Thread: This 30:1 conversion for combat is COMPLETELY insane....

I know there are threads about this already, but I figure the more threads the more the devs realize how pissed everybody is....
The ONLY reason this is going in effect is the grenade grinders. I did 3 FS boxes with just grinding out weapons like you're supposed to (and got 2 free from the hologrind). Then when I heard about the XP nerf, I dug up a few crates of C12's I made myself when I was a WS, and I found a good AOE group and tried it out. I capped combat XP in an hour, 900k. It's silly, it'd take me a day of solid grinding to unlock my Jedi, which isn't cool. So, yes, that needs to be fixed.
HOWEVER, if I was to go back to the "Regular" weapon grind, I was figuring I'd finish it in about4 weeks of capping a weapon XP every night (and I already have 3 trees done). That's a lot of freakin' grinding, but it's acceptable. With the new conversion rate, it'll take about8 weeks of capping a different weapon EVERY NIGHT (900k XP) to finish up my FS. That's insane. I've been trying to unlock my Jedi for 2 years, refusing to outright grind for hours on end (well, mostly.... I've done a lot of grinding)and hoping they'd come out with some system that was actually fun, but I decided last week to just do it and get it over with after 2 years of it hanging over my head. And what do I get? The shaft. A 1:30 conversion rate for combat XP a week after I renew my grind.
Uggghhh... I'm starting to think I'm not supposed to open my jedi. I did the hologrind, mastered 15 professions, and I got 2 free FS trees. I gave up for awhile and became a WS and actually played the game, then went back to trying for Jedi after I had acheived my goals as a WS..... and now I have an even LONGER grind than before ahead of me than I ever did before.
I'm sick of it, but Ihave to finish it cause I've already poured in countless hours for this stupid grind. Why can't the devs just let us have fun and open the damn slot without having to kill a million Pikets and rejecting any sort of life outside the game???

If you want an ALL jedi game, then dont play star wars. I think there were 2 jedi in ANH, Luke and Yoda, so suck it up, and stop cyring that jedi is harder to get. We already have too many as it is.

You've been playing what? 7 months? I was here on day 1, bud. I've been through this. I cried and pleaded that the devs not allow PC Jedi for those exact reasons.
Then the floodgates opened and the majority of players, it seems, are Jedi. So I gave up on that one and just figured that this is just the way the game is. Now, I want to open my 2nd character slot like everybody else. I don't really care about Jedi - sure, it might be kinda cool - but I really just want that 2nd slot. I wouldn't have the time nor patience to grind out a full Jedi, but lord knows I've tried to open that slot.
Don't sit and tell me to "suck it up." I've put more time into this damn Jedi grind than half the people that ARE Jedi. Every time I get close - like with the hologrind - the devs have given me the shaft. I'm a bit sick of it, ya know?

It's pretty sad that I haven't plugged even more hours intothis stupidvideo game?
Or is it sad that instead of going afterJedi for the first 6 months, I mastered BH when it was damn near impossible?
Or is it sad that I've done several other professions in the game - doctor, WS - and actually played them and became rather good at them instead of just killing crap for hours and hours and hours on end (which, too, I've done)?
I'd say the last 2 are sad mainly because in the long run, this game means nothing and just sucked up a bunch of time that I could have used to do something more constructive. You saying that it's sad that I'm not a Jedi after 2 years of playing, however, is not "sad". Unfortunate, yes, but not "sad". I've tried. I've tried rather hard. And I've given up several times because I figured I'd do other parts of the game.
However, the devs just reward those who can sit and grind and kill the same thing over and over and over. Those of us that have actually played their professions and contributed to their galaxy get nothing.
That, BUD, is sad.

If it's so stupid, why are you wasting our time crying about how you've failed at Jedi? Also, people could have been playing the game for longer than their forum account says. Stop acting like you're so high and mighty because you've been playing since day 1, you're no better than anyone else.
EDIT: God forbid you do anything else than nade grind, right?
