I'm 2 and half trees away, have 2 more quests to do for my last unlock, and am now wondering how in the world I'll be able to afford LS componets.....
Nobody stopped you from keeping that template. Nades are faster than anything else, but where did it say you had to get there by the fastest way necessary if that meant gutting your character?
You CHOSE to drop it to go the quickie route, now you get to enjoy the consequences of that action, namely mind-numbing grinding in a template you didn't want.
One of the advantages of the Jedi Revamp is that it allows you to work towards Jedi using your chosen template instead of gutting it over and over to do professions you never would have any intention of playing. By going the quick and easy path, you just threw out that advantage.
The best way to go towards Jedi, or grind Jedi itself, is to just play the game. Not grind, just play. It may take you a bit longer to get there, but you'll enjoy the process a lot more.

Never stopped them from dropping a crappy product on us before. They will most likely hit their May 5th deadline, throw the system on live, then when half the population cancels their accounts, they will do an emergency patch that brings us back to the old combat system. Why do I say this? They did it with the crafting update a while ago and people weren't even quitting over it. This is a pervasive system, and if they make it so that elite professions can't even 1v1 kill stuff they're used to fighting 5 at a time... expect cancellations. The CU is more of a broad spectrum combat nerf than an upgrade, and the sooner they realize that the playerbase feels that way, the faster they'll throw the idea back into the trash.
I have heard that the expansion ROTW is coded for the CU and thats why they are not dumping it after many complaints. They will push it live and SWG and the players will never be the same.

Have a nice future, have nice updates.

To add to his post, also read this article, http://www.the-combine.net/ArticleViewer.aspx?ArticleNo=249, make them really feel the loss of your account, get your money back for all the months you had a subscription. Once the CU goes live, it is no longer the game you purchased, the whole system changed. The box says Game Play may Vary, but it didnt say every aspect of the game would become a clone of other SOE products2 years down the line.
