Rare Crystals

This is just plain wrong. I took my time to level my characters, got my first to 50 in about a month. Played end-game for a few weeks, raised some credits and bought myself the white crystal for 2 mill. Couple months later they remove the vendor.

Please don't cry that you didn't know about the crystals before they removed the vendor, there was more than enough time to get all of the available items at the time (I got the white crystal and the 2 mill speeder). All the credits I raised from doing dailies, so it was not a fast process.

EDIT: And I started playing when Aussie servers came out

We all know the worst place in the world to be a gamer is Australia, you guys are always getting screwed.

360 and PS3 games selling for almost $100. Your government censoring games or not even releasing them. Your ISPs rip you off. Ive read the articles.

You should just expect to get screwed over at every turn. This is the 1st MMO Ive seen when they actually gave you your own servers right?

I mean no disrespect towards you, Im just stating what I have read.

In terms of location, yes it is the first MMO to give the Asia Pacific region servers, but WoW (even though they were located in the USA) gave our region a few servers. It all depends on how you see it. But I still agree with the OP, we should all be given a chance to get those rare crystal. The purple crystals should be openly available to both factions, as it is it's showing that BW prefer people to play Imp characters.

I agree with that for sure.

It would be cool to bring back the vendor on Aussie servers.

This isn't a QQ thread about not getting the crystal.

It is:

1. Pointing out a dev chat statement that contradicts a dev chat statement just three months ago where it was said that some of these would be craft-able (back when the temporary vendor was available), and now are not able to craft them.

2. Identifying that some of us may have gotten one or more of these crystals, and would greatly desire the chance to transfer them (via Legacy and cooldowns or other means) to our other characters who would benefit more from the color, and/or because we are focused on an alt while waiting on new content and/or after switching main characters.

3. Pointing out that new characters, even for founding veteran players, do not have a means to obtain these crystals and would like to have access to them by some means (ie: Legacy transfer, high dollar vendor credit sink, or crafting community) as a way to further enjoy that new character.

Amazon shipped to Australia no worries. I even got my copy on Dec 19.

I personally think these rare colours should remain just that - rare.
At the time of them being available I didn't have a great deal of cash - so my main character purchased a Cyan crystal and I'm happy that I don't see loads of them around.
So I can't get a White crystal, tough to me - I had the chance, I could have spent the vast majority of my credits on one but I didn't.
Not exactly fair if I can then start to pick them up for a much lower sum.

Rare crystals?
1. Magenta +41 flooded the market after 1.2 came out, now I'm lucky to sell them for 350k.
2. Purple crystals from the 1.15 vendor were BoE so just spam /trade. People craft the +41 Expertise crystals, ask around.
3. The Cyan +41 expertise are craftable.
4. White - rare.

At this point in time White crystals the ONLY rare crystal in game for both PvE and PvP - well the +41 Exp Purple/Cyan are rare depending on your server.

And we can't get Cyan on the Imperial side, outsie of the pvp crafted ones. This holds true for purple on the Repub side.

Purple was more commonly associated with the dark side, Cyan the light side so it makes sense. You can also still get Black-Purple as a republic if I am not mistaken.

Check your facts before you QQ.

Black purple drops in EC HM from chests.
