OFAB Armor

[Threezey]

Most OFAB items are now tradable [no longer nodrop], so why are the terminals to buy ofab armor still profession locked?

I'd like to buy my doctor's ring with my fixer's points...

If they do open the shops to other professions I think they should add to the cost. (Like 30% or something )

[Notcrattey]

To give reason to go BS on those profs?

[Meira]

Never seen anyone selectively get onto a character, due to the victory point stores for the OFAB Armor.

[Xatgunner]

Don't see why not.
If that prof doesn't want to farm the vp he can just buy it from another char with that prof. so why not make it possible to be able to buy from all prof's shops.

And yes, maybe with some % added cost. Hacks-tax

They are locked because it a mmorpg game and you should interact with other people from time to time.

[Meira]

Saying that unlocking the battlestation terminals, would cause the game to have no player interaction is a pretty funny argument. Or, even implying it would be a legitimate step in that direction.

I agree that BS shops should be open for all profs, nano shops are open for everyone so why not these too? If I want to use my highlevel char to farm VP for a lower level alt I should be able to do that and not farm creds to buy it from someone else.. Farming VP on some BS ranges are just not an option cause of little or no BS activity.

That.

BS will be crowded with NT's and Fixers farming points. debump.

I'm curious to know how removing the profession lock would affect BS activity especially at the ranges outside of the xxx-150 and 215-220 ranges.

I mean all of those 'leveling characters' that PvPers seem to complain about in BS (and similarly that complain about having to attend on non-PvP chars) wouldn't really have to go at all if they are alts of 220's because the geared up 220 could just farm all of the VP in the 215-220 BS range.

Would be interesting.. though I think the unintended side affects with such a small community might not be worth the initial convenience.

Not activity but profession variety.

Not activity but profession variety.

Yeah I saw that comment earlier in the thread.. I wasn't curious about that.. I was curious about the effect on the activity level.. which is exactly what I stated Thanks for the attempt at correction though.
