Re: ME3 financial balance seems to be completely ruined

Yes, of course anything could be grinded, but that's require Citadel DLC to be finished, or at least started, and I prefer to do it before the final assault, just to keep the idea of the last stop before going into unknown.

My idea is that, like for ME2, Bioware done only half of the job, moving free DLC gear to stores but forgetting to add more money.

@draconiam, yep, that's the point. They do half the job every time with game balance. Including removed multiplayer and lots of its leftovers still in the game.

Irony is that now, with all DLC and items included, I play LE more much more closely to fresh ME3 when it was released in 2012.

@ELevinI made a blog once saying that when I was starting ME3 LE Bioware made and planned the third game originally as a multiplayer game with single player components and it still shows considering that thw value of the War Assets is cut by half and everyone refers in the Galactic Readiness map as the Reapers winning in all fronts (the same conversation if you didnt played multiplayer) with no single player way of countering that. Naturally people blasted my blog as simple fan hate saying things like a monetary import bomus would be lore and game breaking as Shepard was in Alliance lockup and had his items confiscated (with all of them conveniently stashed in Vancouver when the Reapers struck).
If people keep defending Bioware we will get more Arrival like content (after doing the biggest side quest in ME2 the company remembered that the Reapers themseleves needed to more addressed and that they needed another excuse for Shepard to not be doing anything when ME3 came out), I hated how they whitewashed they Alliance.

@draconiam, if I'm correct, the multiplayer part of ME3 originates from that standalone multiplayer game you talk about. I saw some screenshots of it 🙂

I agree with this as before, some people have complained about the overpriced dlc weapons and such, it's frustrating how they haven't done anything regarding this despite multiple post about it.

The Arena is not a valid option for those who want to enjoy the game the way it's supposed to (Playing Citadel DLC before Final Mission).

And grinding from missions and such its not enough, i also had to do NG+ just to get the mod gun to level 10 for the trophy. It's ridiculous and they have to do something about it.

More late thoughts to add to my first post.

Money could be grinded at Armax arena, no problem, especially for those who played ME3 mutiplayer.

The problem is, for the best experience, all possible characters should be acquired, meaning Citadel DLC is best played very late in the game, which makes money grind almost pointless - not much missions left to experiment with weapons.

To me, the best option is to increase the amount of money player collects trough the game. In this case it would be possible to collect items steadily, and Citadel shooting range would be useful again.
