Under the current system I think it's working as intended. It should be a considerable effort to get the best sabers, especially since we jedi don't have that much else to burn money on.
However after the CB, when elders/krayts are unsoloable, it will be a *lot* worse since peoplemost likely won't be able to solo farm these. Then I hope the tuning algorithms are tightened up a bit.
Actually it is not working as intended. True, the system is making the effort to get the best sabers very difficult (don't mind that) BUT the point of this new tuning system was to make crystals and pearls go down in price. The plan was to have crystals/pearls with no stats and random tuning so the prices drop from 4-5 million per to a more reasonable amount.
It failed. All you have to do is look at the trade forums and find crystals/pearls go for 4-5 million....only difference now is you don't know what you aregetting but you're still paying outrageous prices for it. I would take the old method over this new tuning crap anyday......at least I know my 4 million would go to a useable crystal and not something that comes out to0 FC (that was a preme by the way)

Hahaha I like this system.
Our guild farms poor/fair/good crystals all day long from janta/mokks and tunes some amazing numbers from em. Yes, it tkaes more crytsals but hell who cares? Its easier to farm a dozen so called crappy crystals than spend 5 million on a crystal that will more often then not turn in a crummy tune.
I don't have anything against this system. Thats not what this post is about.
Its about crappy tuning - due to a bug un the tuning system...
The CSR says it will be fixed ASAP - so all I can say :
Don't tune crystals/pearls if you think you have a bug, waittil this bug is fixed!

[PM from CSRDanielD] Rare, isolated incidents. I haven't heard of it too frequently.
-Guess there are issues with ths tuning...-

DanielD needs a serious Promotion. Or needs to play the game more. Isolated incidents. Wow he must be right its currently isolated to the Jedi Forums. As long long as it doesnt make its way in game we are ok.
IT'S A TRAP!!!

Hehe ya its kinda funny 
Just a shame the Devs aren't telling people that there actually are bugs conserning the tuning!
That would be such a little thing to do - but still help so many people! Just last week I have tuned premium crystals tocrap - wastedabout30 millions!
- and THX CSR for not wanthing to help me get some of thise crystals back - so I can tune em once thise bugs are gone ( ahh .. why do I keep thinking the CSR will help me - I know it will never happen 
)

Agree - but could be with a little more random, so lower quality had a chance of tuning nice too - but premium should tune like that 90% os the time and flawless all the time!!!

If the tuningsystem working as intended, itscompletely FLAWED, and the devs need to understand that. A working system would be as follows:
Poor: 0 to -2 force costing - 0 to +10 damage
Good: -2 to -4 force costing - +10 to +20 damage
Quality: -4 to -6 force costing - +20 to +30 damage
Select: -6 to -8 force costing - +30 to +40 damage
Premium: -8 to -9 force costing - +40 to +50 damage
Flawless: -9 Force - +50 damage -- No exceptions, if there were one then it simply, would not be "Flawless" now would it?
