The biggest mistake SOE has ever made was compensating downtime with XP. I'd like to see them divide the $14.99 per the number of days in the month. Then compensate you with the exact dollar amount that the servers were down. Last thing we need is a bunch of kids grinding all their force xp in a week. That happened before and the Jedi profession has never looked so bad.
EXACTLY.
Quad XP and Double XP is a joke. I was here for the Comic Update and the subsequent Quad/Double XP and all that came out of it was a huge jedi population of people that dont really deserve to be. It (the 4x/2x grind) ended up cheapening the meaning of being a Jedi and caused a huge portion of the game to dislike Jedi and wish for a non-jedi server. Even players with Jedi no longer like being a Jedi because SOE has made adjustments based on too much input from too many people that became Jedi and whined like school children.

I don't think it was the double/quadruple XP that ruined Jedi, it was the CU, and the need to group. The Jedi profession is a solo affair, and the CU made it virtually impossible to progress the Jedi profession. Before the CU, my Jedi was getting about 300 Jedi XP, when CU hit, I was getting zero!! Double (or even Quadruple) XP of zero, is still 0!
When I play my Jedi now in group, its just a matter of pressing a few buttons, and the rest of the non-jedi group defeats the lair, as I do 10s-100s of damage whereas the non-jedi do 1000s of damage! So not really getting used to the profession.
Even with double/quadruple xp, grinding Jedi is still slower than a normal profession, so if you don't spend that time learning it then you're still a Novice, when you're a Master, that goes for any profession, not just Jedi.
I started Jedi off, and I want to finish it, pre CU I would have been glad to take time over it, but now with CU, its not worth the time it takes to do it anymore, so any speed boosts to finish it off, then all the better.
