This probably post 10million on this but what in the name of all that is holy is going on here?
I just went to OP, got a mixed group - 3 level 80s and the rest 30s and below, and headed out after the insp buff.
We watched the purple numbers in disbelief but then yesterday was the same issue so thought nothing of it. But after a normal grouped lair I had 40k pistols xp sitting in my experience bar!
I tried a few variations - With another level 80 our xp was half of what we would normally get and solo was 5500.
No i know this is retarted but wasn't the CU supposed to encourage grouping? Problems are as follows
(1) Easiest way to get xp is Elite combat/Doc template (tank template) solo
(2) Would take months to level from CL1 because
(a) No-one will group with low level now. No experienced help basically. Where as before you could top up a group with 2-3 noobs so they could get xp and not affect things too much - all they do now is slash you xp while contributing very little to the kill.
(b) and the quickest way will always be solo...which after CU is not frigging quick
(3) FS Grind is borked to all hell. By this i mean Combat Prowess nd Enhanced Reflexes are damn near impossible - 1 lair grouped = 40k Pistols xp = 1333 FS xp (!!!). Soloing lairs isn't much quicker anyway.
Now I know the Jedi haters out there will be pleased with number 3 but nothing else FS has changed - I still get 1.2mill scout as a ranger in 2-3 lairs (150k FS). You can dance/ID/Craft all at the same pace. Everyone who wants to do the village will HAVE to do senses or crafting lines. Plus paying customers who started this have gone from 300k FS in 2 hours to 15k FS in 2 hours in the space of a week.
I could go on but its starting to get hard to care. If this is intended then SOE is biting, chewing and spitting out the hands that feeds it.
/fingers crossed that this is being fixed

What Drugs are you on ? I had my jedi over halfway done pre cu and finished template now so this doesnt really affect me but umm lets see figure some numbers.. roughly 3-4 lairs would cap your combat xp which then converted at 3-1 so I got 30k FS every 3-4 lairs. Now you get 40k pistols according to above post and say 4k combat to go with it.. so thats roughly 44 x 4(go high) 176k xp now covert that at 30-1 5800 or so fs xp... so would take about 5x as long as pre cu.. I am just sick of people who are done wanting it to be impossible for the newer generation...

i was talking about the CU with working xp
grinding does not automatically mean the FS grind, there is something else to this game you know
where did i say anything about wanting it to be impossible for newer people? even though i did not say it, i think it should be hard, since the time of the CU with 3:1 was too easy. i wish it was changed to 10:1, but o well. i would want the jedi grind to be as hard as the hologrind was in most cases.
