Anyone have Newcomer+ REP with I.C.E.?

[TwoKDragon]

I desperately want the Trophy Hunter’s Mask and have no means in getting 3-4 million credits like those on the GTN want. If anyone has the means to get it, it costs 20k credits and I can pay double that!

 

If I'm posting this in the wrong place, please let me know, this is my first time posting anything!

I have this recollection of rep vendor items being either bind-on-pickup or bind-to-legacy. (My new SW had to be mailed the money and cartel certs so she could buy the Thana Vesh armour, because it's BoP...)

Also, you may find that even if they are not bound at all, you can't equip them because you don't have enough rep.

 

Noteworthy: the ones available on the GTN are probably the Cartel Market / Cartel Pack versions, and they are NOT bound (except during a 36 hour timer for the first person to acquire them) until you equip them.

 

That's certainly true for the Thana Vesh set - it exists in a BoP version from the rep vendor and a BoE (Bind on Equip) version from some pack or other.

So, basically my only chance is paying the millions of garbage these people want for them? Forget that then, hell, yesterday they were at 3-4 million, today I saw them at 14 million...

Or watch for the oild packs with the ICE rep tokens in and build your own rep. Newcomer is pretty easy if you can get the tokens.

 

But that'll be expensive, too.

 

That said, credits aren't super hard to get - find a group that's doing heroics - apparently the credits from that are a bit crazy, especially for the bonus missions.

So you want a vanity item that looks really really good, but don't wanna pay much for it. Why does that not add up somehow?

The benefits for using a referral link are quite good.

The benefits that we get for you posting your link like that is a legitimate reason to use the "Report Post" button. Did you not read the Terms of Service that you agreed to when you signed up for the forums? Making posts just to promote your link is not allowed, and including your link in otherwise "OK" posts is also not allowed, unless you put it in your Forum Signature.

 

So thanks for letting me use the Report Post button.

 

Oh, and don't forget to mention *your* benefit when someone clicks your link...

You did?

You did?

A kind of vague skim, a bit. But I don't make "use my referral link" posts, either.

Some of us have legal restrictions concerning our work.

 

I was playing STO when they started the player content creation feature. Would have loved to have done that but there's a "All Work Created" clause in their agreement that may or may not include work created outside of the game that I couldn't legally agree to. And yes I pointed it out to them but that was back when they answered support tickets with discussions about sexual acts.

I'm curious as to the relationship between this response and my post to which the other poster was responding.

 

And I remember when a former employer (former relative to now - I had, at the time of the incident, just given notice to quit, but was still their employee) decided to finally have formal paper employment contracts. Samples were circulated, and much interest was taken in two parts:

* A strict interpretation suggested that it required the employee to commit a criminal offence by not keeping records concerning his employment, not even his old pay slips (required by the Inland Revenue)

* The Intellectual Property clauses attempted to claim *everything* the employee produced while he was an employee. Not "everything produced in relation to the job". Stuff not related to the job could be negotiated for, but you couldn't just automatically assume that whatever it was would be OK. Just "everything".

 

Had I been staying instead of quitting, I would have been tempted to write a pornographic novel ('Two Shades Of Cynical", perhaps - this was 1999, so it wouldn't have been hopelessly derivative yet) and then attempt the negotiations to be allowed to have it published in my own name. (One of the top top managers who would have had to be involved in such negotiations was intensely religious, and prone to promoting Alpha courses on internal company forums. I would have loved to be able to see his reaction to the material.)
