I still don't think certs are totally dead. Not until the devs say they are. If the devs want open mining by all combat characters, it's their game, and they're entitled to make an unimmersive 3D chatroom with great graphics if that is their desire.

I've seen a number of people interpret rather oblique dev statements as "shooting down" harv certs. Not for me. When they say "we won't ever cert harvesters" that will be the end of the topic for me.

Well I did, but I really don't think that the devs will place the resource influx to all crafters into one profession, espacially since that is a novice profession. After all the reason for them getting rid of miner was the dependecy of "All combat professions depend on all carfters which depend on miner". And Miners only attraction and content was "make credits".

I also don't put much faith in that poll taken by Guruweaver, though I don't doubt Guruweaver's intentions in taking the poll. I think the subset of folks who use these boards are not representative of the overall community. And I think that opponents are much more likely to get mad about the idea and come vote here from other forums.

One might as well have posted to people buying something "Someone has proposed an idea that will increase the price you will pay for xxxx. There's a poll going on there." If you aren't concerned, you probably don't come here and vote. If you are, you probably do. Maybe you would come over and vote if you were a roleplayer and didn't like the idea of combat guys mining. But there aren't that many of those.

Well I put enough faith in it, just because you have to remember that Artisan being a novice preofessions that the majority of elite crafters are based off of there are a lot of elite crafters that because they have artisan skills do have input into the profession. The elite crafters are the ones most affected by this.

I mine most of my own resources. I buy good resources that haven't spawned recently. I do use my combat toon's lots to mine with my artisan on admin.

I do the same thing lol, except I adminmy Master Doctor/Master Pistoller toon to them because my Artisan toon is a wimp and can't defend himself lol He is a (Master Art/Master Merchant/Master Politician/Entertainer 0303). I use the lots form both.

What are they going to do about cross-lotting? I haven't heard.

I havent heard what tey are doing about cross lotting either, just the "rebalance of character lots" statement TH gave. One simple solution would be limit them by account. I for one would not be bothered by that...but I dont run any characters on other servers and some do (legitimately)

With the majority of people having more than one account according to the most recent SWG official poll....though I'm not sure if that was just a poll of those who participate in the boards...which would be a biased subset...having more than one account, a profession whose only content is to "make credits" isn't something hopeless. I run my crafter mainly to make credits lol.

Except that account character(miner) has a tripple nested dependency and ALL crafters will be dependant on them for 95% of what they need to craft with.

There are a lot more crafters than there are miners, the difference is what would attract prople to miner lol.
