Ok first of all I realized long ago that Sony is just dragging most of us along till the space expansion comes out. Those who do not aggree are just kidding themselves. The truth is they can let our posts and rants and constructive Critism go unheaded because when it comes down to it the Space expansion whenever the heck it comes out will bring alot of new people to the game as well as alot of people that have quit. Face it as individuals we are too inimportant and even collectively Complainning won't change that. But there is something that I feel that can be done to bring about change in a more direct way. Stop selling droids all together. That is something I did right after Probots had the permadeath nerf put on them. Granted my own protest went unheaded and also made alot of people on my server mad at the time. Reason being when I stoppped in protest guess what it was after I made Master DE and I also was the only one on my server for a few weeks. Together I think that we could actually get the attention that we need. If we collectively took a stand. I say stop selling Droids until our issues and/or we are informed if that on what happenned to the big changes to droids they were trying to get us to believe. Of course I realise that people need to pay for harvesters and the like. I say shut them off! People in other proffessions will start posting about our work stoppage before long and then we will have threads in other forums asking for the Devs to fix us so that they can buy our product. I say if they will not improve our product we should REMOVE IT! If you are not desperately in need of credits please stop selling Droids we need to take aggressive action tobring about a change.Heck why tried everything else.

you honestly believe anyone would notice, let alone the devs, if we stopped producing droids?


the only one who MAY notice is BH who havent hit the level they can use infinate seeker charges.

Holo DEs will fill the gap if no one else does. They currently sell thier droids cheap to recoup some loss and with this proposal they'd keep it a few extra days and make a profit then move on while the rest of us starve credit wise even more then we have been.

The really sad thing is, I've only sold 4 nonBH droids since I started this game. And I started at launch to be MastDE. I make my credits in resources. So no-one, and I do mean NO-ONE will care if I never sell another droid or not.

Wow, great idea, give the little business we have to the BEs and grinders. Droids are finally almost at a 1 for 1 ratio with pets in large cities like Coronet, and you'd have us piss all the hard (unfineshed) work we did? If you don't want to sell droids, you souldn't be a DE... I know if I quit selling, one of the six DEs located within 500m of my main shop will gladly pick up the slack, and I bet half of them don't visit the forums to get "great" ides like this one

LOL, Buni, and here I was hoping you'd take the advice and toss a bit more business my way! ;-)

LOL...my resources keep me in the green as well as Chef stuff. My DE is a hobby still. I actually haven't made a droid in 3 weeks now. I prolly ought to make some ProBot again, but I just cant get up the motivation. So basically, I am already doing what you suggest. Its too bad so many people will not do this. I for one think it wouldd be a good way to get some attention.

Jedi will never be a starting profession...Looted items and quest items will never be better then crafted items, this is not a loot based game...CH will return shortly...CH and BE will not be back in game...Rangers are getting their revamp next!...The stealth system will not be changing in the spy expertise...Need any more examples of things the devs said that did not hold true?

I made a lvl 6 med R2 droid and it hasnt sold in weeks. it was only like 15k or somthing. I did sell 1 probot once for 10k but thats about it and a couple creds on BH droids but mostly my cash comes from other peoples vendors I run for them like the Bio-Engineers vendor I run she makes tons of cash and I get a good cut to but without that I would be running missions for an hour a day and with a life I dont have time for that.
