Hi all, just signed up.
Noticed alot of things that irritated me in the new VU. Everyone knows about the armor now being crap. But I also noticed that refining materials is alot more expensive after 7.7. I used to buy a refiner, use it, then feed it to the TT again only seing a few pecs lost. Now several PEDs are lost every time I refine something. This VU sucks in my opinion. Only good thing is the new weapon stats.
ouch, how many materials did you refine, just wondering, i know i used to do about 2k, and it didnt decay for nothing noticeable, maybe a few pec like you said.
or did you try like 50k hides? or stones? i know the ignot refiner always decayed a bit for me, even with a 2k refine, its the hides one that didnt decay much at all
new features have the tendency to bring up old bugs…
the material refiner was nugged in the beginning from 7.6 too …
report it i would say 
I refined only a couple of hundred hides and wools, and it decayed 5 ped! Very annoying, and a totally stupid thing to add without telling people about it. It will just piss people off.
We saw the same bug at the outset of VU7.6 they killed it a few days later, same thing happening now for sure. As already stated old bugs have an annoying tendency to reappear during new VUs for some reason…put in a support case.
