Well,
If you don't know solo groups are in for a huge nerf coming in the next week or so.
This means your customers will no longer be able to do missions for 30k or so a pop.
Max estimated mission earnings per mission will average around 6k for combat elites.
This is a 80% drop in your customers income.
How will you or will you adjust your prices to reflect this or will you wait untill new armorsmiths
begin producingarmor for 80% less. Just a question.

I don't think it will be that bad. My combat toon can still pull 20k-25k missions solo, and at that level they have less mobs spawning at them (2 or 3 instead of 5) so really it will just be a change from runing solo groups for cash to running solo groups for xp and running missions solo for cash.

Where, what mobs... and was this before or after they re-enabled mob specials. Best I can get with a
MBH/MCarbineer Pistoleer build are the mercinary missions on Lok at 13k a pop out of a town with an enhanced job market. These missions take about 10 minutes to complete due to the high frequency of 10k damage head shots from the mobs kds, intimidates etc...

Actualy i'm surprised they allowed 36k a pop solo missions to go on as long as they did. Ive been around since last year, and in those days there was a whole series of mission payout nerfs. You used to be able to draw as high as a 40k mission all by yourself at one point. When the having to group to get the mission payhigh thing occured people went banannas, till they figured out how to solo group of course.
What this does not do is kill the solo group. There will be plenty of solo groups going to get xp. What this does do is make it so that people out there to get money will not group at all. They are just going to go do baz or picket or lok missions all by themselves. So in essence they have succeded only in killing the solo money group.

The destruction of the middle class (which is what this nerf will bring) will kill 50% of armorsmiths business. Casual Players simply wont have the money to pay for uber armor any more.Everypatch, I feel like i got something I did not want and lost something I did. Having the cheese slapped out of your mouth is not fun.Time Sinks and Money sinks DO NOT = Content.
Devs, pls
DO NO HARM
FIX WHAT IS ALREADY BROKE

At least buy and READ something on economics before you start playing with the economy. PJ O rourke has a good laymans book on economics that I can send you all a link to if you like, just PM me

Wowzers! So they finally nerfed the solo group. I guess, eventually, armor prices (along with everything else in the galaxy) will drop substancially if the customer base isn't as rich as it was before. Ultimately, it doesn't change the game, it only means the economy will be vastly 'cheaper' than it was.
So much for, "What? 100k for hunting chestplate? Bah, that's only 4 solos..."
Somehow, ppl will find away around it, they always do..
