I am not sure how many people know this but grenade experimentation enhancment tapes do not work in the game. I was totally unaware of this because I have never been interested in making grenades. But with the recent need to grind out combat xp for FS conversion I started making them for my commando. So I set out on a mission to collect as many grenade experimentation tapes as I could to help me make better grenades. All in all I spent just over a million credits for enough tapes to give me +15 to grenade experimentation. So I go to make my grenades and I get nothing in the way of more exp points???!!. So check the boards to see if anyone else has had this problem and I did find a couple of posts regarding this exact situation and found that they aren't even part of the game. So I write a ticket to CSR about the situation andand ask for confirmation and possible reimbersment (HAH!) and they respond that they have indeed not been part of the game for a long while and (SUPRISE) I can not be reimbersed.
So, I just wanted to warn anyone else out there who is thinking the same thing i was and hope that they will be saved from the laziness of the Devs. Man, it shouldn't be that hard removing those things from the system.

I'm sorry for you
most people are aware of this though, as this is a skill that has been removed from the game back in beta..

. Well no money lol.Why they remove a skill from the game and don´t stop the drops of the according skilltapes?!

yes, grenade crafting use to be a line in the commando skill. However it was replaced with the acid rifle tree, which is actually more useless IMO lol. That's also why the title for a full line in acid rifle use to be "Ordinance Manufacturer" before it was changed to "Heavy Infantry" a few months ago, because they forgot to change the title when they chagned the line.
They really need to remove useless skill mods, and fix it so negative and blank skill tapes no longer drop. Many things like polearm dodge or two handed damage mods are useless since the actual mods don't exist/aren't applied in the game, not to mention multi skilled tapes not applying all skills. Though, don't hold your breath. It will likely be a long time coming until this shows up anywhere near SOE's plate of things to fix unfortunately.

Stuff that affects 90% of the paying customerbase won't be looked at until they dedicate 12 more publishes to making Jedi even more overpowered.

Dont worry, they are planning on reimbursing everyone who lost credits in this game in publish 193.
