But the change doesnt actually make it give any less credits, it just takes much longer to get anything, which in turn makes the items worth insane amounts of credits on the GTN. The change does nothing but hurt everyone involved. It hurts the farmer because it becomes more boring and you see less loot, and it hurts the people who are trying to buy the pieces from the GTN because now they cost 10x as much because they take 10x as long to collect.
I would obviously rather not spend my time doing it, that is why the change is making me angry, since they made it infinitely harder for no apparent reason.
I just came back to the game not too long ago after being away for a very long time.
I used to farm old mobs in a certain place because they would drop unique looking orange gear that could sell for a lot of the GTN.
Now they aren't dropping anywhere near as much as before, to the point of it being almost completely useless to farm. Instead of dropping the orange gear they are dropping stronghold items that are pretty worthless.
I can't imagine its intended as it pretty much removes a bunch of unique modeled items from the game.
At first I didn't believe the problem was as bad as people said.
My beliefs completely changed after the game I just got out of.
Full 55 pvp geared level 59 sniper literally two-shotting people. It was probably the least fun I have ever had, and I don't even see how it could be fun for them either since there is almost no challenge or skill involved in it.
They have like 40-50% more damage and 25% more health. Don't really think its fair or even intended. Maybe just a patch to make that gear/level specifically not as powerful?
The most frustrating thing in this game for me is how awkward moving my character is. The camera has very little customization and jumping and moving and turning seems laggy and optimized.
Got super bored after 2 games. The controls are awful, the reticule spins around and there is no visible way to change the sensitivity.
The worst part is knowing that they took time away from making the actual game better to make this. Its awesome that they made a pretty much lag free but boring Space PVP game, but why didn't they spend that time working on the actual Lag and Balance of the actual game...? Blows my mind.
Remember, nothing says you are better at PvP than 4v1'ing people!
Oh, also, when a group of 4 comes to fight you, you should probably run as fast as possible. We wouldn't want a fair fight screwing up your massive K/D ratio now, would we?
I don't think they will bring the gold back, the last time they said it was only available during that event. You can pick up a full set for like 2.5 mil on the AH, which is only a week or so of making money.
Just imagine if there was Cross Server. The Ranked Warzone Scene would explode... sigh, we can dream.
Also, why are healthpacks/stims/grenades usable in PvP at all? Kind of off-topic, but pisses me off.
