Ok I understand making pearls rare, I understand making them high end loot, but this still doesn't stop the overpriced, countless millions we have to spend for these pearls in order to get decent sabers.

The "rare" pearls are simply ones which dropped from very high level creatures. What changed was that combat upgrade altered the levels of creatures. So where a pearl might before have been considered "premium" because it dropped from a level 287 creature, now it isn't considered premium because the creature dropping the pearl isn't level 287 any more.
The possible stats that a pearl can give you are the same, regardless of the pearl quality. The only advantage a "premium" pearl gives you is a better chance of getting higher stats. "Fixing pearls" would be a matter of changing the level ranges for different quality pearls. This would be a retroactive change which would suddenly change all the pearls in the game to be high-level pearls, increasing the power of Jedi globally and almost instantly - Unless we simultaneously lowered the advantage of premium pearls so that they don't give as much an increase to the odds of getting higher stats as they do now.
We would rather keep the premium pearls as they are - highly desirable and much better (in terms of the odds of getting higher stats) than normal pearls, but not drop them as casually as they dropped in the past. These should be rare, elite quest rewards and very high-end, elite-monster drops - not things that players "farm" from creatures that are no match for the player.

Yeah, I mean back in pre 9 days I had to spend 20 mill on pearls when 20 mill meant somthing I WANT THAT MONEY BACK... IN FACT.... I want back all the pearls I lost to crit fails in sabers so add 10 prems to that please.
ALSO, I want back the chance to have my old saber back too, I dont like this one. I want the game to be fair and give me back all the stuff I had that decayed or lost in some sort of fashion.
My old pearls Decayed... I want them back too... If these new guys can have a Pearl last forever , after I lost at least 6 or 7 to decay then I want those back too.
/get it?

Okay Iskareot,
Love ya man, but that's just over the top and elitist. Okay, tell ya what, you can have back all of the above if Prems drops as "casually" (I believe was Tigg's quote?) as they did in the past. If not, then be happy that you have your Prems AND ALSO you ADKs. Hmm.. Kinda the best of both worlds, eh? Your Saber out damages ANY of it's contemporaries with very very few exceptions, due to Pearls that dropped like candy. Hell I wouldn't mind crit fails "poof" if I knew I could just go out and get another like it were a snicker bar from a fat kid. Your dialogue and responses to newer Jedi concerns are opposite of what they should be. Instead of taking the position of a tenured, veteran jedi and leading our newer brethren, you are constantly squashing any argument any of the newer Jedi make by some out-dated, overplayed "I make Jedi pre-9 so I'm better, stronger, faster and should remain that way" stance. Like I said, love ya man, but this is some tough love bro. The newer jedi need people like yourself to bring them along, not make them feel like sh!t because they didn't make Jedi before pre-9.

Thank you for the support. All we are asking for is a chance to be jedi. Most of us didnt even know the game existed, or had too crappy of a computer to play SWG back in pub 9. We respect the grind that you had to make back then, just give us advice and encouragement for the grind that we face, not sarcasm and insults as to how easy we have it. Eacj grind has it's bonus' and nerfs.
Thanks for your support.
