I think the bronzium thing is they just aren't doubling the drop rates for bronziums yet. Shards obtained from bronziums are still going to trade in for twice as much Shard Store currency. So nothing is being nerfed in terms of what you can buy now.

GW drops ARE getting doubled, so your Shard Store gear farming is still getting a buff.

No the shards from bronzium are considered "accelerated characters" so they won't be double value. At least I'm pretty sure I read that right.

I am re-reading this and trying to figure that out as well. It does seem to imply that they won't be getting the double conversion. If so, that is concerning and hopefully will be fixed soon.

No, I think I was right the first time. Original rate characters are getting doubled in store, it's accelerated rate (ie, double shards) that is not.

So there is no bronzium nerf. They are original rate (shards not getting doubled) so they will have their conversion doubled.

This is how I'm reading it:
The accelerated rate characters now give double the shards from any location except bronziums.

If you farm Jedi Consular from a node, you'll get 2 shards (if he drops). From a bronzium he'll only drop one shard.

So his node farm will give 30 SSC (2 x15) but the bronzium drop will only give 15 SSC. In theory everything that goes towards shard shop currency from bronziums only has half the value under the new system (until the later fix, fingers crossed).
