Multiplayer needs a crafting system

I would really like to should be able to exchange the credits I earn in-game into real-world money...

No, you can't melt/create cards in MP because Andromeda Points...

Facetious.., I had to look that up!

Well, it's still early in my world, so my sense of humor may be off. In fact, my sense of humor might well be off all the time...

Anyway, I more or less meant in my first post what I stated in the second one: you can't melt - let alone create - cards in MP because Bioware would really like you to buy Andromeda points. I thought that was rather obvious...

*scurries off for more coffee*

I wouldn't mind being able to sell my things.

Yeah! See? You should be able to exchange some of that stuff for real cash and retire, no?

Ye gods, no. I hate crafting.

This game is not Warfarme.

this game is never going to be Warfarme.

When I play a game, I want to play a game, not to have downtime on crafting. In MMO, they try to find as many things for as many people to occupy themselves with, so they have crafting, decorating, outfits... plus, if they add cards you can dismantle, this means the cards will start repeating, and that means RNG will get even worse. Overall, crafting can go love itself.

Nope

I respect people who want to keep it simple and just play. I think the ability to trade back some cards for credits or other cards wouldn't be too complicated and it would really help with the item grind (unless you are 100% completionist, in which case this system wouldn't help). But if you just want some specific items, being able to "melt" characters or guns you didn't value to get there would be nice.

You're right, I think it would even turn into an mmo-like grind if they introduced it in Andromeda, more so because of the RNG-system.

Working towards something to craft can be just as disheartening. Just replace 'credits' with [insert your resource of choice] in the phrase "380000000000000000 credits on 95% garbage" and you're there.

I do see the tiny problem that the system would then switch to dropping duplicates, just as it does in SP, so that getting another rare/ur you don't have becomes virtually impossible.

It's not that I don't like the concept of being able to craft specific gear. I would actually love that and wish Bioware had opted for some such version: where you can craft/buy gear or kits directly. But they didn't. Melting/crafting and the current RNG system just don't mix, imo...
