Yeah, you've got the farm nerf to thank for that one.

Isn't it ironic that a change presumably intended to hurt farming has ended up benefitting farmers?

I never said he was (and I apologize if I came off that way). I was just remarking generally.
I've had one of these sitting crafted in my SG bin for months on heroes. I think it's time to sell it and spread the wealth amongst my SG mates if it's going for that much.
You should be ashamed of yourself it is people like you who are manipulating the market and causing casual players to not get enhancements right now.(sarcasm)
Congrats! I'm sooo tempted to sell mine but I really really need it for my dark/shield scrapper

I dont actually /have/ a warshade. (except a lvl 20 one). more of a defender/controller player.

That tends to be how it goes. I dont think the devs have any actual economists or people who are very versed in how a market works.

Chaos, were you the one that flipped it for a 1.2 billion sale? Kinda scary to think the person buying from you could have flipped it again for a substantial profit...

I think he's point out that if you go out and farm one of these up now, your reward is even greater than ever for your farming effort. Not that I think anyone has found any very effective PvP farming methods beyond pure time intensive manual farming, nor do I have anything against farming either. I don't equate RMT people and any kind of exploiting with legitimate farming though. |

Not that I'm saying you do either but there was a tendency on the old boards to jump on "farmers" in general. I feel the devs obviously aren't 100 percent farming of "any kind" or they would have done a lot more to wipe it out long ago, IMO, but I also don't want to start a huge farming debate so I'll stop there.
Suddenly I don't feel ripped of at all having bought mine for 380mil...
Is there any way to currently generate PvP IOs, by the way?

So PvP IOs drop in PvP zones but no more in the arena?

They do. But the problem is the drop rate is rather crappy now.

Wrong, you can still arena farm. If you count 6 kills/30 minutes as farming.

As far as I know, they haven't patched yet for the "fix" to the drop rate so 6 in 30 minutes is optimistic.
