Well... In the old days there were about 15 of em total a server and they were super hard to get/grind,
3months, ect.
Now theres200 jedi a server.
2.5 weeks grind? 1 week powergrinding with double exp (its been done)
The saber animations were even toned down in graphics with the recent x10 of the jedi population post-cu to
tone down people getting Crashes because there were so many of em.
Since it was the players that wanted Jedi to be a known path (according to SOE, they had voting on this), there isn't that much of a surprise there are more now.
I just wonder what you cry about?
it was not so called jedi crying that got the profession nerfed...it was thenon-jedPvP community that got tired of seeing sqauds of jedi slaying everything...

Would you guys really like to know the reason jedi aren't stronger? It's become very clear to me all of a sudden, just kinda dawned on meafter reading all the posts about people crying. This is not my opinion, this is THE TRUTH and it is indisputable.
Here it is...
Jedi are not the uber killing machines they should be, because of the public outcries. Yes, you have no one to blame but yourselves and your jedi peers. Jedi cried about PermaDeath. Jedi cried about forced pvp via saber tef. Jedi cried about BH's grouping on them and singling them out.
It's that simple. You cannot have a profession be superior when you constantly have the risks of that profession eliminated. Every single time you have another risk lowered or removed, SOE WILL reduce your power/killing effectiveness. To put it into perspective, lets look at Jedi in the old days.
SOE had planned to make high rank jedi able to take on 20+ of elite players. They planned to make them uber. But what happened? Jedi complained about permadeath and it was removed. Therefore, they also had to lower its power since it no longer needed it since jedi didn't have to worry about being killed off and having to make a new character. The same thing with saber TEF. Every single risk you once had is being slowly eliminated from the game.
Even today, there are people wanting bh missions on jedi removed. They feel forced pvp is not fair. They feel they should be allowed to have jedi with no risk at all. Well, if you truly want that, then you have to realize they will nerf jedi even more. If you want jedi to be just another profession, then SOE will make it that way lol.
Jedi is supposed to be a profession that is a bonus. It is supposed to be powerful, and it is a gift, not a right to have one. Although I will admit it was planned poorly and SOE should of made a new system to limit the jedi population, but its too late for that now. I just want you guys to understand why the nerfs keep coming in. Its because of the risks of being jedi and slowly being phased out.
Fixed

Actually I believe it was the outcry from the non-Jedi after the FRS was put in game that truely lead to the destruction of this profession (specially when it first came out Jedi leveled from killing normal overts lol....that was a big mistake). Even after they changed it so overts were not part of the xp, damage was done and Jedi was hated from that point on. Couple that with the Village making unlocking Jedi easier than the CURB making grinding Jedi easier....well what did we expect.
I do however feel the broken things that prevent us from at least being EQUAL needs to be addressed. FRS need to put back the teeth in this profession as well as the penalties. That way the carebears can all go hug each other while we can work to improve ourselves.
