Why are People Saying Mercenary Comms are Useless?

Well, 111 wz tokens...


Also, even if comms come in at 60% of the current rate, call it 2000 wz comms on the outside for a visible piece... Compared to NOW which is 2bm comms aka 8000 wz comms, and it WILL be easier to get BM gear come 1.2.

Regardless, this exchange back thing is bs no matter how you anyone wants to spin it. ESPECIALLY because a lot of people dont even know that their merc comms will be useless in 2-3 weeks, and are still saving them up for when they are 50. It's not like everyone comes to these forums, nor is it like BW put a big sign on the patcher saying SPEND ALL YOUR COMMS NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO NERF THEM TO POINTLESSNESS.

Christ. How hard can simple math be? If you have 1000 merc tokens already, you can convert them to 330 WZ (not 333, either).

If you have no merc tokens and want to save for 1.2, then yes, you need 3000 wz to get 1000 merc to then get your 330 wz back, or 9 to 1.

Am I right in saying, existing champ gear you have already wont change, it just won't be avilible in its current form anymore?

Seems you fail too

Although the conversions are listed as per 10, using the slider you can buy exactly the number you want at 3:1 -- so yes, 1000 merc comms => 333 wz comms, and vice versa.

However, GIVEN that there is no other way to get Merc comms in-game now than converting WZ comms, Bioware should allow people to reverse this at the same rate they were bought, at least for a limited time.

you might want to rethink your math

Except that this is only valid if you are or will be level 50 before 1.2 hits. Otherwise converting to merc comms is pointless.

Doesn't work that way though, you can only exchange stacks of 30 so you'll always be stuck with 10 left over if you convert 990 of your 1000 to 330 WZ or if you convert 990 WZ to 330 merc.

The mathematical truth of it is your obviously right as if i transfer 1000 WZ to Merc i get 330 Merc with 10 WZ still left over (the final "3.33") so effectively i have 333 for 1000 even though i only physically recieve 330 and trade in 990.
