JattaGin Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Dear BW, a few minutes ago you had Senya's lightsaber for 500 CC on the cartel market. I saw it on my commando. In order to buy it, I switched to one of my jedi knights. After the relog, the item was not there anymore. If I search for Senya, only the pike is shown for 3000 CC. Where is the lightsaber?

It's part of their making CM shopping "exciting." It's called flash-buying, an item is placed on the CM for 30 secs for an unbelievably cheap price then yanked off quickly. When you see a deal like that, grab fast as it will be gone in a flash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediKnightGeorge Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Was it supposed to be put up at that price? I saw it too. I was going to buy it on another too. I didn't realize it was going to change prices. It's now 3750 CC. Extremely frustrating. Edited April 3, 2018 by JediKnightGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bug some items have duplicates, one being cheap another the actual price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another thread somewhere about items that are incorrectly priced - I think Senya's lightsaber was one of them. I a friend emailed me about it being such a low price and within less than 5 mins it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediKnightGeorge Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I actually bought it, then returned because I was going to use it on a different toon and didn't want to bother with the bind timer. Talk about missed opportunity lol. I wish they'd at least discount it somewhat after that bug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahana Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I doubt it was ever meant to be this way. Same.. It is a Platinum item and they were hoping to cash in on it. Sorry, not sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshvara Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I bought 5 and left them in the tab, but feel kinda bad...I probably wont keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediKnightGeorge Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Ya I had one in tab then returned it. Lol kinda mad now. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pscyon Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Saw it too, figured it was because it's "just" a lightsaber instead of a pike, then noticed its rarity; Same.. It is a Platinum item and they were hoping to cash in on it. and figured that's probably pretty much the case yes. I bought 5 and left them in the tab, but feel kinda bad...I probably wont keep them.I can take them off your hands for 500 credits each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pscyon Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I noticed the Calculated Mercenary's Armour Set was 1000 coins earlier too, which annoyed me slightly as I paid 1440 for it not all that long ago, but I see that price is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmorrisson Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Senya's Lightsaber for 500 CC - suddenly gone The price was 300cc then removed then re-added with the price increased to 3750cc - which is more than the Pike variant. Furthermore many prices were doubled. For example emotes which were 60cc are now 120cc. Bioware should invest it's "Cartel Market Event" proceeds to a physically located West Coast server. It is a somewhat of a downer whenever I log into my Harbinger-lite (Satele Shan) characters and see it's low population.

JediKnightGeorge Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Yeah, I mean it's all about expectations. If I had only seen it at 3750CC then it wouldn't be annoying. But to see it so cheap and plan to buy it at that price and then have it increase 7X is just frustrating lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quraswren Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Chalk it up to one of many bioware screw ups. It's gone. What I do think is funny is how fast they got on the entire cartel market pricing fiasco. That got looked at and changed real quick and speedy like.

They take good care of their baby! But if you notice how much care even players have for it, you can't find it that funny if you really think on it. Or, maybe you can. I don't know.

Nightblazer Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 LOL, CM related, the only thing they fix on the fly. Pretty much. It's a separate system so changes, adding / removing items can be done without a server restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quraswren Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Yep, it can generate millions of dollars loss within hours LOL Yup. They would have sold millions at the 500 CC price. At 3750 they will likely sell very little in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saved us from ugly armours/speeders. It gives us easy and quick access to orange gear. It added better and more diverse weapon appearances. And most the stuff in it can be had off of the GTN thanks to gambling whales and profiteers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does bother me is how obvious BW makes it that they care more about it than actual gaming experiences and gameplay. It gets instant attention, and gets the most sensible updates. Gameplay and game content take a backseat to the CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
