The patch notes state...
"Cartel Market
Lightsaber crystals purchased from the Cartel Market may now not require AA, However the Blue Barrels and Hilts traded for data crystals from "level" vendors are not Cartel market items. Nothing is stated in reference to those items that "became" AA required with 4.0. I say became because they appear to be the blue barrels and hilts we used to get from the Mod vendors just now with Mastery instead of [Stat]. We could install these before 4.0 easily, now we need Artifact Authorization to do so.
Some things seem will be fixed, a good thing indeed, others may not be (going by the Patch notes). At least some problems solved. A positive result in part.
(I can hope that Bioware's Patch notes this time are incomplete.)
Despite the title of this topic, I hope tech support reviews the posts in enough detail to realize that the issue is NOT isolated to crystals, as shown in my previous post with screen shots. To me it would appear ANYTHING blue/purple might be affected. Several folks, including myself, have various items we can't use anymore - such as earpieces and implants, all the way up to mods and armor, hilts etc.
Let's hope this new patch does it, cuz i havne't played since this happened. Don't think id' come back either frankly.
