the reason i heard they changed the old system was because i heard it "ruined the economy". that doesnt really make sense. and also they said the post pub-9 grind would have less grinding and more quest bases, but now its like a themepark, go to WP, kill, get supplies, come back for a lot of the time.

i didnt mean pre 9 stuff. I think the village is ok, but with double XP, combat xp cap at 900k and double conversion it takes people a fraction of the time it used to. Grinding was never hard but grinding is time consuming and gets boring and needs dedication aswell as good nerves, not anymore.... People can fill an entire tree of FS xp in a few hours, thats what saddens me, the overall picture this is gonna do to the Jedi profession. Im not flaming anyone who uses it, hell you've been given it by the devs but it saddens me to see where all this "easy way to get Jedi" gets to in the end and thats more nerfs for Jedi.

i find the boredom factor gets me, though with my temp capping combat at 300k and 2 weapons at 1.2mill after 4 caps i have a whole tree, but i can only force myself to do 2 a day, max, but as its going till 5th july i will prob get most of my xp banked, which i like, besides i used all my respecs so atleast ill be doing jedi the harder way

i hate the village. i think it is stupid. i would have much rather grinded out 32 professions and got a jedi instead of mindlessly grinding xp. jedi for me is the endgame. i had 3 goals in star wars galaxies:

1. Pure Melee Template (done)

2. Pure Crafting Template (partially done)

3. Jedi (On My Way)

Grinding out 32 profession WAS mindless as well. The path is completely a joke now. Almost no one cares of anything but grinding. I liked the village, but expected it to be built on rather than to sit stale. I can understand those who have work/wife/jobs/etc needing a way to even out with the powergrinder, but what we have now is rediculous. The combination of an easy/stickied/same for everyonesensitivity path, respec exploitation (by poor design), several double xp sessions, several respecs, Ebay Jedi (Jedi population that only grows),very safe jedi grinding spawns, and now this even further boost to combat xp trade in is just a joke. It has really belittled theefforts of those before now.

I shouldn't stress over it and just mind my own experience....but it's really sad to see so many things which seem to obviously be done to milk subscriptions at the expense of the game and the image of what a Jedi is.

I have really liked SWG, that is why I am here....but thishas becomebad.
