Thread: LOL, Sorry.. but this profession is a joke

Right now I think ID is a joke, considering the discord the devs created, the line it has drawn between those who have not mastered it and for whatever reason want to, and those who finished before the changes. I think a person who did not exploit ID and finish it in 2 hours, who put in the months of work way back would be the ones more inclined to care that the current system is not balanced. Most I have seen post have agreed that it is flawed. And though we will never know how those flaming aspiring ID's for voicing dismay gained ID, since they seem to have no regard for those having to grind it out under this new system, I doubt they ever did the work before, just my opinion, but most of you using these forums to flame in general on aspiring jedi's probabaly just need to get a grip, we all play these games for whatever reason we paly them, for many the reason is the hope of playing as a jedi, do not blame us for going through the unlockng system as it was given us. Hate SOE for it
More than that, I think it comes from the Launch-Time assumption that profession mastery would take 3 monthes (Semi-casual, non "sub-optimal") for most of the 'simple' elite professions [look up old posts from Tygress for that tidbit, not sure where else it showed up]...
That concept has been broken apart, even before the hologrinding started. The Jedi Hologrind simply shattered any pretense of it actually taking that length of time to reach mastery.
And I think, some folks just see that finally redressing that departure may be a good thing, and something that should be 'across the board'.
At least, that's my perspective. It might just be me trying to see the best intentions in others, too

I totally see what you are saying, of course all of you masters love it though I would love it if i was master too but that is nearly impossible now, most of the time when you dont feel like you are progressing though you feel like giving up and being novice doesnt give you a good feeling of hope =/ sure you guys might of been master since the game started but what about the people that only recently found out about the game you know? and about the jedis i feel bad for them because some have worked so hard to get Jedi mastering tons of professions WHICH is NOT their fault, you shouldnt get mad at people trying to get jedi, get mad at SoE
I like the changes the devs made to Image Designer, who said I was a master? Who said I even macroed it in one to two hours? I didn't have to do it, to know it was possible. People talk you know.
What I don't like is people coming here, calling the changes crap because they can't breeze past it to get closer to jedi. I'm not mad at anybody for wanting Jedi-what is upset is them coming here with all that negative crap because they have to work harder to get mid now.
OMG you guys really scr3wed the pooch on this one
Nonstop complains about the hologrinders doing your profession in 37 min (took me 6hrs IDing myself and massaging the macro before it took off) THANK DOG I did this one a few months ago!!
The thing is, when we could grind it hella fast, we were out of your hair in under 45 min, never had to see us again and the "real" ID guys didn't have that much competition from people who didn't give 2 squats about ID
However, a buddy just opened holo #4 and got ID. I was like "Sweet! We own this" and OMG did they jack this profession up. He will now be spamming all over the place paying to ID folks. Part of me really wants to laugh at whoever flamed all the "grinders" and part of me really wants to cry. This is why a dictatorship will always be better than letting the sheep vote.

The IDs of the day didn't ask for it to take 60+ hours of staring at a UI plus however many hours trying to find willing guinni pigs. They asked for it not to take one hour. If you are trying to troll, please take it elsewhere.
