I think it's a great idea. It would remove the immaturity being displayed by many new Jedi as have been complained about in these forums. It would also give you the sense that you accomplished something; not just killing creatures and mind-numbing xp conversions. I'd prefer your system as opposed to have to make approximately 70 trips to the village to bank enough fs xp to get to Padawan (See my temp. in my sig). Don't mistake my approval of your system as a knock against the current or past systems. I just think your idea seems more player oriented; as in keeping players interested in doing things. I still have a lot to do before I bank enough fs xp. I plan on finishing a lot more quests in between grinding on Dant. or wherever I can find a good group.

thats a good grinding temp... i find ranged easier right now though... easier to hit everything when youdon't have to be standing next to it

Your post has a lot of merit, and I completely love the idea. The random badges would have to have some kind of order though, such as there can be no badges on the list like "...has been beared with the distinction of a good biography." Otherwise, I love the thoughts, and I think that this would be a great way towards Jedi. Mystery, Questing, and shortening time to Glowy. Just clean up your original post a wee, it's a bit choppy, some grammatical errors, and a few typos. Otherwise let's make some things for people's signatures and start advertising this.

Bacaccia, I vote we make this a sticky when it gets in its final form.

Currently i feel thefs/jedi system is a mess. People who are grinding jedi have you slowly grind out exp. Making boring trip from the village and back just seems pointless. Recently SOE has tried to reduce the exp for every combat profession in the game... its not the exp that needs to be changed to slow jedi its the way to become one. Jedi should not be a long hard grind... especially through paddy where you can not do much of the games content without getting vis, dieing and having to grind longer. In fact once your a jedi paddy, exp should be as easy to get as any another prof. If you want to slow down jedi stop it at the source... the way to become force sensitive.
My idea is that instead of having to grind to become jedi, it should be quest/badge/game content based. Maybe 75 random badges... with restrictions like 5 poi, 3 professions ect. These badges have to relatively easy in a way where you just have to do a quest or master a prof... nothing like having a good bio.These will be different for every account on every server (so if you think you have a hard list you can't start a new char) Thisidea is similarholocron system in a way only tougher because there are no hints to help you...in order to become jedi you have to start randomly doing quests, doing content, mastering prof ect.
This would make becoming jedi a gradual thing... most ppl will not focus hard and do everything... just keep a non jedi char and work as they go. One day they might have an old man visit them and be surprised... it should be totally unexpected. People should be able to go to force shrines and see how many of your tasks you have completed but not telling what they were or what you have left.
If you want to slow it down even more.... after you finish these 75, you go to the village... which is completely quest driven... little to no grinding.The quests that require a selection of crafters combat, all kinds of different professions to complete. These quests should be lengthy, hard and require a lot of team work. These quests should support all characters and their temps, as well as increase the amount of group work required in the game.
This is what i think becomeing jedi should take... its not boreing... it doesn't keep you grinding forever... and it takes longer but if more fun then what we have now. Jedi will come as a complete surprise, and as older characters cancel their accounts as they always will, the jedi population will be reduced. Eventually when the jedi population has been cut down, the jedi proffesioncan be boosted to what it previously was.
