Back when Conquest was 50k I printed out marking sheets to ensure I could get 10 characters through conquest every week.
When it got nerfed to 100k and made a lot harder I only did conquest on like 3 chars.
When they removed the conquest decorations from the rewards of conquest I kept doing conquest on 1-2 chars because its a convenient bonus in addition to the 200k galactic seasons objective.
Now its no longer convenient and theres honestly not really a reason to keep doing it. All the rewards from it are easier to get elsewhere. For techfrags running OPs, for conquest comendations running H2s and for Credits litteraly anything else (the 25k dont even cover your repair bill). Well there are flagship plans but they dont have any use for me, just for my guild.
I doubt anyone from BS is going to come here and explain why. It does feel a lot like the all too familiar game of how much can you nerf a system before its no longer used. I feel sorry for smaller guilds, since those will be effected the most.
I've read in this thread this was rebalancing - I can asure you this stealth nerf had nothing to do with balance. Nothing was changed except those 45k. Its simply another thumbscrew to ensure the grind. 100k conquest points are:
-On 6 planets: 75 kills and 1 heroic
-8 story missions so about a planet
-about 5 FPs, starfortresses or Daily Areas
-2 to 3 operations
-3vet uprising
-a lot of PvP
If you want to reach the 200k for galactic seasons on one server you can. If you want to farm those 100k on multiple characters or are doing galactic seasons on multiple servers you better not have a life cuz youre going to need to grind. A lot. Considering the reward this comes very close to outright wasting your time.
Im hoping they roll this back or at least dont make any more terrible decisions of this level. The camel is already loaded with the promised combat update that never came, the reduced droprates in FPs, the invisible walls and exhaustion zones, the ridiculous prices for paint in the cartelmarket, the worthless armor and now this crap and Im not keen to find out how much straw is yet to be added.
