Yes, that give you an incentive to take all professions and having to make a choice. I would also like to see each class to have a BOP best in slot for each profession so we don't class/profession bias. Dal

I really hope so. I would contrast this for anyone who played WoW from day one and how the game changed after the release of Burning Crusade. This killed the game in my honest opinion because it make guilds highly devalued and made all the hardwork and nights of raiding and wiping to learning the content worth almost nothing as greens I could get in the first BC zone put them to shame. I am not saying we should not have gear progress but you need to make sure you do not alienate your player base who supported you and put the effort in to accomplish the goals you set forth. Dal

Exactly, I don't want this game to be easy-mode. If I am going to be on a treadmill, I want to have a sense of accomplishment for the effort and time I put in. Dal

Come to Infinite Empire. We are outnumbered and we are beating there pants off.

Your logic is sensible but the problem I am seeing is the lack of participation in end game raiding because PvP gear is so easy to get and so useable in raids. If this was changed I could agree with you. One this does and help get people to participate in guild content raiding. Guilds should matter and in this type of game, you need a guild to effectively kill raid bosses. Being in a guild means you have some allegiance to someone other than yourself. Having items like this that are only obtainable through this form of social participation. It helps make guild relevant and I find a guilded player is usually a better player when it comes to working in a team framework and that makes the overall experience to everyone better and that keeps these games fun and sustainable. I want guilds to matter and I see this move and a way that not so.

SUCK IT UP. Not everything needs to be a on silver platter just cause "you" or others like you don't want to raid. I don't care and Bioware should not either unless "they" decide they want too. Just cause you consider yourself a PvPer doesn't mean the game should bend to your will so you can only do what you want. This game should reflect some of the same difficulties in "Life", you have to make choices. Your free to voice your opinion of course.

I leveled Slicing to 400 then *BAM* - nerf hammer. So I dropped it and respecced. When you guys took Biochem and you could see how powerful it was, you should of also of known that it would be brought back into balance so please don't be surprised. This was very powerful just as Slicing was once very powerful.

You can turn off the AOE abilities on all your companions. P.S. There are awesome crafted Techblades for Q. I have great epic mastercraft blade. Dal

Why do you not have any evidence like Fraps of countless 5mins clips of you doing this? I wonder why?

Yes or make friends with a PvE guild and work out a deal.

What is the problem with things being "rare". It called having an economy. I keep reading post after post about complaints about this item or that being to rare. If this stuff was easy then no one would make any money then you would all complain about being broke all the time. Please take some time to actually "think" this things through and pretend your suggestion was put in play and what would happen. I swear everyone needs to be coddled or something is broken in there world. Unless it is a BUG, figure out how either deal with it or make some advantage for yourself. This stuff is what ruins these games with player driven economy. PLEASE DONT RUIN SWTOR....Please I beg you.

FYI - For epic ship armor, its Promethium you need more than Mand Iron. Only the missile launcher need iron. Now Promethium is really the harder one in my opinion because people dont need Quadriuam for much so you are doing T5 missions just for the chance to crit Promethium.

I call BULL, all my T6 missions have a certain about of either Prom or Iron that comes back. Maybe you are running the missions that only give Prom?

Your pricing seems inline and reasonable. People "should" have to spend credit on epics and no they should not be easier to get. If you did that, you would harm many people trading in the markets. You can't think that you can change the drop rate on epic materials in the market and it will not have a ripple effect through the whole economy. Honestly is see it as a good thing that materials are getting harder to come by. The economy is balancing out and all the excessive money is finally spreading out from when Slicing made you wealthy in a few days or did we already forget why prices got driven up so far in the first place? Don't forget your history.

Being that Biochem's get 90 CD with heals then we (cybertechs) should get 90 CD with dmg
