Exchange Removed From The Game

A new developer post on the Defiance site informs players that the Exchange system has been removed from the game. Taking it out of the game came as a result of unforeseen and irreparable technical issues. The team has implemented a number of fixes in an attempt to resolve the problems, but to no good result.

We want to reiterate that we have done everything we could to address these issues without having to take this step, but, ultimately, we must continue to make ensuring an excellent and stable player experience our primary concern. So, we will begin the process of removing this feature from Defiance as soon as possible.

There is an FAQ on the Defiance site to answer the most common questions about the removal, regarding items purchased or currently on the Exchange.
