Thread: OMG Highway Robbery. 5k Arakyd, 4k seeker? WT F? DEs are from SATA N!!!
The changes are made so that BH will make some money since we are losing money per mission.
It is not the other way around.
What the hell are these prices? Are you guys crazy?
You guys don't have any sense of decency or ethics.
We, BHs, are already suffering already from a bugfest branch and now you guys are trying to take advantage on a patch that was madefor us to make money.
Sometimes we loose 10k on a mission because it is bug and we can't attack our target.
Who in the world gave you guys the right to EXPLOIT people. Just because we need your droids doesn't mean you guys have the right to exploit us.
These prices are ridiculous. Might as well not have a patch since we aren't going to make money anyway with these kind of prices.
I vote that the devs give CHs someanimal pets that can track. Give you guys some kind of competition so that these prices will drop.
um shut up? you have no right to call all of us bad, review the facts and just ask us for help on pricing.
oh yes it's flamefest boy. Thanks for trolling again. These aren't the droid engineers you're looking for, move along.
oh, and maybe you should ummm... shop around some, it is a free market economy.
I don't know why I keep reading your posts, but I do. I agree, those prices are exorbitant. Seekers I see go for 1K-2K and Arakyds, go for 2.5K-3K. If you go by the same pricing that BH vendors used to sell them at Seekers should go for 2K and 5K is in line with the Arakyds.
Remember they have charges now, an Arakyd should last you 5 missions.
If you still have a problem with the prices you have a couple options. Shop around for a better deal, shouldn't be hard to find a better deal. Get a new profession. Become a DE and feel our pain. Go pester the Devs that your chosen profession is bugged. And please feel free to quit the game and stop bothering us.

No, the changes were made to stop you from whining about your costs

They are the charge for the droids. Since we are still all DEs, yes...we are crazy

decency and ethics don't normally mesh well with business and economics

Yeah...because you are the only ones with problems and losing money?
Sometimes we loose 10k on a mission because it is bug and we can't attack our target.
Sometimes we lose 10k worth of materials because we crit fail on 3 final combines in a row.

The devs gave us the right, and yes...that DOES give us the right to exploit you if we choose (and you have the right to find another DE to make your droids)

And ANYWAY, those prices aren't the norm unless they are for factory crates. And considering that a factory crate of seekers has 50 uses and a crate of probes has 25 uses...Those prices are still a lot cheaper than you paid from the NPC vendor
TAKEDOWN,
Thanks for the laughs again tonight. Please keep posting as we DE's don't have much left to talk about that hasn't been said before. I am not being sarcastic; you have given me two good laughs in the past two days.
As for the droids, yeah, that is too much for individual ones. Someone else on your server is selling them for less, I guarantee it. You should try to find them. As a matter of fact, you should go to YOUR server's forum and post a message that says: "BH looking to contract DE for droids". I bet you get a good response, and you can pick the best offer. See how helpful this is? If you were on Naritus, you would have seen my post on that board saying "DE looking to sell BH droids". It's fun and easy.
One more suggestion for you tonight: If these prices are too high, all you have to do is climb the Engineering branch of Artisan and become a droid engineer yourself. It's easy and you'll like it I think. Craft a few powerups and you'll be on your way, then you can make your own BH droids for a mere fraction of the prices you're paying, AND have the bragging rights of being the first BH/DE out of 275,000 players! That is almost as l337 as your pre-nerf knockdown move! w00t.
