Test of Repair Costs

Just to sum up, those who have ingame money now, will always have ingame money no matter what happens. It matters on how much time you invest and the research you put in. Not getting lucky.

So here's what happens, as the game progresses you will be required to spend more on higher grade items out of principle. You have more money at higher lvls therefore you are more willing to spend that tad more when you buy something. When you hit 50 it tiers the same way. When columni and rakata were the things to wear they costed the same as what BH and DG cost now. Those items are based off that idea of continual increase in price of higher graded materials. A lvl 50 enhancement that is DG lvl will go for 800k to 1.2 million A stab is 150k x 4-8, just on those a lone you are looking at 800k+. When you buy all the mats and get the item for free from a crafter you are divvying the price out to more people, but you are in a sense throwing 800k-1.2 mil. into the economy. It doesn't matter if that money goes to just one person who did the work to be able to craft that item. And I've played since 1.1. The game economy from my stand point on how I made money is the same. Mando iron went for 10-20k back then just like now. Rakata lvl items went for the same as DG.

NOW. When you throw in a f2p model that has items where you soley base the profit of the item off of what people think this "**** AMAZINGLY RARE ****EN SPEEDER HOOYAH 3 MIL CREDITS." That's when people will begin to get rich off of people by an out of game mechanic where people who have the money out of game can just fund their in game character. That is what will cause inflation and I guaranteeeeeee BW saw that. And I've played so many free MMO's that offer cash shops where you will have to pay billions in the in game currency just for a specific item. F2P does nothing for the in game economy but cause inflation. If people really think its the "raiders" you are retarded.

Ya know, I think your sarcasm is in reality, truth.

BW needs to act fast, I havent seen 70 page threads pop up so fast in my life. Not only that, they will need to publicly apoligize for their blatent error, or the people that canceled their subs are not going to re-sub. I am not canceling mine cause i just plain love Star Wars IP but I would rather they keep a larger playerbase for me to sink my lighsabers into.

Thank you for this post.

And the point of this test is...? Repair costs are never an issue since Bioware can see how much people are earning doing various activities if they want to.

PvP ? never pay a repair cost.Wipe 10 times on the same boss? Youll pay for it heavily.In general i give pugs about 3 chances to get a boss down.If not, im usually done since ive got other stuff i can do.Either way, ive NEVER and i mean NEVER been broke in this game.My idea of broke is dropping below 100k.

Ive poured millions of credits into our guild bank for tabs since i use it the most.My guild has me to thank for that.Ive modded battlemaster, WH,EWH ,and two raid sets on my own using credits ive earned in game AND pulled all the mods out.Ive crafted augment kits AND the augments themselves placing them and pulling them out constantly.

Not once have repairs been an issue.Ive given guildies thousands if not millions of credits for repairs, items they wanted or mods and repair cost was NEVER an issue.

So i fail to sympathize.I work a full time job ,and have a life outside the game as well (shock and awe! )

Have a great day!

P.S. As of this posting i just bought my fifth cargo hold for 2 million credits...just saying!
