That's a shame, had a few more destinies to finish.  Looks like DDO is passing up on some DDO points being spent,

I really don’t understand the Turdbine decision on this one.

I mean they were making much more money off TPs from destiny grinders purchasing them for their actual use then they ever will be when they are working as initially described. Christ I have purchased over 10 in my ED farming on my monk just so xp grinding was not as bad as it could have been.

I guess I had hoped that they would come to the realization that WAI would have been a much better change than to actually fix them and never sell another one again (other than testing to see if they are broken again).

So…. “Yes we are going to fix this exploit that is making us money in order to make the item work as described” said no Turdbine employee ever…..up to now!

Just wow.

It's been posted many multiple times across a couple of weeks, so I'm just trying to figure out what made them suddenly take it off the market now.

Turbine Manglement decided, after long pondering and lots of dead brain cells that in the end it was an exploit and should be treated as such.

It's fixed in U17, everybody knows that. So they made sure it couldn't be exploited until the fix is here. Now I really want to be a fly on the wall when a Turbine marketdroid explain to Manglement that the number of Shears sold in the Store dropped by 99% between now and after U17, and Manglement asking for explanations.

That reallly isn't a decision I understand. They have those enormous threads pleading for a way to gain XP in your main destiny, and a nice object sold in the store to do it. All the real powergamers have capped their destinies anyway. It just loses them money and hurts the casual gamers. Dumb. It is one of the cases where they should have not listened to the pay to win whiners and just fronted it out and said it is working as intended. And I am saying that as someone who hasn't even bothered with the things.

I just don't really see why they feel they are so game breaking they have to nerf them. If anything it encourages the people who really care about such thngs to go for more and better twists and so extends playabilty. Derp.

Yup, all of this.  I'd only heard they weren't WAI about a week before they were pulled.  *Just* when I thought it was going to be bearable to acquire a full set of twists on another bunch of toons...

For a brief, heady time I was having a blast levelling destinies.  I was actually playing content that wasn't HoRB, ID or UQ to get my fate points because it wasn't painful any more.  Now it's back to the same old, same old.

I'm with Terebinthia: I genuinely Do Not Understand what's in it for *anyone* for things to work the way they do.  If anyone has a plausible theory as to why it should be better for Turbine that we do our grinding in an off-destiny, I am all ears.

Well, since Turbine seems to be 'fixing' whatever exploit exists, can someone explain what was going on?

There was a thing with Shears that let people get more stuff that was good.  Now there are no more shears to buy because turbine decided that having stuff that was good was actually bad.
