Dustychild Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Just leveled a new BH and went to Voss to get the same speeder I have on my other character. OMG they cost 3 times what they use to. The speeder I went to get use to cost 99k it now cost 300k omg what a rip off. Your guys took a wrecking ball to pvp and now this to pve? No wonder my guild has lost around half its number to unsubs. As a pvp player mostly I never seen the damage you have done to pve till now. Lower rewards and higher cost to players is not a way to keep players happy.

DarthDemens Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The reduced the prices of the speeder licenses to compensate. Overall, you'll spend slightly fewer credits on licenses and speeders than you would have pre-1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavensAgent Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I'm more curious as to how increasing Speeder costs can destroy PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livnthedream Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 im also curious how giving everything away will keep people happy in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP never asks that Speeders be given away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does jacking up speeder prices contribute to long term health, exactly? It's not like speeders have any effect on the combat or economy of endgame or any other part of the game; they're a convenience for players having to travel further and more often. To be honest, I think all speeders need a slight shift up in speed given their pricetags... For their price, they can be quite feeble really.

Baratta Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 It's all about keeping people grinding for credits. I honestly think the devs think this is what will keep subs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
