Sorry if this has been posted already; last thing this board needs now is more spam.
With 250 extra SP and no need for any combat skills, Most Jedi players will likely takeup crafting and Merchant.
As the real merchant drop out of the game and are replaced by Jedi merchants, I see the game falling even further out of balance.
Not only do they control combat, now they will control the economy too?
Every other game I have played in my life have had one thing in common, Fairness (word?)
When things are no longer fair for all players, the a game ceases to be fun.

Don't worry about it. No Jedi is going to take merchant skills when hecan take TKM/Fencer/Smuggler skills to helphim get through his Jedinoobness.
Only someone who wants to play a crafter will actually play one.
Legit merchants have nothing to fear from Jedi dabbeling in merchant. Especially with the new merchant patches going in.

I was talking about the alt non-jedi character.
Both the jedi in my guild are now crafters/merchants

If the severe vendor limits go live, there won't BE anyone who wants to be a crafter/nerchant anymore, so Jedi or whoever else...have at it...

You have to understand....
the devs care about the jedi and the folks who play jedi a whole lot more than they care about us.
Unfair that they get extra lots by /transferstructure? Well just deal.
They're getting killed? We'll let them rez themselves.
I don't want to make a whole list. But if you are complaining about advantages given to jedi or their alts, the devs will almost certainly turn a deaf ear to your points.

"If everyone is talking about it then there is probably something to it."
.... you have to admit he has a good point here. If EVERY time a topic comes up, someone points out how Jedi have an unfair advantage, then its probably cuz they do. I think the non jedi players are just a bit mad that the last two patches are full of new things and content for Jedi, and only things for non Jedi are nerfs.

as jedi are the worst class to play and i hate to play them since pub 9 ( i am not a mass murder) one of my jedis is going to become a merchant (was even planed before the anouncement of the vendor items).
best thing at the jedi after pub 9 is now its a full char which i can do what i want with.
and the transferstructure is fair for jedis as otherwise they would lose 10 lots (cross servertrade as the jedi takes one of your 8 chars). the best at the jedi is that they have 10 lots (i dont use my jedis for any other at the moment). and for all the work it was to make a jedi anyone have the rigth to do with them what they want.
when one will be a jedi and play as a jedi fine. other just have a bit saber and is a merchant or a crafter or what ever.
you should stop being jealeas at jedis as everyone who have one have worked hard for it. and if i could chose i would love to go back to permadeath as there playing my jedi was fun.

I would guess that alot of the current Jedi were purchased, but I do grant that acheiving Jedi is quite an accomplishment that should have rewards.
I'm just not happy with the proposed changes and working every angle I can find 
I guess all these debates will be a moot point after publish 10 where everyone will get a second charachter.

For the love of God, is it POSSIBLE to have a discussion about anything at all without somebody showing up and whining about Jedi? It it even possible?
That's all I want to know.

This is the first time I have ever brought it up because it has never affected me before.
