Great games tonight, Blackjack! 2 wins for Covenant Speed (NC, VS) and 1 for Blackjack (HB). Not sure why we didn't get pops with any imp guilds I heard you were Q'd.

I think it's more like 1 win 80 losses vs Ascendency

It seems fairly straight forward to keep armor crafting relevant by making certain pieces of a set craftable-only. So if you want to complete your super duper trooper set, you have to do a certain quest line to get the helm, run a flashpoint to get the boots, get a craftable chest, and so on to complete the set. As long as one piece (or more) per set is only craftable, there would be a market for that piece. And then of course certain pieces and patterns could only be attainable from Ops as well. So some sets would be impossible to complete fully without doing end game content.

I just got the 560 TI and it is simply fantastic at 1920x1080. I run with everything on high/max and it is smooth as can be. Note that I have a new PC with core i7 processor. The combination of GPU/processor is simply awesome. The machine came with a cheap ATI GPU that suuuuuuucked.
