Quote It's not the rarity that is the issue; there have been plenty of rare, desirable items before. It's that they made such a huge deal promoting it, and it is significant: a new modification slot for many weapons. That's more than just a rare weapon, like the Arbiter's Saber, it's a whole new type of customization. But instead of making it generally accessible, or offering some kind of "basic" Weapon Tuning as an introductory mission reward, the first one released is a Rare drop from Cartel Packs that you have to pay money for. And on top of that, it can't be replicated via Collections.



The team at Bioware isn't stupid, they know how insanely expensive those will be on the GTN. Even if people TRY to price the Weapon Tuning items reasonably, they will get scooped up and flipped for far more. It smacks of cynicism and exploitation of the fans and players, and it is a very poor showing on Bioware's part. RP - PvE: The Ebon Hawk server
