Can someone please explain to me why architects are selling their products at such ridiculously low prices? Based on what I am seeing (and competing with)on Wanderhome, architects are crafting and getting about 1.5-3 credits/unit of resource invested. I mean come on why the heck are you selling your products so cheaply? There is no decay in the game assuming you continue to pay the maintenance fees which means once people get what they want business will steadily decline since nothing needs to be replaced. Throwinto the equation the critical failures and lost product......Ino longer spend alot of time creating structures except to meet the needsof our little group and as a favour to ppl referred to me by members of our little group. Its really a shame when I can make more cash selling the resources I mine than I can turning them in to a product.

It's because we CANT sell for more because nobody will just sya NO and put forth the effort to sell at 5-6cr per. Plus there will always be undercutters that ruin the market for others.

Its not that simple. There are fundamental reasons why there are so many architects who sell stuff for low prices. Its not that by some chance all the dumb people went into architect on all the servers.

also add in the cheap cost to maintain a harvester and the fact most people make a lot of money off of furniture sales.


So houses are sold at cost and you make money off the continued sale of furniture and the word of mouth that brings.


then again there are the PA's out there who have hordes of players out fighting and doing missions making buku credits and funding their Architects that way. So everything that is made is priced to sell.

Shaddam: That is true for any crafting professions though. PA's have their own weaponsmiths, armorsmiths, etc etc. It doesnt help or hurt architect anymore than it does to other professions. However, architect is the one whose economy is nonexistant.
