No it's not a 'I'm cancelling my account' or even a 'I'm quitting the profession', but I want to make this very clear to any devs that happen to be reading this. I am not having fun with this game.

I spent the entire afternoon crafting wall modules by hand (because I need the experience, and because factories no longer give me that experience). I spend around 80K of my creds buying resources (because the harvesters I own are not nearly enough, and because ore was completely gone for most of last week on my planet, naboo). I spent 2 hours waiting to use a friends factory (because my factory magically disappeared, no reason, no warning, just doesnt exist anymore). I spent PAINFULLY slow hours clicking crafting screen after crafting screen in terrible Keren lag, which seems to have been shifted from Tatooine on purpose, and as far as I know, wont be leaving any time soon.

It is now 5:48pm, and I have been putting together this house from 1:00pm after I got back from uni this afternoon. I promised someone they would have themselves a large house by this afternoon, and I tried my darndest to keep that promise. And about 3 mins ago, I failed in putting together that large house. Everything I did just went up in a puff of smoke. No warning. No way I could have prevented it. *Absolutely no way I can anything back from my efforts*.

This is not fun.

Please fix this profession for me. I dont care about the economy, or the fact that my profession is worth less than half of a weapon, armor or droidsmith. I can handle that. I can handle the buggy furniture and apologising to customers for how useless my products are. I can pretty much handle that. But please, PLEASE fix the critical fails. There are just *so* many problems with this profession that should have been addressed by now, but I think I could possibly be having fun if you would just allow me to keep SOMETHING after a random integer says I'm about to fail. Please. Please. Please.

Not having fun.

Feel for you. It is the opposite of fun being an architect in this game. To the excellent points you make I would to add & be considered by the devs the instant death red cons they spawn on our harvesters on top of insane resource requirements in our specs which make us the least viable of the crafting professions and tie us to a constant harvesting, huge time & $ losses when resources swap and the joyous side effect of being unable to get enough of the same type of resource to meet specs requiring this, we often can't even get to them to suffer our losses and re-deed them.

and the person buying the house probably thinks they should get it for free now that you are late too

feel for ya, ive lost a large one too
