Out of curiosity and hoping something to look forward to, how many Architects out there are Millionaires, and how far up the tree did you have to go before you hit that number?

i've been a master architect since friday. so thats like 5 days. i'm still at 0 credits and broke and just trying to make enough credits to pull my harvesters up.... about 5k each right now i think.



although i have given everyone in my guild a medium house for free.... that might have something to do with it. then i didn't check up on ho much stuff was worth and sold a medium house for 20k.......



but it doesn't really matter. i'm still hurting for money all the time. and when i have money i have no resources.... thats the problem with being an architect.

For cheap stuff I give to my PA friends for free nowaday, for the more resources intensive stuff I sell to them at 1cr per resources used.


I charge my regular(average architect) price for strangers.


almost have 2mil(not a lot actually compare to others i know) with a 650k order pending

No PA or anything, but I use 2 accounts.

HAHAHAHAHA. DUH! I guess if you don't mind giving stuff away for free. I hope you are outfitted in a full suit of high-quality armor, wield the best weapons available, and have all the food you can eat. Otherwise you are being taken advantage of. No one in my PA expects free houses. I give them stuff for cost while I need the XP, and after I'm master, we'll work something else out.


Benn architect since launch, not master yet (one branch to go), hit 500k two days ago.

A million in cash, no. Actual wealth, yes. Most of my stuff goes to my PA. I do however have everything I would want and can buy anything that comes up that I need. This post is best suited for the weaponsmiths or the dathomir fighters, as they are making the real bank in the game, not the architech. What you do get as an architech is seeing all these buildings in the game that actually change the game itself and you can say, hey I built that.

I think this is funny looking at all the I dont have money posts..The all this comes from people selling at silly prices without thought..I have had well over a million in the bank for a few wekks now and thats with giving houses to people who joined my guild the first few weeks (no guild feeding me one guy and me worked it all)..Charge what the stuctures are worth!! It may even be a bit late for that now that a large # of people have what they need..I held things till they sold for the prices i set and worked well for me..



I have 8 other architects with houses that are less than 500 meters from me now so this is a flooded skill..

Got close to 2 mil now. Other then Harv maint I haven't bought anything in about two weeks. Last major purchase with a set of Ubese armor, which I don't really wear in combat, but just around town for looks. Laser rifle cost me 10k but that's a small house right there so not much lost.


I really hope we don't end up making vehicles, I want someone else to do all the work and let me use all these credits I got laying around.If we end up making them...it'll just more money to sit in the bank and more time clicking away hundred tousand resources

Just cracked 3 mil tonight, it's not especially difficult. Simply mining, if you're pulling in 50k resources a day, that's good for 100k-200k of profit daily.

On my server, there's currently a HUGE demand on PA's. People that want them now are literally offering 600k for them.

First - if there's any justice in this galaxy Droid Engis will get vehicle construction if any proff does(makes sense to me and we have the added reason that we need something to make us useful - Show me somebody truly rabid for a Mouse Droid and I'll show you 1K folks looking for a house)


And if you truly are sittin there with 1Mil or multiple Mils, maybe you should possibly consider having a sale on your houses for awhile. Sure the market says you sell stuff for around 3-4Cr per resource used, but when you need to borrow a friend's house to help store all your creds, and you have giant Harvestors that pull up Ore so fast the planet threatens to implode, you just might be able to lower prices a tad bit.

Boinky, I'm currently relatively wealthy because low deed prices on our server drove a lot of Archs out of business, & the Arch bugs made over half the masters quit. As players of all types started to make loads of credits via missions, we have a situation where there's a ton of Weaponsmith/Armorsmith/DE, or figher classes with 1 million credits + each & nothing to spend it on. A lot of them have been buying heavy harvs/fusion or PA halls to use as houses.

Because of the low number of architects, every single master I know has been absolutely SWAMPED with requests. Along with upgrading my own harvesters, and doing work for friends, I can only take 1 PA a day. I probably get around 10-12 PA requests a day, not to mention heavy harv/fusion/medium harv/large/med house requests.

I'm not jacking my prices up & laughing at people. I'm trying my best to fill existing wants of customers & I'm getting offers I can't refuse. The consumers are outbidding each other to get what they want now. When you have multiple millions, what else do you do?

What a bunch of weird posts.


First, if he's making money, splendid. I think the price hike is not bad(keeps him on top and everything realistically recieved) However, if I got on your server, I could be master in less than 2 weeks, thus totally defying everything you worked for and defeating the purpose. Too many people, too little to do.


If anything, this whole Architect procedure is stupid and anyone with that much credits has too many credits. This system should be balanced, should offer more.


Therefore, everything you worked for, everything you have(all of you) is absolutely worthless because it's for nothing but to see a bunch of the same crap out there, for a bunch of people who will be what you are in 2.4.


My point is this.. what good is all these damned houses and buildings.. if it's not cool to see, to explore, to recieve.


Houses should be destructible, they should be able to be attacked, people should have to get security(other players to do it.) Architects should be more crafty and brawlers more useful.


I hate to see people talk about being a millionare or not.. it's all stupid when the game is as easy as cake.


Try being creative and meaningful. Make the game worth while. Pockets in this game are for humbugs.. you want to make onlymoney, go make some real stuff in real life. (Not directed to anyone, just an idea for goodness sake.) If you want to make money, express something with yourself.. roleplay. Its fun and cool.. and will make this game(however limited it is) much more enjoyable and meaningful.


A game should offer fun stuff to do.


I c all these shops and I think.. why so many of the same useless things. I want to compete! I want to destroy there business(in the sense of making better products) but there just isn't any way to do it better.


Braggers are nothing . when I see someone do something crafty.. like beat someone in business deals.. now that's cool(no cheating).



Anyways, hope to see you guys(if you are on Naritus). Good luck playing. Foremost, do not take my words to heart, but please listen and understand.


thnx
