You just don't get it I guess. I have no problem with being a pvp character, but there has to be a way to grind successfully without visibility in order to get from newb padawan to something that can defend itself. Since the CU, the only way to get decent xp is to grind in groups and make mad dashes to the known trainer areas, hoping that 3 BH's aren't there with your pathetic 40k mission. I am really enjoying the group grind as a jedi, it just needs to be balanced out, what about the sabers, we are supposed to be 1.5 of a master proffession but we don't do as much damage as master rifles. Thats not what we all imagined a jedi would be. I welcome the pvp, but I also want to be able to grind without being forced into it.

There is nothing broken with Vis, its working as intended....
There is plenty of game out there for those that dont want to PvP...but remember that Jedi has been and will remain a "PvP enabled" character. Don't want PvP, there are ways to avoid it, you could play something other than Jedi...or play a game that has no PvP in it. I'm not trying to tell you to quit...or to stop playing jedi...only realize that you chose to play a profession that PvP is a part of...and should remain that way. Just because you dont like that fact doesn't mean we should change the entire profession to be like everyone else. Once you do that, Jedi truly will be nerfed down to the same level as everyone else...and it truly will be worthless

That's a very good idea... As it wouldn't nerf the defender profession, and would help every other template that does not want to have some defender in it.

Visibility should not be removed just because you choose to group up and take the easy road. The fixes are for the Jedi profession to be able to operate as intended and play solo during thier grind to remain off the terminals. You already got a reduction in XP loss with no cloning punishment anymore...leave it at that..its already getting far too easy. Jedi were not meant to level in groups, the devs have specifically stated that time and time again. We need to get saber DPS fixed, get the professions specials Fixed, get padawans (and for that matter other professions when grinding a second profession) ability to grind....
SonG, a few issues need to be looked at that would level the playing field, and potentially help ALL jedi including padawans on thier grind..and the super weak non-defender templated knights...
We need to see if the Devs will move 20-25 of the innate armor into the intiate jedi box for a total of 40-45 instead of 20. This would not take anything away from defender as they would still get all 70 of thiers and all their defenses and abilities on top of it...they would remain a tank. But it would give a Jedi at least a small amount of protection (much less than the 55% we had before) so that we could survive more than a hit or two in combat. With a Master Enhancer/Master LS or a Master Powers/Master LS we are about as able to take damage as a paper bag.
This one fix alone could end alot of the "nerf defender" cries, would stop padawans from having such a difficult time surviving thier grind...and would help an enhancer or powers jedi be able to play thier template...without having to dabble in defender just to survive a few hits.
you both are wrong i guess, in my opinion if you don´t want to spend the SP you shouln´t take it then. If i choose to take the defender i cant use the powers of wielder or enhancer (if it gets fixed), so why enhancer or wielder should get the benefits of defender?
I know it´s a hard way up to Knight now, but personal i think it´s a good way to control the Jedi population, so you got 2 ways to go for it atm. the first is go out and solo how it´s intended for Jedi and keep save frome visibility. Or justgroup give a sh.. on vis and grind it out in a few hours.
The CU - especially the /respec thing has made it easier than ever for Jedi to level!
The thing where you keep your jedi points till next /respec - is somehow beeing abused - and Jedi are mass levelling! You can easily go from noob to finished template in 2-3 weeks. And we see so many Jedi doing it!
