I did a small spread sheet myself for slicing ( post nerf ), and my results highly correlates with yours. Automated saboteur, and Fly on the wall was making me the most money, on a pretty consistent basis. Be careful what you read was also doing pretty well too. But I didn't test all the lock box missions, and tended to focus on the ones that I already knew had a high success rate. My spread sheet was made on excel, and in all honesty, quite confusing, and I didn't properly record some of the colors of lock boxes early on in the spread sheet, nor did I properly record bonus Items and such early on either. So half my results would be useless, and would distort your results.

Just because a complex sounding word or phrase is used a lot, doesn't mean you understand it. He made no ad hominem attacks in his post. an Ad Hominem is a personal attack in lieu of an argument. Which means, the personal attack is replacing the argument. His post pointed out that people whining are whining because they don't understand the difficulty of coding, and trying to fix bugs, which quite difficult , and fixing one bug can create multiple more ( Look at Bethseda as an example of this. ) He did not say that they are whining because they are whiners. So please, just because a catch phrase gets popular online, doesn't mean you can go around using it without actually knowing what it means. Using complex sounding words and phrases doesn't make you smarter, instead, understanding such phrases and words makes you smarter. When you use them incorrectly to go on the offensive against someone, it just makes you look stupid.

In my opinion, it has nothing to do with being playable, or requiring the game to look amazing. To me, the problem is that EVERY official BioWare screen shots and videos of the game here on this site, and pics sent to publications all over the world, all show the game with the High-res textures, AA, and appear to have much better shaders / lighting. Everyone was led to believe THAT was how the game was going to look. Instead, we only get medium textures, disabled AA, low quality shadows, and low quality lighting and shaders. It all boils down to not giving us what we were promised by every official screenshot and video, and the slow responses from the developers. And before someone says "The devs talked about this in beta, that there's a problem with the high-res textures". For those of us who weren't in the closed beta, how are we supposed to have known that? Also, can someone point to this post, or comment? It makes it REALLY difficult to find the devs comment on this, without any search features on these forums. And quite honestly, I wouldn't trust the word of any forum member here if my life depended on it. Too many trolls, too many people that don't know what they are talking about, and too many people who refuse to read the majority of a thread, so they don't end up posting useless information that has been known for nearly a month. So when a forum member says " Well the devs said this back in beta!!!" I fully disregard their statement, unless they have a link to the devs comment/s. I personally am not going to unsubscribe due to this issue. But it is worrying that they removed the medium option in PTS, and made high the current medium. I believe they will eventually get the high-res textures working eventually. But I fully understand the frustration of many people who are angry because they quite simply are not getting what was advertised to them. So I'm just gonna sit back, watch some movies while I play the game, and wait for an official response ( Dual monitors for the win! ) OH, BTW. For people having heat issues, Go download "Dxtory" or another similar program. It allows you to lock the frame-rate of pretty much anything to any framerate you want. So you can lock the game at 60, or 30FPS without having to use Vsync, which can cause input lag, and reduced performance. Honestly, this feature should have been included in the game, since Vsync won't work when in fullscreen windowed mode ( Which I am using, since I have two monitors ). So Dxtory currently drops my GPU usage by around 40%, as many parts of the game are no longer being rendered at 100+ FPS.
