I used to sell 15-25 crates of seeker a week when this bug started. Now it's around 2-3 a week.
I guess that the devs see this now as a feature, not a bug...

BriaArtisan,


If you can get me verification/confirmation on this, I should be able to elevate it.

I'll check with the BH Corr. to see if they have heard anything on this as well.

Respectfully,

My BH droid sales have almost stopped completely, and I was a good provider of the droids too. Now its a little trickle of arakyd droids salesand hardly ever sell a seeker.. oh I wonder why!

TK, the bug, at least how it worked before Publish 7, doesn't show itself until Investigation 3. That's the first tree of BH, soa 2/x/x/xBH wouldn't have experienced this yet.

Ooops. You'd think I'd know that (but I don't 'do' BH droids much...thanks).

I'm trying to reach the BH Corr (Tanks) but I think he's out of town right now.



If anyone can help to verify this problem, it would help big time.

Respectfully,

I don't know how many inv3+ bounty hunters are going to post publicly about this since manyconsider it an exploit, but go hang out in Kaadara near the BH terms and ask a few of them about it. I had one master BH laugh that he'd used the same charge on the same seeker more than 300 times. Seekers were too cheap to be worth the resources they cost anyway, for the most part, so maybe that's why more people aren't yelling about this (based on price the brandy analogy isn't entirely accurate). But I can certainlysee how it would be a major problem to a non-Master DE though, who's trying to make a few credits on his/her way upour blueprintstree.

I wondered why I was only selling arakyds on my vendor. My BH alt never bought that many arakyds but mostly seekers, the trend I see now with BH droid sales seems more clear now.

TK, my best friend just hit MBH last nite. The bug still exists after publish 7. The last charge never expires.

This bug has existed for ages, I have even discussed it with a living breathing customer rep while I was on the phone with SOE, it was just one of those days that I was so fed up with /bugged BH missions I could not see straight. Now some other BH out there is probably gonna flame me, but oh well, my alt happens to be an MDE, but I rarely let him out of his cage to post here. SOE is FULLY aware of this bug, I got it from the proverbial horse's mouth, this bug has existed from day one of live, if not since beta. In the big picture, seekers and arakyds now that they actually do work for BH's to track jedi, should be a DE's biggest money maker, since as a BH I love to hunt, and therefore would burn up a LOT of seekers and arakyds, and this would of course send me to my favorite DE. As it is my DE makes seekers into "Security Cameras" for placement as furniture in houses. Not very profitable, I have to admit. If I remember correctly the bug first appeared to me personally at the onset of Investigation III, I could be wrong, it's been a while. This is where we first get the option to "Find and Track", instead of just "Find" on the radial menu on Seekers, before we launch them to hopefully get us to our target.
