>I have to disagree about getting 6 free unlocks for doing 4 + 1. It was out of 8 professions,
Keep in mind that they changed the game on you when they realized that a) their system was not working and b) the marketing hype period was over regarding Jedi. The original system was 4 + 1 Hidden. If you go back in this forum there were hundred of people who unlocked with 5 professions.
Changing the rules midway should only have applied to newly generated characters, people already on the path of 4 + 1 should have been allowed to continue it. On top of that they were not up front on how compensation for completed professions would be handled. People would have done things a lot different if they had known that they would only be compensated for "Hidden" professions.
This thread is a perfect example, people have already posted about getting 2 unlocks with 20+ professions, that is just insane.

I grinded all my holos, and kept blind grinding till i gave up on profession #24, and i gave up cos i ran out of enjoyment. Now afer being promissed a quest based system i found i have to keep grinding like a fool just to unlock.
I feel treachered.
We have done enough.

A lot of people don't really understand apparantly what the Holocrons were for.
You had X number of professions to master (has changed over time)
The originalmethod was to guess at what professions you needed.
You want credit for guessing wrong. That's what it sounds like to me.
The holocrons had nothing to do with the professions. They were designed to help you along your path of guessing what professions you needed to do.
I think the method is fair and just.
It would be like going to a game show and demanding you got credit for every question you got wrong.
But this is just my opinion. YOu can disaggree with me all you want.

Sony never promised anyone Jedi, nor did they promise that the path to such would stay the same over time. They have the right to continue making it harder over time if they want to (which is what they have been doing). While this may feel unfair to some, others feel it is in the best interest of the game over the long haul to not have Jedi everywhere.
Yes, the path to Jedi has been tweaked from 5 to 8 professions then to the new system. They were not required to announce these changes. The design goal was for the Jedi path to be random and to change over time as people figured out paths. People didn't like randomness so they now have a more straightforward system as people requested. But in being straightforward, it kinda needed to be harder.
Personally, I think it'd be a good idea if they set up a server where getting Jedi was easier and where they ditch the whole storyline there. Then people that want to go weild lightsabers can do so with thousands of others. But in the Galaxy setting we have now Jedi should kinda be rare.
Best of luck,

I really dont' think you should automatically be a Jedi because 5 professions were mastered, but I am still an advocate for lower FS XP for the branches.

First....Just to clear something up, I am not downing people for their playing style...I just don't understand the logic in wanting credit for guessing wrong....
To you Apok....I've played since about a month after launch, and I have only mastered a few professions...Because I am actually playing the game...Not just grinding all the time. Maybe this is why some people enjoy the game more then others.
I've mastered the following:
Marksman, Scout, Medic, Doctor, Brawler, TK, Swordsman, Entertainer (Holo), Musican, BE, and CH. Are you saying I am slow too? I just played each profession, because that's what I wanted to do. Granted...If I wanted to, I could have had all professions burned thru in a couple weeks like some other people. I just didn't want to burn myself out. I still enjoy playing this game, and I will continue to do so at my own pace.
