I can see where your coming from.

Look I have all 4 mk XII sets (not counting the duplicates), for the fed side, the run thats 2 edc and one blue shield is the average run. Throw in a battery or two, maybe a green mk X weapon for good measure and your done, oh and half a dozen lock boxes. For ground its worse. For space the shields and engines which your gonna have to vendor 9 time out of 10 at-least they were worth some ok EC not like 100k but enough to keep ya in hypos parts and regenerators. But the ground blues are all armor pshields and weapons they vendor for about nothing and they Exchange for just a little more.

Its across the board bad, every level of play its bad.. No one can look at any of this and say it's AWESOME GOOD, at best they say.. I like this or that detail.

No one says the whole of it was welcomed and accepted..

TOTAL FAIL S7

Then stop playing if you don't like it!!!!! Is playing this game mandatory for you? Do you feel diminished if you don't play it?

I see no overall problem. I, like many others, am happy with the direction the game is taking. By wanting things to go back to how they were you're saying that your opinion is more important than ours. It's not!! Mummy may have told you that you were special but so did everyone else's.

I think making FAs the source of the Best EC loot is logical. It helps enable the player base, and push forward the average player. I do think they need to change how those rewards are calculated 3 categories, damage done, damage taken, Damage healed. This opens up viability of much great number of build concepts. I suggested this during the testing phase, and I'm sure I'm not the first one to suggest it. I don't know why they don't make this change, but its something I intended to keep bring up until we know the devs hear us on this.

I also wanna say I'm excited about the rep system. I am happy new players will not have to go though the same farming horrors I did. Yeah they will have to run a lot STF, but they won't have the agony of waiting for that last drop to finish a set. On top of that the getting access to the KDF honor gear is awesome. I want that melee bosting hypo a lot! The passive are good too. I'm totally willing to put some time into getting this stuff unlocked.

I can understand folks that/are upset about the changes, but we got what we needed, and we can keep going. Yes it takes time to adjust play style and I agree if you want the average player who plays for 3.5 to refine 8k Dilithium and then design a system that requires said player to play for 4 hours to do so there is flaw in that logic. But we have to be the change we want to see.

That's actually a really awesome idea. It would mean that DPS would no longer be the main, obvious goal. +1!!!
