Here is my problem

Two days ago i was a doctor / tka lvl 80 player, Yesterday i decided to try out the pistoleer profession by losing some doctor skills, i managed to get reasonably far into the pistoleer profession yesterday but decided it wasnt really to my liking and left it at that point last night. I logged on this moring hoping to go back to my original template of doc / tka only to find the the group xp ratio has been changed.

Even in a group of 8 players i am only getting 900xp per player/mob heal.

I wouldnt have been so bad if i had known the amount of reduced xp you were going to remove for being in a group, I am now stuck with a lvl 63 character that will take ages to recover the xp to get back to lvl 80.

I guess it may be a case of me trying for another profession at the wrong time, but the lack of info on SOE part, i wasnt to know..WAS I?. and i wouldnt have surrendered skill points and lost the best part of master doctor.

The least you could have done was to give us a good warning before you did this, as well as the village xp force conversion goes, for me and other long term loyal players, YETAGAIN wehave been shafted............!!!!!!!!!

BUT I EXPECT YOU DONT CAREAND WILL DO SOD ALL ABOUT IT...WILL YOU.

Yeah its fing ridiculous.

I did manage to figure out a really ridiculous way of getting 3.3k xp though solo, but you must be of upper level and have decent combat capabilities.

Basically, I'm master rifles, master bount hunter and 2000CM wanting to go 4000. (going to stop at 3 until they fix this crap).

Basically, take lvl 81 bol mission lairs, then shoot one, (don't have default attack, they die to quickly) and let him beat on you over and over again until your mind is at about 50-75% from healing. At that point finish him off and you will recieve a decent amount of xp. Very easy, very afkable, but hella slow.

I'll be the first to admit, yesturday I almost canceled all of my accounts. It really didn't have anything to do with the XP taking a hit, what I was so frustrated with was the fact that this one change just put us back to where we were at prior to the CU...a system that I totally hated.

The patch does nothing but hurt Low Level toons and support classes such as Medic, CM, and Doc. Because your right, no one is going to take a healing that is there just to heal, regardless what level you are. You are "taking XP" if you don't pull your weight as far as Damage. It just turned a "Group" game right back into a solo game, regardless how fast you kill something.

This game has always been my favorite, because it is so flexible with what you can do. Now, they are seriously limiting that for everyone that plays this game. It has nothing to do with Jedi, or how many, or how strong or anything like that. This patch has effectively made everything 100x more mind numbing for all parties involved, the new people, the vets, it doesn't really matter.

However, to say that people are going to solo now, I think is an incorrect assestment of the situation. What's really going to happen is people are going to start only playing with equal level *COMBAT* Players, because it's more efficient to have them in the group, vice a low level guy or a support guy such as Doctor or whatever.

I don't know how many people played prior to the CU, but the XP worked similar, not exact, but close enough to what it is now on live. The only difference between then and now, is you could solo everything in the game...unlike today. The possibility of playing solo right now is there, but not nearly as easy as it was before the CU.And that is what frustrates me the most.

In the end though, I will continue to play, because this game is still the best MMO I've played, I'm not a happy person right now, but in the end, grouping has always been the most efficient way to get XP.
