I have been reading away on the forums and now I'm all fired up!
This is just me at the moment, and I like the game, don't hate the Devs, and not particularly upset with the "CU".
There's a few things that are bugging Weaponsmiths, and I love being one but this dang ADK is cuttin in on business!
I can understand rewarding long term customers, but they should really bio link that thing.
I'll bet the never imagined how much impact they would have overall when they thought them up.

I totally agree...
The Pandora's Box was opened and now... why have decay at all??? I mean mods still work on clothing at 0/1000 cond so what's the point?

maybe its just me but i dont feel the bio linking would solve anything xcept it would make less ADKs available for trade so their prices would go lot higher, which might be of a help a bit. its true that the time limit idea gonna make lotsa ppl mad, but why is it good to hav a weapon forever?!?! i know they shouldnt came up with the ADK idea and its too late now but still think this would be a cool idea. my real problem when the ADKs werent existed that i used up a weapon so fast that they didnt even lasted a few weeks but it would be far enough if i knew that they will last for 1 month(or even 2 or 3...). ofc this would need to be thinked over a lot more(what about armors,sabers etc...) but cant really see any other solution(lol probably im just too young in the game to see it)

This is not really an option. Too many people have spend too many credits on too expensive stuff and ADKs for it. the biolinking would be great though as it would take weapons out of circulation once they where ADKed and if people changed template then they would have to destory the weapon and the person who would in today scenario buy it from the fighter, would have to go to us for the weapon instead. However the reward would still be just as nice as long as the fighter didnt want to change weapon
agree, but still the most part of the problem that once u got ur weapons u wont even need any more really(or as long as there wont be anymore more changes about crafting:smileywink

True, but people change templates and new weapons are introduced. Believe me I really really tried to battle the ADK when they stated they would introduce it. cant even count the number of post I and many other WS made with good reasons as to why this reward was a bad idea. It should have never been introduced and I think the devs didnt imagine the impact it would have and have had.
That being said. It is here now and that is the reality we have to face. Making it puff after a month or making it jsut reduce the decay with 50% as others have suggested is simply not an option as players have invested so much time and money in these things and the things they protect.
Having them biloink would be a good compromise between fighters and crafters IMO and I myself think it would help immensely. Just ahve a look at your servers tradeforum and see how many weapons are sold or traded with adks on them those transactions would go back to us.
I admit its not the perfect scenario for us, but that is the best solutionen Ive heard so far that wouldnt totally destroy other players valuables (and again yes the adk should never have been introduced, but fighting for the removal is void, figthing for biolinking might be an options and I think we should go for it.)
That is of course my opinion.
Also if you have read my other comments on this issue I have suggested that the biolinking should be made alongside improving upon the variety in weapons (achieved by making Elemental damage more important (creature resists should return). having the need fo r 4-5 different weapons when going out to hunt would also deminish the negative impact of the adk

Bio-linking ADKs is a good idea for weaponsmiths and a good idea for jedi, and will prevent the economy from becoming stagnent (since when u have a jetpack, adk armour and weapons, what is there to do than sit on ur money?)

No i don't think so. Imagine your ADKed Mandalorian Armor goes poof after 1 month. But i agree with bio-linking.

Speaking from a crafter's point of view of course
This was actually aired with the publish 23 (the adk suddenly had a text on it saying it would biolink) Then the devs stated that it was a mistake and that it was never intended. I made several post stating how good this would have been for the crafting community and how good a compromise this wouldve been.
If I get the corrospondent post this is definately an idea I would ask the WS community if they felt should be submitted to the devteam as I reallly think it would be good for crafters.
SInce this was introduced then taken back (it didnt work when put live) Ive been eager to get this discussion rolling and I would suggest to whoever gets the corrospot that this is taken up for debate.
