Fully agree with this. Although most of the friendlier guilds won't have any problem running guildies who are willing to learn through SM EC/TFB, the BH coms that were awarded to the group prior to 1.4 gave more experienced players an actual incentive to run SM. It was a win-win situation for both experienced and fresh raiders alike, the elimination of BH coms from these operations just furthers the divide between the veterans and the new comers. P.S. - We have still not received any announcement from Bioware as to why NiM KP no longer awards coms, way to draw people away from yet another operation.

Why are we still left in the dark as to why NIGHTMARE MODE KP no longer drops coms? You haven't addressed this issue at all.

If these changes were intentional I can understand the lack of BH coms in SM EC, it has been heavily nerfed. However, what I don't understand is why we are losing multiple ways to grind out BH coms while at the same time we are being displayed items to strive for which have 350~ com price tags. NiM KP/EV have not been modified, yet according to several people on the forums they no longer drop coms. Not to be vain but this seems like a giant gimmick to keep subscribers. decrease potential black hole com income increase requirements ???
