This was a needed step. If I can ever manage to save up 16 million for a lightsaber(i.e. buying 4 pearls) then I should have that for leveling the whole tree.
I think what happened was that the devs came to the realization that with the rising number on jedi per server they were going to have to do 1 of a lot of things:
1) Increase the crystal drop rate
2)Make our sabers more durable
3)give us a lower quality alternative to crystals and pearls
It's nice to see that after all the speaking out about the problem, we are getting some response from the devs.
If this issue had not been addressed(and thank god it is being) then we would have seen a big crisis as people's reserves of crystals and pearls began to run out.
