My 2 inf. Keep in mind that I'm barely a dilettante marketeer when compared to you captains of industry and I've only been watching the market for about a year. I use the market as a way to supplement income for toon building as opposed to an end in itself. What I've seen since early July is an increase in flooding of procs and other prized IO's . This has caused an intentional devaluing as someone/someones are also undercutting what were fairly consistent prices. It seems intentional as I've also seen a lot more pressure on the level 30 uncommon recipe market. I've seen stacks of level 30 uncommon go for up to 300K a piece. As has been pointed out earlier, when you factor in all these costs including conversion, the ROI is extremely small and in some cases would have to be negative. Whether this is just a case of people going the quantity over maximizing ROI route, someone intentionally messing with the market, a lessening of the player base (I really haven't seen a marked decrease in concurrent players over this time period), or something else entirely, IDK. If it is someone messing with the market, they would have to have fairly deep pockets and be willing to invest a decent amount of time. Just my thoughts/observations.

Wow. Still grinding, I see. I can't decide whether many of you remind me of a bunch of old ladies in a sewing circle bitching about the neighbor down the street or a box of hammers desperate to find a nail. What I would say to all the people hesitant to play energy blast is just this: Play what you want, how you want. Don't let the cry babies or the resume takers decide your fun. Just one star them and move on with your life. I'm not advocating griefing but I am saying that a chance for kb is literally baked into every power of that set, save "aim". If the lot of you are as good at playing this game as you imply, you should be able to compensate. If not, maybe you aren't that good. To quote Sgt. Highway (and the Marines). Improvise, adapt, overcome. I was always lead to believe the primary purpose of a game was to have fun, not to treat it as a six sigma/continuous improvement project. Guess I was wrong. *After reading this, I can see where the internet lawyers will misinterpret --You too have the right to play as you wish. Kick, one-star, leave teams. Have fun the way you want as well.

All this thread has done is make me want to roll a version of my first toon/first 50 from live back in 07/04. A Eng/Fire (terrible synergy, I know...now) blaster. It was fun and I made every mistake possible on that toon but I loved the graphics. Then go completely HAM and slot everything for KB. Screw the haters!😜

The last of NASA group 2. There are only 6 left from the 20 of groups 3 & 4. RIP, Astronaut Lovell.
