Bioware, I'd like to get an understanding on how you determined that the Empire should be able to get purple crystals like candy while there are none on the republic side (unless we get an ultra-rare drop heroic eternity vault)? In all the books and movies, purple crystals were extremely rare natural forming and mainly used by the Jedi (though few and far between). The Sith used Sith Alchemy to create artifiical cystals stronger than that of a normal force crystal, and those were almost always red. So why is it that Imperials can run a day's worth of battlegrounds, grab a pvp weapon, and pull the purple crystal from it yet the Jedi can't get one? This leaves me puzzled. Would like an explanation.
