Thread: You know your profession is messed up....
"I hope your holo say Squad Leader"
This is not a curse: Quite the contrary! Two people in my guild had to master SL and did it in a day: Try that with rifleman or BH!

Yup i opened my holo and i though " Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo" not noing anything about how hard or easy SL was to master at the time. AS soon i got novice me and some friends agreed to go to dathomir and do some rancor missions- So we killed one rancor an im like "Holy !*&^" The xp is so easy to get!
But one comment that my friends made that just about sums up SL -"Do you have any other abilitiesother than spamming our screenswith system messages" 
That NEVER happens to me! I use the /sys command VERY frequently. I try to keepthe group I am in focused and on task to do missions. I try to call the targets as best as I can. I have found that players mostly follow directions! It seems to me that they are in need of direction when we go on a hunt. That, and when I ask to join a group, if it is not led by a squad leader, then they usually give me command. I still ask if the previous leader wants toACTUALLY lead the groupthough, its only polite.

I'll be walking down the street and be invited into a group without even talking to them! I see "Invite Zai. He's a Squad leader." I accept and am immediately made leader and ASKED FOR ORDERS by a group I don't even know. I think thats worth it. People look up to me, and being /cheer-ed after a successful mission/etc. is a beautiful thing. I see "Ok, Zai. What now?" When missions are over, and the inevitable group parting occurs, I get saluted.
It makes me smile every time. I just can't wait until we actually get some worth-while abilities, because right now, it's SIMPLY A TITLE. (but one I respect and appreciate very much)
