yes, i forsee krayted weapons dropping in price faster than a brick in water. Heck, it doesnt take a smart person *hence i figured it out* to know that, lol.

on farstar there fall very very soon - in one buff i got about 5 decent sets - from +50 to +100 soloingand im a carbineer
krayt weapons will be the norm very soon - great for the WS business - the majority of us will be making more krayt weapons then not

not really great for business. I think stocking up tissues for VU is better idea since not nearly as many krayts will be successfuly killed after CU especially not solo

hows that? I thought the combat upgrade would affect pvp, and a few other things? the only thing i thought would affect krayt hunting would be the different armour types? Or are you saying because more people will be involved in PVP and less with hunting krayts?
I still cant believe people are getting 1 mil or more for 7x 54 damage 0.4-0.5 speed tissues, as was said, you can get your own in less than an hour. I know when i went hunting with only 3 other guild members (we can take everything but ancients, which we havent tried yet, because our damage isnt great, and we dont wanna wait all day for it to die), we looted 2 pearls,7x tissues and7x armour scales, and thats us who arent that good. So thats about 4 million profit easily if we sold all the stuff at old prices (which we did with the premium pistol.

CU will make PvE harder. Back in the day they made most PvE mobs much weaker in preparation for the rebalance (which then never came). The interesting thing is that they then gave krayts insane amounts of HAM in an attempt to make them tougher (as people were dropping them like durnis), yet left everything else reduced for the CU. /ponder
I am baffled by the guy that got +100 tissues as a carbineer though... I've yet to get anything like that from a juvie, and I can't even begin to imagine a carbineer soloing a canyon krayt or higher...not since they fixed the harvester trick at least.
In the end though, I don't see the big deal. The other day I came home with about 50 tissues, dropped them all on the floor, and just admired them thinking how that would last me ages. A couple hours and factory runs later I had just a few new krayt weapons in my inventory. Then the slicer came and half of those got speed slices and just became bleh. Ended up with about 4-5 decent enhanced weapons to put up for sale and a few to give to guildies that are coming back to grind their new templates with. The only way you can make a ton of weapons with these tissue hauls is to make single handler weapons...and very few of these have much of a market at the moment. Sure there are more enhanced weapons, but there are still no where near enough to outfit every man, woman, and child in the galaxy as some pretend.
What I have noticed is an insane number of /tells from people asking me to make them weapons with their tissues. I was held hostage in my crafting house a few days ago with a line of people trying to pay each other off to get ahead in line...
That was both annoying and entertaining at the same time.

I feel it's great that now the little guy has a chance to own a Krayt enhanced weapon. Krayts are still tough to kill as ever, and it's alot of fun goiing out with your guildies and killing them. So bring on the Krayts! Bring on the enhanced weapons, and let's all have fun!

I didnt want to be the first to throw the spear so to speak. but I completely agree here is another example of how the whining minority dictate how the majority must play the game. When I start thinking about how the krayts were pumped up to provide more pearls it makes me pissed. IS ANYTHING SACRED ANYMORE?!? CAN ANYTHNING NOT BE COMMON?!? SHOULDNT SOMETHING BE FEKKING RARE EXCEPT "LEGENDARY" AND "EXCEPTIONAL" DROPS?!? SOE what are you thinking? Some insight if you will as to why you specifically bumped up the krayt spawn...

Since this spawn and the future spawn that is now in TC I have very seriously considered not only droping WS but this game entirely and i can garantee several will follow me and for SOEs info those that will follow are all multi account people. I refuse to be an assembly monkey as you call it. From what i understand the reason for the increase was because there wasnt enough pearls to go around which leads us to the same point the fledgling Jedi wanting a awsome enhancement for their saber without haveing to pay their dues. I have discontinued makeing all blaster weapons because i see no future in it. The recent influx of Krayt tissue on the market has made my weapons obsolete and imvery upset about thisbecause i had some realy sweet Nyms enhanced modles. All my non krayt blaster weapons are about to be destroyed because they are worthless. If you want to please the inpatient jedi population there was a better way to do it. instead of increasing the spawn rate, which inturn has destroyed the weaponsmith profession, dev could have made pearls drop in sets like tissues do. Instead they have chosen a path will lead to the downfall of the blaster weapons market. SOE if you keep this up you will loose all your old players and will be left with a population of people that have only just begun to play and that my friends is very dangerous. Us vetrans have stuck with your game and proven that as long as were treated fairly will be here paying your 15 bucks a month per account (and remember most of us older players hold multiple accounts) till the game is gone; but with curent developements i have heard more and more vetran players say that enough is enough. You are looseing your true bread and butter SOE if you dont take action soon.

They're making player friendly updates. This one helps reduce kill stealing, adds more high end content, and makes krayt pearls and kraytenhanced weapons more readily available. How can you be so blinded by your own bottom line to not see the good effects this has on the community?
Its been posted before concerning loot kits. Once, they were really rare and sold for about 2m a piece. Only a select market was able to purchase these items. Now with meatlump camping, there are plenty more completed loot kits, the prices have dropped down to the 250k range, and are now affordable to a much wider market. Have loot kit sales slowed down? Probably not, but the prices have changed and sellers make their money on volume not margins.
So instead of making a couple mil off of one krayt weapon sale,put in the effort of having a well stocked krayt selection and profit off of the volume of your sales.

I for one will not be an assembly monkey either. If I have to I will charge 100k and up to assemble krayts if that is all I end up doing. Normally I charge 25-75k depending on the weapon, 75k being a T21.

I charge 100k per weapon for bigger stuff non scatters i bulk scatters so if he had 5 geonos and 4 scatters i charge 100k for each geono and 100-200k for the scatters total.
