And I paid for the 20 man gank squads that came for me when I was grinding.

And now tell the rest of the story, as I also paid for this... We had our own tricks, that NO longer work.

Lets see...

1) We just didn't fight back,and if were smart were in a group aswell, and the rest ofour group could attack the BH, but no one in our group could be attack if us (the jedi) never attacked the the BH back. Even a newbie paddy could use this to escape any gank squads.

2) We could not fight and didn't get a TEF, so we could just run into a structure.

3) We could do a few other undocumentd tricks,or swim60m out if we were grinding on endor.

4) When we were full template, we could hold our own against 5 good non-jedi players, and at the very least put the hurt on them and flee...

(None of these we can do anymore)

Now we are in a world where our sabers are the weakest powered profession weapon (even with perfect pearls)- TRUE.

Now we have the least defenses - even if we take full MD it is only 20ptsmore powerful than a TKM, the state resists are broken since like pub 22, and other melee classes get COB, which is the same as Aura.

Now we can get a SL BH gank squad - yes they can STILL get our missions, especially when additionaly bounties get placed our our heads - go look at 'SS's web site for example - it is worth their time to find our missions, and not that hard considering the $ amounts give it away.

Oh and the SL buffs help the BH in combat against the Jedi, and the SL can even change the buffs an enhance the BH as needed during combat, Only option for a Jedi is to pay for SL body guard - Wow Jedi are the saviors of the galaxy, but they need to hire body guard SLs.

Also even with Valor, Aura, and all the tricks we have if we take Defenses in Jedi (which should just be given to EVERY jedi), we can still be killed in a couple of hits from a good rifleman. Wow, that is fun and fair.

The Alpha Defense class of the game and a BH/Rifleman can two shot the Jedi before the Jedi can even throw a heal.

Oh, and before we could heal as fast as we need to - no timers. Now not only do we have heal timers, ours are the SLOWEST in the game, making Jedi the worst healers in the game. In just PVP, standing toe to toe a Doc/TKM can always take out a jedi,as they can stay healed for any damage the Jedi does, and never run out of force.

Oh, and lets not forget that a BH can get a second Master like Rifleman or Pistoleer, and still get 4xxx in CM, and heal almost as hard as a Doc and faster than the Jedi they are fighting.

Jedi's amazing healing was one of the things that made them uber, even if they didn't have defense - Now Gone.

Oh, and to add to this subject of how much Jedi SUCK NOW.

I am MD/4203Enh/0404LS/4000Heal... So I have basically as much defense for a jedi as you can get in the game. From Innate 70, to Force Armor, to Force Sheild to Force Absorb, to Force Feedback to AI. And just ran an NK mission with 2 other Jedi, one MP/Enhance, other MLS/MD...

With EVERYTHING I HAVE and Food turned on. Aura,Valor,F Sheild, F Armor, Absorb, Feedback, Infuse - the NK hit me for 2800 pts of damage on his second blow - and I TOOK all the damage killing me... I was dumb enough to think it was a glitch, revived myself with my ring, and stood toe to toe with the NK using AI this time, and even with AI stacked, he somehow managed to kill me. (And I am a developer with one of the best high speed connections anyone can buy, so don't me that my 35ms ping and 0% loss packet was the problem there either).

Wow, it is great to have all these uber defenses, to have an NPC have every FORCE ability and be able to basically one hit kill me. He murdered everyone, the only people killing the NK well now are Jedi that have Riflemans in their group or Rifleman, that keep him rooted and snared at +40m the entire time, kite him and don't even have to worry about damage. Wish Jedi was this powerful...

And SOE wonders why we play our Alts with the OLD professions so we can do the 'uber' things, and SOE probably wonders why the worlds are deserted now, after Pub 24, it was the nail in the coffin for so many people, I got 20 emails on one toon alone from people leaving the game..

I know a guild of 100+ players (POST CU numbers, they managed to survive the great CU purge), and there is maybe one person on now EVER in that guild. The rest are off playing WoW and other games... Hmm.... Since of what SOE and Lucas Arts have done to destroy a game when they would usually have 30 people or more on a time that they had to upgrade their ventrillo to handle the guild.

Funny, wonder what the BH's will hunt when the Jedi are gone, and the other players are gone, wonder if they will be happy with all the crying and nerfs they imposed on Jedi then... Oh we cried cause we couldn't kill a jedi and now no one but us plays... Give them something good to cry about and then go back to their pathetic lives.

In a game like this, you NEVER ask for abilities to be removed from other professions or players, if you feel your profession doesn't stack up, then you ask for stuff to be added to your profession. PERIOD. Taking away abilities as Jedi have encounted almost every patch starting at the CU does nothing but P*ss off customers. How can devleopers and SOE be this stupid?

This is about my final straw in this game, and yes I am using this post to Vent.

I was once a good Jedi, not SUPER, but enough more powerful than my Doc/Swordsman that it was still fun to play my Jedi. Now when I want to be 'powerful' in combat, I grab my TKM/Doc and out damage and take more damage and heal faster than my Jedi (and myJedi that has virtually every defense in the game and I worked on for over year).

Fix Jedi, and fix the NPC Ai, and fix the Snare nerf, and fix the XP nerfs, or this is really it for myself and my friends, and I personally have8 accounts I have kept, not because I play them, just cause I could afford them.

And at this point, what IS THERE TO PLAY? - Go be a Jedi and get killed by a NON FORCE Robot with Force power in one hit? Wow, that sounds like fun - I could just play pac-man and run into the ghosts, same fun...

Here I am minding my own business in the Aakuan Cave when 2 Bounty Hunters come in, gee I wonder how they both got my mission, oh and from the same guild too. I notice a third person who is just standing with them. They dispatch me real quick like, like I was not MDEF and MLS. Come to find out the third is a Squad Leader and can help the Bounty Hunters. Well fellow Jedi...no where to hide....cant run....we are all bantha poodoo now. Just the play toys of the BountyHunter/SquadLeader gank squads.

Hint for the Devs....this is not fun. I grow angry.
