Apparently none of you played SWG. That game was RUINED because Jedi became so popular. You can say that people would play the other professions all you want but it just isn't true, people don't think entertainer/artisan when they think Star Wars.
I played SWG for 4 years, I was a 4/4/4/4 Dark Jedi Gaurdian, the highest level you could achieve in the game. When CU came around Jedi began to pop up more and more because of the robes...then when the NGE hit every 8 year old with their mom's credit card could log on, make a jedi, and scream at me about it not being fair that I got a special robe and crystal.
The game was fun in the beginning. I did insane damage, I could kill anything, but I worked...oh god did I work for it. 2 years I put in to my Jedi toon. He still wasn't the most powerful on the server (not even close). But the best part of the game was the beginning of my jedi training. I'd sit in Coronet, full composite armor, with 50 badges (all exploration and special hunting heh heh) because if I flashed a saber, I was attackable by any and everyone around me, that made it so rare to see a Jedi that whenever you were lucky enough to find a master Bounty hunter who was hunting, you followed him just to see...that's what makes a good star wars mmo.
