The machine has been bludgeoned to non-functional by a nerf bat. BW needs to do better. I agree with nerfing it as it was detrimental to the economy. Now, it is not even worth playing. 150 tokens, not one piece of jawa anything, no certificates, no mount....
I would suggest increasing the cartel certificate drop rate and throw in the golden certificates while adding some more items to that pool. At least make it worth playing.
