SWG totally screwed up game

well now they've gone and done it. the solo group missions that everyone's been doing to make money, well now they have a "set amount" for the size of the group. what that means is when you do a 31000 credit mission, off by yourself, with noone else around, you now get 3000 credits, if you're lucky. what they have done here is make it so "group" fighting isn't necessary. you can get buffed and go to a mission terminal by yourself now and make the 3000 lousy credits you're gonna get paid for doing the same 31000 credit mission in a group! They say its to make the economy fair. well screw swg, i didn't work my butt off to become tkm so they could screw me out of what i worked so hard to get and that is to be self sufficient moneywise. now all tkm's like everyone else will only be able to do missions and nothing else. noone will be able to buy the ores these jerks sell at 30 per ore, or buy mines and power to setup cos we can't afford the maintenance costs to keep them running, lol. SWG IS A BIG JOKE NOW!i figure when enough people leave cos they are bored only doing missions that get you nowhere in game, they will change it back. i for 1 will think 100 times before i buy another screwed up soe game, roflmao. and now noone can afford the 15000 credit buffs cos it'll take 8 hours to get you're money back for the buffs. i drop my pants to you SWG.... so you can kiss my rosy red cheeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do not buy this game, do not play this game and if you're in it now and understand what i'm telling you, i ask you to join me in closing your account so we can send SWG a big message, "change it back or we don't play"! Thanks for joining me in my SWG revolt!

Wow, you are obviously not an economics major, so let me spell it out for you. Guess what happens when no one can afford 15k for a buff? Doctors don't make money because no one buys them. In order to sell them they have to lower the price. It all works out in the end, that's the beauty of economy.
Bloody 'ell! Guess people did like the selfish solobility and having indestructible characters while buffed in SWG afterall....
These players must be like the people who don't go to work in the morning when their car is covered with snow

Sounds to me like that will inprove the game. The economy was getting out of hand. Maybe just maybe they will keep on trying to fix SWG. We can only hope.
hey stupid arses, you think people will lower their prices? YOU'RE BUMPIN YOUR HEAD ROFLMAO!
I hear ya. I quit before they pulled that nerf.
A "player economy" in an MMORPG is still just part of the game. Inflation is not fun, but neither is having no way to win. SOE seems to have real trouble with balancing their precious "player economy" with the fact that it's a game that should be fun.
Make the SWG economy as much as possilbe like the real world economy and there is no point in playing. If you enjoy the real world economy, then why play SWG. Games are a diversion from real life. If SWG is not more fun than real life, no one will pay real dollars for it.
It's a balancing act. Not an easy one, I'm sure. SOE just seems to have lost the perspective needed to keep implementation of good ideals from being much too little fun in practice. I'm sure some will enjoy their implementation, but I think there are many, many more who have lost interest because of it. ...and that's even though they have a very valuable license with a dedicated fan-base.

Shame on you Lucas for allowing such a horrible game to represent your franchise.
Not only was the solo gorup 'nerf' a start on fixing the economy, but when the CURB (Combat) fix comes through you won't be able to go solo Jantas anymore, you will need a group. They are just getting us into that mindset early.
And yes people will lower their prices, it won't happen overnight. In fact inflation will most likely spike as the crafters panic and try to make every last cred they can. But they will come to the realization that if they want to make money they will have to settle for less money than they are used to.
BTW you can still go solo Giant Baz missions on Dath for 12k if you want to continue to ignore the second M in MMORPG
if they want to "fix" the economy they can start by doing set amounts on what people charge. it dont make sense to pay 15k for buffs that takes 8 hours to get the money back or to pay 30 credits for 1 doggone ore. they are total idiots and they are now "FIRED" everyone of them!!!!
yes i guess you are lol
Its really funny....
I like to read what these spoiled players who only played SWG after the crappy buffs and solo groups started post. Its comical because they dont realize that the devs are trying to get the game back to what it was in the beggining.
I played from day 1 of release and I can tell you it was BETTER period. There was no such thing as a solo group there were just groups. Everybody did their jobs and we all made plenty of money and xp. Most of us mastered our professions long before there were any buffs or 80% comp armor. Not only that but wearing a full set of comp was suicide if you didnt know how to use your specials without just spamming them. THe game actually took some skill. There were no uber templates and all professions were decent and fun.
Dont start whining about something until you see what it is. The economy inflated because of solo grouping and buffs now it needs to deflate without them. I can honestly say the only way the people who originally played and loved the game will go back is if the game gets back to its roots
I only hope this is a beginning to that.

Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
only thing that went down is what people are paid, htf does that help the economy? HUH?

I tell ya Pan, its like night and day comparing WoW to SWG. I was reading their forums the other day and there was a flamewar going on over how pointless SWG was. The discussion touched on how there was plenty to do in SWG, but one person pointed out how that didnt matter because it was still pointless. Fishing was mentioned as something added in SWG but really a waste. Of course plenty of fanboys flamed in anger because fishing was "great" in SWG and they loved having fish on display in their house. The posting went on about how they had fishing contests and prizes for the best ones lol.
That right there shows ya the difference. In SWG, you have to create your own pathetic content. In WoW its already there for ya and fishing is far from pointless. Most of my armor I got from fishing. Half my credits are profits from fishing. I heal myself after a battle with the fish that I cooked. Such a relief playing a game where something as simple as fishing can be so beneficial.
Its really sad reading the next pointless publish 11.3 swg is doing. They're adding new loot, or in other words pointless time sink items. Its nothing more than additional wall mounts for display in players already full houses of junk. Players get to spend time collecting broken junk and getting it repaired or turning it into posters, woopie. And the funny part is when someone mentioned how dumb was it that SOE was doing this instead of fixing the gungan sacred place missions (broken since launch), he got massively flamed by fanboys who stated that they LOVED the junk loot, couldnt wait to start collecting it, and didnt care about some dumb old gungans working LOL.
Thats the mentality over there now. At least when I was playing, there were complaints about stuff not getting fixed. Now there are idtiot posts about who has th best fish and excitement over junk loot. It would be different if the game was balanced and all the min quests actually worked and had decent rewards. Then additions like this would be something nice to do in your spare time. Instead of using dev manpower to get the combat revamp done quicker (which i doubt is even getting done), they use those precious man hours adding storage to bookcases and now posters. So sad...
ps. Im on alleria server

I've read about the 'cool new loot' TH was bragging out. Most of it looks like more utter junk.
So sad indeed....

you're exactly right, as i didn't play from the beginning. in fact, i was getting ready to quit when one of my guild mates showed me how to make money. this wasn't 3 months ago, so of course i got upset when they took it away! and thousands are leaving becos others just are not dropping their prices. hopefully SOE is done with games and i do hope this finishes them!
its about about time they started to address the economy issues... now fix the other crap
you should go to the "Stop SOE from ruining SWG" thread"
they will if no one can afford them anymore
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
