As I said earlier, repair costs and resale values were already factoring shell and mods in before this patch.

Thanks for proving there's something wrong with the "item value" calculation 1.7 introduced, although there could have been something similar before : no way the shell should be such a big part of the repair cost.

This explains why I didn't notice hardly any change in my repair bills. I am almost exclusively using shells bought with commendations & social gear.

Thank you very much for clearing that up. I haven't stopped raiding but I did stop queing in groupfinder. I will only do daylie flashpoints/raids with my guild members until this is reversed. Supporting newcomers has become way to expensive.

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.
and that is precisely the problem... EA knows there are plenty of Star Wars lovers that they can just continue peddling crap to while cash grabbing them for every penny they have.

Sometimes some tough love is needed. The only language they understand or care about is MONEY

Personally with the direction this game is going I dont see how some of the stuff introduced here is even good for the Star Wars universe.

All chest pieces had the same standard 51 Tionese Armoring/Mod/Enhancement
All chest pieces were tested with and without that enhancement

The test was done from 100 to 95 durability
The Covert Torso was done from 120 to 115 durability
My toon was naked except for the chest piece, Fathraa's Thugs were hitting me until 95 durability was reached.

Results:

Armor type - Sale price of Armor - Repair with Enhancement - Repair without Enhancement

Tionese - 5025 creds - 502 creds - 468 creds
Campaign - 7220 creds - 612 creds - 568 creds
War Hero - 1 credit - 251 creds - 207 creds
Orange - 65 creds - 254 creds - 210 creds
Cartel - 3105 creds - 338 creds - 302 creds

Repair Cost / Sales Price
Tionese 0.09
Campaign 0.08
War Hero 254.0
Orange 3.85
Cartel 0.11

The higher the sales prices, the worse the ratio becomes, the costlier the repairs will be.
Strong incentive to use PVP shells!

Repair cost percentage contributed by the enhancement:
Tionese 6.77%
Campaign 7.19%
War Hero 17.53%
Orange 17.33%
Cartel 10.65%

Summary: Repair costs depends overwhelmingly on the sales price of the shell, not on any enhancements!

Hence, I stand by what I've said before:
The increased repair costs CLEARLY DOES NOT reflect any kind of "bug fix" for enhancement costs.

Game Update 1.7: Return of the Gree
2/12/2013
•Item sell values and item repair costs now reflect the value of the items and any enhancements attached to them. Previously, items were incorrectly being valued without their enhancements.


Shame on you Bioware for lying to your customers!

P.S. If someone else has posted a similar test already, I apologize for the redundancy.
Another great post on what I view as a very important issue, particularly for people who have spent Cartel Coins on purple gear. Thank you very much.

I don't think it's a bug. The legacy shell headpiece is is worth 8k with no mods in it at all. This means a 10% repair would be 800+ (on that one piece of armor with no mods). I did a similar test to the OP with headpieces including the exalted legacy one. I came to the same conclusion he did. I haven't heard this remodded purple issue before. Can you elaborate so we can come up with a test to verify?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, BW needs to start giving us numbers, real numbers and percentages to work with in the notes to prove their stance.
EA can't see how illogical some of their recent decisions are due to the dollar signs in their eyes blocking the view.
