I got 3 Makos... Wish we could trade... Also got 6x Vector and 3x Tharan. RNG screwed me big time.

I had bought a dozen of them and got 4x-Mako, 3x-Vector, 3x-Tharan plus 2 other singles (luckily) Not happy with the distribution at all. Having them change to BoE would be great so I can try to trade for the ones I don't have.

Even with alts, this seems to be a monumental task to do. First you have the leveling of Investigation to near 400 on several characters. Good chunk of money there. Then there's the running of all those missions to get 800 units of Ultrachrome. Considering that you don't always get purples, even on rich, that's a ton of missions to run.

So on my server, there is a player who has listed 8 full stacks of Ultrachrome (Grade 6 Researched Compound). That's 792 of an artifact material. He also is using a fair bit of Ultrachrome with a high amount of 49-50 level weapons also listed on the GTN. Now this player may just plat a lot, but that level of that material he has on hand just seems crazy considering the time needed to run missions and cost of those missions at that tier. Does this seem odd to anyone else? If anyone has some math to substantiate all the material, I would love to hear it.

If the quest has a mission item associated with it, usually that quest can't be abandoned. I'm sure they'll fix one day.
