I do not understand the way SoE are behaving concerning the simple matter of there paying customers liking there work or not.
Any fool can see that nerfs = less players, less fun enviroment with all the nerf calling and ultimately less money.
I do not understand how SoE can continue to nerf and nerf Jedi and other professions making the game less and less fun to play.
I cannot personally imagen the thought processes going on at the devs headquarters, can you honestly imagen somebody honestly saying and thinking that doing what they're doing - ignoring game breaking bugs and issues with Jedi and nerfing them further - is a good idea? Why do they continue to ignore and ban excellent ideas from the forums? I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that atleast a few devs beyound the ones which post on the forums havent read Gizmos ideas and thought "wow thats a good idea!" but why don't they impliment any of them?
In my humble opinion it would be extremely easy to restore order and gain peoples trust in SoE again. Fix one thing about Jedi. Can you imagen the tidal wave of "Thank you SoE" posts and how overnight the community would be settled down again. Why don't they just fix the tunes on crystals/pearls? Sure it might upset the Bounty Hunter community (being one myself, untill tomorrow that is), but it would settle the sea and bring some well earnt justice to the system.
Please SoE hear the cry of thousands of you're players and buff something, anything... we're tired of losing our friends, we're tired of seeing these kinds of posts and we're all confused as to why you're purposefully destroying you're own game and playerbase only losing YOURESELF money... do you really think anybody likes getting nerfed? You're only costing YOURSELVES money.
One last passing thought i'd like to pass on is you're handling of the current flaming/trolling situation. You've shown in the past that if the community spams up the forums enough with complaints you'll act. And at this very moment, posting the two threads i've seen from devs basically saying "Cut it out" are only showing you're paying attention and its getting to you... they might as well say "Continue flaming us because we're paying attention, its bothering usand it'll gain action sooner or later."
I hope things change soon or i'm afraid Star Wars Galaxies death warrent will have been signed and the game will become unplayable - and SoE will finally realise how badly they've shot themselves in the foot.

I doubt that. The post entitled "Garva is a shemale" reached 12 pages before it was deleted.
Besides i'm only offering my advice, advice which could one day earn all the devs a bigger staff room.

They are trying to weed the game down so they can do server mergers and cut costs

Thats an extremely odd mentality of them.
Imagen playing a game like Black & White 2... and thinking "Hmm insted of getting more settlers and building bigger towns for bigger income... i'm gonna throw 250 Villegers into the sea and combine all of my towns into one.... meaning i'll get less income, but i wont have as much outgoing. Damn i'm smart!"
At the end of the day it means less money for them still.

Well, it is a good question. Is it really all important to nerf a profession until it is genuinely unpleasant to play, or can it actually be fun to play and keep a customer paying? Does it really matter if every jedi gets 100 perfectly tuned pearls? It's not like it destablizes the real life economy.
It just seems like some of the decisions made here are being made as if it was real life and things TRUELY needed to be balanced in such a delicate manner. As the poster asked, does it need to be so? Isn't there a happy middle where the player can be happy and prosper and so can the devs?

What confuses me is SoE are OBVIOUSLY after money. End of the day its money they want.
More subscriptions = more money.
Community hating them = less money.
Nerfs = less money.
Balance = more money if done correctly.
Jedi = more money than 10 BH combined.
Nerfing Jedi so much that theres hundreds of posts, godknows how many more banned and hundreds if not thousands of accounts cancelled = A LOT LESS MONEY!
