I asked this same question in 6 other topics and it keeps getting avoided.

I have 5 old Droid Repair Kits. and get this..... they dont WORK... Everytime we put it in the schematic it says "this item is too damaged to use" But, when I insured it... then died it was at 99%. I have already /bug'd it... and reported it to a CSR and guess what?? this was the answer:


"we're sorry that you payed 2 mil for something that doesnt work, we cant refund your money, give you a new one, give you the DE toolkit, nothing.... But if you'd like you can submit yet another ticket online, or contact [email protected] if that isn't good enough. If this was enough information or whatever you can close this ticket... or add on to this one."


Now I am soooooo pissed about this..... no one will help me, this is a bug and they dont want to admit it?? I cant get a new one, no ingame contact from a Dev/CSR.... nothing!! this is rediculas. I pay for 3 accounts on this game and I want some support damnit all!!


But of course TH, Pex, no one will ever read this... I cant call SoE cuz there is no 1 to talk to that can fix this. Cant do chat cuz they cant help.... There is no hope, its broke... I lost 2 mil on something that will never be replaced. but atleast I can post in here and tell you all that its broke so no one else will make the same mistake that I did.






hmm... well... I have a few old repair kits that I "was" gonna put up for sale...

However, after reading this, I just... can't... do it.


Isimply REFUSE tobe the cause of someone else's pain and frustration.

I would like to see two things changed...


#1 Make it an apron. I can wear my architect apron and my backpack, why can't I do this with my droidsmith toolkit? I have an insane amount of resources...two full houses, a my bank is full, and my factories act as storage space too. The fact that I have to take off my backpack to use the toolkit is nuts. I happened to have an old droid repair kit from way back in the day. I hated using it because the droid repair kit was a "symbol" I had to show how long I've been a droid engineer. I've had my toolkit for about a week not and have yet to put it on...because I can't.


#2Don't require the old droid repair kit. Change it to one of the new ones. Change it to a protocol chassis....change it to a BLL....I really care what you change it to, just change it to something that is in the game. I tend to be a packrat, so I was lucky enough to have 1 droid repair kit. Maybe I would have had more if my invenotry wasn't so limited. It is just plain sad that it requires an item that can no longer be made. What is even worse is that the dev who created the schematic probably didn't know the droid repair kit was no longer in the game.

The item needed to make this is in the game. I just bought one of these on Tues. afternoon. Some people have them..they were just smart and held on to them.

Now they are gone (but I don't know if they will ever return)...

Respectfully,










Your answer should have been:


I have talked to Thunderheart and will find out what can be done about this.



Instead we get a "too bad so sad too bad for you"


Huh? Your appeasement to SOE in deference to the community you are supposed to be representing is appalling. I expected more. Between this and the poor answer on General Socket Module Clusters I am starting to lose faith in your abilities to represent us fairly.

I'm starting to think that I am.


I've played since beta 3. I was dead set on being a droid engineer since before the game was released. This is the first time I've startedthinking about dropping droid engineer.

I didn't post this so all could flame TK, HE is only stating the fact that the required part was available in game at one time and there may be one or two lying around per server.


If you want to see this changed,we have to be more political. Lets have TK start a poll that is stickied to the top where we can vote or e-sign a petition to get this moved to the top of the to-fix list and changed. SOE is not going to fix anything if all we ever do is flame them and our correspondent.


Let's Vote on what part we think should be used in place of the Droid Repair Tool and how it should be obtainable.


Possibly the person who created this thought the part was still in game. If we vote to change this to something we can loot,maybe they will consider it. Genosian Power Crystal comes to mind,or possible a Krayt Tissue,or something along those lines.


I think TK can come up with maybe 3 items and make a poll that we can use to vote.

There is no positive spin on this. This droidsmith's tookit is broken and has been broken since the day that it was inserted into the game.


To add a new item toa game in February that requires an item that was removed from the game the previous summer is ridiculous.


If it's an accident, that is fine. fix it.


But to pretend its not broken because some long time players have them is disengenuous.


And pretending they might appear later is pure nonsense. The item that this thing requires is a craftable item, NOT a loot drop. But the schematic for the item does not exist anymore.
