FragRockKnuckles Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Would it be possible to change the individual conquest reward and remove the 25k credit gain with 2 Exotic Isotope Stabilizer instead? I'm finding there is a lack of availability of these and costly on the GTN where around 4 are equivalent to 1 Strategic Resource Matrix. Thanks
FragRockKnuckles Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) So I posted this less than a month ago and now a Exotic Isotope Stabilizer is selling almost at the equivalent of Strategic Resource Matrix. This is frankly KILLING the ability to craft items for ALL crew skills. WAKE UP AND PUT THEM AS REWARDS FOR CONQUEST OR CREW SKILLS FOR 65 ITEMS WILL BE DEAD!

Shironui Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 This just seems like a bad idea; Exotic Isotope Stabilizer is BEYOND easy to get, they drop on every boss in SM ops, can be purchased for a few glowing data crystals, and on Harbinger atleast they only sell around 40-50K on a good day, closer to 25-30 on a bad one. Far from un-obtainable.
well Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 This just seems like a bad idea; Exotic Isotope Stabilizer is BEYOND easy to get, they drop on every boss in SM ops, can be purchased for a few glowing data crystals, and on Harbinger atleast they only sell around 40-50K on a good day, closer to 25-30 on a bad one. Far from un-obtainable. So 25 crystals is a few? I guess that is Core math:eek:

Far from un-obtainable. On Prophecy of Five the cost is a joke and for several days the quantity available has been abysmal to the point of not being able to craft items. If you need 25 crystals for 1 Exotic Isotope Stabilizer then you need 250 glowing data crystals to craft 1 Exarch item and 200 for 1 Defiant item (which should be changed to 150 at the most). I have monitored prices of Exotic Isotope Stabilizer since launch and I have never seen it go below 60k. Current price is 99k. Total quantity on the GTN = 35. Strategic Resource Matrix are at 390k, quantity 23. Giving 2 Exotic Isotope Stabilizer's with Conquest Rewards would do absolutely no harm at all!
cyrusramsey Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) +1 Sure, if you want one, it's pretty easy to get, but when you're trying to gather hundreds to craft with, it becomes an immense pain. I play lots of HM FPs, I play ops.. I can count on one hand how many rolls on them I've won this month. Crafters are having to compete with people who want to sell them. I end up getting most from blue crystals, except now I'm forced to either take several characters through the new story or to buy many unlocks to transport Odessen and hope they don't prevent that too at some point. And I don't think citing prices on harbinger is going to be reflective of prices on any server other than harbinger. On my main server they will sometimes (rarely) go down to 40k/50k, but try to buy any serious amount and you're quickly into 70/80/90/100k a piece, and the prices don't actually drop back to 40/50k if you keep buying them up... I can't believe that anyone who says they're sufficiently easy to get has actually needed to use them on a consistent basis. Edited December 20, 2015 by cyrusramsey

It could simply be that people on your server aren't selling theirs. That's one of the downsides to playing on a dead server. I personally have like 6 stacks of them on my main alone, haven't even bothered to check most of my other characters. These things are absurdly easy to get.
FragRockKnuckles Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 They are now 249k EACH on the GTN. All my crafting is at a stop
Shwarzchild Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Anytime you're playing the gtn as your primary source of mats it means you're doing it wrong if cost is a concern. Run the heroics buy the isotopes from the vender and continue crafting. This game spits out crystals like water. Use them appropriately. Or require your customer to provide mats for you to use.

Warrgames Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I disagree. I want my 25k credit chip. I shouldn't lose my rewards since you want to play on a dead server.
FragRockKnuckles Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I thought world markets were bad but Exotic Isotope Stabilizer's are now selling at 500,000 each on the GTN! Please merge this server with something ASAP! Even with a farm animal would be an improvement. We should not be forced to transfer to a non PvP server to improve the quality and enjoyment of the game. Period! Edited January 5, 2016 by FragRockKnuckles
