This is the stupidest thing I've seen done to this game in awhile.
Way to make yet MORE uber 1337 phat lewt campers richer, and richer, and richer.
So glad I'm a craft monkey now, thank you SOE.
"Insert schematic, item ready for you to charge 100's of 1,000's of credits for it, thank you please abuse my skills again in the future."
Sorry guys, but it's completely and utterly USELESS to have these stupid items drop as schematics, when all it means is they'll have to find me, so I can make it for them, to sell for a LOT now.
Why the HELL did they just make MORE uber 1337 phat lewt in the game. What a waste of resources, this stupid loot revamp. Waste of time, waste of MY time, waste of resources that could be directed toward better things in this game than making the loot campers richer.
And, here I thought gee - how refreshing to have new loot that's NOT 300k to get a new couch, when you're sicking of seeing the same 4 couches in everyone's house.
But OHHHHH NOOOOO.......that couch will now be worth 100k. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
We got ripped off. What a kick in the **edit**. We need new schems, not useless 1-time schematics that Combat Joe wanders into our shop with, and charges up the **edit** for on his trade forum.
Again, this is the stupidest decision ever. I'm tired of every new thing in this game costing multiple 100's of 1,000's of credits. For awhile, they actually had it right. But, they managed to destroy it, as they always do.
Horribly disappointed with this game. I should have made my loot schems into factory schems last night, that way i'd be the ONLY PERSON in this ill-managed game to NOT charge 200k for a couch. Instead, I get single use schematics that I will use for personal decoration.
I will NEVER - repeat, NEVER - use one of these schematics for anyone else. EVER. I refuse to contribute my skills so that someone else can make MILLIONS. I won't do it, too many already do, and I'm tired of the profiteering.
I guess I'm just posting this to say - I'm pissed that we got treated this way. And I, for one, will NOT contribute to INSANELY priced loot - regardless of how much the Devs want that to perpetually exist in this game.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Hmmm system wide architect strike? Who is with me??

I knew i shoudl have made that schematic for the console with the screens last night! Dang it sony.. Normally I try to be constructive in my post, bu tthis is about the dumbest $#%&*^ thing you have done in recent history. These schematics shoudl have been permanent and not 1 use only in the first place, now we cant even make a manufacturing schematic out of it for factories! Thanks for nothing, so far your loot upgrade is a total loss.. Here are the things that are wrong with it...
A.) Loot frequency seems to actually be down unless you are killing CL 5 mobs which is up. Espically in JTL
B.) Level Approiate Loot was a total lie, I am still getting crap on CL30ish mobs I wouldnt use on a novice profession
C.) Furniture Schematics that require architect tools, but tailor or smuggler skill
D.) A master Architect level chest that has finally been added, that was added as a Master Artisan item (this is likely a bug i know but you missed it)
E.) 1 use schematics for the furniture, yet other professions have had perminant draft schematics added in the past year (our last was player city stuff)
F.) and now you further SCREW us by taking away our ability to use the factory to make the items... LAME LAME LAME!!!!

I am ![]()
Seriously, I will NEVER learn one of those schematics for anyone else's mad 1337 profit. I won't do it.
I may as well just jab myself in the eye with a Gaffi stick. Why am I in this game to make OTHERS really, really rich? I guess that's my purpose now, without a doubt. I am here to get used. I am here to make others rich. And, I'll have no part of that.
I don't know about an architect strike (a complete shutdown is no fun). But, I'm definitely never touching anyone's schematics for these new loot drops.
I will have nothing to do with it.
My name is plastered on that thing, shouting to all, "Warryyr made this for this guy, so he could sell it for millions - when last week he sold itfor 5k!"
Not touching that with a 10 foot pole. I appreciate my customers and am considerate of their desire for new stuff, with a mind for their financial situations.

Which item requires this?
The glass globe, or whatever it's called.
It's the thing that's smoking - next to Nym in Nym's Stronghold.
It's also the thing that will now cost 2 million credits at least.

I think yet again we have an example of what SOE intended to happen verus what actually happens.
My guess is that it probably went down like this: SOE probably always wanted the loot schematics to be single use. Yet they implemented them wrong so that it allowed for you to make a manufacturing schematic. So of course people went ahead and did so. Apparently either SOE didn't think we'd make manufacturing schematics or they just implemented it sloppy and failed to remove that option from the loot schematics. When people made factory runs it caused the items to beabundant but SOE probably wants them to be uber rare. Then they have to decide to 'fix' it through a nerf so it is the way they wanted initially or leave it the way it was implemented which isn't how they want it to work. So they decided to fix itafter the fact which amounts to a nerf at this point. Which will of course piss of players.
Never really been intended for ANY limited use Schematic to be made into a factory Schematic.. really..
D, luv you man, but where do you come up with some of this from sometimes?
That's about the lamest excuse for a nerf I've ever heard. And if my other PURCHASED schematics are effected in the manner (which I haven't been able to check yet) then why not do retroactive removal of pre-nerf weapons. You don't think they do more damage to the economythan a damn tapestry or couch?

Dvnce, has SOE said that explicitly?
