I had a couple quite funny enounters recently...
1. I'm outside Theed spaceport and i get a mail...
Mail: Can you help? I'm a wookiee, but whenever i try to wear armour I get a container error.
Me: What armour are you trying? Wookies can only wear (tell him 3 types)
Mail: Ok, I'll try those in future!
2. Helping a n00b who'd been referred to me by a guildmate. He turns up at my shop, and looks at me...
Him: What's that armour?
Me: Wookiee Hunting Armour
Him: Are you a Wookiee?
You gotta laugh...

HAHA I know this but after a few weeks the number of questions slow down.... I walk almost any time in my suit but. the tells are nothing compared when I do put the Jetpack on .... most greefers who try to challange me when I fly around in FULL RIS with jetpack
dont have the jetpack any more (its from my friend) actualy think the amount of noob questions about RIS Jetpacks and casual Armor is out ragus and most people dont read any forum at all made a special E-mail for all questions now on RIS ..... first tell them the price to make it and tell them to go to the Post RIS Fact & Fiction post.... most of the times they dont replay.
I also added a WP from the Far end of Yavin where I tell that there is a shop selling them..... when the troll me back with a tell Im having funn , no one can build a house on Yavin

since im only a novice armoursmith i aint tryed the mas title but i have been a md and a mws as a weaopon smith i got tells like
"can you make me a free gun im new"
"sure what type"
"a flame thrower"
"i thought you said you were new?"
"i am"
"i wouldnt class a comando as new"
"so can i have the flame thrower?"
atleast with the master doc title it was i'll give you xxx for a buff was offerd up to 200k for a buff once yhanging round c-net as all the other doc's were bussy but it just seems and crafting prof or important proff gets loads of people expecting you to give them everything yeh i understand how free stuff in the start can help you as a freind gave me my first set of compisit and money but its just the people who have a high proff then want free stuff because they are them.

Him: Can you repair my armor?
Me: Sure
Him: How much will it cost me?
Me: I repair for free
Him: Man, the last master armorsmith that repaired my armor destroyed 3 pieces. Are you any good?
*I get into a long conversation about repairs being chance...
Me: Do you still want me to repair your armor? I can tell you what happens after each piece and you can decide if you want to continue.
Him: ok
*trades me one piece*
Me: where is the rest?
Him: Did that repair go ok?
*I figure out that he is going to trade me one piece to repair at a time* DOH!
It turns out I had great results on repairing his full suit (yes 18 trades).
Nice guy, if maybe just a little paranoid. He tipped me 5k for great customer service! (hardest earned 5k of the game - hehe).

LOL. Well, I too have had that problem before, Eclipse isn't as bad as the others, from the stories, but I've had the occasional "Can you make me some armor for cheap, I'm new." Then when I inquire as to what "CHEAP" is, it's around 500 credits. Yea. I no longer have my MAS title up. HEHE

I got called a noob for not being able to make a full suit of stun composite in 10 minutes 
Once i felt so bad for this guy i was trying to craft a peice of comp for (my first peice EVER) a bicep, that i read the schematic wrong, and used too few resources. So instead of having 2 segments come out, i did this
Expirement
Make Schematic
#2
(I only had material for two segments)
-put in my oven- (factory)
Ok itll be a minute or 10.
....
....
....
EMAIL
Your factory has run out of materials! 1 item has been made!
-sigh- /tell Sorry, i mismade my schematic, its my first peice and I underestimated the resources id need. I need to reharvest (go go survey!).
he was cool about it, i felt so bad. lol

The incessant tells from strangers and guildmates alike was what pushed me to all but abandon my AS on one server to play combat characters on other servers. A victim of success I suppose.

I had just made MAS, and, fool I was, I had decided to go to the Mining Outpost on Dantooine with my super cool new title up...
"Hey, do you know how much a Voritor Hide Segment is worth? Do you wanna buy it?"
"ummm.... you could probably get 6k off the bazaar for it... and no thanks... ty anyway"
*smashes ctrl-p*
*sets title to Expert Heavy Swordsman*
Lucky me, I made it outta that one with only a few scratches... Now the only time I turn the master title on is when I see an armorsmith in training, and that's only to advertise that I need AP bad enough to risk a flood of tells about armor repairs, and the needs of new players who can't seem to find a mission terminal

I get this one a whole lot.
"hey can you make armur?!?!??!11!?!?"
Um, yes... Why do you think I have a master armorsmith tab up?
"Yes, I can. How may I help you?"
"i want some uber 90 everything for a suit. how much do you charge?"
"I'm sorry, but that is impossible..."
"oh do you have any cheap composite armor? like for around 50K a suit?"
Ummmm... Why were you asking for those stats then? Surely you expected to pay more than 50K for an entire suit of this?
"<Vendor location>. I have some really cheap pieces on there, but I am afraid I cannot sell a suit for 50K."
I've yet to have a customer explode because of this luckly...
"o okay"
<Silence>
Vendor sale complete. You have sold Composite Armor Suit for 260K.

Oh! I forgot to put this in the previous post!
While waiting on the shuttle one day in Coronet, there was a guy in these brightly colored, expensive clothing, shouting something like:
"HI!Can someone give me a really good suit of composite armor? I can't afford one"
I examined him, andI noticed he had several master combat professions... Hmmm... A begger, most likely...
I then realized with horror, that I had my master armorsmith title up!!! I quickly turned it off, but I was too late!
"Hey, ******! Can you make me some composite armor? Good stats"
"Uuhhhhh... I don't have my crafting resources with me right now, sorry!" (Which was true)
<Pause> He shouts again...
"You know, I wouldn't go around asking for really good composite armor for free... People aren't going to give begger free sets of composite armor, with really good stats, unless they are very generous, or insanely nice. Either way, it's not very polite to go around begging for things, when you can just as well earn them using those master combat professions that you have..."
<Pause> He shouts again...
Guy next to me: Maybe if he didn't spend his credits on all those expensive clothes, he would have enough credits to buy that armor."
Everyone: /chuckle

Yup, here we go.
Just last night I was in my town as I always am, running between my workshop and my factories, and of course had my tag on for some reason. Out of nowhere this guy walks up in a full suit of comp and here is how the conversation went:
Guy: "Isoha"
Me: "Yes?"
Guy: "Can you make composite armor?"
Me: "Yes, there is some on my vendor and I have a run completing tomorrow."
Guy: "How much is it?"
Me: "I sell full suits for 250k"
Guy: "Ohhh, expensive I am a poor &*^$."
Guy: "I only have 40k."
Guy: "I got my suit for free."
Me: "Is your suit almost destroyed?"
Guy: "No, it's brand new, I got it for free."
Me: "Then why do you need more?"
Guy: "It's for my friend I feel sorry for him."
Guy: "I got my 80% for free."
Me: "You could buy him a suit of Mabari, 20% for 13k"
Guy: "An ARMORSMITH gave me this for free."
Me: "Good for you, see ya."
As if I care that someone gave him a suit of comp for free and just because he says that I am going to somehow feel compelled to do the same?

ok here goes mine im a MWS and just started AS-3104
im trolling along checking my harvestors and outta the blue i get a tell:
guy: hey do you make guns?
me: yes i do.
guy: i mean custom guns?
me: depends on which i dont have all the gear for every one of em premade.
guy: im looking for pistols with a visible scope?
me: um yeah i can do that.
so i make him 5 assorted pistols with a large visible scope, hes ecstatic and i promptly forget ive change my title too novice armorsmith so i could keep gathering minerals from my harvs.
guy: oh hey your an AS?
me: yeah but ive just started it only as 1000 atm.
guy: oh kewl here.
he goes to his house and grabs 50k grind grade hides some sharnaff plates a couple rancor plates and some other items mostly for weaponsmithing then he tips me 50k for the 5 guns i made him and tells me goodluck.
just goes too show not all peeps are total airheads. of course i never fly my master tag unless im trolling for work or if it turns on automatically for some reason. usually i run with munitions expert up or novice scout so people will ignore me.
