Can I assume you'll be going Dark Jedi?
You're trying to be part of the problem. Try organizing the groups that are camping it and get everyone through it instead.

my god people quit whining and just tell him. all you've got to do is wait inside the base, bring the radial for the remote up, and as soon as you get kicked out of the base hit the button. if your fast enough youll get to the front of the line.

Is there no end people will not go to in order to screw over their fellow players?

Exactly, just tell the guy. If you two want to act like there is some kind of honor in a video game then go ahead. Telling someone to make an e-line ingame is just crazy. So you want this guy to stand there while everyone is jumping lines and try to tell them to get in a single file line?? That is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Yea, I am sure that would work real well. Be realistic and you would see what is happening at the couple bases out there. People are going to jump in front of others and do what they have to do in order to complete the mission. Sad but true. You fight fire with fire. If that makes me a Dark Jedi then so be it. I'd rather be that than sit in the back of an imaginary line telling 'Ubernoob' and 'sgtkickazz' that they should be in a line so its fair for everyone.

Let me put it this way: If the Commander wasn't so screwed up (no running, terrain challenged etc.) then 20 bases would work and not just the 3 closest. Now there are a minimum of 2 groups camping each fort and I have seen as many as 8 groups. Why don't they group together? Because only 2 people get credit for the mission. So with only a few days left, yeah screw my fellow players, I will get this quest done no matter what....

No there is no end in fact, and this only goes to show that if there were any justice - and the game was designed properly - the OP would never get Jedi because their morals are too weak.
Please, no one tell someone else how to f*** over another player here, the game already has enough spite, epeen waving and general BS in it.
As to the OP, be better than them, organize the thing as someone suggested and try to ensure everyone gets their shot - and scream at the devs for putting in a quest that is limited in this manner. They probably never thought it would be a problem because so few people do Jedi that a backlog would never occur right?

This quest is already way too cruel for this kind of behavior not to take place. With all the bugs, some groups are having to try this quest 15 times in order to get a success on it - and if a base can only be played a total of 12 times per day and only about 3 of the 15 are close enough to the village in order to have a chance at completing... well you see the problem.
Imagine being a member of a starving community standing in line waiting for food. After standing around for God knows how long, word gets out that there might not be enough food for everyone. It gets better. More than half the food is spoiled and unedible. If you recieve the rotten food and aren't happy with it, guess what, you have to go to the start of the line and wait again. Now how long do you think it would take before this orderly line full of nice people turned into a riot? /sigh

You people that are willing to screw your fellow players who have been waiting on the base sicken me. If there are only 2 groups at each base then it's a 2 hour wait if that first group started immediately, but since both groups were already there you can assume it's been close to 2 hours already so that's 4 hours,since both groupswere there before you. But since you are willing to jump in front of all of them, increase that time to 6 hours because you don't want to wait in line.
Yes I'm done with this quest, yes it was bugged, yes I was killed by instant turrets 5 times before I could finish this quest, yes someone stole my group's mission and I had to wait again.I decided one day toget up at 6:30AM and went to the village, since it was off-hours I was able to find someone and we completed the quest at the closest camp without any problems. You say it's just a video game who cares about honor, I say it's just a video game why are you willing to sacrifice any integrity you might have?
If you do mess up your fellow players then each time you ignite that saber you will remember how you jumped ahead of everyone else to get that and possibly cost one or more of them the honor of owning and using a saber for your own personal gratification. I'm sure you can deal with that though since you don't seem to care about them now, but know that your Jedi will be taintedas people will know who you are and remember what you did to them, their friends, the people they meet. I don't care if you Mastered all the FS trees and did all the village quests, if you screw fellow people and human beings you don't deserve and have not trulyyour robes and saber.
Instead of cheating your fellow plays why not try to get the mission while the population is lower. The mission is doable from the first 3 bases and not all of them are camped 24 hours a day...get creative. If you were on my server and asked this question I would inform my guild first about you and to ban you from the city and shops, then I would post this topic on my server page. Sure it wouldn't stop you from getting your Jedi or playing this game but your reputation might keep some peoplefrom helping you. It's amazing that some people are willing to screw up something that other people (not just electronic pictures on your monitor, they are real people with real lives who have been scheduling there time and trying to finish this mission), have been calmly waiting for for hours, days, weeks to complete.
Good luck to you folks who want to screw your fellow players, I hope sometime down the line an exploit comes out that you will undoubtedly use to get jedi XP, and then get permanently banned for it, or better yet get hunted by a BH a day after getting paddy and start getting sent into a hole of negative XP, that you can get back at1/8 the speed that you can get XP at now. I can see you are a newly registered player and seem to have that "give me what's mine now, I don't care about anything else as long as I get what I want" attitude. I hope you get more than what you want, I hope you get what you truly deserve.
