One thing people need to remember is that theres maybe 200 mandalorians left around the galaxy if even that many, and there mostly Death Watch. Jango and Boba were the last of the origional Supercommandos, but Alpha02 should be out gathering up new commandos at this point. At this point in strwars history theres about as many mandos as their are jedi
Atleast they are keeping THIS part right.
No, HERE is what people need to understand: According to the MOVIES, JEDI are what is rare. Thats based on Yoda's comments in ROTJ to Luke: "After I am gone, the last of the Jedi will you be." Obviously he didnt mean the last EVER, but the last AT THAT TIME. And though ROTJ is after this game's time period, it means IF there are any Jedi in the time of ANH, they have to be insanely few to be all gone except for Luke by only a few years later when Yoda says this. Thats from the movie, thats canon. HOWEVER, NOWHERE in the movies does it say Boba was the last/had the last suit of Mandalorian armor. Its not even suggested anywhere. All that is EU, and some people accept EU, but others dont. GL himself said, regarding the EU: "The movies are gospel, everything else is gossip".
So, in regards to CANON, there isnt even a SUGGESTION that Mandalorian armor is rare, except for the fact that Boba is the only one we SEE with it at this time period. However, just because he is the only one we SEE means NOTHING, as Chewie is the only WOOKIE we see in the classic trilogy as well, but that doesnt mean all the wookies on kashyyyk are dead. We only see 1 yt-1300 also, but that doesnt mean its the only one in the galaxy. So, if you want to use EU to justify to YOURSELF why there isnt any Mando in the game, thats fine, but dont try to force it on other people on proof, because its not proof, its merely some writer's opinion on the matter, but not GL's or the movies.

I have mando armor, click on the character name in my sig. Would I like to complete my set? Hell yeah! This kind of "its to hard!" reasoning is what got us so many Jedi in the first place. Lets keep atleast ONE THING PURE in this game. Yeah, the DWB is to hard at this point and I agree it needs to be fixed so a group of 8 NON JEDI can get in there and be successful. Nothing you can say to me will justify that we need 100000000 mandalorians just like we dont need 100000000000 jedi. I'm sure if marketing thought Mandalorian armor was as big a pull to the masses as being a Jedi is, then they would make it more accessable to everyone.
havent seen you post in awhile on here Everitt, good to see you anyhow.
That wasnt "its too hard!" reasoning. I'm not doing that anymore, I'm completely satisfied w/ my character as is(see first link in sig). All that was, was the truth, as far as the movies go. It really had nothing to do with the game. As far as the movies go, theres nothing suggesting Mando is rare. As far as the EU goes, well, you have GLs word as to how much what other writers say about his story matters.

To the Jango Fett Look alike... we are happy that you are satisified with your character but that may be the reason the devs may not want to allow mando to be so easy to acquire. You have so many characters out there with no imagination. The game would turn out to be the Boba/Jango Fett look alikes vs the Super value meal Jedi in bathrobes. I say let the Mando stay the way it is... get rid of the jedi.
SOE Galaxies version of the Jedi Purge...
If you want my opinion the Dev's should start having Vader as a NPC kill off jedi for good one by one. The Devsshould track some stat (this will be unkown to us)like if you end up killing over200 factioned npc or50 factioned PVP(that have atleast mastered one elite profession)as a jedi. You start to attract the attention of the Emperor. At some random point an imperial shuttle lands and you areup against a mobof the Emperors handpicked Stormtroopers and if you get thru them Vader and/or the Emperor's Hand comes out of the shuttle. You battle him and he always kills you. When he does kill you that jedi character is gone forever. You end up reverting back to the character you were before you went to jedi status and are unable to get a force slot on the that server for a period of time or never...
Any thoughts on this

Gosh. After I ask for no complaints please I just get more. I don't want complaining about jedi, they worked hard, the vader killing you would mean nobody would play jedi, because it's a waste of your time, therefore with no jedi, no more really fun marks for us bh's. You people who don't want jedi haven't thought about this have you? Either that or you were pwned by a jedi on a hunt. I also want mando armor to be hard to get, but not insanely. I want it so that once every week or two you see a guy in mando, and you go, hey I just saw him a week ago, cool! That's how jedi kinda works now. It's not so much they're plentiful, you are just seeing the same jedi looking for a hunting group over and over again. Also, the main point I am trying to make here is mandolorian armor should be ANTI-DECAY and VERY POWERFUL because if you spend all that time getting it, you don't want it so that it eventually decays away one day.
I like the innocent nature of your post. I dont hate Jedi, I just think there are way to many. In the begining of the game we were told that Jedi would be very very very rare, and that around 6-10 sets of mando armor was it per server. Ofcourse Manda armor was never released when the game was...that was just a lie. I challange a Dev to tell me how you were supposed to get it before the Death Watch Bunker was ever put in the game.
Anyhow, Mando armor has remained rare...which is the only thing told to us thus far that has lived up to what was told. I do think the DWB needs to be brought back down to an acceptable level where an 8 man elite group without jedi should be able to navigate through with maximum difficuly but not one-shot killed in the third room.

Still, people are chargin like 40 mill for one piece of mandalorian armor, which is rediculous. If you were to buy the components needed to craft one and hire the people you would need to do the quest, it would only come down to a little over 10 mill for one piece. So a full suit would be around 80-90 mill. Which still is alot of money.

10 mil a piece lol. Try about 80 mil per piece. The price of 2 of those componets is insanely rare Those being the binary liquid and protective coatings at least on Bria go for around 30 to 50 mil each plus the cost of the Alum Mineral if you pay for it and the cost of the BH armor part. My guild on Bria has a full suit (all 9 parts includeing the belt) that is ADK'd we ball parked what the suit is roughly worth at about 1 billion credits. A suit of this armor is really priceless in the grand scheme of things and it should be.
