I don't really understand what ya mean? What's wrong with the solo-groups? You get your full money when ya do em, and the payouts are the same. I have no idea what the fuss was over? Nothing changed.

Nope 
you don't get full money anymore. They calculate the money your going to get when you get the mission. That amount won't change for anything. Amount = pay of missions / people in group. So janta missions in a group of 10 now give 3k

Ummm news to me I do missions in a solo group for hours everynight and get from 27k-33k and I get it all. I never even tried the days following the patch, but then a guildmate told me that was getting his full money. I was like what? I don't believe you one bit, so I grabbed a buff ran out jumpped in a solo-group and sure enough, got all my money. I never saw any thread or post saying they had reversed what they had done, so I figured they had never even changed it.

lol if you play today you'll see that you download a small patch and SOE cover it up with a hotfix about some other stuff, ie a stealth nerf/fix for something they screwed up in the first place.

With the millions people were making each day. It didn't even dent them to throw a few k at buying a new weapon. If you think about it, the only really expensive weapons that exist are the one that use special components/schematics. If combatants will still insist on selling us the stuff for millions, they will have to still deal with paying millions for the finish product. And if they are going through a weapons so fast they need a new one every few day, then the amount of money they obtain from loot/missions will still more then pay for it.

We play an incredible role in the economy. Given that our customers aren't making so many millions a day on missions they now have to accept the fact that they cannot make the same amount of money daily. Since they aren't as rich it means that our prices may need to be adjusted. This also applies to players just starting the game. The roof of making money in missions has been lowered for them also. This is still a new concept so I'm more concerned with the future than the instant "fix the prices today". What do we do?

I don't think anyone needs to do anything. If people run out of money, then they'll go to cheaper WS's and other WSs will lower their prices to compete. But most weapons aren't that expensive as it only takes 1 mission(2 for T21s and the like) to buy a weapon. I personally don't think anything is going to happen to most of us who make regularlly crafted products...loot crafters on the other hand may feel a pinch.

Picket's on Dant still pay out ~10k,you can draw those with a solo master, and do them without breaking a sweat. The price on my factory run weapons is staying where it is.
I managed to quietlyunload most of my high ticket loot comps & weapons at or near par when the solo group nerf was first discussed. Until things settle down, customers can still bring me the uber loot if they want something crafted, but I'm not buying anything for my stock until I have an ideawhat it's gonna be worth.
