Shortly after the update I saw 3 within a couple days. Then it simply stopped showing up.
More crap business practices. "LOOK! The extra gear we created that you all want and need is here! But we're not telling you we reduced the chance of seeing one from 70% to 2% overnight so you will keep buying crystals to refresh."
Seems to be the case.
They're shady tbh, this is just bad business. Why not take my money? Not giving us answers to this is just Pi ssing me off immensely.
They're taking people's money in the form of crystals for refreshes. I'm sure they have some evil math wizard working behind the scenes that tells them they'll make more money this way.
We're just screwed.
Truth. I've probably spent at least $10 on refreshes with nothing to show for it.
4/25/2016 - The day General Grevious Shards were reasonably priced.
It's all I care about, I wake up early so I don't miss a 6 hour window. Still nothing while everyone else progresses.
Man, you shouldn't lose any sleep over this. That's crazy to set an alarm just to wake up and check shipments? Good luck to you, I hope u get it just so can get some sleep.
Still haven't seen one. The longer this goes on, the more difficult it gets for me to compete with the gear 9 gang, the less incentive I have to keep playing.
Ha ton of people keep saying they see them but i look every day. Make sure to post the 5 vs the 4. I see the 4 furnace all the time but nobody is talking about the 4 so be clear

Did you read even one post in this thread? People are refreshing, flushing money down the toilet over and over and not seeing any.
I'm convinced that they lowered the rate of them showing up in the store after the first day or two.
You're just seeing RNG. That's 90% of the game.
Funny how quite a few people said they saw them more than once early on, decided to wait and see what a failure raids were, and then never saw them again.
I saw one the first day and passed. Saw two back to back the second day. Then never again.
After 2 weeks of raids, i have 6/50 of the item i need to build a furnace.. at that rate it's going to take me months.. So i'm being forced into buying them because raid drops are garbage. Yet they're never in shipments? so now i've gotta also pay to refresh.. So basically on top of the costs for a furnace, i'm also forced into paying for a chance that one might pop up.. Lol.
Not to mention the huge credit crunch, where the cost of everything is soaring, and we're still earning the same amount of credits we did at level 40/50..

Then you just stop spending money. I don't get what all these people are doing hitting all these refreshes...they are willingly being taken advantage of. WHY would they change the system when it works so perfectly for them haha.
And there is NO WAY they would change it now, could you imagine the backlash of all the people that have spent a small fortune refreshing and on gear. It's here to stay, only way to change it is to not participate :-/
This really seems to be bait and switch. I saw 4 furnaces in the first 2 days. Since then 0. And I have been refreshing a lot. This RNG thing is very convenient. You can hide a elephant behind it, there is no way to tell. They never tell us the drop rates.

P.S.: These are Mk5 CEC Furnace
Shouldn't they have some sort of legal obligation to tell us the odds? Even the lottery does that. This is basically a lottery now.
I'm thinking about asking the BBB if this is ethical.

I had to do that with ebay and saved myself over $300.

I told one of the service reps I would go to them. Since I bought 30 GG shards by mistake when they conveniently moved him to the top of the shard shop. They were going to do nothing for me. @fudgra BBB is best thing on earth.

Complaints you make to the BBB are made public. As long as the info is truthful companies don't like bad publicity.
I was a seller on ebay and they gave a buyer an auto refund for a brand new item they claimed didn't work. I called them 4 times and got the runaround. Two weeks after filing with the BBB they sided in my favor and I didn't have to refund the $360 that they paid the buyer.

They slam them with lawsuits. @fudgra i'm happy that worked out for you!
I have bought 3. I have refreshed the 100s. I was first to report the furnaces in the shipments. And I am angry and perturbed i haven't found one for three days. Every toon needs one. Ugggh.

@Arube Yeah!
Oh, I didn't know you can purchase those until now. I'll keep an eye out.
I thought that was known i'll fix it.

$15? I paid $24 for the one I gave to Dooku. Did they go down from 2,400 crystals?
Furnaces are 1600 crystals AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE for gear. MK 5 A/KT Stun Gun is 2400
