not gonna happen, and anyway if you werent grinding holos you probably didnt really want to work for jedi.







There's a little thing, though, where a lot of us did not want to ruin our characters just to sit and do mind-numbing grinding for hours on end.


I did start on the grind once, and they then announced that there would be a revamp to the system.


Since I didn't enjoy the little grind I did, I stopped and waited for the revamp.



I still believe that the "holo-grinders" should only get credit for what professions they were required to do to unlock, not for the 20+ extra professions they mastered as well.
You knew the risks when you started your little grind. You should be happy if they gave you just 1 skill box of credit IMO.


The Devs are just going to once again award the people who rush through everything and play the game as if it's one big race to become Jedi.


If ANY of you holo-grinders complain about the abundance of Jedi, you're a hypocritical fool and should find some other game to troll.
You were the ones who created the situation in the first place, and by getting your way with the "holo-credit," you're just going to make the problem worse.

oh yea. and don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that people who didn't grind should get a thing. Just that grinders shouldn't get credit for every single profession they ground their way through. If you're gonna do that, then EVERYONE who mastered at least 1 profession should get some form of credit.

No offence KaptainKrude but quoting out of context is not the way to make a point.


As I stated, myself and many, many others did a hell of a lot more than "zero in the old system". Heck if it wasn't for those of us who didn't grind away like mindless drones, those whopersisted with itwould never of been able to get as far asthey did!! Couldthey of done it by themselves, with no assistance fromtheir guildies who stayed "with the game" and didn't run off on the grind? I severely doubt it.


If it wasnt for the harvestors that Architects made that allowedthem dig stuff up for the crafting grinds, or those dedicated crafters who produced the weapons and the armour fortheir combat grinds, they'd still be a bunch of mug Novice Marksman and Scouts killing paralopes.


So yeah, no offence or flame intended, but they shouldn'tflatter themselves by thinking that just becausethey ran a bunch of AFK combat macros or clicked on the resource units whilst runningtheir crafting macros thatthey have somehow done something worthy.


If it wasn't for those of us who "didn't bother", the Jedi profession would be just a dream tothem instead of a reality.


So again I ask, why should those of us who helped them along, and railed against a system that even the Devs said was a mistake, not get at least some recognition from all of this?

(edited to put the reply back into context and to correct a mistaken assumption on my part).

So I'm sorry, but your point was?

Oh, I get it... your one of those holo-hater types, heh.


I'm not gonna argue with you about it, because I'd have no chance of winning against your obvious powers to psychically deduce who I am and what I've done in the game since launch.


Do the world a favor and please apply your psychic abilities to finding Bin Laden, then worry about that Jedi I don't have and all of that grinding I didn't do... hehe.

My abject apologies for making the incorrect assumption that you partook in that particular activity. You could of just said as much though instead of the rubbish which you came up with in response.


And yep - I'm a Holo-hater and damn proud of it .


It's brought the game nothing but trouble and strife is recognised by nearly everyone as being more trouble than its worth.
