As with me, if only i could post on my main acc.... This wohle thing has killed our profession. Linking this to other boards will spread our strife and general loathing for the CU. Thats the best thing that can happen right now. Although SOE will as always maintain that everything is super and that the players love the mouth full of crap they are being fed everyday. One day i hope to see a developement company come around that uses SOE and SWG as a model of what not to do and stick to it. Hell i think any mmorpg developer that can model itself as the exact opposite of SOE will do better than even WoW.

You should be happy to get a reason to charge more per suit, the smuggler changes which are as far as I know still scheduled as "next" after the curb / rotw release will put an end to slicing randomness, no more need to buy 10 suits to get one roughly at the result ppl want....

Another fact that will reduce your sales drastically: the "best tank" builds (and face it, "tanks" would be those needing most replacement armor anyway) have innate armor and are no longer customers of yours either... Where exactly is the problem with you getting a perfect reason to charge more for single armor suits to at least partial compensate your icome losses due to armorless tanks and removed slicing randomness?

Well the root problems are lying in how the damage is calculated in the CU combat system, the increased resource requirements and increased times.

you miss the point if the armor costs say 500k to make all that extra time and the time to get more resourcesyou seriously think any AS will sell it for 550k? it will more likely be closer 750k to 900k depending on servers and probably more expensive then that depending on how much the resources cost if they are super rare. So you see its not economical for us or for you as a consumer its not all about making cash its about making a viable product that people will want and can afford. I'll rather sell something at my current prices ranging from 200k to 350k then something for 900k and supply 200 consumers rather then selling products for 900k and selling to 60 players.
