I've had my fare share of crappy harvestors and I'm horribly in debt to some friends just to try and get my buisness going again. The architects should join togeather and work to bring up prices. I'm with you ValiantRavenor, we shouldn't undercut when that only leaves us poor. Architecs are one of the most important professions in the game. Without us there wouldn't be that many resources floating around. Lets make the people respect us and pay us what we deserve.

Hate say this again, it will never happen. One will never get an agreement of all the architects out there to one set price for its items. You’re just going to have to live with that.


The reason for this is the economics on one server is not the same as it is on the others. An example of this would be Bloodfine to starsider to Infinty. One might be able to get the same price on Bloodfine as you can on starsider, but will never get that on infinty. The main reason is the money is just not in the ecomony.


Second, an architect cost for the product differs from on architect to another. Those who mine there own resources will never be able to compete with those who buy it.


Third, we all have our own way of price out items. Some charge a cpu way, others charge what they fell the item is worth. As long as we make 1 credit more then what it cost us to make, we are making a profit. We might not be making as big off a profit as some are making, but its still profit.


Finally, who sets price to who is overcharging and who is undercutting? You, ya right. I'm all for charge what ever you want or what ever you can get away with. Just be glad you don't have compete against me and some of the others out there who charge a 3/4 -1/4 of what your charging and still pulling in over a million credits a week.
