Arzo are you seriously just upset because you couldn't ever become a jedi or something? There was huge risks in being a Jedi, Bounty hunters constantly hunting you for a million credits, of course they were OP but umm, have you ever seen the movies? It was legitimate due to needing to be a huge neckbeard to become a jedi and ever level up as one. If you were a min maxer there was probably yeah a good 8-10 profession combinations you could do to SOLO/DUO high end content, but back in the day this didn't matter, we did "high end content" with whoever wanted to come, we'd have people that were master musician and master fencer, they could still do work, god forbid they didn't have doctor to heal themselves or others. Noone cared, a master fencer with master musician or architech did the same DPS as a master fencer/master doctor etc.
You say it didn't kill the game but it INDEED did kill the game, please go look at subscription numbers, HUGE decrease with NGE, why? Because everyone was just a fucking jedi and everyone was the same, because of "balance" no one gave a shit if you had a agent in a group over a jedi, they did the same damage etc. I remember logging in my jedi, them giving me the option to be a lvl 60 of whatever class I wanted due to the NGE, and I clicked jedi hit 2-3 mobs, and logged out never to log him in again. Played with a few different new characters and it was literally WoW with star wars look/monsters and very poorly done compared to the insanely beautiful/immersive/unique game it was before.
