There is no justifiable reason for this, even before 1.2 augments were not that big of a money maker, 90% of them sold for less than mission costs. So because slicing deals with direct credits and the other gathering professions deal with a material that has to be sold through the market the slicers are evil credit farmers? the QQ'ing by other professions is petty. I say we don't sell a single part or schematic for less than 10M credits across all servers. Outfit our alts and guilds but screw the rest and see how they like it. Casual players can not make the credits in game to afford running missions for a loss so if EA/Bioware want to encourage gold farmers and buying credits...Give them a reason to.

Its a plot, they nerfed the returns because people will complain about us Setting the market price on the augment components, while we lose our wallets trying to get the stuff. Personally it will be a major loss for me because all schematics will be used by alts and Guildies but they will at least help offset the costs. Then again, the sliced parts missions are double the cost and time as the same tier lockbox missions.

First off, the game is brand new and has many bugs and inconsistencies that need worked out. I personally would like BW to fix things like the broken gathering nodes and mail attachment bugs long before they allow add-ons. Let the game breathe a little before you start crying for anything. Now that being said.... No to add-ons, its not based on the "bad ones getting kicked for poor performance or low dps" that most don't like the dps meters, its the fact that people center their whole game on numbers instead of results or what actually happens during a fight. If you must have something let it be personal meters so you can improve yourself. Play your game let others play theirs. Give the developers time to fix more important issues. Take this into consideration, for every add-on they could allow, that's more time during each patch that has to be taken to ensure no exploits, or additional bugs develop for EACH new item they wish to add. Then you see the same names that cried for add-ons crying louder because of longer server down time . If you don't like certain aspects of the game, do your research, submit the proper documentation and let the developers do their jobs, or play something else. You Don't Have to have anything they don't want to give you , its always your option to take your money and spend it on someone else's game. I'll never understand the complaints about how WOW evolved and then the attempts to evolve other games into WOW clones because " I need this and this to play better"....
