Then how the hell are we meant to get a good group to do HM if none of them have good gear lol :P
*Shrug* Guess they changed their gearing structure who knows. Guess for Gear you just skip story and do HM's as your Gear check.
Q: How do you think the gear progression is affected that TFB is now dropping Rakata gear and not Campaign gear.
TFB storymode drops Rakata. When EV and KP normal modes were released, they were meant as a progression into hardmode. We now changed that into storymode – for players who want to experience the story so now there is not so much gear progresion in storymodes.
