Architect Archive

I'm amazed at the amount of whining by all these people who are complaining about undercutting and cheap houses and stuff. Why dont you people just stop whining and try to cope with the situation. Its a player run economy so its unpredictable and people will do what they want. People undercut your price? Lower your price if you wantsales or sell less! Its simple!! Its called competition and free trade. People determine their own prices. You have to realize there is a certain point where undercutting will cause that person to lose money and after a short while that person will have to increase their price or drop outta the buisness, simple as that. You all complain that weaponsmiths and armorsmiths can charge higher prices and people dont yell at them yet when we architects try to raise our prices to even half, people yell and scream at us like we're trying to rip them off. The term that applies here is supply and demand. People WANT and NEED weapons and armor, people DONT NEED houses and a lot dont even want one. People arent willing to pay high prices so lower your price or dont sell anything.

The way I see it is theres always going to be someone cheaper than you, so you can either lower your prices to maintain sales or you can keep your prices where they are and lose sales and hope your loyal customers come back. All of you people who complain about undercutting and everything else, maybe you should find a different profession cause its not going away.

That was productive.

*clap, clap, clap* well thought out and well said. everyone's way too greedy to begin with, and if you want money that bad, there's more than enough skill points available to go master architect, artisan AND weapon or armorsmith.

well, maybe not so productive now that I read it. But Im tired of having to read all the complaining posts when I do my sweep of the architect boards. I'd just like to see less of those. And Im trying to make everyone realize that being an architect comes with a lot of crap
