Is anyone else sick and tired of no resources being available? This is a big issue that I am starting to grow weary of. I really dislike that to find half way decent Tollium Reactive Gas (OQ 900+) on my galaxy (Sunrunner), you have to look for stacks that are about a year old!!! Plus I have to compete with Combat Medics for this quality item. This is getting down-right frustrating! I haven't found anyone with this resource or someone who is willing to sell it. There are a lot of specific named resources that spawn in and out infrequently. It would be great if every named resource spawned at LEAST once a month. Maybe even twice a month. Why should we wait months just so we can craft half-way decent items.

I honestly thing there is something going on with Gas spawns.In recent weeks, I've seen several servers complain of zero (except possibly the new gas JTL added) gas spawns on any planet.

Yea, we have been one of those. No gas at all in fact. Well unless something just spawned.

Been a while since I've checked resource spawns since I don't have any harvesters, so I haven't noticed anything. If you guys think there's something screwed up with the resource spawns compile a list of all the resources currently spawned on your server (give a use for those survey droids) and I'll make sure things get seen.

Well, the only reason I mention it is because this happened on TestCenter a couple weeks ago and they had to get QA to push a couple buttons if I remember right.
Right now, I'm fairly certain StarStrider is running with just the one Unstable Organometallic Reactive Gas on Tatooine (been like this the past3-4 days). However, I'd like to hear more from other servers before I start calling foul. Then again, maybe it's just a fluke and we'll see more come tomarrow.

Sunrunner has been on one selection of gas for the last four weeks or so. It was one type for a couple weeks then switch to another. It is really stagnant.

Spawns on Flurry have been down across the board for a few weeks now, but gas does seem to be the worst. Ofinauburc Inert Gas is the only spawn of gas there is at the moment.
I track spawns carefully and daily, as I prefer to harvest as much of my own resources as possible. For the past few weeks, metals and minerals have been half of what they used to be. Chemical is down considerably as well.
Not sure if it means anything, but one player mentioned to me that SOE had reduced the spawns from 50 to 37. No idea what he meant by that or what those numbers might mean, but it sure is a lot lower!

Corbantis has one active reactive gas spawn. havent watched it like a hawk but perportionately there does seem to be a lack of gas in ratio to other spawns (on a strange side note tons of radio spawns...)

For Scylla, we have tons and tons of irons, but everything else is down. Gas is the worst, for a bit we olny had the space gas, we just now got another. That's 2 gases over all the planets.
I did bug it. This did happen once before and they had to fix something.

The DEV team is aware of the Iron spawn issue.
It would appear that other resource types are being negatively effected by the Iron spawnsbeing too high. Hopefully, all resource spawns will see a bit of tweaking in the next few months, with all of the improvements that we will be seeing to non-Combat Professions.

Spawns are downright screwed-up. Not only are gases often non-existent, but those that do spawn are junk...and it's not just gas either. When is the last time we had a decent steel? Right now on Corellia-Chilastra there isn't even any Steel. It rather sucks to have a profession with specific resource requirements that seem to spawn about twice a year. I've only been a DE for about 2 months and frankly have been stunted in my progress for lack of resources.

There was a thread about this on swgcraft. Here
It kinda explains what some people are seeing, durring these shortages.

i did a long look on swg craft to compare galaxies, looks like 3 gas's total is the average some have 1 some have 5 but 3 is average....this is really low when there are over 5 named gas's needed by the crafting population. Gas was never the heavy on its spawn rate but with the depression in non-iron spawns gas seems to be taking the worst hit. The only resources that seem to be spawning at normal rates are radio and ore, both of which show a nice mix of types and frequency.
