Black Hole paid very well in the past for a few reasons, 2 of which are gone... 1. the enemies dropped credits out of all proportion to their challenge and time to kill. 2. the density of droids and the value of the mats farmed from them made them well worth killing. That has changed, I tried Black Hole once when 4.0 dropped, I haven't been back since. It is no longer worth running.

Seriously, I don't know why you'd bother to even to those. You'd think you'd be smarter enough to realize that. You should only be doing Heroics that are in phases which are the majority of them. Check this out genius. Believe it or not there are a number of really quick phased Heroics that can be done easily and quickly like the Korriban ones and the Coruscant ones. Here's an insane idea. If you're brain for whatever reason can't remember what Heroics aren't instanced and what ones aren't maybe oh I don't know write them down. Because that's not how MMOs work, and it's not something that you can easily make optional. It would not be an easy thing to do at all. You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, but please keep stating your assumptions as facts. See above. I also love the fact that you're only concerned about what's best for you and not the overall population or state of the game. Heroics are boring but farming mobs on Corellia is fun? What about stating your own assumptions right with evidence? Okay let's begin: 1st: Again I hate quests. Optimizing heroics is NOT an option. 2nd:Okay why would it be that ''hard'' to do? 3rd: This is a subjective opinion and I guess you'll never be ''genious'' enough to unerstand what's going on in my mind

Frankly I think farming random mobs is a waste of time and boring.... Black Hole, CZ-198, Oricon used to be my set that I'd do once per week, per toon, on 3 or 4 toons a week. Between drops from kills, comms, credits from the missions, that was a very profitable 2 hours spent. Today, with the new overpowered companions, it is honestly not any harder to do than it was, but it is more annoying... and it doesn't pay as well as it used to, so I don't do it anymore. I've run that rotation twice now, once pub, once imp, since 4.0 dropped, and haven't again and I may never again. Level sync went just far enough to be annoying without going far enough to be a challenge. Cleaning my house is not a challenge, it is just annoying. That is what old content feels like now. Cleaning my house.

Same here. I am not even visiting planets and missions below level 65 anymore, no i haven't done star fortress, never will, it's on low level planet, and all the hard work i put into obtaining 220 and 224 gear is now useless below level 65 missions, it's super stupid.

What you describe is how the bots were doing it. It wasn't Level Sync that hurt you. It was the reduction in cash off of random mobs. That was where you made your money and it's were the credit famers made their money. Good riddance to that.

I love how people are complaining about this. I don't feel weak while playing under sync I'm still tearing mobs a new one.

So let's just clarify what level sync was designed for: (help would be appreciated) 1st: allowing you to enjoy story-content at your level, even if you are 65 and want to redo korriban quests. 2nd:.... add whatever comes to your mind

You clearly do not understand the system then. If that's all you want out of the game, then so be it, but you can't force your mis-understanding and naivety on the rest as some kind of fact that exists only in your head.

If it is really that annoying, buy a hypercrate, sell it, use the credits to augment, skip all this... Quote: Originally Posted by aristrokratie I do not like questing in general0, I dislike those ''heroics'' even more because I could just hopp into one, pull everything, go downstairs to make myself a coffee, return, bang my head against a wall and when I wake up my companion will have cleared the instance alone... Apart from the fact that heroics are less efficient credit per hour wise than my ultra farming spot of awesomeness why should I play a game that requires me to do something a lot that I do not like doing only to be able to enjoy awfully balanced pvp because they've spent their money and time develloping story. ^ In that case, you might be playing the wrong game... no, not "might", you ARE playing the wrong game. Give EVE Online a try, that might be more up your alley.

Levle sync didn't kill your income - the 4.0 patch killed your income The amount of credits dropped from defeated NPCs has been greatly reduced. AKA they want you grinding heroics rather than mobs for income.
