  Anyway, lots of good information posted. My feels are that Leadership is different now, but still extremely useful.
  
  Cryptic could've taken the opportunity to nerf it into the ground, but they didn't. I think it's because their metrics show that it's overwhelmingly being used by regular players to supplement their income, and not abused by bots.
  
  So the title of this thread is wrong.
  
  Checkmatein3 has shown how the AD gains can be similar to the current level of Leadership, albeit level 25 is needed. And I'm pretty confident that the added Refinement stone bags are a boon for the profession.
  
  All in all, I'm pretty happy with the changes.

  I only do leadership tasks once per day so this doesn't mean much for me.

  I opened up 300 of the Refinement bags.
  
  212 White
  86 Green
  2 Blue
  
  So about 70%/29%/1%, which still puts the expected value of the bag at over 4k AD.

  Once you get to level 25, you should be making about the same amount of AD. There's a new 2000 AD task that takes 24 hours.
  
  Plus there's new tasks that reward resonance and other refinement stones, so that's a plus.
  
  I think the adjustments were pretty fair, all in all. I certain like the idea of adding in the tasks that reward RP stuff. That's a substantial boost to the profitability of Leadership.
  
  EDIT: With the changes, Leadership might just become a "check once a day" profession for me. Which I'm fine with, honestly.

  
  Thanks for the enlightening info. That doesn't sound all that bad indeed.
  All the doom and gloom was starting to make me think it would be much worse.

  Welcome to the preview forums. It makes Mos Eisley look like the Romper Room.

  Old Leadership Boxes still dont give any profession resources or items above level 20:
  
  [A Barrel of Goods]
  [Large Chest of Goods]
  
  Opened 100 of each and not a single Mod6 item/resource.

  Yes I know, but I took the task with the Enchanted Coffers because I think many people will do this task because of the peridots and the 4h duration.
  
  I opened 350 Resonant Bags
  
  251x Minor Resonance Stone
  98x Lesser Resonance Stone
  1x Resonance Stone

  
  Are they bound?
