I have know for quite some times. Devs look you see the rage? Why are they mad at us we gave them jedi we gave this and that and we work our fingers to the bone and all they do is b*tch I know your saying it because I would, but I am going to tell you something, well two things
1) This has absolutely nothing to do with Jedi. Ok for some shallow people it does, but for the majority it has a much deeper meaning Content, Oh for the love of depth to be added to this game you would all be millionare if you just blew our mind on content. We want content till it is pouring out of our ears. I bet it could be even stupid stuff
2) Work on internal communication, that is your whole customer service Snafu that you have. See your a$$ isnt telling your head what its doing until the last minute and your head is getting a black eye everytime it speaks
And one more
3) eXtream Programming!!!!!! Learn the method quit this fly by the seat of your pants crap... One of the first lessions here is Write test first then if you fail your own test dont release.
Now Im not going to bring up the lies, decite, intentional misdirection, saying one thing and doing another. Im not going to bring it up because so many others told you about it. Seems like a heck of a liablity if you ask me.

What irks me about this the most is how the DEVS deny any change to the unlock system up until now. Everyone said it was 4+4 at one point, why not just be honest with us or at least transparent for christ sake we get treated like we owe them for paying to play. I for one have put much time, effort, and moneyinto this only to find the same thing is true: The DEVS operate under their own set of rules not controlled by the customers they serve nor a sense of fairness and honesty which normally one expects when they are paying for a service. Get it together and stop with the surprise your screwed updates. Its a little late now for you to say we shuold have grinded an extra 5-8 more professions when you denied that it was necessary at the time, the latest publish qualifications are a joke at best. Oh and just as you spring this on us as we should have, here is one for you.Maybe youshould have been a little more honest with your player base, put out some information from time to time. We deserve to know what is going on even if wedon't have the power to sway things, at least let us in on it. /rant off

im still as confused as heck..if anyone can give me an answer it would be greatly appreciated.
on logging in yesterday...i was glowing, had done 75 badges and had a silent holocron a Looooooong time ago, only about 17 professions done in total though (found swordsman and loved it to bits)
Where does this put me now?

This 'credit' is a completly joke.
NO ONE TOLD US EXCEPT FOR internalmemos.com that the hidden professions had been raised so it doesn't matter ONE BIT.
If someone did the the holos and the last went silent he should have 80% done ....... not 10 not 20 not 30 ..... 80% .
EVERYONE who had done the holos until should find himself one step away from the old man .
Now crafters have to get the corvette or the warran badge ......... really great idea . Again u screwed all the non elite fighters and honored the grinders which had done the most damage to the game. Nyms themepark .... ohhh wait is there somewhere on this plant a single NPC where u can cancel a bugged mission from nym ???????? no there isnt .
Now its grinding badges .... again grinding professions because most quests can only be fullfilled if ure a fighter .
A complete NON fighter should be able to do THE WHOLE THING TOO AND THAT EXCLUDES EVERYTHING THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FIGHTING. That excludes every themepark, the warran and especially the corvette .
Sorry im completly pissed off because of the farce u called 'credit'.......... yes players ...... u spend millions on holos which had no use afterall because u wont get any real credit for actions that should have been enough to fullfill 80% of theway .
4+1 ..... ure afterwards changes doesn't matter ..... give us the credit we deserve.

I have one thing to say to people who have recently joined the game and are criticizing the veterans for expressing their utter disdain for the devs. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT!!!! If there was a single time in this game's history when everything came out and worked as advertisedI cannot remember it. NEVER has a patch worked even 80% right when it is released. When this game first came out there were literally hundreds of issues, some of which have still not been resolved to this day. From factories not working, to bugged quests and NPC's, to the failed hologrinding scheme, the devs have let down veteran subscribers over and over again. To those of you who just joined this game **edit**, you have no idea how many times we have been dissapointed over the last year! The game as it is today is still nowhere near as solid as some MMO's who have been out the same amout of time, or in some cases, less time. Our frustration (veterans) is that this is yet another flopped patch full of bugs and situations that should have been anticipated by the development team. The fact that this patch is about jedi just makes it so much worse for so many people. Also, the devs have proven themselves to be untrustworthy by their own volition, just read TH's post to start this thread and you see that they raised the requirements to get jedi from 5 classes to 8 over the course of the game. This was NEVER announced, and we were promised that this raising of the bar would NEVER happen. So to the 100's or 1000's of people who would have earned jedi months ago if not for this sneakinessI offer my condolences. To those of you who are staying with this ultimately flawed game, have fun, and may the force be with you !<after your old man visit and your months of grinding>

Umm not sure if everyone knows this BUT:
the "Unlocks" caused by glowy means you will be visited by the old man in 2-3 days then you have to wait a undetermined period of time until you can get into the village....
THEN you do some quests for a day, AT WHICH POINT you unlock 1 branch of 4 skills that you THEN get to grind OVER 30,000,000 combat profession XP then after a month you can start a 2nd quest and grind another 30,000,000 xp......
By grinding Holos you skipped a day with a few small quests, YOU STILL HAVE TO GRIND HUNDREDS OF MILLION XP!
THANKS SOE!
they got rid of the grind for me 
I'm outta here!

What the hell are you talking about... what do you think jedi is, a crafter?? a dancer?? no. they are force weilders and elite in combat. so stop your sooking. as for the other people, if your havnt already unlock in pub9 or 1 hidden profession left then no, you dont get a visit from the old man till the already unlocked or hologrinders are done.
