Decidion Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Yep, they reduced the heroics payout reward for lvl 65s from 18K to 7K. THAT certainly wasn't in the patch notes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xina_LA Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 So those of us actually willing to do work to earn credits get punished, while the people buying farmed credits are enjoying the lowest prices ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeyska Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 This along with the increase prices on the newest CC pack, they're just asking for negative feedback. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xordevoreaux Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 It certainly does increase the likelihood that people will consider buying the farmed credits. The 15.3 and 18.5K payouts for level 65 heroics was a great discentive to buy farmed credits because it was easy to make money without putting one's banking and credit information at risk with a gold seller.

Feels like it combined with the "event" that brings no new content into the game at all. I think this is the worst CU ever in SWTOR's short history.

Floplag Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 WTseriousF? really? What possible reason would they have for doing this. The economy is completely out of control and they kill earnings? Art imitates life to the extreme... pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightSaberAddiCt Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 But what is the payout for full group bonus? Because I just do them in full group, so the 18k quest payout wasnt that big of deal. Will have to try a run on tatooine to compare. Usually pull around 750k with a group, it will be interesting to see what the new totall is.

IanArgent Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 That's disappointing; especially such a wide swing. I'm not terribly surprised, all things considered, but halving payout? Even if that was the goal, maybe do it over a longer period of time instead of yanking around the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlavivsAetivs Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Although this isn't how I farmed credits (thankfully), this is only going to make the in-game economy far worse... even I think the inflation on the GTN is nuts already, and I use the GTN to make money. ~ Eudoxia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rantank Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Probably to encourage us to do the new event rather than the heroics. They do seem to be falling over themselves to make some pretty awful decisions. Maybe EA needed a new tax loss ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only the select super rare items that are running at high prices, and that is sellers playing on buyers cravings and inability to not spend if the price is high. Many many items, both CM and non CM, that used to sell at X are now selling at x/5 or worse. In other words.. the market does not appear inflated per se.. it appears to be market driven. The only solution to high prices on super rare and highly desirable items would be for the studio to simply make the items bronze and silver drop and make them less user appealing as well. Then the market would be in serious disinflation.. and credits sit in peoples wallets unused forever. Note: my comment has nothing to do with the reduction in credits on the Heroics for level 65s. The question on that is.. did they nerf them all the way up and down the leveling curve, or just at level cap? And if so.. yes.. we deserve an answer as to why.
