My sales have shot down the drain. It all happened the day JTL came out. My sales are going out the airlock!

(Ha-ha-ha... Funny pun...)

I'm hoping to master and get my vendors up and rolling by the time people get their feet back on land. ^_^

I still sell plenty of armor to the Corvette and DWB people. Other sales have dropped quite a bit though.

there is something new, so players are doing that.


as soon as they master the space proffs and do them for a while they will go back to the groundgame and play with your armor again.....

Now I've got a bigger problem from JTL... nobody wants to come down and hunt hides!


We have a good wooly hide spawn and the price just gets higher and higher trying to get people to take a break from JTL and do some hunting to get wooly hide. :S

Anyone who wants hides hunted send me an in-game email when shifts are good. i'll buff up and go get several thousand of whatever you're looking for.when something is in shift include planet, creatures involved and give me a couple days.

the rest of the servers, sorry it's hard enough to work with 2 elite combat and blue glowie characters, 3 or more servers would mean no social life.

Phased out MCH.... Theyve nerfed my entire profession. now wt.f do i do? We play online games because we enjoy the immense level of detail and diverse options and the ability to do a near-infinite number of activitites and professions. with every balance more and more of our options are stripped away and the game is slimmed down and streamlined. its currently basically a bugged console game. if i wanted to play a console SW game, i would play the KOTOR series because the knights of the old republic games are fantastic. even lego SW for my son's gamecube is more enjoyable at this point.

My sales have dropped significantly over the past month or so.


JTL Beta + JTL Launch + World of Warcraft = fewer people needing armor


Actually, I've also noticed that the types of armor that are selling are different than before. A few months ago, I could barely keep my StunBlock line on the shelf (39% stun / 67% base). Today, it scarcely sells at all. Folks are buying the really high base stuff for loot-whoring purposes, along with the high-kinetic, low-encumberance stuff for FS grinding. PSG sales have also slowed to a trickle.


Hopefully things will shift back the other way in the coming weeks and months.

It's probably too early to tell yet - but my sales seem to have slowed somewhat over the last few days.






Phrozen and I were talking about it, but I have a hard time judging because I moved from selling all of my armor pre-sliced to selling everything unsliced.


That doesn't really tell you much, I know, I just thought I'd throw in my 2cr in case you were wondering about me.

of course I wonder about you mate.

I am sure things will pick up again. It is a shame though that Smithy's don't really have a place in space. (do they?)

last few days where good again dont now how but last week I sold like 3mil a day what is normal 7mil

sunday it was up to 9mil again and today 6,5 mil

Im especting that 80% kin and low Enc armors are going to be popular because the people in space need cash and space isn't getting to mutch so the need to grind cash down on the planets so armors are needed so smiths who rely on PvP armor sales need to make some good PvE armor also
