haha you must be kidding me? holo grinding costs like 10 times more than nading. and who could blame afk dancers? heck if they weren't kind enough to afk dance for us, we'd be wounded to hell. and true, nades have been giving combat xp since the beginning, but, it didn't have a big impact on any other professions. i think when SOE desgined the new system they forgot about grenade xp. Grenades should give grenade xp, just like rifles give rifle xp period.

1) Whos still holo grinding? Last i looked we dont do that anymore. You are talking about now- not months ago. And atm grenades are the most costly thing to grind with. ven rez packs dont run as much as greandes.

2) So its ok to afk macro your way to jedi because it heals your wounds? But its not ok the the commando to go out and still have to kill things? You blame one profession for being cheap, then turn around and excuse another because they heal you?

3) What impact does commando have on any other profession? Commando soesnt effect my armorsmith business. THey dont effect my smuggler business. They dont effect my jedi. So what profession is commando having a huge impact on? I mean after they grind through all that FS xp- they still have roughly 50 MILLION jedi xp to grind out the hard way. THey arent hurting the jedi.

Im not trying to fight with you- but your ideas on commando are little one sided. If you are mad because people are grinding faster than you- my suggestion is to pick up commando. Are you going to be a jedi? Are you workingon being a jedi? The work comes after the padawan trials- not before. THat FS quest junk is a joke and a waste of time anyways. Get through it as fast as you can so you can get on to better and larger things- like 50 MILLION jedi xp!

if grenades gave anything except combat xp NO ONE WOULD USE THEM! Grenades are slow as hell and not worth the dmg output. If they didn't give combat xp absolutely no one would use them. What would be the point? Weaponsmiths would lose all that money they make right now from selling force grinders grenades, which is a millions of credits market which would hurt weaponsmiths a lot. QUIT CRYING ABOUT GRENADES ALREADY!! They wont get nerfed, soe is too busy working on the combat upgrade, which wont even launch for probably another 3 or more months and even after that they'll be too busy working on other things to care about nerfing grenades. And whats with all this *hard work* talk, I dont think *hard work* is the word, I think time consuming is the word for a game. How are you working hard by clicking your mouse and pushing buttons on your keyboard for hours.

youre not making sense. first of all, musician and dancer are 2 professions out of 32. so don't bring it up every time. second of all: the biggest profession that commando has an impact on is ummmm let me think for a moment. JEDI. yes the population is out of control because of them. half the people in every solo group are grinding with nades. and no thanks, i don't need to pickup commando. i ground my FS xp the right way. are you trying to argue that grenades should give combat xp instead of grenade xp?

commando is only 1 profession out of 32

I know a lot fo jedi who didnt use grenades. Hell i only used grenades on one of my branches rest i did the hard way. The jedi population is due to the game and devs. They introduced holo's and people went nuts grinding 3-5 professions a month. Then they introduced FS quests- with free unlocks for professions you had already mastered. People getting 3-4 free branches speed this up a lot.

And even after they use grenades- and hit jedi- only thing they will have after that is a LS.

I didnt know there was a right and wrong way to grind. My apologies.

Im not argueing what is right or wrong. Im simply stating grenades arent the only reason for the jedi population being so high.

And so what a person hit jedi by grinding fast- only thing that does is give BH's more targets. Whats more of a problem- grenades or 50 newbie jedi with no clue to whats going on?

You must forget that new jedis suck in combat, new jedi spend months by themselves. How do the new jedi impact the game when 80% of them live on endor far from anyone?

Its the knights you should be worried about. Even as a novice jedi i worry about the, They have more experience, more power, and an edge over me.

If you dont like the massive amounts of jedi- why are you going for jedi? I have always wanted to be one- doesnt matter how- just that i put in my time, made it, and now grinding like crazy for xp.

As for grenades being legit- i am 50/50 on this matter- because when it comes down to it- jedi xp is the only thing that matters.

the jedi population is out of FREAKIN control. it's all because of the nades. i'm not saying put a hard cap on jedi or anything. but it's not fair to the people who holo grinded or groun FS in the legit way. SOE, please fix the nades. there's already a lot of damage done, but it can still be fixed

It's not fair to the people who holo grinded mostly AFK?

LOL

Thanks for the laugh this morning. I for one don't miss the nearly full catina's full of afk entertainers hologrinding the night away...

There's NEVER been a right way to grind jedi. Everyone has tried to find a shortcut and almost always found one. Just the way it's ALWAYS been in this game.
