Avoiding the debate over whether it was a good fix or not, why was there no official warning or even disclosure of the change in the patch notes?


a) you forgot about it?


b) you did not want to explain how you could not solve grenade grinding by changing the xp to heavy weapon or some other posted fix?


c) you did not want to admit to those of who are not yet jedi, and may have devoted alot of time to the grind, that you don't want us to be jedi as much as in the past?


d) you thought no one would mind?


This is a pretty major change to many players and doing so without a warning or even an explanation lacks consideration for the players it effects as well as appearing underhanded and cowardly. leaving it to TC players to "leak" it out to the rest of us is a cop out.


At the very least we should have recieved some initial notification it was going to occur and TC and Live patch notes stating "Combat xp conversion has been changed 30:1 to reduce an unintended situation where players were recieving excessive amounts of FS xp through the use of grenades" or if it is a jedi population control a patch note stating "Combat xp conversion has been changed 30:1 to adjust the lenggth of time necessary to become Jedi" and own up to the deed.


I pushed to get alot done over the last few days and only have 5 blocks left.I will probably finish the grind anyway but, I don't blame anyone for cancelling over this as, I find their handling of this change's introduction either underhanded or incompetent.

ok, I won't say I don't like this... but I will say that, yes, the notification was bad and they should've told us all. I have 19 boxes remaining, so I will post what I posted a little while ago... SOE, have a nice day.
