I have been playing this game for over a year now and I used to love it immensly. I just like being insid the StarWars Universe even though this game more resembles the Movie SpaceBalls then it does StarWars.
I keep posting stuff like this and my threads always get deleted without warning or reason.
The nerfing of POI's to once-per-day spawns is not a bug but is a marketing ploy to get you to buy Jump To Lightspeed.
Sony is not a dedicated Game Developer. Game Develpoers such as: Sierra, Valve, ID, EA, and Blizzard simply want to make great video games and earn profits because they make great video games. Sony makes video games just to make profits and simply make a game good enough to sell that will make them money. They want to sell products at high prices to consumers at the lowest cost possible. This clearly shows with this game.
It's funny how only certain POI's got nerfed. I'm sure people behind the scenes had to fight to keep ALL POI's from getting nerfed to once per day spawns.
This is really unfair and it doesn't make sense. Sony really needs to cut som pink slips because their dumbass marketing team and suits are losing them a lot of money. This game could be the greatest ever but with decisions such as these being made every day it will quickly go downhill.
They want this game to fail shortly after JTL and then they will push us on EQ2 very hard. Such as offer us all free 1 month trial accounts for being a "valued" Sony Subscriber.
The nerfing of POI's was done on purpose to get us bored with the ground game to push us to buy Jump to Lightspeed.
I really think that Sony has got some loose screws if they think that by taking things away from the game it will make them more money. It just doesn't make any sense no matter what their industy analysis reports say.

I would have to agree that it sounds more like a bug than anything. It is rather annoying though since I am already at work during server up when they spawn. I think if it was intensional they would make them spawn once randomly throughout the day instead of all at server up.

I sent a message to Tiggs a couple of days ago asking her to comment in one of the POI issue threads. She read it, but I have not seen a dev comment as of yet. Can you point me to the message in the test center forums where the devs stated they are considering this a bug?
Thank you in advance.

If it were a bug it would have already been announced that a fix is in the works. It's not a bug it's by design.

I sure hope it's just a bug. Truthfully I have a hard time believing SOe would want to screw with their customers so much...
