permadeath would solve seeing glowsticks all over the place, but it wouldn't solve the whining. Good lord, it'd increase the whining a thousandfold. To quote Admiral Ackbar. "SOE can't repel whining of that magnitude!"
However... Permadeath could happen one way that would be infinitely cool, and most would be happy with. If you get to a certain point in visibility, the iconic BH's come for you, and they don't play nice. You actually get away from one of these, and the Emperor's Hands come for you. You get away from these, and Lord Vader comes for you. You will NOT get away from Lord Vader, and your glowstickie gets permadeath. If you were lucky enough to be extremely in tune with the Force, you can be a blue glowie in game. Otherwise, generate a new character and start from scratch.
You can't have PvP causing the permadeath. Whining potential is too great. If the game itself triggers the permadeath, whining can't be as high, because the glowstickie brought it upon him/herself.

of course the thread is the deleted, do you think SOE's Precious jedi dogs would allow such a "travesty" to happen? Of course now, Jedi are the "end game" and SOE wants everyone to be a jedi.

I did not get to read the post before it was deleted. Can someone give me a summary?

Someone started a thread on the BH boards claiming that Tiggs made a comment in live chat about plans on permanantly reducing the Jedi population.

Well, it's possible it got deleted because it IS true and they don't want to talk about it yet.
They've been talking about Vader running npc gank squads since development of the game.... you'd think they'd get around to it eventually.

One of my earlier replies in this thread quoted GarVa saying that it's not true....
Here is a link to GarVa's post...

oh well, it was a good pipe dream.
I agree with an above poster. If there were non-FS servers, I would join one with only slight hesitation. If they allowed character transfer to that server, I'd do it in just ONE shake of a lamb's tail.

I hope something is implemented soon though, the situation has gotten way out of hand. Furthermore it's the people who play Jedi characters as they're supposed to be played who suffer the most from the reputation the profession has gotten in this game....
