Ok.. I am looking for what our community sees as the current most Pressing issue that pertains to our professoin... I pretty much know but want it to be substantiated by everyone here... Even though this summit next weekend is 100% focused on combat I will still be preparing a report to leave down there...

So .. please I want to hear what you have to say... but be as specific and breif as possible.. please post in this format...

ONE SENTANCE SUMMARY...

Small paragraph explanation..

Then if you still need to a full detailed explenation...

I also am looking for what you think .. would be 1 easy implemented thing that would help our profession .. and again follow the same format as above...

I'm torn between 2 issues right now.

In no particular order:

1. Custom Furniture styles/colors. Being able to select different shapes and colors of furniture, like tailors do with garments, would be lovely.

2. Lack of decay items. Lamps and candles are nice, but the decay on them isn't working correctly. We need some sort of repeatable business.

Repetitive business

Decay in some sort should be implemented. There are a lot of proposals, some from me, some from others, http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=architect&message.id=31801for example.

There are so many ways to bring us repetitive business (I have an idea which would be loved by artisans too) and stop things like cross-server-lot trades the same time.

Furniture colorization, implementation of a natural decay over time for furniture items, structure factory using two lots and being so beastly huge, ore mining units not crating, the inability of the population at large to furnish and decorate their interiors due to item limit numbers vs. storing resources, the want for additional furniture, plant and decorative items to craft, as well as different/new housing and structures.

Thank you for your hard and patient work on behalf of all of us.

Consumable revenue stream.

Need either things that need replacing with our existing products or new sought after consumable products.

Furniture Coloritzation.

Easy to do, and it will open a short term market.

Either give us structure decay and add in"Maint Kits" useable by anyone but crafted by us, or give us some new standard structures to sell! Its been a year, and we still have only the same home options we had at launch! We need shops, Malls, Taverns, Casino's, Hotels, Different garages, better PC Banks, etc....

More furniture and a consumable market.

I'm fascinated with crafting furniture (as opposed to structures) and I'd like to be able to offer more of it.
I'd also like to be able to craft a 'customization kit' with limited uses that faded over time so customers would have to come back to me to buy kits to re-color their furniture.

I'd also like to see more 'matched sets' of furniture. Currently only the 'orange' and 'master' furniture have any kind of consistency amongst a set. I'd like to see some chairs that match the couches and couches that match the chairs and tables to complement it all.
