It seems TH spends alot of time here, so I am going to post this here. If this offends you, forgive me. If you cannot, please write a letter to your congressman and report this horrific act.
It is almost Thursday and the week of double XP is coming to an end. I think this is not fair to many players. This is why:
1. Ranger is broke as we are all capped below the amount of XP required for the Nov and Master Boxes. (i.e. 600k Scouting XP is cap, but 1 mil is required to attain it). The newest patch notes does not hint this will be fixed, so scouts and rangers technically will not be able to effectively take part in the double XP week. (I am sure alot of you will say to respec for those skills and then to reearn the boxes you dropped, but that technically is exploiting and I know how most people love to jump all over that!!!! Besides, I do not feel like grinding 1.45 mil rifles XP to make up for 400k scouting XP)
2. You gave 2 servers 4x XP cause you guys screwed up thier conversions into the CU. However, the west coast servers were not giving the double XP as intended for 2 days of our week and we also had to endure the entertainer buffs not working right (getting fixed on Thursday). How about us?
3. I am sure you have heard it many times already, but truly, the new leveling requirements is completely unfair for Jedi. Unless you are at a decent level, they cannot solo ANYTHING at thier level for full XP and this forces them to group up and run missions. So they group up, run missions and within an hour they gain 40k of XP. Then a BH comes by, targets padawan, uses /coverOneNostril and then uses /improvedSnotRocket for the incap/deathblow. The Padawan loses 200k XP. Does this even seem fair? (I am 400k from being template complete for the 4th time so this is not my problem, but I see many low padawans dealing with it.) I was hunting with some jedi today and within 2 hours, the same padawan was visited by 6 BHs individually. He had no chance, but kept on trying.
4. As a Jedi Knight, my force bar never depleted so fast as it does now. I feel like I am using a 30 FC saber. I see the force cost is going to be reduced 50% in the next patch. We will see how that works out. Yet, my jedi is limited on the force bar. A regular player does not have these limits. As long as he has action and mind points (which regen very fast), he can spam specials until the cows come home. Once a jedi depletes his force, he is dead. I suggest you remove ALL lightsaber force costs and only have the force bar for force powers/skills. If a pikeman can swing his lance without some connection to the force, why can't a jedi use his Lightsaber without force? I know what the movies say, I am a Star Wars nut. So if you want to argue that point, I will counter with "How is this game anything like Star Wars in the first place? Other than there are Wookiees and Twi'leks running around. And the planet and city names sound familiar!" So don't throw that arguement at me at all!! Bottom line, jedi are gimped to that purple bar and noone else is.
5. How can you make our light sabers energy damage and have armor resistant to them and yet our max damage is in the mid-700s with good pearls. Yet, rifleman are running around with 1200 T21s that do the same damage. Then you tell us that a full jedi is 1.5 stronger than all professions. How is this so? His rifle by far outdamages my lightsaber and/or is almost equal in DPS (yes, my rifleman is the same DPS as my jedi knight and I have (3) three-9 120/120 pearls). If this is all balanced and jedi are 1.5x stronger than any norm prof, then our sabers should be in the mid 1000 damage and DPS should be around 800. As it stands right now, the best template seems to be Master Defender, Master Powers and 4004 Enhancer or 4004 Healer. Notice, I did not say anything about having Lightsaber skills in there!!! Just call us Nightsisters and Nightboys or Singing Mountain Girls or the Hanson Boys. This isn't right either.
6. Grinding for most profs stinks for the most part. I cannot solo grind. I have to sit around and wait for my friends to log in for me to really get any XP at all. So now, I cannot play when it is convienent for me, but when all my friends are on. And then I have to hope they feel like grinding. Cause if not, then I am screwed. We try solo, and 18 out of 20 times the creatures incap me before I get them down to 40% health. Does this seem right for evenly leveled characters and mobs? While this is a MMORG, I should NOT have to depend on my friends to log in, in order for me to play the game as well. If I am playing a non-jedi, then I have to regen health after every mob, and if I am playing my jedi, then I got to regen my force AND health after every kill. At the current XP per hour rate, it will take months/years in order for anyone to level.
7. Squad Leader takes pistols XP now? Who came up with that idea? What if I wanted to be a carbineer or rifleman squad leader? How does me pulling a trigger on a 6-shooter have anything with me being a squad leader? Bring back Squad Leader XP please!!! Who cares if I can grind out SL in 5 hours! I can grind out WS or Artisan in the same time. But pistols XP? Can you guys rethink that one? At least it was not 4 trees of combat!!!
My main concern is you pushed this to LIVE with no warning and with so many bugs. And to say sorry for this, we will give you 1 week of double XP and during this week, there are still tons of bugs to be fixed and many of those are hindering our time to use this "gift" to us. I would ask that you reconsider this double XP for more than 1 week. At least until you fix all of these bugs. If I am a lvl 56 MBH and I cannot even kill a lvl 55 Roba by myself, then there is something seriously wrong with this game and/or this new system. I should be able to play it when I can and not by my friends convienence and vice versa.
Sincerely,
A player of 8 toons on Intrepid.

the devs have stated they will not reply to threads specifically asking for them to reply, duh. and youre all over the place whining about rifles, ranger, jedi and BH in the same thread. and i dont see the problem with similar level MOBs in game, at lvl 80 tkm/mb/mhs with skill and brains i was able to solo lvl 79crazed geonosians, the problem youre whining about is that is that youre not invincible uber anymore, thats what seems to be everyones problem if you want to be invincible go play another game with cheat codes, the CU is here now and thats not how it works anymore, time for you 5th graders to get some skill and strategy and not just spam your best attack . as for your other points, remember, we are still in beta on the CU, a live beta, but a beta nonetheless, this isnt what the final game will be, the xp caps will be fixed and youll be able to do whatever.

Whining? Not everyone is a double elite master. That is my point. For those grinding, they cannot do it solo. I have 8 characters. So my issues are not going to be related to just 1 area of the game. I have characters in all aspects of the game. And if I am going to pay money to play a game that does not work, then yes, I am going to have issues with it.

Jedistinks has a pretty good basic point.
Xp is now too difficult to achieve in anything but a group.
Of course I'm thinking that forced grouping was a desired result of CURB, if so mission accomplished.
