Oh, and also, you seem to be overlooking the simple reason: It's a free second character. Without using the skill points, you could unlock the second character without any consequences to the first. With the FS branches having SP, it drives away the people that have no interest in Jedi and just want two characters, because with 24 SP used up on your main, it's gonna end up being a gimped version of what it was, thus compelling you to become a Jedi, and use alt for the normal profs.
Basically FS-SP=BAD
First of all the 48 weeks number came from an average of 3 weeks per phase of the village times by 4 for each branch and times by 4 again for each discipline. 3*4*4=48. Secondly why do we wnt to drive away a person who wants to play two characters without using a jedi. I think anyone who takes the time to do the village, the exit quest and the padawan trials deserves the second toon. You have actually further proved my point as you said that your character ends up gimped. He shouldn't, the force sensitive skills are designed to enhance a character you have, which they currently do not.my question to you is why should everyone have to play a jedi? and why can a normal player not have two toons?
)would be at the village

Hello all,
This is something I have been mulling over posting for a long time. Force sensitive skills are something that were added to the game to enhance our characters template, give it that little something extra. But the currently act more like a crutch making us dropthe line of scout that gives us terro nag or novice medic to heal.As I see it there is absolutely no reason for them to have a skill point requirement. The arguement could be made that if the boxes had no cost then someone could master all the skills. So what, the skill boxes in no way make you uber. If someone wants to wait the 48 weeks to unlock all of the branches and the countless hours of playing to get the xp to fill them, I say let them. Truth be told only a certain number of skills are usefull to each character so people will only fill the boxes they want. This would go along way towards free the swordsman/doctors who want to dabble in scout or the jedi who wants on morebranch in his dream template. Not to mention that it would make the force sensitive skills seem like the bonus they are designed to be.
I know these petitions seem useless but they serve in getting our ideas to our reps, and thru them the devs.
An on that note

each skill only costs like 1 right? And each novice is 0 how much lower do you want it to go, after the grindings done you only lose 24 sp.
yes its 24 skill points in all, but every skill point counts to me and i really dont like using mine on these at all
/sign
Otherwise people would be getting 12+ melee speeds etc. with no costs... which i dont personaly see fair

Sixteen branches, three weeks per branch. Sixteen times three is forty-eight. Technically, it would only be forty-five since you don't have to wait that last period before unlocking the branch, but that's an honest mistake.
I also disagree with this petition. Why should you get bonuses for free? The skill points cap is in place for a reason: it forces you to choose how you want to play. If you want that novice scout box, then you have to be willing to sacrifice fifteen skill points from other places to get it. Maybe they come from Doctor, or maybe they come from FS skills. It all depends on how you choose to play.
