Dear MindArk
Rather than giving a vague statement, after 2 months. How about ensuring your loyal player base that their financial investment will not vanish based on your false promises and mistakes.
ie. That your "new items" will hold the same market value as the armor you coaxed us to deposit & grind with.
Do a rough calculation to see what each mission stage was worth at market value. Then design item stats based around approximate current market values.
In any other situation i would just assume this would be the case, have patience and wait to see the situation rectified with optimism.
But dealing with MindArk is definitely a unique case. No confidence or faith in this company.
If MindArk ensured the "new rewards" held the same, or very close, market value to the armor...
I would hold my hands up, thank MindArk and give credit where credit is due.
However right now, another carrot on a stick is just irritating. Combined with the possible outcome of getting some 3k ped pea shooter instead of Improved Imperium armor... is infuriating

warranted.
Unfortunately, this situation requires that these missions be disabled
until they can be removed in an upcoming Version Update.
However, the various turn-in item items required by this set of
missions will be included in new missions that will be implemented in
Version Updates this year.
Apologies for any inconvenience this issue has caused.
Any issues or inquiries related to loot or balancing should be addressed to MindArk by submitting a support case on the official EntropiaUniverse.com website.

Just a quick explanation for those unaware, this is the timeline of events which occured in my situation (similar for others):
Day 1: A mission chain is released on Cyrene which allows you trade materials for sets of armor
Day 3/4: I hear about this new mission chain and head for Cyrene. I pull out the debit card to deposit heavy and grind hard to loot my required materials.
Day 7: Just finishing completing all the required materials to trade for the Improved Imperium armor, and also gathered some towards modified set...
Also Day 7: The mission NPC is shut down and materials stop dropping in loot.
Day sixty something: "We hope to make an announcement soon" - the same response since the day it was shut off.
This has rendered all the materials i gathered, which should have converted to around $1,500, now useless and sitting in storage...
So i have made the decision to sell all my hunting gear, not out of spite, but out of sheer loss of fun and love for the game.
1/3 of my total assets frozen for two months with no update is just not cool in my books.
I may poke around the game a bit to trade or burn out some (L) storage toys. But for me, holding any value in assets long term is not worth it.
