I'm pulling this theory out of left field here, but...what if this change is temporary justto slow down the flow of new Jedi?
Maybethedevelopersjust putacork in the dam,instead ofusingconcrete,for the time being while theychange the type of xpyou receive when you use grenades? If this is the real cause for the fsxp conversion change. The cork slows people down, butJedi still seep out from time-to-time.
I would just like to finally hear from a developer on this issue because it affects those just beginning and in the middle of their FSXP grind. I just don't want SWG to become 'Some Worthless Grind' (as someone else put it). We pay $15/mo just like everyone else and this new rate change really discourages me from playing sometimes.
Plus, this doesn't stop Jedi from existing - it just slows the rate down of the new ones. Where's the risk of being a jedi? Perhaps we'll see some new stuff come out for jedi like 'blue glowie' for a type of punishment? Seems like the game lost focus here, IMO.

Yeah...it is discouraging, but I gotta say it's still not as discouraging as when, pre-cu, as a melee stacker with no interest in crafting one of my holos said "Armor Smith".

No. I do not think it is temporary and I do not think it is the last change they will make either. For example, they are still toying with how to change group xp so you get less xp per kill in a group than you do now. The only reason it hasn't alreadyhit is because they had unspecified "technical issues" on testcenter with it. Uncertain the future is, but I sense anger, fear and frustration for future Jedi.

If they nerf group XP, then not only will the FS grinders be %$#^#$^, but also the average joe trying to complete his template. I seriously doubt they are going to nerf it that much. Right now that have already choked off any casual player that wants to have a second slot. If they choke off any casual player that wants to master a combat profession, SOE will be in a world of hurt.

Well its certainly f***ing discouraged me from trying to grind. ironically, this doesnt help their position, as more people leave the game SOE lose more and more money...
Guild wars looks fun people 
well, better than this if you eant to follow your dream, then its SOE's job to p*** you off doing it.

Yep, it has put me off the grind too, I'm not grinding anymore, its not worth it, especially as already got one Jedi, but not going to quit,I'm just goint to play the game, then when my XP maxes, on my other 2 chars, then trade it in.
Jedi doesn't seem worth the hassle any more, it would have been during the hologrind days and the Jedi update in publish 9 (I think?), but since the CU, Jedi has been nerfed to hell and back!
