Look...Jedi masters don't get to retire and live happily ever after. Look at what happened to Obi Wan and Yoda. They both decided to exile and hide... They both didn't do much to train and prepare Luke. I guess it's a trend for all Jedi masters to train future bad guy and then hide from their own shame and sense of failure....LOL

I'm also highly critical of both Yoda's and Obi-Wan's behaviour throughout the saga.
But their goal in hiding was to eventually train Luke or Leia to overthrow the Sith. They had a long term plan with the greater good in mind.(Granted, they manipulated Luke a lot and at no time had his best interests at heart - which is why it was awesome when Luke disobeyed them to do what was right in ESB).
Palpatine badically had a 20-30 year long plan to conquer the galaxy, and Yoda/Obi countered that plan with some long term planning of their own.
