Take a look at the current state of SWG. Not everyone is a Jedi, even though you can select it as a starting profession. I think people fail to realize that MMO players tend to select classes that most compliment their preferred playstyle. To think anything else is ignorant.

Look at the DK in WoW. Yes it's cool, and yes there were a ton of them when WotLK was released. Now look how many people are actually playing the class as we speak. Not many.

it's amazing how many assumptions MMO players make about stuff, and fail to look at the long term.

Well you obviously weren't a PRE-NGE player, and didn't see the server when NGE went live on SWG, when they made Jedi a starting class. All I saw were people with glow sticks wanting to duel Pre-CU Jedi (I was one of those Pre-CU Jedi, and that was the last day I played SWG). Then, becouse everyone thought he was going to be the next Anakin or Mace Windu, they nerfed Jedi... BADLY, to the point were a Medic could slap you with his stethoscope and kill you. Also, DK in WOW is a bad example. A LOT of new players went DK for the "free mount" and "free armor", and I saw some people that had no clue how to tank or dps when the class came out, but used the class because it looked cool and they wanted to be Arthas, hence giving DKs a bad rep the first few months after launch. Most of those "bad" DKs are now bank mules. I want to play SWTOR very much (probably will make a BH), but one thing that people must understand is that, to make it fair, you CANNOT make Jedi an alpha class (what it should be next to Bounty Hunter). People thing just because you can wield a lightsaber you will be the shit, and its that mind set that gives classes bad names. If some players would understand that, Jedi overpopulation wouldn't be a problem, like it has been on the past. Please, control the Jedi population, have your noob neuter :) j/k.
