There is no way in hell I'm raising my prices more than I have to. Sure my prices will likely go up due to increased cost in being an AS. From bigger factory runs. To more hide, to greatery diversity in armor apperances to factional armor blah blah blah.
But I wont tack on a bigger percentage than I feel is rightly justified for my time. Hell if it were dirt cheap to be an AS i'd lower my prices. For starters I'd sell a hell of alot more. As it is. i'm not the cheapest AS on Bria. But I'm alsofar from beingmost expensive.

Hello Fellow KD/Dizzied by nerf bat Armorsmiths,
This is the most insane thing to happen to this game since initial launch.Crafting, one of the 2 core components of this game (other being combat) is being dumbed down to the point of Kindergarden art project (NO, wait you color then cut out, so that is two steps)
THE ONLY WAY THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE IS IF WE CONTINUE...I MEAN EVERY DAY...SPAM THESE BOARDS WITHOUR OUTRAGE. Only posts with high volume and response are even bothered with by the davs given their bust=y days trying to figure out the next nerf.
I know it is earily but I call upon the new Armorsmith spokesperson to start a thread, asking for a list of 5 issues that NEED to be changed to make the Armorsmith profession even a consideration. Keep the List tight and please be realistic. Put and end date on it of say Friday and then give it to the devs.
In the mean time, we Ban together and post these issues EVERY DAY. If we all demand the same 5 things, we will have more success then if we throw hundreds of ideas out there. We just keep posting the stuff we agree on. The more the DEVS see it the more they have to take it under advisement.
OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE HERE IS THAT THE SOE DEVELOPMENT TEAM DOES NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES OF THE GAME THEY CREATED. THEY (AS EVIDENCED BY THE STORY ARCS, PATCHED, NERFS AND "UPGRADES") DO NOT KNOW WHAT KEEPS US PLAYING, OR ENJOYING THE GAME. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES OF THE GAME AS A WHOLE, OR REALLY THE GENRE, WE WOULD BE ASKING TOO MUCH OF THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES OF A SPECIFIC PROFESSION, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT DOES NOT SHOOT A GUN ON A REGULAR BASIS.
So that is my suggestion. One HUGE post we all respond to with our 5 MOST important demands of the CU. We then support this post by responding to it once a day with more then /bump. That way we show unity of purpose, specific requests, and a high number of PAYING accounts.

Could not have been said better.
I have been reading the specs for the new armor and I have 2 important questions!
1. Why is there only 1 bar to experiment on?
It was nice to have smiths making slightly diffrent armor
2. Why does the old armor resources need to change. It makes no sense to me!
I also need to rant a bit, what are the DEVS doing to this game? I thought they had a feel for what the players wanted and were going to roll with it. For about a month or so before the CU talk started the DEVs where rolling out nice patches really making the game great. In my opinon if they send this live they are taking a huge step backwards. They are stripping the game of the Star Wars feel as well. Now they have some silly so called Wizard Effects when you knock creatures down and some really stupid sounding blaster effects. They need to stop and listen now before it gets to late..
I can see it now, they will put this CU live, and when almost everyone is hating it and wanting to start canceling their accounts, they will start a rollback to the old system. What a beating this could turn into.
Keep the old system and add a few things from the new system. Modify and give the combat professions balance.
There is no need to recreate everything from scratch.
Please do not turn this game into EQ or WOW.

blah, blah blah....."I AM ARMORSMITH", "I AM ARMORSMITH"...keep telling yourself that and maybe u might become one. Getting sick and tired of listening to u. You are not an armorsmith, just some part timer that thinks he knows what he's talking about. U sound so foolish when u speak. Obviuosly, your just some wanabe that hides behind a ghost account so u can stir things up without anyone ever finding out who u are. My guess is u probably belonged to a few guilds and been kicked out of everyone for being so annoying.
Everyone is intitled to an opinion and u dont have to sit there and be a jackass to everyone. Now grow and try to act at least 12 years old. And for god sakes learn to make ahalf decent sentence.
As Doctor Laura would say, "Now go and do the right thing..."

Otherwise my strategy is /cancelAccounts

Ya know, im not one for raising prices, but unfortunately with this revamp, thats whats going to happen. Im not doing it out of spite, but out of the time consumption that this new revamp will take. Since we can no longer make armor in factory crates, im going to now be doing 8 hours days on weekends to make my armors and put on the vendor. I dont know about the rest of you, but my time is worth money so in turn, you can expect customers are going to see that. There might be a few who keep their prices low for a bit during this, but in the end, they will get tired of being stuck using their crafting tools and will follow suit as well.
Resources dont bother me, ive already bought all but 1 type of resource, and ill mine that the next time it comes along. But, the time is my biggest price figure. Because I was able to do factory crate runs, I was able to keep prices on my 80 kin 52 base padded armors at around 200k a set and the same for my composite armors that were 80 kin 10 stun 72 base. If I have to do this by hand, i can forsee these prices jumping by as much as 5 times the current price scale. Not something I want, but something I will do to make up for time lost on my other chars.

what will get their attention more is if nobody makes armor anymore after everyone quits 
I'm trying hard to get their attention, but sometimes the devs like to retreat to their cave and not listen to anyone.

Keep fighting the good fight mate. We have your back. I sent a private message to Blixas well over this. Lets hope he actually takes time to read rather than arbitrarily delete.
