Thread: Health Crystals
and while they are at it.....force all players to use only CDEF weapons from this point on. That wass everything is fair and equal. And no armor.....I may not be able to use assault and that is unfair.....and no more Stim Ds....I cannot afford them.......ummm.... and only speeder bikes cause I dont have a swoop and mine is not as fast as theirs.....no more BE clothing either....cause I cant compete with someone that has sockets......and bonuses.... and no more rifles...I like the pistol and think it is unfair that other players can shoot me from 65 meters when I only have 35......wait!.....no more ranged...it is unfair to the melee.... Jedi???delete them totally...all but mine anyway....lol.......ummmm...ohhhh...and no more personal colors on clothing....to many people are 'different'......and while you are at it with the nerf gun.....please make all players level one....as a new toon may feel uncomfortable with more powerful players around him......oh, and from now on....everyones name should now by John Smith, so as not to make someone feel left out because the name they wanted was already taken......
GROW THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE A BUNCH OF BOTTLEFED BABIES!!!!
I do like to re-read this thread occasionally, just to pick through the chaotic discussion 
I want you all to do me a favour. Think about your server. Think about who holds the most powerful items, who has the best of everything. Each server has one. The guy thathas a stock of about 5-10 ADK's at any one time. He has sackfuls of 950 damage Krayt Scatters, and 1100 damage Laser Rifles. The guy that has a pyramid of Premium Pearls in his guildhall just because it looks nice.Every single auction for rare items like Jetpacks and NS Bracers, he is able to "BO, please deliver to my vendor".
For farstar, that guy is theoriginal posterof this thread.
He doesn't need to worry about how many health buff crystals he owns, he could spend 2 months buying out every single one on the trade forums, and still not break into a sweat.
As per usual, the respondents to this thread are automatically assuming that he's a simpleton who doesn't know how to PVP or how the game works, and so just wants everything nerfed for selfish reasons. Heaven forbid he should express his opinion because it might actually be good for the entire game!!
I have 2 of these health crystals myself, one for each character. But the thought of a handful of characters having sackfuls of them for a permanent 5k health bar would be unbalancing for PVP on my server.
did anyone force another player to sell him the crystals?.....no....FREE WILL.......and you know what......if he is that rich....he probably worked like hell to be that rich.....by nerfing everything you are saying that ALL the time that I invest into this game is for nothing. I work this game to advance. Each one of you has the same freedom I do. Only deference is I choose to WORK for the things I have....you choose to be lazy and expect everything to be handed to you. Life doesnt work like that....and niether does this GAME.
Its time to bring back an old saying..... "if you dont work....u dont eat...."

There is nothing unbalanced about an item every single player in the game has a chance to receive as a reward and use. Is it a powerful item? Absolutely. Is it unbalanced? No, because everyone can obtain and use it. When everyone has an equal opportunity, that is the very definition of balance.
That could be said about DOT weapons, yet they were balanced out by removing.

No, that could not be truthfully said about DOT weapons or any other random and raredrop. Random and rare drops are exactly that, random and rare. Because of the rarity, not everyone has a good chance of getting one. The crystal is a known reward, for a specific quest, which isn't even a particularly hard one. All any player needs to do is complete the well documented steps to becoming FS, then wait for the appropriate village phase (the schedule of which is well documented), and complete the required quest - also well documented. There is no documented step by step procedure to aquiring any random and rare loot drop... once again, because they are random and rare.
