Actually I love the faction costs right now. They are the *perfect* money sink for our fubar economy. Give players a few more reasons to invest in them and we will always have people wanting faction points.

I have only run into one or two people looking for faction points. I used to keep my identity as smuggler concealed though. Its expensive but it gets the job done.

heh...I made a 700k profit selling a set of ST armor last night...
I think I like the price of FP right where it is...
On the other hand, with the GCW in the morgue, the sales are few and far between. Hopefully, things will pick up after the CU...or sometime between the CU and the GCW revamp...
As it is though, FP sales are really the only thing I'm trying to use my Smuggler skills for at the moment. Slicing, has gone from bad to worse to just being a pain in the ass...I haven't picked up a pistol in months...and I've NEVER crafted spices...
*sigh*...why am I a Smuggler again?

Another smuggler skill that is now pointless, buying faction. With the recent solo group nerf (which is a good thing 
) people just cant afford to spend that much on faction points. We cant even buy faction items and sell them anymore, we would be out of pocket. So please, SOE, give us the chance to use one of our skills
Either that or make "Sell out" work and pay us 1k per faction point hehe

People still buy to gain rank, and to buy bases. It's not totally useless. The pets are, but not the buying and selling of FP.

The reason I say it is useless is the fact that people just cant afford to spend that much on faction anymore. The cost it takes to buy prices it out of most peoples reach now.

i dont have any feelings either way about the group payout changes, it didnt affect me at all, i never had enough skills to take on anything big anyway, even with a buff. i didnt have any armor until recently either.
with that said, everyone is complaining about not having any money. how can this be?
i got a buff today and made about 250-300k in 2-2.5 hours. didnt keep that close of track what we made, but this is close enough.
i was with a guildmate and we were doing missions together, grouped. we could only get 12k missions, but still, thats 24k per run of 4, the same as if i got 2 missions by myself.
the way it is now is what the devs intended, they either didnt code it right or just never thought about how it would get used.
all the people that say they cant make enough money to buy buffs and other expendibles are full of crap. if you want to grind xp, get in the 20 person solo groups and take the difficult missions, if you need money, get 2-5 people together and actually use the group like it was meant to be used. its not that hard.
it only took us a little while to figure out how to money grind, its really obvious when you think about it.
kill the inital spawn of 2-5, then everyone trash the lair at once. there will be a couple more spawned mobs, but just leave em if you want, they will usually peace out before you get to the next mission.
this may not work on every type of lair, but it worked great on kliknicks with a master smuggler/tk almost master and a master smuggler/0133 pistoleer.
c is for credit, thats good enough for me.....
