Feel free to correct me if you think I am wrong..but everyone complained whenthey switched the resource requirments to OQ/UT instead of OQ/SR, I can understand that for those of you that had large resource pools to draw from..but they won't last forever (well, maybe for some of you it will lol)..and it seems like high UT spawns alot more then SR does.

I think they were actually trying to help us out here, and they are probably laughing at us now

Like I said, I could be wrong, but just looking at recent spawns of stuff, especially the hides...hopefully stuff with high OQ/SR will come around in my lifetime haha.. Oh..and i'm on Kette, so maybe its not soo bad on the other servers...

comments? opinnions?

Corbantis has had several recent spawns with very nice stats across the recource board.

As a matter of fact, Talus ATM has awesome scaley hide.

Only problem is that Talus is borked beyond belief. Explorer terms are busted and mission terms don't give any bug missions.

On top of that the spawns on Talus are very few and very far between.

Experienced hunters / Master Rangers can't find squat.

We just had nice leathery on kette...

Well... I´m on Kett as well and the lok leather (Bekir) that ended a few days ago was the third best ever lokian for advanced cores (sr 977. ut.... 64)

And the best ever dant wooly for battle cores, Twocred, thatspawned a couple of months ago had sr 915 ut 291

So I think you´re wrong, sry

Yes, some resources like alantium carbonate ore will always have higher UT but seriously, there weren't a lot of AS who kept crafting after CU and I bet many of those who did stay, myself included, would have quit if the UT requirement was kept. Keeping SR has allowed me to actually make large factory runs of armor for mass market, whereas with UT I would have just scraped together enough resources to make myself several sets of armor then respec to a combat profession.

On top of that, I'm hitting cap on all armor types with a large stockpile of high SR resources, so in the end it just doesn't matter and I highly doubt the devs are laughing about it. They are probably laughing, but only about the low caps and the fact that mediocre resources are just as good as high quality resources.

Considering the change the made to how stats are counted on capped res it doesn't matter much what stats they choose, all stats can reach equaly good values. If stat A is capped at 1000 and stat B at 500 and a res with 500 in stat B spawn it will be equaly good as one with 1000 in stat A.

Only thing that really matters are the lower end cap. If this is close to the max cap it's more likely that you get good spawns.
