Bad assumption.

How do they constantly get everything so wrong.

Personally I don't find it hard to do it 3x a day on my alts. For other people though having to do it every single day is what's difficult. If it was a bunch of weekly quests people would complain less.

I understand that a lot of people use multiple chars to grind tokens. That doesn't actually make it EASIER to gear up multiple chars. That makes it easier to gear up ONE char. Using tokens and transferring the mods doesn't negate the work required to get those tokens. It simply means you aren't wasting time.

There are a lot of people crying: "WAAA YOU ALL JUST WANT EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU ON A PLATE" Yet nobody in this thread has suggested even once that the rewards require less work.

Old mods/armoring/hilts/barrels are not useful on alts. They're all different stats. This is exactly what I mean by a "blind spot". Because you don't do the alt thing you didn't think of this. It's what I suspect is happening with the devs. The rest of your list is basically the same problem. There's all sorts of stuff you're missing because you are not a full time alt freak. There's no valid argument that can say this game lacks basic quality of life features for altoholics. In a game where the biggest selling point is class stories that is a TRAGIC flaw.

The extreme developer blind spot/bias against people with alts is getting pretty obvious here. The list keeps growing instead of shrinking as time goes by. 1) No attempts at all to make gearing multiple toons easier. 2) An utter lack of real bind on legacy gear. 3) Character perks being insanely expensive and not legacy wide. 4) Obvious things like account wide mounts/pets aren't implemented. 5) No account wide valor or social points. 6) Now apparently any minor advantage you could get from multiple alts is something to be discouraged. I don't say you guys are doing this on purpose. You guys probably lack someone with a voice who understands what it's like to have 4 or 5 50's though.

If you wanted to do that you should of had the components tied to several weeklies. You're pretty much forcing everyone to do it every single day this way. Also this game is FULL OF DISADVANTAGES for people with alts. Have to grind gear multiple times. Have to pay for augments on multiple suits. Etc. Etc. Something needs to be an advantage with alts for once.

I just want to say for future reference. Don't ever mix a reputation grind with a time limited event again. Yea yea it's recurring but that doesn't stop anyone from grinding like mad. I think the limited time to get [Event Token X] provides enough urgency to these things. No need to throw a reputation grind on top of it.

We were talking about the components. The bind on pickup is bad.

That's fine he drops enough in SM that you can get 24 on each char without even doing HM.

I think the important point here is that the boss which drops Grey Helix is not a world boss. He is an operation boss and you don't have to join some huge group or wait for him to spawn.

In MMO parlance "Recurring 2 week Event" means every 4 months or so. Nobody cares that they can't get stuff immediately. It's the recurring part that's got everyone worried.

GJ convincing EA that they never have to actually release new content for this game ever again.

You better bring a zerg. http://imgur.com/r9taRjE Some guy tried to interrupt the person at the start of the line. Everyone jumped him.

Good call. Going to start stockpiling tokens on alts.

Ok so I watched a vid of someone killing him. He dropped 4 components at least. If there's any other sources that will work. The question is how you get enough rep when it's capped.

You can't trade them. The components are not account bound. Each character has to accumulate 24 by themselves. If you look at the weekly reputation caps it's probably not even possible if you do that.

That was my point. You can't get it this time around even if you don't skip anything.

Not really relevant. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't put in rewards people couldn't get this time around. There has to be more to this.

Am I missing something with this? We only get 1 per day unless we kill the World Boss. It costs 24 per weapon and there are only 14 days in the event. So you have to do it every single day and kill the World Boss multiple times?

Good luck with that. I'm already seeing multiple groups ganging up on people doing this. I completed the quest solo by grabing orbs and running back to mid capping the pylon without many people bothering me. Basically it's so hard that the human instinct to work together kicked in even on a pvp server.

I just finished it and apparently it doesn't give helix pieces so it's not even really worth doing.

It's not "difficult" it's just dumb. What's going to happen is people being people they'll all agree to not attack each other and just chain cap it.

No this is the pylon charging quest. It's a PvP quest in the middle of the zone. You collect orbs and charge them at the pylon. There's only 1 pylon and everyone is FFA PvPing around it.
