Ok so now that Commado, Squad Leader & soon Ranger have been addressed (which we all agree they badly needed) its turn for the voices of the Jedi players to heard. The fact that the Jedi forum is so negative should be very concerning to SOE, even though its seemingly not. The simple fact that Jedi takes so long to acquire demonstrates that we are the longest paying and most loyal customers of SWG. As a reward, our concerns and desires she be made a priority. This forum should be a place where Jedi discuss fun things like planning factional wars or hunting high end creatures. However because of all the issues (some more valid then others) its nothing but a long and disheartening reading experience. Its also significant to mention that the vast majority of people playing this game are pursuing Jedi themselves, making it the single most desired profession in the game. All fully templated Jedi should be extremely difficult but not impossible kill for any non-Jedi profession. We've earned this right to an elite level both with our montly fees and hours and hours logged on first grinding the village and then through Jedi itself.
Also I'm not interested in what any BH might have to say since you can grind BH/Whatever in 2 days.
OH YEAH, FIX THE FREAKIN PEARLS ALREADY.

Jedi should not have priority just because they are jedi. This game is a community and game breaking things should be they only "priority" driven publish. Then need to stop adding new expansions, content, etc... and fix what is in place before screwing everything up even more. Jedi is the hardest profession to accuire sure but everyone pays the same fee to play, period.

Every single profession should have equal attention, however, with the time it's taking for the devs to add decent content, it is approximately 1.5-2 years until each profession is focused on again after it was revamped / tuned. Corrospondants should have more say into what is added to the game. Currently it seems as though they have no more say than we do. The devs should take some positive criticism, read the forums, and change the game with ideas in mind brought about by the gaming community. I mean, granted, the devs have a lot to do and a relatively short time to do it, but recently they have been on an uncontrollable nerfing streak, not just for Jedi, but crafters and the melee professions as well. If SOE really cared about this game, then they might add a few more devs to this game until these in-game issues get worked out.

I would agree with you except
-most jedi i know have been playing this game just long enough to get jedi. To the Veteran jedis /salute
-hours and hours of double xp and respec this summer is how tons of jedi became jedi.
-i know a ton of people that arent intrested in being a saber swinger, so I guess they dont have rights?
-an elite class that deserves.........ummm you pay your monthly dues the same as anyone else why should you be special
- a full templated jedi is very difficult to kill, with the new pub, it can make it easier to catch one unaware, but then look at all the jedi that went down easy to clone trooepers during the purge.
and the biggest reason
"Also I'm not interested in what any BH might have to say since you can grind BH/Whatever in 2 days"
wow closed minded, and how many jedis have bh alts or vice versus so basically you are saying you don't want to listen

You had me hooked until i read this. There are plenty of of long playin, most loyal customers that just werent interested in becoming a jedi. Pls dont confuse the fact that because you grinded for so long, other regualar professions werent working just as hard at doing their own thing 
Otherwise, nice post.

Yes, we all pay the same price to play. My point is that we have paid that price the longest and that should carry some weight, espically when making comments such as telling us the pearl problem and speed issue is not a priority. Thats the same as saying were not a priority. Also I realize the game is a community and I fully support other professions getting attention. Its not as if I only play my Jedi. The point of my post, and hence the title of it, is that now after so many things we have perceived to be negative give the Jedi something to be happy about.

Thats not true, I know many people that have played just as long and longer than me that are not Jedi. Also not saying the pearl problem shouldn't be a priority. But bottom line Jedi shouldn't get priority because they are jedi. If something that has to do with jedi is game breaking it needs to be priority because its game breaking not because it has to do with jedi.

This is here b/c of potential "I dont care how long you grinded posts"
I have a BH alt myself and I'm not close mided.
Also if Jedi were not intended to be elite why not make it a normal profession? Why the long grind? Who the heck would want to do all that grinding to be normal? You've misrepresented me by only including part of my comment and responding only to the monthly fee aspect of it.

I am a day one vet, and really could care less about getting a jedi. The extra toon is about the only reason i think about it.
so what price have you paid longer then me.
I agree jedi do need something, but the jedi profession has had more attention then any other profession. a lot of these new fixes, probs are because of how they ubered up jedis, and all the jedis runnin around in public with out a care in the world.
If anyone should gripe about its there turn are all the professions that had to wait while the devs did patch after patch to work on jedi. or the people who loved pvp till it died so everyone could grind jedi.

So you wouldnt consider lots of Jedi quitting to be game breaking? Cause I know many that are because they are unhappy.

I currently pay for 8 toons (2 of which I just cancelled and 4 more soon to follow), my oldest is 27months and still not a Jedi, my 15month old toon made Jedi way faster so that is what I grinded. My Smuggler/AS still has no love. But, my Jedi is (was) my biggest goal. Now I am working on my main getting Jedi as a support role. The length of time playing is not an issue, teh amount fo work is. Jedi took some a long time to get and a lot of work, they should not be owned by characters that can be complet3ed in a weekend.
