The exploiters in the gravestone instance have created 3 instances on each faction on Star Forge, lol I guess that is where they get the most orders so they are torturing that server to death with 80 or more accounts.

Not simply "60 people" think of it as 60 exploiters non stop resetting the instance through an exploit and doing an exploit that lags the entire instance 24/7.

There is some exploit in the gravestone that was never fixed. There are always like 60 accounts online in there on each server, most of which never leave that instance. There are so many exploiters these days that they sometimes create multiple instance of the gravestone which should never happen. Here are some links where people can't even compete content because of lag caused by the exploiters. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=942192 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=942152 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=942120

Isn't there some exploit in the gravestone that was never fixed? There are always like 60 accounts online in there on each server, most of which never leave that instance.

I guess we will find out soon enough if this is intentional or not. One point i was trying to make is that even if these huge price differences are intentional, they don't make much sense. It really makes it pointless to gather gifts through crewskills to sell on the auction house when there is such a low price ceiling because of the vendor.

I bet their metrics show that no one is buying the 250k rank 6 gifts when they can pay 30k for three rank 5 gifts and get the same influence with just a little more time spent. If this is a bug / typo, i bet they say nothing until after they fix it on the next patch day, otherwise people will buy them for 5k and 10k and store them ahead of the fix.

They can buy 8 times more influence through rank 5 gifts for the same price. It's a mistake for those rank 5 blue and purple gifts to be that cheap at only 5k and 10k each. Why would anyone buy those rank 6 gifts for 250k when the rank 5 are so cheap?

well they need to adjust something. They put the rank 6 on the vendor for 250k and the rank 5 on the vendor for 10k and it takes three of these 10k gifts to match one 250k gift. Makes no sense at all. Last i checked 30k is not anywhere near 250k. The developers really need to allow more people to test the changes before they go live.

Why don't we let people automatically get to level 50 influence upon login, wouldn't that be even easier? This 5k and 10k price for rank 5 gifts is an obvious mistake. If they want to keep it this way they may as well delete all gift missions from all crewskills.

You should not base anything on the conversion rates, that was just in place to give people something for their effort and give them time to use them in advance before 5.0. Prices should be based on what the market was plus multiply it by 2 or 3 so that the market isn't destroyed and for future inflation.

Whatever they intended, the current prices don't make sense. If a purple rank 6 gift is worth 250k and if it takes three rank 5 purples to equal it in value yet it that only costs 30k on the vendor for three of them then this is not even in the same ballpark. If we divide the 250k cost of a purple rank 6 gift by 3, we get the price of 83,333 is around the price it should be for a purple rank 5. If they were to do this then people would only buy the purple rank 6 and not the purple rank 5 since it is less clicks to use the purple rank 6. This all leads me to believe this is a typo and the prices for rank 5 purple and blue gifts are supposed to be 100k for purple rank 5 and 50k for blue rank 5. The current prices of 10k and 5k have to be a mistake.

The crewskill gift market has been ruined because of a typo, rank 5 blue and purple should be 50k and 100k, not 5k and 10k. How can rank 6 purple gifts be 250k and rank 5 gifts be so cheap? Obviously a major mistake. If this is intentional then you may as well just delete all crewskill missions which give gifts as it's just a waste of time. Before this update rank 5 purples sold for 15k to 65k and rank 5 blues sold for 5k to 30k on the GTN.

They are taking the servers down today so hopefully they will fix some issues today.
