Its being nerfed so badly because a majority of players have no interest in PVP, or FRS. But they want to still be jedi, with jedi being slightly better than the FOTM its less insentive to be a jedi, providing the much needed population control. Since it will take you months to grind to be abit better than something that can take 3 days.

Again this revamp is population control to one extent or another.

Why make a post on this board just to be flamed at? If you are goning leave just do it. Tell those in game that need to know, give your stuff away to those who need it and leave.

Seriously, when I started to play on TC2, I thought COOL and was impressed with the level of detail represented in the skill set and the divisions of Jedi abilities.

However, after getting both of my "knight"'s ass handed tothem by surprizingly low-level npc's, my confidence has veered a bit.

After the reset, I designed a "defense" centered jedi and still it takes FOREVER to take down some semi-tough npcs. My other chars on live clean them up very easily. Again, my smile is waning.

Added more loot requirements (more expense to my jedi char), Andkill 5 of my 10 crystals (twins) for what reason?

So far my play has drifted to almost 5 mins or so here and there (and just to ck on harvesters).

I've been in this game for a year. My fav prof, CH, nerfed to oblivion. Pistoleer, nerfed and ignored, BH, nerfed and broken foreva, Jedi--knocked down to a normal fotm-char.

12 months (and $250 spent) of seeking, unlocking, and grinding a jedi,for what? so he will be a little more powerful than a 3-day char. ppfffftttttttttttttt!!!

As is? Yeah, I'll be leaving.

I don't plan to quit just yet, but I cannot deny that I am quickly approaching total exasperation. It seems like everytime I tell myself that xyz change isn't so bad and I can roll with it another comes along. It's like being in a fight and everytime you get hit you tell yourself that it wasn't so bad and you should just shake it off until finally you are on the ground being kicked and stomped mercilessly. You will reach a point somewhere that you can't just "shake it off" and go about your business and I feel myself reaching that point.

After four months to grind out 24 professions and being thankful it wasn't 28-32 like many others and thinking I could take my time with the rest of it (how wrong I was), beginning the long grind up through initiate, initially spending far more time staking out the krayt graveyard rather than actually playing my Jedi... only to lose most of the skills I earned and a six month minimum grind to be no more powerful than a normal profession that I can master in a weekend. Oh, almost forgot, no reward other than being a Jedi, well sort of one since you won't even be a knight if you're not interested in pvp, and no endgame unless you choose to join the frs which will bring out the worst in all involved as it becomes a gankfest.

Thanks, but no thanks. I put up with enough aggravation RL that I have no control over, and I'm not going to pay for another helping. /cancel two accounts.

Ep,

Lightside Knights?

Counsil elected by the biggest PA's, other players need not apply.

Darkside Knights?

Many competing andmany will not able to enter the ranks, due to play requirements (2-3 times per week), sorry, I have a life that I actually take seriously.

Many never able to move up cuz, a "normal" player can not defeat a far more powerful and experienced force-PvP player in a duel.

It was never a question of not wanting to PvP. It is a question about grinding another 6 months for just the chance to PvP for rank. It is a question of non-powerplayers having nothing to show for their money, time, and skillchoices.

Yes, the counsil jedi should be vastly more powerful, but normal overt-knights are a ganker's wet dream? Yeah, sorry, I don't think so.

I havenever really paid much attention topeople who threaten to quit because something didn't go their way.

I have also been one of the Dev's biggest fans because I have always seen logic in their decisions.

With this revamp I can see some logic and understand that a combat revamp is in the works very soon.

But. I see some very flawed decisions. My biggest frustration does not even apply to me as I am an Apprentice. I cannot comprehend for a second why the devs think that 1.6 million xp at Initiate is the same as 1.6 million xp at Apprentice.

Initiates are lucky to do 40k xp/hr where I can do 100k, and guardians can do 200k. They are really giving it to the lower level Jedi and I do not think it is fair in the least.

I am sure the devs will rectify the issues though.

I must admit that I am very worried about the skill conversion. I am currently at 4 3 3 2 apprentice with 1.4 mil xp saved. If I cannot at least Master Defense and get 2 lines of Saber... I will have some decisions to make.

Please don't lecture me about how my expectations are too high because the xp requirements are higher. I know that doing 250k xp per buff session and 450k xp per buff session at guardian, along with the saber tree being a cinch that I was close to my goal.

I will cancel my 3 support account and play with what I will get from the conversion.

No way I continue to grind after the patch 9, so I don t need my dancer/doc bot, my BH to see if I m on the term and my ID/musicien bot.

I will use the one of my guild, since I will play planned session, and not a lonely grind.

Thanks SOE for making me save 45 bucks a month
