The path to jedi maybe is a bit long but it's easy. I think it makes things balanced. Jedi are supposed to be rare, actually the path is shorter than it should be.

Ummm helloooo... If you prof grinded to unlock, you don't have to do the village phases. You SHOULD receive all 6 free unlocks. If you didn't know this then man I'm sorry to say, you wasted a bunch of time waiting for the village to change. From what I understand if you prof grinded all of your profs (pre pub 9) and would've unlocked in the old system, then technically according to what SOE has promised, you should automatically get all 6 trees unlocked for free. Unless I missed where SOE changed this.

Like others have said, games so broke only giving everyone a shot at Jedi keeps them making $$
I agree, when SOE put in the CU they should have increased the amount of FS exp you needed at each tier of the box. Because now when you fight anything as long as you land one hit, when you're in a group, you get maximum payout of exp when that mob dies. Pre-CU I had gotten 5 trees unlocked and 1 box filled in just one of those trees. Post CU I have all 5 trees filled and enough FS exp to fill branch six, but i still need to unlock my last branch. So it's just a waiting game for me but I'm almost done, and it's been fun.
Oh I'll tell you all about the dbl exp week bug for the village too. When you convert your normal exp into FS, you get double there even though it only tells you the normal amount. We've have 3 or 4 dbl exp times since CU when in and I"ve just burned through the boxes.

OK, let me clarify. I had to quit the game, meaning I dont have my original toon. I started over from scratch with a new character. Several points I am trying to make are:
1) It is not necessarially easier to unlock jedi post publish 9.
2) Why make it possible to get all the xp u need, but risk having players quit due to boredom?
3) Many players want to be Jedi, so why place a time barrier, that serve no real purpose other then to limit the number of Jedi? Let's be realistic, how many jedi do you see on any given day, so it doesn't limit the number of Jedi?
4) Jedi are NOT as powerful as many like to claim (1.5of a normal combat prof, according to SOE). Think about how many times the Jedi in your hunting band beat the Bounty Hunter...
5) Jedi are NOT meant to be rare as some like to claim. Why do you think everyone got a Holocron for X-mas back in 2003? Jedi were not unlocking as fast as SOE wanted. Not my words, this came direct from SOE. Content badges have been added as well, due to the difficulty some had with the Warrens being bugged. And lets face it, the Rebel theme park is the most boring thing I can remember doing in this game, short of riding my bike to the village over, and over, and over...
And, on a side note, BH and Jedi get most of the attention because that is what most players are, or are trying to be. I'm sorry if you are a Smuggler, Droid Engineer, or Image Designer, butsimple demographics indicate that these profs are not a high priority, due to the limited number of players with these profs.
My point is this: I want to work on my template, but cannot. What should I do until then? Collect 45 POI badges? Whoopie.Kill a Krayt or 20, and not get any pearls? I'll probably master most of the combat profs, just out of boredom for something to do. Either that, or hunt Jedi and make lots of friends doing so...
Well, I think the Fantastic Four is out now. Flame on...

you lack a serious understanding of how MMORPG works. Might wanna do some studies on it. As i said above, KOTOR is there whenever you need it.

How about cutting the time down to be a dark jedi? Supposed to be quicker and easier anyhow. Let all the players who want to play a jedi but dont want to put in the time/effort take that route and be done with it. Make them 1.5 x greater than the normal profs. Then leave the system in place for light jedi and make them 2 x greater than normal profs.

and i quote myself again:
this isnt the MMORPG way. MMORPG is all about leveling. Not getting anything for free.
