Thread: Need some help Why be a DE anymore???
The deal is that the whole thing is just too large. It's not like they can please literally every player out there in one shot (regardless of profession, playstyle or preference).
I'm sure they will continue to hear the cries (and have already been getting info on the issues....in spades). Once the next few nutty weeks pass, I suspect things might calm down some.
In the meantime, it's possible we all might see new droid buyers in our shops.
Well...............................................a Wookiee can hope, 'eh?

Keep your Combat Droid prices highand don't sell your goodstoo cheaply. Droids are tough in this Brave New World, certainly more useful than Pets right now. Pet healing rates are awesome, after an Incapacitation Recovery they can be fully healed in under a minute.
Price wise see if you can push 80k-100k for a good Advanced Probot. More if you can build an excellent one. Most importantly, there's still no repeat business so keep those prices high!
Droid combat levels match the highest in the group regardless of their own, so if the toughest in the group is lower than combat level 18 don't bother grouping. If the highest in the group is over 18 invite that Droid to join you!
Tanking doesn't quite work like it used to, Mobs go after the character dishing out the most damage, so concentrate on Combat Rating rather than health to make them useful in drawing away attacks from lower level characters.
This would all be great if our Droid HAMs were not cut in half of what they used to be and droid armor still worked. I purposely didn't make a ton of droids before the CU, because the CU ones were suppossed to be better, then the CU comes and they are half as good.
I don't know how it is on your server, but on Sunrunner there has been an explosion of BH's. On Wednesday I had over 100 crates of seekers and about 80 crates of arakyds, Ihave started more GP and Mem modules to restock my vendors, as I am getting close to being sold out. I know at least 1 other DE that quit the profession, leaving alot more for the remaining DE's to do. Plus another DE that never plays anymore. BH missions (non-jedi) have increased in payouts by about 50%. So the reason to stay DE, is to make a killing on BH droids. Due to a decrease in suppy and an increase in demand, I'm going to raise my prices slightly.

I'm convinced that they care, but about the wrong things. SOE Execs and upper management are a little out of touch, I would think. I don't think they have a clue about what their customers really want.
They will continue to hear the cries, because there are cries for all the things broke in this game. Things that have been broke for months, but go unfixed.
I would prefer fixes for things that have been broke for months vs an upgrade/expansion that introduces more bugs. I won't quit because of the CU, but this broke A$$ game will drive me away.

Same thing happened on my server. I sold over 100 Seekers and Arakyds in two days! A big time DE just left as well meaning more business. I may raise the prices by a few K since it looks like i will be eating and breathnig BH droids for a while to come.
