I remember being a Jedi Knight. I remember seeing a BH on his AV21 arrive while I was meditating in the ruins of Dantoine. I remember cloaking and then stalking him as he, in turn, hunted me. I remember decloaking behind him and then hurling him to the ground with my Saber Throw 3. I remember killing him while I played my speech macro: 'So, my old friend, we meet again at last perhaps for the first time' and him going; 'Wot/ U r imba'.

Yes, yes. I was imbalanced. I spent two years grinding cows in Dantoine to be imbalanced. I spent two years building up a food and drink business so i could afford the skill tapes so I could modify my clothes so I could solo the great Krayt Dragons so I could get the four Premium pearls so I could be imbalanced.

That is why I am still angry. Why don't you get it SOE?

I shifted over to WoW. Love the graphics but it's just too linear and simple a game. Tried COH and COV - the customisation is fabulous and the community is great but the instancing was repetitive. Tried EQ2 but the landscapes were far too small and, again, it was all too repetitive. Tried Second Life which offered all the open-ended experience I liked but it was just too rough and crude to work properly.

You broke my game, Smedley. How I'd like to jam a steel pineapple up your sphincter!

That will lead you only to the Darkside of the Force!

But despite all that Hubert...you have to let it go....its dead, its gone, the time you spent isn't coming back (there is a lesson in there somewhere btw).   There's some new games that you probably can find some enjoyment in.... if only you'll let the past go.....

Actually, I'm mad that Jedi were ever introduced to fuck this game up.  What an amazing game this was when it came out, now it is a shadow of its former self.  All because of Jedi and bad Live designers.  I'm a Star Wars fan first and foremost, so the introduction of Jedi in a period where there were only THREE was pretty annoying.

Jedi were imbalanced and it didn't many the 2 years you spent to obtain all that, I obtained the same results within months.  It wasn't hard.  This isn't the point though.  Hopefully if Bioware is making a KOTOR game we can all just finally enjoy a Jedi oriented game where we won't be nerfed or balanced to be on par with non-force sensitive classes.

Um most who played as a Jedi would disagree...We had a balance bar called force, and at one time a risk system that kept us in check..Jedi were hidden pre9 for the most part but due to all the cries and whines most of the risk system was revamped poorly.But in reality Jedi were very good vs range and meh vs melee..Was reallt based on the player some excelled while others couldnt grasp their abilities.

 As with all this talk of imbalance you had to think about what was in place at certain points in SWG..When the Risk was removed Jedi flourished but still balanced within the system itself.A good player could whipe a jedi out in no time cause they out lasted his/her force bar..I learned to play in each system adjusting my pvp toons accordingly.Sadly most just complained about things that had a strength and weakness built into each build..

SOE could never get the right risk system without nerfing/unnerfing the wrong things..The system was fine just how it was implemented over and over and over changing monthly is were it went wrong..Dont blame the System blame the systems Devs, they broke it not the player base..

Just so you know balance is a farce, why play something to be just like everyone else? No Dev in the world can ever balance the people behind the keyboards.I like a challenge and a goal to work towards that is rewarding..But i also want  a system in place thats fair to all but has risk-rewards system in place.Being just like everyone else with no hope of being better is bland and boring..That system is in every other MMO and game..Swg Had it right just no vision and constantly changing the ruleset of the core..

BTW dont matter now cause easy mode SWG is in and this system is long Dead now..Too bad most didnt see how well the system had checks and balances in place.Any profession could beat another in the right combinations..Even the Quote broken lame ones with the right player behind them..

Let me get this... You are angry because a few years ago SOE screwed up thier game, and lost your business?

I think you need to get over it, or seek professional help. This isnt a life changing event (like a natural disaster or war), it is a game. If you cant deal with that, you have more serious problems.

Whiners? Your calling us whiners after what SOE and now it seems Blizzard as well has reduced the Gaming Industry to? That's pathetic, really sad and pathetic, you should go and take a read at what SOE and Blizzard have been doing lately with their games, IGE executives? Game based credit cards? They're turning games people play into money shills and I'm getting sick of it.

You are angry because the companies that make these games are trying to make as much money as possible from them (i.e. maximize thier returns).

It seems to me that both of you are just whining about nothing... and that would rather become outcast to society, than try to fix any of your 'percieved' problems. If your goal is to become disdained and to be treated as less than human (i.e. internet troll) then you are on the right path...

Another Jedi crying because he's not uber anymore :\ Tbh stop moaning, people spent just as much time on their professions as you to be shafted like crafters but they don't make posts crying all the time. Noone said you have play the game for 2 years grinding up Jedi did they?

The box said "gameplay might change" or w/e so accept it.

Freaking Jedi ruined the game and broke the economy and turned everything in the game about them, and they're still crying.
