I bet the reduced mod-pulling cost was a "bug" too.

Soon, we'll see the 45K per pulled mod again, just like old times - woohoo!

Bioware almost killed the game with 1.2 and apparently learned nothing since.

I did notice an increase in decay but I'm not gonna complain about it.

Indeed.

huge credit sinks are only an issue when they are mandatory credit sinks (like repairs). No one cares when the credit sinks are voluntary like purchasing cosmetic gear.

If they add some asinine cartel perk that lowers the repair costs for real money, i'm out. Nothing would be more of a slap in the face than nickel and dimeing like that.

oh lets bring back those crazy speeder route prices they had in beta as well, if they want to drain the player base of all it's money might as well...
I noticed tonight there was not that many spams for looking for groups in the space staion as well as on some planets, not sure if that has anything to do with the cost or that a lot of folks are out at Ilum doing the Gree thing.
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Signed. This is a terrible decision that will lead to people quitting the game. I quit D3 literally the day after they quadrupled repair costs as well.

Find a better way to deal with inflation, not milk it out of the players through bs repair costs.

Considering being right behind you. When the game is no longer fun, it's time to move on - and if I have to grind for 3 hours a day to be able to raid, that isn't fun.

I don;'t raid. I do super casual flashpoint runs with my buddies from college that I used to tabletop SW with back in the day and then solo the PVE content. I don't exploit the GTN to make money and only focus on my crew skills when I get to chapter 3 and I can power level them while playing. I run multiple alts and alternate between them so despite having 12 characters and having played consistently since beta I only have two level 50 characters. Suffice it to say that the way I play means that I am almost never swimming in credits to begin with.

But this repair expense issue has crippled me and forced me to reconsider even continuing to play this game. I hit 50 with my second character today and he went from having over 150,00 credits to less than 200 over the course of closing out the last two areas on Corellia and finishing up the final bounty hunter class quests. It was insane. And decidedly NOT. FUN.

Surely Bioware cannot be planning on keeping things this way.....
