AFK-farming was/is lame. But at least it produced a supply that came near to keeping up with demand.
 
Do you really think I should have to play my main and hunt for a week...a month...just to get one silly crystal?
 
How about "Let's get in there with the devs and start looking at IMPLEMENTING other ways to get crystals.
 
Do your job, Arjun. We don't need pep-talks. 
We need you to force the top-5 and other issues down TH's throat till he wakes up.
 
Their "star" profession bites, so far.



We have, that's why they are revamping our entire profession.

I'm not a Jedi yet but I'm grinding proffessions.  I just finished Commando (number 15 without unlocking since Holocron day 1) and started into Smuggler.  While slicing locked containers I opened one and found a Twin Force Crystal inside.  I've opened about 100 containers today and only gotten one crystal, so it's not common, but it does happen.

You guys should be rare. I know on kauri alone there are hundreds (300+). You are not rare, anyone with the money and time to grind professions can be one. That my friend is a big fat JOKE.

Hmm lets see... 300,000+ subscribers 24 servers thats 12,500 people per server (all things being equal)

300 on kauri would be  .024 or 2.5% . that seems pretty rare to me.  So i echo Galactic  ---> Shaddddup

Type of Mob: Sleemo Hoodlum

No. killed: afk for 10 hours whilst at work - anywhere from 100-2000

Type of crystal: Purple twin

 

It seems that the former method of camping low level thug spawns for hours is not going to be feasible. 

Is this an official line or an assumption made. I got my crystal by using exactly this method even if it took me longer than before patch.

It has been hinted by some members of the Jedi community that non-static spawns have been dropping crystals

Non static spawns have always dropped crystals. AFAIK all npcs have a chance of dropping them.

Jawas have also been hinted at as dropping crystals

Jawas have always dropped crystals - are you implying Jawa drops have increased or just stating that people have found some on Jawas?

Lets get out there and start looking around for other ways to get crystals besides /targetCycleOutward

What are you suggesting here? ....    /loot ?

If drops have decreased and moved to higher level NPCs then we have simply created a Krayt system for Crystals as well. We wanted the old one changed but at least anyone stood a chance. Lowered drop rates will only serve to force crystal pricing up. Moving loot to higher level NPCs will require even more time spent using your alt character. This is a most unsatisfactory solution, particularly to those who were not farming crystals pre-patch.

Garva says they have no further comment on this but I think they are entitled to explain to their customers why they are forcing a loot based economy and discouraging the use of Jedi characters, when a simple increase in drop rates and making crystals untradeable would solve all problems in the short term.

Well said Jimba.
 
The devs either truely do not know the problem exists (gee, that wouldn't be a first).....
or they are flat out misleading us (to what end, I cannot fathom).
 
Either way, the problem exists.  It is real. 
And Garva or TH posting that it does not exist won't change the fact.
