What matters most to you about Discovery?

[St.Denis]

Well when the Sci-data rewards have clear pvp advantages over normal stuff, or are the only means of creating certain events (or any events at all, depending on who you are) it's to be expected. This is why the implementation is so bad - all these items that should be freely available are gated.

I have no idea if they give you an advantage or not (never bought any or used any), but there was a great rush to 'buy' them, by a few people, at the beginning and now I see those that bought quite a few of them, now selling them.

Previously, I used to go around and offer to sell the SD, at market prices to anybody that came along (these were not mine and the money was made to 'disappear' from the sales) to give everybody the chance to obtain the 'nice shinies'. I must admit, I sold quite a few thousands, to those willing to pay.

Now, you can mine the stuff. I know of someone who says he has mined about 10k of SD.

The chance is there for anybody, willing to put in the effort (whether it is mining the SD or Trading to afford to buy the SD/items on the Forums).
