Cost of speeding training ever going to be sane?

Play a few Warzones (pick up the daily too) do a few Space missions and you'll have the creds. Also you don't need to buy it at 40. Wait a few levels till you have the money and then buy it.

Good news, earning 100k credits is a cake walk at 50. Doing most, but not all, the dailies can give you an extra 300k. Or go Biochem and try to rip people off selling stims and adrenals.

This wasn't the case for my first toon. On my first toon at 40 I had over 300k in credits. Credits are not an issue in this game. Once you get to 50, you average 200k a day if you do all the dalies on Ilum and Belsavis. So that means any alts you play are easily funded.

To have enough at 40, you need to completely avoid crafting, companion missions (other than slicing) and obviously avoid buying anything including stims or armor or slot upgrades.

I was wondering why they even have vendors selling stims, armor, weapons or access to the galactic trade system until after level 40. If you participate in ANY of these things you will not have the money at 40 for the speeder.

So, you are saying, "You have the choice of letting the game suck for 40 levels or having a speeder that isn't a peice of ****." Yeah, thats called bad game design.

If you have to AVOID playing the game so you can have something you need to play the game the last 10% of the content, that's just stupid.

So we are back to the point being: The level 40 mount costs twice as much as it should be. I am not paying Bioware money to NOT play the game. People whine about posts like mine saying we should be able to afford things that make the game better without having to sacrifice half the content of the game but you know what?

I'M PAYING FOR THE GAME TO BE FUN.
Wow, reading some of these posts, it's amazing we can actually function as a society at all...

So you're just ignoring all the posts telling you it's perfectly doable even while crafting?

How convenient

I dunno. I'm too busy trying to gear myself out in HM's and Ops. There isn't enough time in the day to do both. So either I get money so I can train riding or get gear that actually helps myself and my guild burn down content. Then of course I did spend money on bio/bio to get them to 400 as well and my guild appreciates it in HMs and Ops.

Then we have the whole, Ilum is like a power point presentation when more than 8 people are in close proximity. I know that my rug is underpowered with 12 gigs of DD3 and a 570 GTX vid card on an unlocked i5 CPU.

So I guess that my Rendii Fireball will just sit in the garage for a couple more weeks since the price of respecing, training, repairs are just F'n rediculous right now. 10k per death is borderline stupid for repairs.

You simply are not listening to comments by other members here, IMO. Which leads me to conclude you simply want to rant and be angry.

I have 5 characters past level 35 now. In every case, including my very first character, I never skimped or denied myself access to anything while leveling and I still had more then enough money for the level 40 speeder training by level 35. I trained all my skills and bought selected items from the GTN. I did not piss my credits away, but I also did not pinch and skimp as I went. Using select crew skills to augment your income as I described earlier = credit cow.

How can people not afford speeder training? Did you spend all your money on death sticks or something? When I hit 40, I had almost 500k credits without even trying.

I hit level 25 on my Sorcerer last night. I have only done quests and space missions. I have leveled both Diplomacy and Bioanalysis to 100. I had 70K on my Sorcerer when I went to get my speeder training and buy all my lv 25 skills.

Unless you are literally buying yourself new armor off the GTN every level, or trying to max out your crafting before level 50 (hint - you are not intended to be able to afford to craft the best armor in the game before you have access to level 50 money-making) the speeder prices are quite cheap.

I guess this is a clear case of virtual life mimicing real life for some.
