after they add the alert system. anyone think it faster to make money now?

Witch currency? C-Points, Q, Resources, Influence, Snake Bucks, Tokens?
Some are easier, some are the same. Resources tend to accumulate a bit faster because people sell every item they cannot use rather than break it down into Components. However, they can disappear just as fast because it is SOOOO expensive to remove even a mid level Mod from a socket.

Globals seem to flow in a little faster now, but they're, equally, less useful, so its hardly an issue, and again explainable that more items are being sold ad not broken down for components/skill boosts

Yes. I'm finding it much easier to cover my retcon costs now.

As in Cryptic making money?
I haven't made a single dollar after Alert's came. Didn't do before Alerts.
Ingame money? Less than before, maybe because i don't play as much.
And it's easier, you don't have to leave MC, just queue to Alerts. Takes few minutes and you can repeat it. Repeat it. Repeat it.

not talking about real money we talking in game money that you earn when you defeat the bad guys

im lifetime member dont care about crypitic point that much i get monhtly cryptics points

Not faster or easier. But I also don't melt junk for crafting anymore, don't buy leveling gear for alts (have nemesis gear), and there is no 'elite SL gear' for level 40 (can get UNITY gear myself fast enough).

Not getting globals faster then before, but TBH, theres nothing to buy for globals.

Grindonite is another story :/
