Just discovered Medical XP has been changed to 30-1 from 10-1
Where did this come from, I heard about combat xp and BH xp on TC but the reasoning behind this........
If i was paranoid i would suspect SOE are plotting to prevent me becoing jedi
It seems that alot of changes to FS at the village were "forgotten" to be added to patch notes
argh !

This change worries me the most, grinding med xp is difficult as it it because usually another grinder can heal the only person in the group to take damage off a mob before i can as i dont have ranged heals, therfore sometimes i miss xp for mobs entirely, it takes a long time to cap med xp, and before this nerf it would be 10 trips per line, that has just soared to about 36 trips per line, and that is what I would call a complete joke.
At least to grind reflexes and combat prowess you get your weapons caps (usually 2 types of weapon) plus combat xp. for senses you only get the one (unless youre a ranger but im not re-templating to something else thats broken)
Making the grind longer does nothing but frustrate people and take them away from other aspects of the game. MAking the village phases twice as long would have been a much better option.

Medical xp is not hard!
#1 Grind whit jedi tanks! them hit the lair and you cep the jedi alive = cap very fast!
#2 Grind all your senses xp during ph4, alot of siths and groups killing siths, heal group members, run 100m and cash in FS XP!

Just stop and think about it for a second from the perspective of a sleazy Harvard MBA with no real world experience. If all xp converts at 30:1, it takes longer to become a jedi (more $15/mo dings, thank you very much). If it takes longer to become a jedi, you're likely to appreciate it more, and maybe stick around longer (more $15/mo dings, thank you very much).

and guess what.. even if it was a mistake... the points you put in tonight.. will not be reimbursed... why... cuz SOE is developed by a bunch of idiots who dont know their own @ss$s from a hole in the ground.. if they did.. a game this old would not have the issues and the pissed off unhappy customers it has

I8theworm dont you see that if the village phases were 6weeks as oppsed to 3 and they had left the conversion rates alone then they would still get that increase in proft because people would need to wait longer and therefore subscribe for longer. This would achieve the same thing but would not frustrate people as much, yes the time to unlock your jedi is still doubled, but the amount of mind-numbing grinding (which drives people to resent the game seeing as they can't do other things ) would still be the same.

Well, I don't see a difference as I've never naded for the grind. As a matter of fact, I just go around enjoying the game, and when I happen to have maxed out on xp, or come close to it, I make the long drive. Sometimes it comes in fast when I help new guildmates hunt, sometimes it comes in really slowly because I really enjoy PvP.
I'm certainly not accusing you of anything, but I really see the combat xp conversion as a plug to a loophole that players found to template up faster.

I've never thrown a grenade in my life just to clear things up, I didn't like the idea of just sitting there doing nothing. I too had been one of those people that did not go out of their way to powergrind, i just went to see paemos whenever i did cap. Its only been in the last week that I really had started grinding and immediatly I've been shot down. 4xx4 senses alone will take about 70 village trips for me, I just hope i can get as much done in phase 4 as possible. I don't mind the grind to be honest, its just having to do a 15minute roundtrip each time i cap that I take issue with, and now ill have to make about 3 times as many.
Would it really kill the devs to make a shuttleport nearer the village?
