I've also been working the oro badgtes recently with a team. We've had the same problem. As I recall this has been a problem since the system was introduced, though I could be incorrect about that. It really ruins oro arcs being a group event for SGs in my opinion, but perhaps there is a workaround that I'm not aware of. Perhaps it'll get fixed one day when base raids work again...

I must say I'm rather suprised with how many people enjoy this issue. The content is pretty thin, and the bulk of IO's cause diversification which is a nice way of saying weaker overall. You can say what you like about stackable percentages but they seem to do one of two things.... 1. turn your toon into an average toon, or 2. allow you to min/max select percentages. I'd be in favor of them if the enhancements themselves had some diversity, but instead they are very cookie cutter. Anywho I wanted to post something to point out that the poll didn't truly represent much as there weren't many selections like... "I don't like this at all". Like a few others who posted here I felt the best part of the issue were the little things like stores in KR, a leveler in PI.... the hamidon encounter is essentially pointless now (so thanks for that, way to fix'r up- a terrible evil is going to destroy the whole world, but lets not bother fighting it cause STF is easier). I9 lured many with costume crud and enhancements that give percentages below what we had before but made it look enticing with tiny little 3% stacks.... in the end though.... the best defense is a good offense so it doesn't matter if I have 6% def to sleep if my acc is 110% and I can outright kill that which is trying to sleep me.
As for the market, well I already know a few people who are manipulating the market pretty nicely... its evil....may as well called it "The Farmer's Market". I look forward to the organized flooding of particular salvage pieces.
Someone mentioned its easy now for lowbies to quickly get 1million influence.... yes, that is true, but don't you think that is sad. Since I9 I've seen more people who have upper level toons but play like noobs. Don't you think instead of a university to teach you how to make IO's we're more in need of one that teaches people how to play the game.... I9 has resulted in the ability to quickly and easily ramp a toon up to the top (especially great when they play the healer and haven't really gotten down that healing portion of their toon yet). I could probably rant out for a considerable length of time, but it seems rather pointless...
Thats my 2cents, I'm glad others enjoy it more than I do , maybe I11 will be good, cause I already dislike I10
