Proposal
I purpose to give players that master every profession in the game excluding Jedi the buff "Flavor of the elder buff" along with the title "Elder" as a reward for grinding out every profession in the game either fully unlocked once you finish it or a slowly stacking buff the more you unlock so if you master 4 you get +2 to all stats until you master them all to get the title and the full +10 or +25 to all stats

The amount can be adjusted it is not to be a MUST have but a nice to have
Justification
What is the justification for making this specific change and how will it impact the affected parties?

It would get people to do more spin groups and a goal to maybe learn more about the game they may not normally touch.

The impact I am not looking for much maybe like a +10 to all stats maybe +25 with a player title so it won't be to overpowered but still give something as a reward for players that wish to do it.
Motivation
What is motivating this suggestion? To reward people who master every profession even with the boosted XP is something that is worthy of something for a reward and while Ace of Aces give more space reward it gives nothing to people who like the ground game

What is the problem? that now we have "Ace of Aces" Let us get something for people who like to spin and do ground stuff. The biggest issue I see with my suggestion is to try to make sure it isn't a MUST have but a reward that can help out.
Please see my Proposal for more details.

Bump this, not sure if any action was taken; however fairly interesting concept, however providing an unfiltered edge to veteran players.

Well there would be nothing stopping any new player from getting it.

And with the XP boost we have on this server it wouldn’t take long to get it either.

I understand what you are saying about vet players having an edge which is something they already do based on resources and having more time in. I wanted something to reward players for exploring the professions and grinding them out being in more groups.

That was also the goal of it and thanks for the bump.
 
Oh hell no.
I already consider AoA to be the "I have no life" badge. Anyone doing this needs an intervention by the people who care about them.
 
Mastering all the professions is infinitely easier than AoA. It doesn't take long with a bit of effort and focus.

Difficulty to obtain something should not be reason to downvote this, the suggestion doesn't provide game breaking benefits.

However, I don't think increasing all stats is the way to go though if this was to be implemented. Although the suggestion here wouldn't break anything currently, this would just make it a requirement for min-maxing, and power creep continues to grow.

Instead, I think it could be something non-combat related, like a 10% exp boost that the "elder" provides their group and themselves. Once a day, 1 hour duration type buff. My 2c.

Yes it could easily become a group buff for XP. I’m not against changing that. A 10 maybe even 20% increase to group members XP. Just something to get and acknowledge.
 
The only thing I worry about with a buff like this is people requiring it for groups. I'd rather have something like the ability to respec freely with a month cooldown, something that doesn't give you an advantage.

Overall, it's not a bad idea; I just think another buff after we have so many in the game is bad. We really need to trim them, not add more.

Concur with this - I actually think that this is a really good suggestion. The 'benefit' you get from doing it to me is what really should be up for discussion.
 
If they do the template thing this will become much more common than it is now. I agree with Phil about the discussion should really be what do you get for it. I think it should be something more along the lines of a Badge and a cosmetic item(s) rather than more buffs of some kind.
 
Going to downvote this one. It will immediately become a necessity for min/max. Not a fan of grinding professions just to receive a buff for pvp.

Change the reward to something else such as a free 250 skill point respect-consumable with a 24 hour cool-down for that char only.

I likewise concur with this, I think the idea of a group effected XP buff would be really nice feature.
