i have noticed the last couple of days that the modifier window is blank now when buying stuff from a recruiter. Master smuggler says it gives a 25% discount. It used to say 30% modifier at this time. I guessed the extra 5% was for merchant. all the prices went up to buy faction items for everyone i know also. a stormtrooper bicep used to cost me 1050, now 1500. and a non smuggler human used to cost 1400 now 2000. what is going on?

Bonus was always 25% (+10% for rebels) and I bought 2 days ago factions points without any problem of price "reduction".

It sounds like the imperial perk reduction is gone for everyone as part of the 'losing side'
Not the master smuggler discount. So you are now paying what rebels are most likely. If yo uwant, post the new costs and we can compare.

BTW, decided to get onto TC-Ahazi and abuse the frogs.
Smuggler discount is working just dandy.

about 4 days ago I bought an atst for under 13k faction. Its normally 18.9k (being alien). The smuggler and bothan discount had to both be in effect for me to get that price.

I spent 5 1/2 hours checking it out on TC-Ahazi last night.
18,000 faction for a rebel forward
10,000 faction for an imperial forward
Now how is that fair?
They get an 8k reduction for losing?

Frog abuse is illegal in many areas, you may want to check regulations and laws in your Area Caylin.

If you lick Toad, you'll be licking every Toad that Toad was with.
(Kudos if you know where that's from)
P.S.
I just think the (costs reduced 25pct due to blah blah blah) message on faction purchase windows is just a bug, I didn't notice my price up at all - even if I paniced at first.
