ivanhedgehog Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 snp Its not in their benefit yet there it is, so it boils down to was bw so incompetent that they missed it )which brings a whole lot of issues with it) or was it done after the fact in the hopes that most would have read it yesterday and move on while the ones that read it today would be a much smaller number. Even discovering it later would cause a lesser reaction. At this point bw can just not say anything (like what is happening now) and just hope it dies down. I think it boils down to arrogance. whomever is in charge had an idea and that idea simply must be the greatest thing since peanut butter. How dare the players not love his awesome idea!!!!

ivanhedgehog Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well, they also said that about the CSM but we know how that ended moral of the story: Bioware lies..a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare the players not love his awesome idea!!!! That covers a lot of it. And it won't change until that person gets fired (which will be announced as "has decided to move on to new oportunities") which will probably be too late considering the current population levels.

Hichitsuki-hime Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Ops are already a huge credit sink. They reward way less credits than the repair bills it takes to actually learn them and complete one. Now the CXP is cut somewhere around 50% (possible more in some like EV with lots of Champions). There is no reason to run them. You don't get gear. You can't get gear to get back into HM progression, so what's the point? well, they will only be a credit sink if your group is incompetent. :D:D SM are bolstered and dumbed to the point where people could do them not wearing gear at all other than empty cartel market armor shells. HM and NiM, yes with gear on 220-224 ilvl it might actually be challenging and cause you to wipe. but really. that's certainly not hte biggest credit sink ever. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayshuba Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Unfortunately, I see SWTOR heading that way again because Ben can't look back at the game's history and see where it went sideways in the past. Ben doesn't need to look back. He has been here since before launch (July 2011). However, it appears he wasn't in decision making role until June 2014. Since then we have been focusing on story and have the CxP system..... things that make you go Hmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
