Does anyone know why this was started? I thought at first it was to cut down on people grinding xp for FS, but that doesnt make sense. the geonosian lab is spawning and has a crazy spawn rate at that, anyone looking to grind can just go there. Noone who goes to a reb base and waits an hour at a time to kill a few npc is trying to max their xp. also subsequently, anyone who actually has to go work in the morning has no chance of finding any nightsisters in their cave or some nice aukuaans to pick on. I just can't figure the reason for it.

they think they are fixing the economy by making the loot items that these caves drop rare. when in fact they are inflating the economy.

my problem isnt the economy lol! its the fact I've done all the quest and they wont let me do them again. now with the dungeons always empty it is so boring. I can only run rancor missions so many hours a day guys! give me something else to do

don't get me wrong. I love the game, still play everyday, but after I'm on for a bit I realize there is nothing to do and think how nice it would be if they gave us a new quest or let us redo some of the old ones.
I'm not talking about something new like the vette or deathwatch bunker. endless dying and a 450k suit of armor ruined isnt my idea of fun.
I like a challenging fight to be sure, its a rush standing in the middle of a pack of nightsisters with a friend at my side trying to keep us alive. 20 superbattledroids are not fun for a tkm.
will they ever add new content to the game?
do they consider this game a finished product now with nothing new to ever be added again?

I disagree and would like to take sides with Milton Friedman and the Monetarists on this one.
"If the money supply is constant (mission payouts), increases in the cost of a good or service (due to rarer spawns)will decrease the money available for other goods and services, and therefore the price of some those goods will fall and offset the rise in price of those goods whose prices have increased. "
"They believe that that increases in the cost of goods and services do not lead to inflation without the government and its Central Bank cooperating in increasing the money supply." If anything, we are seeing inflation in this game due to Dantooine Solo Groups, which havelead to a rapid increase in the Money Supply and an increase in the velocity of money. Image someone pulling 500k every 1 hour during the first few months in this game, it did not happen. Making a mil now is a joke.
BTW, I due agree that mkaing once a day spawns takes away from the fun of a lot of people, especially those who can not play close to server restart hours.

To punish people who have to work for a living?

thats probably why I am asking. I was off today because of Hurricane Ivan. I got up and put all the stuff I had sitting in my house outside, cleaned up some limbs and drove around a bit looking for an open store for some smokes. got on about 10 EST and all the dungeons were empty already lol. that's how i spent my 2 hours online, looking for a virgin cave

I loved the Tusken Fort last night with HUNDREDS of people taking Viktor's quest only to find that the Executioner spawns once a day. Thanks for the experience SOE!

my guess is, the critters heard about the Village and the grinding, put two and two together and said "F- that, we're outta here."

i got in this arguement with my roomate... after going to the warren and there not being anything in there....
i don't think the warren is necessarily aflicted by the same problem. but it's generally the same.
and the crux of the problem is the conflict between campers and squatters and people just looking to play the game.
i think if there's a quest element to the area you're in. whatever area should be locked to people not doing that quest... i mean, fort tusken make a cave branch that has one of the quest barriers that doesn't let you pass. something like that. night sister caves... make a level devoted to people attempting the quest/challenge of empting it.
i dunno. the answer isn't add more spawns. that would only make it worse...
i'd say though, the answer shouldn't have been 1 a day spawns though. i mean even 4hrs would've been reasonable. i dunno.
this game really shows it's lack of decent design in areas like this

Jaczon, I understand your frustration at this. Most of us here do, also. But, until it is fixed, there is only one place for you to go to in order to find a real CHALLENGE. That's right, a real challenge. Go to the DWB. So far as I can tell, no one, on ANY server, has made a complete set of mando armor. Why don't you go and try to become the first?
