Heh, whats funny is Lilika was my response to all the combatants getting entertainer alts, and buff bots. I got myself a combatant alt to grind the money they wouldn't give me. And since the new patch, contrary to what many believe, still lets grouped creatures add to group level bonus, as a CH and borrowing a friended probot, lilika can still manage to hit the magical number of level 60 missions on dantooine as the ONLY player in the group, and she can still pull in the full 30k mission payouts that all these combatants are losing. I couldn't be happier with this patch

If you were unable to differentiate between your own missions and other peoples missions when in a group solo groups would never have started up. They were created by the devs because of an oversight and should have neverexisted.

Don't say this too loud we will see a return to everyone and their brother having CH in their template.

People have 2 options here. Since the CH reballance you need master to be able to call high enough pets to hit the magic number, thats 106 skill points you have to spend to get these missions. Thats a whole lot of SP that could be spent on a stacker template. So now you either have to ruin your uber PvP template to make money, or you have to pay them another $15/mo for the privelage of having a money grinding alt (like I do 
). They pretty much win either way, since less stacker templates is less people bitching about others being so hard to kill.

As a former master CH I know the skill points it takes 
but you don't need master if you have a combat droid and two mid-level pets you can still hit some very nice paying missions. But the CU is supposed to balance the combat professions, including CH,and remove stacking so I see CH going up again in the future anyway.

Ok, I have to say you are entirely incorrect. The players created solo-groups and the associated phenomenon, not the devs. And there always has been a way to differentiate between your missions and the other group members missions. Your missions are an orange arrow and the group's closest mission is in yellow. Perhaps you have a video card problem? Both of your statements are in extreme error.

Ok we can't be keeping that rumor alive anymore. They didn't make changes to the group xp, just the payouts. Read the clicky again, it mentions nothing about changing group xp, just the credits. XP is already calculated according to the damage you do and not the size of the group you are in or the level of the mission.

I think if you re-read what was written you will see - that you are in agreement, sort of
The point being made was - there should be ONE waypoint..the closest group mission. If in a group - the missions should be Group missons. Then people would be unable to go to their own missions

Rumor or fact is irrelevant it's the attitude of the people posting. They want more solo value not less, a very sad state of affairs.
