I wasn't around for the Jedi revamp, or whatever it was called. However, I must say that I do like the idea of having to grind professions that you would otherwise do. It created experience and knowledge of the different profs, and made the universe more full. Also, I have to say that the Village is a great idea. Instead of one or the other, I'd like to see both. For instance, a couple holo-grinds first, then a couple FS branches you have to do to finish.

yea if you call crafting thousand times the same item using a semi-afk macro while watching TV "experience in a profession"

as you said, you wasn't around for the jedi revamp, if the game is as it is now, solo groups, uber buffs, afk'ers all around it's BECAUSE of hologrind.

cause those who had to do DE for holos and didn't want to do DE for their character had to find the fastest way/easiest way to do DE
same goes for entertainers, who figured out AFK grinding and ruined the professions
fighters all figured out a way to AFK fight, now you got afk loot campers in all good places


and if you wanted to keep one profession and still get jedi, you were screwed, holos broke the game I was here before (before they gave holos away for christmas) and I'm still here after, my first months playing the game, before buffs, before holos before vehicles or mounts, were the VERY best time I had in SWG. now I'm still enjoying the game, but I'm hoping everyday that the CU will bring back the game to how it was when I started, when Voritor hunters were feared and needed a group of 10 fighters to be taken out, when having 50k meant you were rich, when any fighting profession at ANY level from novice to master, were welcome in a hunting group, when we had to setup camps after each lair, to heal wounds and watch entertainers dancing for mind wounds, while chatting about anything and sharing our experiences sitting in a camp.

etc....

I sincerely hope the CU will wipe out ALOT of players, all those who were raised with sologrouping and uber buffs etc... and bring back the old school ones, those who used to spam the group chat with things like "STOP HITTING THE LAIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" just before seeing a whole group wiped out by baz nitches, those who feared rancors (omg I remember the first time we went by a rancor, we did ok, but then gaping spiders came after us)... seriously all those who say "CU will su(k I won't be able to be uber anymore" can leave the game, it'll only be better.
