GEAR DEVALUED!!
As most of you who are actively involved in the BETA know, much of our gear has been devalued.
I sent LEGO a letter in protest.
Let's discuss it here.
What do you guys think?? Was it a good move to make the other gear worse instead of giving more armor and imagination with the faction gear??

Happy Friday,
When I posted this http://messageboards.lego.com/en-US/showpost.aspx?PostID=2914515
it NEVER occurred to be that LEGO would respond to requests for better faction gear by DEVALUING the other gear we already paid for! For example, I had a hat that gave me 3 imagination. Now it’s only 1! Obsidian armor that was 3points of shielding is now worthless at 1. Tanks that when purchased were 3 +3.. and are now 1+1! Can I have back the money I paid for this stuff??
It ended up costing me most of my remaining coins as I attempted to fight a dragon with substandard gear. But I was already there when the gear was changed... Now, I am just about broke. I had over 82000 coins. This was a horrible way for LEGO to respond to a suggestion for improvement of faction gear.. Totally unacceptable.We all bought items in good faith to try to accomplish our goals in the game. We worked for hours for accomplishments that would give us better gear. WE followed the rules, and didn't try to get around them. I had a total imagination potential of 27. It is now down to 17 or so. I can no longer help a slow jumper get the Nimbus station Imagination brick. I had a total armor potential of 21. Now it is half that. How can we operate in an atmosphere without trust??
How can you downgrade the value of items we already paid for? They are all pretty much garbage/junk now. There is nothing cool left! I have been testing in good faith since the ALPHA, and I have more time in game than any non staff person I know. I have delighted in helping the kids make their achievements, and in making a few of my own. But without the coins, or the gear I had just a few short days ago, I do not see much potential to do that anymore.
To tell the truth, I am ready to CANCEL my pre-order and walk away forever. You really let me down, LEGO.

Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
I haven't actually noticed this...
Then again, I never had THAT high of stats.
I second the problem as serious - however, I won't go so far as to revoke my Pre-order. The game still rocks in my opinion.
But I hope that enough people do get upset about the devalued gear that LEGO is forced into making the gear like it used to be - and then some.

Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
I noticed that actually,it got me mad to. But then again they put the rank 1 gear higher. What's lego trying to do? I think your e-mail might be a (little) too much but if you edit some things and send it in i am sure they will do so,something.

Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
I have not revoked my pre-order, but I am really upset. I ended up fighting the dragon with 1/2 the armor I had when I logged off last week.. and it literally took 5 hours of getting smashed to make the achievement. I lost almost every penny I had, and now my gear is worthless!
Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
I just saw it too, items aren't good anymore. It makes it all more difficult. However, this is beta and it might turn out to a better version for the official game. Just put this away, you may be happy that you are in beta.
Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
My opinion to the whole thing is:
The new title of LU could be:
Con Lego Universe
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Over priced and now they are fiddling with faction gear. Con company now. They should stick to the brick.

Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
I don't think I can play LU, but lego was this crazy to do that?!?!
For once, I'm glad I CAN'T play the beta...

Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
I think that is a sort of answer that they always use to reply to us. However, they might put it back if too many complains come.
Re: GEAR DEVALUED!!
No, now they have made further cutbacks in life points and armor when rebuilding.
I guess it was because a few people on the closed Beta LMB wanted to look cool and talked about how the game was too easy, to make themselves look great.
