Thread: Jetpacks are the only rare thing left in the game
ANYTIME you get something for nothing, or get a lot for very little, it causes inflation.I have definately witnessed inflation in the past 4-5 months.
The mission payouts are still disproportionate to the group dynamic scams (I've heard of ppl getting 4million in an hour). AFK faction farming from 1xp NPCs, space loots being bought by junk dealers for more than they're worth, kashyyyk proton carbines and other ready-looted non-rare premium weapons etc., increased loot and spawn rates on krayt dragons and other used-to-be rare spawns and NPCs, double xp weeks, no maintenence weeks, veteran rewards coming out of our ears, in-game gifts for buying out-of-game packs or expansions (bark speeders and the like), doctor buffs that require no resources at all,and I'm sure there are more....
These ALL contribute to an inflated economy. An SWG credit that is easier to obtain and means, and is worth, less, that is inflation, and it is definately happening.
I play the game because I like crafting and being a part of the player-driven economy. I do not play combat characters. (If I wanted to play shoot-em-up I would have played another game entirely) Recent game developements have underminded the integrity ofthe player driven economypart ofSWG, and have decreased quality of gameplay.
and quite a few people with 'has made x amount of jetpacks' in there sigs and bios x being anything up to 50
they just seem rare as most people will prefer to use a barc or av21 which seem to perform better.
as for the topic most servers are over inflated and have terribal economys i dont think lowering mission payouts is the best way to fix it, i think that they should take a zero off of everyones bank and inventory and item in there vendors however this would cause such an uproar that many would quit

I believe it was meant to be an indirect example.. JP's are mere dreams for alot of people, especially nowaday. 99% of JP's that have been crafted since the curb were built on pre-cu bases. Only a few have been looted since.
JP's most definitly perform better that any terresrial vehicle IMO. A race on Dath would prove that. The reason people pull the others over the JP is two things. Force of habit due to previous ir-replacability issues, and the value.
In my opinion, the jetpack is a junky all-purpose vehicle for one main reason. If something shoots you while you're riding it, you can't take it off, and you can't fight back until you fly away out of combat range.

This I definitly agree on. I havnt used mission payouts for income in a long, long time. High end loot keeps my bank healthy enough.

sure you can, just have to type /dismount just like any other vehicle.
and i'd second them not being that rare anymore. hell our group on kauri crafted 6 last week in a 5 and a half hour period.
