So, the cybernetic rancor is not a CM item... any opinions change?

So much hatred and salt a few days ago when it was datamined due to the fact that people said it was going to be a CM cash grab.

Any opinions changed on this?

Can understand someone feeling upset as it isn't an Ops drop. But at the same time, this is different than a CM item. And I can see a reskin of an Ops mount being okay personally. (Edit to add: I mean, may be it's okay since people have to do at least a little work for it and it's not just a cash grab.)

Nah. Raid mounts are all about the unique look. Casuals getting reskinned hyperpods, titan6 containment vehicles, and wings isn't cool. That extends to Rancors, of which plenty of variations already exist.

I think people who care about this would be less upset if Boss No. 10 in the Eternal Championship was any challenge.

Unless it's bugged it won't be though.

Not when it's directed at people getting into HM FPs/SM ops, no.

Maybe it'll be easy, yeah. Regardless, I am curious whether any of the people who made the assumption that this would be a CM item and accordingly flipped out are reflecting at all on not jumping to conclusions.

I didn't assume that it was for the CM and I am no Nim raider but they still should stay in those raids. Including rancors. However, if I had made that assumption it wouldn't have phased me as a personal rule with this company is to expect the absolute worst case scenario as it's usually pretty close to the truth. They lost my trust a long time ago.

I think its slightly better, at least its not a cartel market one. Depending on the difficulty of round 10, I might find it acceptable.

It's less of an insult than being a cartel item. Not sure how much less until the 10th boss comes. It's probably not a big problem. Other MMOs of this type usually allow you to solo raids that are that old so I find it being a rare drop from a moderately hard solo encounter to be fine. Although HM/NiM ops do need some appropriate fresh new specific loot and I'm not sure if those deco's are good enough.

This is a great point.
