One More (And My Own) Angry Rant About Rishi Datacrons

I had gathered every planet datacrons and was looking forward to doing the last one on my list: Yay, Rishi !
When to my horror I found out what I was in for...
BioWare had changed the deal in the most painful - or sarcastic way, or both depending on the pov.

For a games company renowned for failing to bring fresh new content but excels at (poorly) recycling old material, BioWare had the nerve to introduce a TINY 5% drop rate mob to farm THREE TIMES !
Some of you might say: "What's the big deal" - well, that's depending on your luck 3 days to a whole week NON STOP FARMING. You really gotta experience those retarded drop rates to really appreciate the dumbness of the scheme.

They ruined an otherwise great way to introduce stats to all, and turned a galaxy wide chase, fun, well thought long haul time sink into pure sh itty players interactions experience - with every spot being savagely camped.
I assure you, the vibe is that pathetically bad with players unable to even resolve their anger with pvp, turning almost guaranteed to verbal abuse wars.

With that extra nail in your coffin, you're helping me finally close the door on you bw. That almost unethical move on your part turned a fun experience into utter disgust feeling cheated since you changed the deal mid way with clear blatant disregard for players quality experience - was it laziness? cba complete another intricate course? I guess we'll never know since you hardly read those posts. Who knows... one can dream...

Just wait 'til you get to the Endurance one on Makeb. For someone as bad at platforming as me, it ain't worth the stress.

Wonder what I could sell the disks for? I have all three in my legacy bank set aside for a guild event that will never happen because everyone quit.
And now for something completely different!

Yes, it's a referral link. Now, watch as I pull a rabbit out of this hat.

It's super-easy. Takes about an hour, compared to Rishi's days.

Biofail should go the way of other MMOs and allow the sharing of quest kills from non-grouped players. The "fight for first tag or your screwed" mentality here promotes hatred rather than community teamwork.

So one of the biggest stat increases in the game takes some effort? Oh the horror.

This. Amidst all the complaining that the game is far too easy and streamlined, they introduce some old school MMO camping mechanics (and very forgivable ones) and people start to blow a gasket.

If anyone wants to know why MMO's suck, ladies and gentleman, I now present to you, exhibit A.

Can we have our genre back now?

Meh, it really wasn't all that bad. It kinda even gave me some Everquest nostalgia from farming named's for just a hope of a certain drop. If this is really your breaking point than maybe gaming isn't the right hobby for you.

Nobody is complaining about general effort. The problem are mechanics that create frustration rather than any form of pleasure.
I just finished all datacrons except fleet and rishi myself. It was challenging, especially as mentioned makeb which I manage to do without screwing up considering how many times I had to start several other runs like one on nar shaddaa with my not perfect jumping skills and inprecise jumping game mechanics.

But this one grophet on rishi has a too low chance to actually be there. Im camping it for nearly a week now, killing the three, logging out, doing something else. Not even at the times when Im alone on rishi there is no sighting of this one creature.

It creates frustration, not fun. Its an effort to actually do this long journey. Its challenging enough. Why make it frustrating at the end?
