Another expansion, another zone, another disappointment.
I did not start undermine week 1. I was tired of the unplayable launches and “if you don’t take off and abuse bug mechanics to get renown higher faster asap”, you miss out… Even if i wanted to… I couldn’t because “character does not exist for 24-48 hours” pretty much every patch this expansion. So I go later… and now I am doing undermine… Miscellaneous Mechanica doesn’t exist… I am approaching revered with nearly all of the 4 factions now… and I’ve gotten 2 of these… total… you need what 113? total to get all of the merchant stuff… So do i need to pay for 3 accounts to ever have hope of getting them? What about S.C.R.A.P? Its still buggy today… cant click it for 30 seconds at a time when there’s nothing to kill… need to click it 5-6 times when it is active for you to start doing anything and then you miss finishing it because no one else is playing. What about the Surge pricing… there’s an event… it ALWAYS expires before you can fill the bar because no one is playing… Can we please just stop punishing people who don’t immediately rush on day 1 to exploit? This is bordering on a vanilla grind simply because of your own mechanics fighting against the player… Please do some adjusting so those of us who are late to the game don’t have to do twice the work…
Why is anything that requires effort seen as “punishment” ?

The mounts are also tradable, so its sucks either way
You have to do the mini disruption events to be allowed to click
You just have to get a reward box, so the 10 reward counts as well
No bugs or abuse anywhere lol

playing on day one doesnt automatically mean exploiting, and just because it requires effort doesnt mean you were punished. sounds to me like mmos arent for you.

because the effort is out of my control. If people aren’t playing or doing the event then I get punished or can’t even get some rewards. And after you do the mini disruption events when it becomes clickable, it sometimes takes 5-6 clicks to get it to start shoveling, and by then you have more interruptions incoming so if at least 4 or 5 people aren’t there doing it. Its 100% impossible to fill the shovel bar.

Good news, the prices of the Undermined BOE mounts have dropped from 3m to 1.4m on Area 52, Moon Guard and Stormrage.
I fully expect the prices to continue going down because more folks will be hitting 25 mechanica and throwing up mounts on the AH to try to make some gold.
Also, if you want to get mechanica without RNG you will need to max out the darkfuse solutions and another cartel rep for the paragon boxes. Paragon boxes either give you the mount or mechanica. In my experience, after getting the mount, you get 1-2 mechanic per paragon box.
Sorry the SCRAP heaps suck but in general they seem to be fine now. Outside of killing the Heap rare, doing the weeklies and the world quests, I stick to killing rares. Nothing seems extremly bugged, just really laggy if people are killing the world boss.
As someone who got Darkfuse rep to exalted solely by doing SCRAP events…so…many…scrap events, I can say that it is entirely possible to get the highest reward chest doing them solo, so long as you activate the bot to help you out. You only need to get to 350 for max reward, the 500 is just for a chance to spawn the garbage rare.
Here’s my advice for Mechanica. Kill all 10 rares, loot dumpsters when they spawn. Once you’ve killed all 10 rares, log onto an alt and rinse-repeat. They’ll drop. I promise.
none of those things are punishments
