LoganCarney Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Hey All! I was thinking that we should start a petition for the developers to add Cartel Point's as a reward option for finished quests, and or random drops from bosses. If interested, copy this email, and add your name. Cartel Coin's As Quest Rewards! LoganCarney [Delete this and add your name] Edited March 27, 2013 by LoganCarney
longshanks Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Cartel coins will be given as rewards through the new achievment system
LoganCarney Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Please refrain from posting anything other than your positive vote along with your name. I am talking about something completely different than you. Logan
Spongeyform Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Logan that was very rude. The other poster was merely stating that they are being brought in as part of the achievement system in 2.0. They will not give them as quest rewards as well as they will lose far too much money doing it that way.
LoganCarney Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 I was not rude. I simply stated that this is a petition to have what I described implemented. If it sounded rude then I apologize. Logan
Bloodpuddle Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Absolutely makes better sense than enslaving us subs to a 50 Planetary comms cap, and then offering sucky rewards and (yay?) PLANETARY COMMS (which are pointless once we reach the comms cap). I second this, but want to add that once you hit the cap, rewards automatically switch off planetary comms and switch on Cartel Points until Tuesday reset.
Spongeyform Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Don't get me wrong I can completely understand this petition, and yes i will 3rd it. I just doubt it will be implemented. If it was Biowares choice it probably would be, but this is EA we are talking about, calling the shots.

While I agree that Logan didn't respond nicely, I'd like to point out that it's a virtual currency. They only lose money when another exodus occurs. They can't add it to a savings account, or spend it on a trip to Italy.

The Cartel Market is one of their biggest earners now - If they start throwing out Cartel Coins as quest rewards, people are going to be less inclined to spend real money on them. It's not hard to roll a new character to earn these quest rewards after all.
LoganCarney Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 So can we start over? LoganCarney [Your name here]
Weaksauce Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Or you can get credits from quest rewards and boss kills that are usable to purchase cartel goods on the secondary market. This is not the most well thought out petition, but good luck!

It's not hard to roll a new character to earn these quest rewards after all. I'm talking about this being an option ONLY for subbed players, and I was thinking like when you kill a boss or finish a chain then you get the option to choose Cartel Point's instead of gear or planetary commendations. I am thinking 1-5 Cartel Points. It would keep people subbed, and it would also be an incentive for new players to sub. Logan

Idejon Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I would like to point put that petition threads are (or were) prohibited. With the new leniency of the community managers this may not be true. I think this thread would be better utilized as a discussion of the current implementation as cartel coins as a reward for the achievement system. To me I interpret this as what the OP is asking for as they are granted for a combination of things: from completing class missions to gaining valor and social points. There is a complete list on dulfy's site and I believe the total as available on the PTS was 860 per server given out in increments of 20. To the OP: is this not what you are asking for? There isn't an option for drops but I don't believe that anyone would find 5 coins at the dropped at the same rate as a speeder useful and if there was a significant drop rate it would devalue the currency and cause an increase of costs on the market. The current introduction of currency to the game is controlled by Bioware as opposed to random drops and maintains the integrity of the cartel coin system, which has a distinct monetary value to many people. Please don't respond with a petition but rather your thoughts on the pros or cons of cartel coins through the achievement system.
LoganCarney Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 OMG what does your brain interpret as an opinion poll? Just forget it. Feel free to delete this thread. Logan
