You can thank the 'Elder Jedi' for starting the ball rolling on fucking up SWG. If these players, and there were thousands of them, had not spent their entire time hologrinding, then village grinding, in the obsessive pursuit of an alpha class that shouldn't have been in the game to begin with, they might have seen that their were other things to do in the game besides powerlevelling and then complaining that they'd run out of things to do.
The economy was royally screwed, due to Jedi existing completely outside of it; roleplaying was tossed out the window due to the obvious canonical discrepancies of having a bunch of Jedi running around during a time when the movies have said they were extinct, and the community was fractured because people no longer wanted to group with their friends or do anything remotely resembling community unless that was a side-effect of their precious grind to Jedi.
Elder Jedi are not the players that were screwed by the NGE. Star Wars fans, roleplayers, crafters, and social players are the ones who should be pissed off at SOE. People that played Jedi were part of the problem, and it always makes me laugh to hear them belly-ache about how SOE has been unfair to them. That's actually the one good thing about the NGE: it invalidated all the time that these jack-offs spent grinding their uber-toons, and thankfully drove most of them away. I only wish that could have been the case a little sooner, back before the game was beyond saving.
