An interesting point on the subject of doing dailies to fund any activiity...
I tend to see it like this, there are 3 types of end game content (broadly).
Group PVE (FP,s Ops), PVP and Solo PVE (dailies). Each one of those types of content should earn you enough money to support continuing that content, not necassarily allow you to get rich off that content alone, but to at least cover the cost of repairs, consumables that sort of thing.
I think this change may now have stopped the ability for group pve to provide enough credits to pay for doing group pve. Some people enjoy dailies, I myself do them every so often and enjoy them. But no one should be forced to grind them to fund playing a part of the game that they enjoy.
Thats like having a job to support doing something I enjoy, I already have one of those, it's called my JOB.
