Intresting that you bring up Shadowbane, I remember when that game started how big all of the guilds where and it seemed that all the sudden because of how big they were they all went into civil war. Now I left about a month after I started, but I think right now your right I think they are big, but you will soon see them getting smaller, if only because to many people together never seem to work well together.

The thing is you can pretty much beat them at their own game, find a few friends that will help you out, get them to place the harvesters for you. Also I am finding that once I build my own house that I Am going to go and work on other skills, and maybe train some more people. I think that one of the big things about this is going to be patience in the artisan field, due to the fact of supply and demand

The game has seems to have really gone 180 degrees away from the casual/solo player

I am trying hard to level and i go out to some res patches and there or Level 4 harvestors up. I see that there are now several Masters...thats in about 3 DAYS!!!

There is no way i can compete with PAs that have over 50 harvestors or 100 lots at there disposal

The lot limits are also dragging me down... I cant have a house and a factory and still get all the resources I need to level or make anything.

I have made money but it all seems to just go right back out to buy the resources I cant aquire because of the lot limits

I cant do what i did in Beta and place structures and put a FOR SALE sign on them..or place them and let people walk inside to decide which style they want...

Then there are all the harvetsor and factory bugs...

It just seems all the changes have really sucked the life out of the architect profession...i mean a tailor only need some fiberplast and chemical...they can place a factory and have a large house...

Nauf, for once I seem to agree with you. Large PAs were formed just so crafters could accelerate their xp rate. And I'm talking Shadowbane large. The size of these guilds just isn't neccesary, and I actually think that we'll see alot of splintering and reduction after awhile. It's also causing login problems for way smaller guilds. Don't know why they have to be so large.

i also still believe that 15 lots really needs to be the limit. I've got seven havesters and a small house on Starsider. When they fix power, I'll have to down two or buy power. It really despresses me to go to Naboo and find a PA with 50 ore extractors, because you know that the architect or crafter using all that ore is not learning his trade, they are just shooting up it. To that fact, I am glad my PA is small. I get to learn everything about Architect I didn't in beta.
