the announcement for the gear change was made a day before the update dropped, which meant it was most likely intentional so that players would rush refreshing for the pre crafting. I would assume that player spending went up between the announcement and the update drop.
It worked on me.. bought a bunch of crystals to precraft 3 droid callers and GS' lev 79 gear.
which is most likely what many players particularly competitive arena players did.
The patch note were released to the community before the patch went live. Everyone had access to the same information that clearly stated in increase in materials. How is it an exploit if you had the foresight to make some of these items before they raised the cost? Please explain?
The cost was the same for everyone. Don't hate because some people planned ahead.
I crafted my gear some time ago and I will enjoy the advantage it gives me but I'm starting to wonder if it's more healthy for the game if those furnace, droid caller and the third craft able slots were locked or disabled for the time being...
just kidding. I'm going to really enjoy using my crafted gear
It wasn't an exploit. That fact really isn't debatable. CG gave us a heads up about an exploit? Really? C'mon now. It wouldn't be considered an exploit in many other games either so I am not sure what games you seem to be playing.
Definitely not an exploit. If whales pre-crafted and you are f2p, then good game. If f2p pre-crafted and whales didn't, now you have a shot at beating their OP teams.
The Problem would be solved if the gear can be crafted in both ways until the next update goes live and they should have WRITTEN A NOTE INGAME!
This means the guys who have had the Material and didn't craft, can still craft the gear using the previous requiered material.
I've had many yellow "plus" but they disappeared after the latest Patch. Now I am screwed
To get this straight... The forums were a buzz before the lvl80 update with threads warning players to pre craft certain items before they get modified... @Qeltar I think it was one of many players warning everyone about it... & if not mistaken did so a good 3 days before the initial update.
You have no one to blame but yourselves for not crafting.
