I WROTE THE POST BELOW BACK ON 6-23-05 AND EVERYONE CALLED ME A CONSPIRACY NUT.

HOW ABOUT NOW ?????

They are intentionally NOT fixingcrafting bugs.

Does anyone really think that it is just a coincidence that all these crafting bugs appear without getting fixed at the same time as they offer us all of these RESPECopportunities.

THEY WANT US ALL TO GET FRUSTRATED ENOUGH THAT WE GIVE UP AND RESPEC INTO COMBAT PROFESSIONS.

Then, when there are very few crafters left, they can announce that due to "lack of interest incraftingprofessions" they are discontinuing them andcreating an NPC vendor system forbuying and trading.

I hope I am very, very wrong about this, but I do not think so. My signature should say it all, I am a Armorsmith/Tailor/Merchant and my other toon is a BE. My crafting and vendor business is dead at the moment.

Watch and see.

You might be correct, all we can do is to wait and see...

On a side note, I found a post with the Trader skill tree. It seems all the same stuff is there. I'm not sure about BH schematics and RIS, but the basics are there that we get now. Just have to wait and see what gets to live.

lol, I had this funny thought that they are actually having us Beta test the version they are putting to console. The NGE is not for the PC, they just want us to work the bugs out for them.... lol, I can only hope

i ain't gone yet. but with the new hide stuff, i see armor prices going up, way up

I admit that I may be a little bit of a conspiracy nut, however, I am also a businessman in real life. Because of my business background I recognized thatthere would be pressure placed on the SWGDev Team from the bigwigs at SOE to reduce costs and/or generate new revenuein order to increase the profit margin.

I had a feeling that the Dev team was having a tuff time supporting 32+ Professions and that if they wanted to scale back support personnel, some "streamlining" of the core system would have to be done.Obviously, the less populated proffesions would be on the chopping block first; crafting and entertainers. The NGE has allowed them to accomplish this,reducing the number of proffs down to 9.

To address the issue of "new revenue", the Dev team has taken the mosy appealing aspect of the game (Jedi)and made it available to anyone who has not purchased the game until this point. Effectively, this will bring in a surge of revenue for the Holiday season.

So, yes I may have been appeared to be just another "conspiracy nut" back when I wrote that original post back on 6-23-05, however my prediction was based on sound business practices for the age in which we live.

Having said all that, I am deeply sadened to see that "base" customer satisfactionno longer has any influence whatsoever when it comes to a business model in 2005.

I loved this game and I have been here since launch day, the complexity and depth of this game back in the beginning is something we will never see again.

Oh, I almost forgot, I do not think the NGE is the last of it either
