That's a bit of a stretch. I didn't rush, I didn't farm. Yet I still had enough to afford one +33 white and several purple/cyan. This was nothing more than an emergency credit sink. They screwed up early on with the amount of credits coming into the game via slicing, and that was throwing off the economy worse than a typical MMO, I suspect. If the crystal vendor did it's job, we can probably look for the return next time the economy is screwed up beyond recognition.

What about players who started playing just when 1.2 came out and the vendor removed? Why shouldn't they get a chance at getting those crystals? Are their $15/month not good as yours?

And don't give me any of that "I'm a veteran player" nonsense. If we want this game to grow, survive, and remain healthy, then every player should have the opportunity to earn these crystals. I am not asking for the crystals to be made easy to get. They should remain rare, but they should at least be accessible to those who put the time and effort in. As BioWare has noted before, most players do not have 1 million credits. So even under a vendor system, those crystals are rare.
what about the 'vet players' that launched this game from day -7 of this game? what about all the time they spent earning credits to buy say 2 white crystals and a unique speeder all for the reason that it will never be avaiable again.
we put in our time and effort, because BW said 'TEMP STUFF, GET NOW OR FOREVER QQ', we deserve to have rare items that should NEVER be put back in. you had your chance, you missed it. sorry, that is life.

and the others that started late but help the game live....
dont worry, there will be more events and rares.

for those of us without a credit card at that time, and not trusting paypal could not get the game until game stores could get them imported, whish didn't start until February.
But alas this thread is about the rare crystals. Those of us who have taken our time levelling (not rushing and credit farming) are still not able to get the crystal that a BW dev promissed would be craftable. As it stands, only Imps are allowed the purple crystal (even though they are more of a Jedi colour [aka Mace Windu]) This should be re-addessed

That you will still be able to get. They should make a rare crystal for those who couldn't get the White ones that the people who have them cannot get.

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.
Actually, purple is more associated with the Light Side of the Force

Started playing in Dec. I took my time getting to 50. But, YES I farmed the dailies like a mad man for 2 weeks to get a +41 white.

I think those of us who got in early, and dealt with the early problems should get something for our trouble & our longer sub.

Don't worry. There will be other rare items in the future.

btw- I've heard some talk of a +41 orange patern dropping from PD on belsavis from time to time- don't know if it's true though. But +41 crystal paterns in all the regular flavors are not rare, so it's not like anyone is getting an unfair advantage because they happened to be around while the crystal vender was available.

I'm not actually blaming anyone, apart from some devs. My idea is just that, an idea, but it could help the people who didn't get a chance at the white crystal to get a rare crystal that the people who got the white cannot get. It just levels the field a bit imo

not sure if its fact but i was told you can get a purple crystal schematic from the grade 6 crafting boxes from the pvp vendor. its also supposed to be pvp stat but the game is so easy you can survive without that extra 41 power or crit or end.

again i dont know if this is true but if it is then you can craft one.
