Having been an architect since creation (of the universe not SWG) i feel that the best way they could have implemented the new furnishings loots is that the schems are way more rarer, they can only be used by a master architect, perhaps with the help of some other profession, and the schems are permanently theirs once they get em.


I know this will make them hyper costly but as an architect i yearn for something new to do wthin my profession but also yearn for the ability to be able to make something that no-one else, or atleast very few, can. As these items dont have "quality" no one architec can make them better or worse than any other architect. They should introduce decay to items in my opinion. If i make a couch out of poor quality resources it should fall apart really quickly and need replacing (at worst a really bad sofa should injure anyone sitting on it).


Pride in my chores is all i wish for. More things to make, more need for quality and my name in lights over the Coronet Spaceport entrance.

Ok.. It shouldnt be a suprise that SOE fixes Items that were meant to be Limited/Rare. They have done it before with certain weapons and armors tied to loot.
If a schematic has a limited use funtion of 3 .. honestly does it really make sense that it is intended to make 3k items from them??? If the Devs Knew that the Bestine Paintings were being made into Schematics I am pretty sure that they would be adjusted to.. Limited Use is that way for a purpose.
However with this current situation I aggree with you all 100% the items that has been chosen for this " Needs to be Limited" status is pretty rediculous. they are almost all items that we should have gotten as a permenant schematic anyway.. So In my opinion they should be switched to being Permenantly learned when you get them. and save the "Needs to Be Limited" status for items that truly warrant that status.

I'm assuming that devs are still attempting to adjust the server economies to fit their original model of less crafter independence and more inter-crafter relations.

If the Bestine paintings were strictly limited to just 3 uses, that would greatly increase their price which would undoubtedly add to the perception that architects are greedy cheaters. While people would be able to get friends, guildmates and "compassionate" crafters, most likely the prices would rise and the supply would drop. On the other hand, it becomes automatically more difficult for developing players to compete with masters. It's not exactly easy to spend so much money on schematics at one time.
