Hey all , hey SOE!
After looking to the current professions i asked myself why dont you make politician like pilot so that it takes no SPs? The benefits are huge:
Being politician and maybe additional GL is a pain in the ... so almost every city i know has his 2nd or 3rd mayor cos most of them quit after a while.
You have to spend a ton of time and not being able to do PvP or PvE as others can do is frustrating as well asnot beingable to pick up another money making profession as Doc or the Smith-Professions.
Making Politician a SP free Profession could lead to :
- More player citys
- More PVP
- More PVE
- More GCW
- Less frustrated players that quit the game
Or just imagine if a current politician plans on going jedi ? He could never reach the rank of a Jedi Knight b/c his politician profession takes up to many SPs.
Please tell me what you think or if this discussion is already running in another thread....
plus i aswell think this could be an idea for merchant too as those are PASSIVE professions and not entertaining at all except if you sell a droid batterie for 9999999 lol

I just spoke to my friendly neighborhood politician and he came up with some nice ideas as new building types placeable NPCs more decorations and so on and a new idea suddenly crossed my mind.
What if houses grew in relation/additionto the citys rank?!!!!!
I mean if your living in a village houses could look like huts and if your city keeps growing the huts could grow to houses and at Metropolis your houses will look like skyscrapers ?!!
And well Shuttleports could be just a red cross on the ground at lowest shuttle port lvl and become a nice lil hall if at metropolis maybe with spaceship terminal in addition to JTL
As well as Hospitals could be just tents at the lowest rank and as the lvl rises they could grow too
Citys should get some kind of evolution...
And i think there should be Lokian , Talusian etc houses and not only houses from other planets they just dont fit in there ....
What do you think ???

Indeed, cities are in need of some better decoration to keep them interesting. Even useless structures such as archways, more streetlight styles, tatooine towers, and npc apartment structures. As well we need to be able to place more decorations in a city, especially for a sprawling metropolis. Hospitals have no purpose right now. They need to be given an impressive bonus for their usage to encourage people to use them. Shuttleports are a big thing to me on changes for a metropolis. I always believed you should be able to have either two of them for a metro, or a large version that acts as a spaceport (JTL terminal).
Cities really need an improvement to keep them interesting. All NPC building types should be available to use, maybe from special trainers that use political XP to buy these items for cities.

Well, I would like to have my SPs back but in the opposite that means that there will be more ghost towns on the planets.
To create and lead a city you have to spend many time and your skill points and you think about wasting or spending your points for this profession very carefully. If you dont need to spend SPs every guy can test to have a city if he finds enough people to help him with it. In my imagination this would lead to an explosion of cities for some weeks. Maybe some people find this very enjoyable but I wouldn't like this much.
What about a modifier on the Master Politician box for less city maintenance, like the merchant modifier for house maintenance...

I doubt that that would lead to more ghost towns of course more people would try to set up a community
but i think thats a good thing and not a bad thing. And the point is i saw more healthy citys die because the mayor
left the city because he was too frustrated to go on than people that set up ghost citys . And i think there always will be
a few ghost citys but well ok who cares they come and go i dont see a problem there but i got a problem in waking up
without mayor b/c the mayor system is taking away all the fun...
serious i dont know a mayor thats able to go solo into the geo cave but i know many non mayors that can
i dont know a mayor thats able to make a few millions each day and has so much money he cant store it anymore but i know a few others that do
i dont know a mayor that can share the fun of killing the Canyon Corsair Stronghold without any armor at the morning and crafting 950 power
buffpacksin the evening........
and why ? because they dont have enough skill points to pick up the professions they prolly want to try ...plus what if you plan on going jedi...i doubt that you got the 230 sps to start the knight trials if your a mayor...
And yes of course a mayor has to work a lot to keep the comunnity alive but maybe if the profession was at 0 SPs other interested residents could help maybe with a system that allowed granting a few rights like decorating etc or just to change the mayor every 6 weeks then ....I would do it if it was at 0 SP but i wont give up my current grind/ template because i put a lot of work in it
Thx

I think it's a great idea. I mean, we've even thought of pitching in and getting a character that just did Mayor, since so many of our guild has other things they want to spend their points on.
Although, that might be a point for SOE NOT to impliment this

To solo some kind of dungeon is no reason to give us politicians our SP back. Its more a reason to change the combat system that its not possible to solo it with any kind of template, but thats my point of view.

Anyway, for what the heck a mayor needs a few millions? I have enough money and I don't know what to do with. Normally I fund the city with it. I don't need to buy any weapons or something else. Maybe decoration for the town hall, but what else?

When you want to become a Jedi you should think about dropping your mayor being. Being mayor is not a profession you should do in a secondary way, its a main profession and if you have problems that you have to waste so many points, make something else. Everyone is free to decide.
And sorry that its again me who is posting his opinion...

Yes well i agree that you should maybe drop politician then but whos gonna pick it up for you ? Or will you just let the city die sometimes its hard to find someone that goes mayor for you...
And seriously i dont see a reason why pilot is SP free but politician is not ...
But thx that you posted your opinions thats good ^_^
