I fully agree that the cap is way too low. But you have no basis for saying that it is a bug. Nowhere does it say that the cap for all professions has to be twice the amount of xp required for a tier 4 box. I don't have the numbers but I am pretty sure that most crafting professions do not follow that rule either. It is not a bug - it is a design decision. A bad design decision.
Anyway, even if they raised the cap to 120k, it wouldn't change much for doctors trying to get senses xp. You still can't play the game with that low a cap. So the only viable way to earn senses xp would still be to do ameaningless grind at the village next to Paemos.
The cap and conversion ratio ought to be designed so that all professions can get the same amount of FS xp for each cap.
With so many of each in the game, how can a layman like myself ever hope to tell the two appart? I personally think it was due to an oversight on the part of the devs. Very dificult to screw up, very easy to fix, and still the way it is.
Good idea on the equivalant conversion accross professions.

/agree
AND WHY DO WE NEED A CAP?
lets call it the (FS XP) CAP-REVAMP and combine it with the total SWG-REVAMP

Combat prof gets 60k for a cap. 30k from the 900k weapons XP at 30:1 and 30k more for the 90k combat XP at 3:1.
You are correct, thanks for correcting my math. I missed a decimal point there.

If I were to guess, I'd say it's because of profitability. 7 or 8 decent sets of buffs will get you 80k of med xp, and you'll gross about 90k credits (basing on charging 12 or 13k for buffs). It's probably viewed as a "game imbalance." 
Anyway, when I was a Doc, I was aggravated that I'd cap my xp so quickly when buffing customers, because of the "wasted" xp, and I agree that the med xp cap should be increased to 120k, to at least be in line with the combat professions. I know the numbers still don't match up, but keep in mind that a doc can hit 120k of med xp much faster than most combat profs can hit 900k.

Creature Handeler is the same way.A tier 4 box will cost you 120K of exp but the cap is 140K and to top it all off you gain CH exp about the same as combat exp (without exploiting places like endor). Yea it sucks but if I see docs get this fixed before CHwhile its stillso easy for them to get exp Im going to be very very pissed.
