The fact remains that when you get Master Jedi, the content will be gone again. They just made it take longer for you to have nothing to do.

While I agree, i'm going to also disagree.
The village cycles were set at that time to allow "casual" players to achieve jedi as well. Yes it does hurt the people who can play numerous hours a day. 3 weeks (21 days)= capping 900k and 90k combat XP every day delegates 60k FS xp per day. This means you can play 1 hour per day (providing you can cap that fast) and still have enough xp to to get thru 1 full line per 3 weeks.
If you ask me this is a fair system. People are only grinding it because they want to achieve it so fast andthe waiting time isholding them back. Sure it does generate more revenue due to the fact the village cycles are spread out so much, but it also accomodates the casual players. All in all I do not think SOE's sole intention was to get more money, well maybe it was, but they sure did a good job to make it look like they were being helpful to casual gamers.
Just my input, please try to understand where i'm coming from before you 1 star it. I am in no way disagreeing with you, i'm just basically telling you how I think this system is fair for the full time workers with familes who can't play as much as everyone else. Yes I do not like the long wait and I can also play 5 or more hours per day, but i'm trying to look at it from a person who can't play this game too many hours a day. This is for them.

I dunno what's worse, the fact your right, or the fact we still pay and play.
