It just doesnt seem logical to me. This is SOE... during the reboots, they could just run one query and change all -1s to 3000. Less workf or CSRs, less work for people, and less hassle later on down the road. Imagine if you took a month sabbatical from the game to do something... like get married, came back, and saw your uber NS Lance you paid 60m for was GONE. When people lose the things they love most, then become the most unstable... and I'd say that the odds of that person leaving SWG would be pretty high. How can you keep customers when you're punishing them for YOUR mistakes? This is why I dont understand SOE sometimes...

"The problem is that they still work with 0 Condition, and then the additional infinite uses.."
Thenset the DOT to 0 uses when it hits 0/<MAXCONDITION> or 1/1 condition.

I think the bottom line of this conversation is simple to see...
"Forget the -1 DoTs, go fix the Berserker Rifle!"

lol instead of doing this stupid turn in your -1 uses DOT's, they should make the DOT's drop like weapon stats do at 25%, that way people wont be running around with 0 condit ones, and they'll eventually die...might kill some of those like 18k uses ones too, those are close enough to unlimited...

All DOTs work regardless of the condition of the weapon. The only thing taken into account is whether you miss or hit, the potency of the DOT and the uses remaining.
Anyway the whole thing is comical from the standpoint as they make it seem like this is so new and they just now noticed it.
They have been around for a long time and the -1s are still dropp as of now and you are just supposed to turn it in to have it fixed.
The part about.."Part of the fix will be deleting all -1 DOT weapons..."just sounds like something to get you to turn it in vaoluntarily to me.
I do not have any problem with it, but I feel sorry for the people who paid out the a** for them, and even worse for those who actually thought it was part of the game as a feature or enhancement and not a "bug".
