Any word on the conversion of resources yet? I seem to keep asking this, and for some reason NEVER get a reply? Am I not a client? Not trying to be pushy..just tryinbg to get my money's worth. And I'm sure this is a common question, so why doesn't someone get off their behind and figure out whats going on?!?
Although I haven't witnessed this first-hand (Flurry hasn't been converted yet), I don't believe there is any plan to convert any resources. The resources you have will be the same resources when the CU hits. They may (or may not) be useful for any crafting that you may (or may not) wish to perform after the CU.

And I forgot to mention that these uncoverted resources may (or may not) have any resale value on the open market. The new value of your unconverted resources will most likely be directly related to the marketability of the products that may (or may not) use them.

Looks like there will be no need for you to post this. The answer is the devs won't tell us s**t and we'll just have to pick up the pieces once we login!

You can ask the question and give the answer as currently undefinded. When it becomes know, then we will post the new answer. For example,
Q: What will our current meds be convert to in the CU?
A: It is not known at this time exactly how meds (or any item) will get converted. All that has been states it that they will be coverted to something useful.
I will then add in the details when we are given the info.
Clearly the devs know we all want to have this question answer, as does anyone with armor or a weapon or anytihng else impacted.
So let me get this straight... I can buff / heal / cure without any meds. IF i do pay a BE to make me schematics to create enhancers, I can buff for maybe 20% instead of 10%.. W-O-W!
My 12 point medical crafting suit -> Now worthless
The 4-5 millions of buffs I had in my vendor -> Barely worth something
THe 10's of millions I've invested in avian meat and other ressources -> Barel worth something
This is insulting to levels I can't imagine. Ok, nerf the buffs. Ok, make it so that the BE are involved in the process but why the heck can Docs do everything with nothing in the inventory... The devs completely rendered the crafting doc profession obsolete... PLUS, in all their wisdom, they gave the schematics to BE's (which is fine) but WHO NEEDS THE FRIGGING SCHEMATICS IF I CAN DO ALMOST THE SAME WITHOUT MEDS!
I had two accounts on Chilastra. One was a dual combat toon, the other one master doc/merchant. I am DELETING both toons, burning my houses and ressources (since they are worthless) and quitting this game. I was expecting a Doc nerf, but why the hell can you do all those things without medication! I mean come on! I am so insulted right now and I didn't have a super big buff store... I can only imagine the Docs that ran big buff businesses... can't imagine how they must feel...
Anyways, great job at driving me away Devs... great job!
While getting rid of meds will be helpful to new players and players without much money, it just doesn't make sense in the context of the Star Wars universe - a more science ficion based universe. Doctors are are not priests or Jedi, Doctors shouldn't be able to just pray and wave their hand and heal their patients. It made SENSE that Doctors in this game would require finely crafted medicines to be able to ply their trade.
In the new system, Doctors = Holy Specced priests, Combat medics = shadow specced priests from WoW.
Pretty soon they'll be turning riflemen into mages and we'll be looting all of our gear.
Now, what shall I do with my 20+ crates of wound packs, disease cures, and rez packs.... hmmm....

(waves hands in the air)...Alla Peanut Butter Sandwiches!!!!!
(Kreetle dies)...whew, that was tough, two more of them suckers and I'd have needed a group!
Ok I have read all the posts. I trying to become a Doc to HEAL not to KILL.
Next to Station Exchange this is the dumbest thing SOE has done.
I think it is just plain stupid not to allow Docs to grt XP in a Med Center.
I know people take advantage of tumbling but why should the whole profession suffer because of those that use Macros to get XP.
If this is not changed I will bid a fond farewell to SOE.
There is an easy fix to the tumbler problem.
No medical XP for healing in a med center that isnt wounds. (Black rot)
The combat classes can all use stims witout us anyway.
Give us Dr XP for healing in the field in combat, and black rot anywhere.
No problem.
The Medic/Doctor
has to got into battle to gain XP.
waves his/her magic wand to do some healing.
can now only craft stim-A and stim-B, so is now going to have to buy enhancers (buffs) from BE.
now BE have most of the MD skills given to them now. (they where given better pet deeds, which made the MCH pets weak and unsellable "NOT having ago at the BE profession, as we have no real choice in what we gain or lose).
well done soe you have not just beennerfing professions from the start of SWG, but now you have/are killing the game.
i no youeither like the CU or you do not, but what do you do if you do not like the CU, stop playing the game which is sad really if you have been playing from release ..
anyways if you like the CU = then good for you have fun...if you do not like the CU = then sorry can not help you ?
NO CAPTAIN, I SEE NO SHIPS JUST HARDSHIPS
