Hi
I have read here that an item with the new veteran reward Anti-Decay Kit can be deleted to retrieve the kit. Is that a bug thats gonna get fixed? or is it meant to be, please quote DEV when answering that im not interested in opinions, only facts!
If its a feature, will it stay forever?

Ment to be, a dev posted about it in the questions area about the rewards.

Yes, because you only get one per account lifetime. Would be a waste else...

Can anyone post a link to the thread that contains this info from the devs? I would like to make sure before I use this on anything.

cut and copied from a previous thread about the same thing:
no you guys are taking this out of context, no developer has said they are nerfing the kits. They have said this:
Also, you can delete the lightsaber and use the anti-decay kit on a new lightsaber as many times as you want. This is true for any item that can be used with an anti-decay kit. So basically, you aren't screwed if you use the anti-decay kit on one item and then two days later get something much cooler that you'd rather use it on. You do have to make the decision to delete the item currently attached to anti-decay kit before using the kit on the new item though.
and here's the link: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=jedi&message.id=714752#M714752
some players (ws and as) are speculating (hoping) that they will nerf the kits because they think it will ruin their business if everyone has undecayable stuff, but they are overlooking the fact that not everyone (maybe 5%) has enough kits to insure a full set of armor and weapons. I only know a small handfull of ppl that have a set of non-decayed stuff, and it came at the cost of numerous ppl being left with no kits. But anyways, I repeat again..no DEV has posted anything about nerfing the kits..it's all speculation and rumor, and I seriously doubt they ever would since this was meant to be a reward for the players who have been paying ..err playing for a year or more, not to be an indian-gift (pardon the expression)to make everyone who used one mad. Have a little faith in SOE, the recent patches have been grade A.The link you posted is to the originall announcement to the fact that they had fixed the kits to work with lightsabers, and nowhere does it say that the ability to re-use the kits is temporary.
also for those that don't know yet, yes using an anti-decay kit in a lightsaber makes the crystals inside it not decay either, and yes you can take the crystals out and put different ones in and they to will be insured, and when your ready to use the next gen. of lightsaber you simply take the crystals out, destroy the saber, get the kit back, and use it on your next saber. I'm currently grinding with my Aqua crystal and a 50dmg/-8fc crystal Thx so much devs...best patch ever!
*yes theres typos in here..and yes I am too tired to care...took an hour of grinding time away to write this lol

to recap:
1. the anti decay kits can be used on weapons, armor, psg's, clothes, anything insurable (but not jetpacks, backpacks or meroj mellons)
2. When you destroy the item you get the kit back (so you can use them in ur uber exceptional weapons to kill kreetles or in your crappy curved sword to grind with, and then into your grind ing powerhammer until you get an exceptional one)
3. the kits are tradeable, and more than 1 can be used by the same person
4. they can be used in lightsabers which will make the crystals/pearls inside not decay and you can interchange the crystals
5. you will get the reward when you hit the 1-year mark, you didn't miss out if you haven't been playing 1 year yet, and new ppl are hitting 1-year each day so these kits will not become extinct just because ppl are buying them and using them up
6. It will not put crafters out of business, it should in fact make them strive to make better weapons so ppl will destroy th ones they have now to get back their kits and buy the better weapons to use
7. It will not make powerups non-decayable, you will still need to insert powerups, and DoT's will still lose charges when used
8. No DEV has posted ANYTHING about nerfing the kits ability to be reused..it's all speculation, nor have they said it's only temporary
9. I would suggest a full suit of 90% base sliced stun armor with 4 sockets for those good attachments, sliced stun psg and exceptional weapon..=uberness
10. these things are just yummy
