The passions are running high and at least most of the Jedi posting are very angry about the state of our profession. Forgive me if, I cover ground already discussed, but I think its time we come together as a community and recommend a solution that not only fixes our major problems but may make a positive impact on the entire game. This is not about post or pre anything. This is about taking the initiative to come together and find some common ground to build upon. Regardless of if you agree with me or not, lets discuss these issues like adults and find a solution that works for everyone .. both Jedi and the community.
1. Remove player bounties from the game
Player bounties have been an absolute failure that cause more grief, wasted time, and nerf bats than any single item in the game. Right now it doesn't really matter why it started or what it was intended to do, it simply does not work.The shear number of hours spent by the development and community relations teams on this one issue could have brought immesurable new features into the game (content). This one aspect of the gameis so dominating there isn't a single forum where a post can't be found regarding its mechanics.
2. Remove Jedi from the GCW
No sense in arguing here about the roll of Jedi, the canonor any other realted issue. Its a waste of time andenergy. The whole premise of Jedi is dark vs light. (good vs evil). For Jedi, the GCW was simply a means to the end. The rest of the community can have its GCW andJedi can have Jedi Wars. PvPwill exist for both classes on a more consistent and challenging footing.
3. If this doesn't slow down the race toJedi, than create a Jedi hardcap.
In doing so, blow up the village. Grind, grind, grind hardly makes a robust community. The path to Jedi becomes complete random selection based on number of months in game (increases your chances of selection). A jedi closes his account for any reason andthat slot is gone and returned to the pool (if the hardcap is already exceeded, the slot ceases to exist).Sony should aggressively close Jedi auctions.Have a reporting system in place so players could report violations.
4. Create NPC Bounty Hunters whorange in skills and Create NPC Anti-Jedi Teams
Jedi still generate visibility and are hunted byNPC bounty hunters. Allow NPC group hunts of notorious Jedi. Jedi who light up a saber in any major city are attacked by the fast responding Anti-Jedi teams. Even teams of Jedi should not be able to survive this fight without fleeing. Guys, we look like immature show-off kidies with all the saber fights. Because we can, doesn't mean we should.
5. Jedi are PvP enabled 24 / 7.
Yes, I know this is controversial. Many Jedi prefer PvE, me included. Butwith dark and light at war with each other, neither side is safe. All Jedi would be immediately attackable by : Other Jedi ... NPC Troops of all Factions .. The only exception being quest givers and citizen NPC's. Same faction NPC's would not attack aligned Jedi. And Jedi can align with more than one faction, except Imerial and Rebel (you must choose one of these sides).
6. Change the loot system to be similar to the combat system
If you attack anything 10 levels lower than your toon, it drops no loot. Zippo ..Nada .. You must fight at your level to get loot. Loot drops would be based onteh CL difference between thetwo. The tougher the fight, the better chances of gettting good loot. Every CL level has the opportunity forgreat loot this way. Jedi and BH are no longer able to captalize high end loot items.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This would remove a lot of problems with this game. Balancing issues could be resovled quicker without worrying about how it affects Jedi and vice versa. You can flame if you would like, but in doing so you are part of the problem and not helping fixi squat. Before we all just get frustrated and quit, lets see if we can make this game better for everyone and be less Jedi centric.

I say just freeze accounts, take a year to make the game playable, and then launch the game again when its actually finished. Im sick of beta testing this game.
