That's exactly what will happen and why the dev's set it up that way. All the 13-15 year olds (no matter what their actual chronological age) swarming to the next greatest thing will get bored with the higher end requirements and move on to the next next greatest thing, leaving the rest of us to some serious gaming.

They may be high but they're all doable in a day. I just got novice tailor, was getting really antsy towards the end though. Going to take a break from crafting then get Droid Engineer next.

The market could never support all the people who want to be architects and droid engineers. The XP cost is a way of keeping the number down. Even with it, we are/will be facing a glut of those professions. Who is going to buy up the 1000s of R2 units they are going to produce to power level? Artisan appears to be the 2nd most popular starting profession. Many people will get sick of th low prices and move onto or take up other professions. PA members will dominate due to a strong loyal customer base and alot of financial backing. There will be room for independant operators, but in the more remote/less famous cities. I haven't been to Tatooinine but I hear its pretty busy, because alot of people want to got there. Talus is pretty quite because its not AS we known.


I suggest taking up a 2nd profession and not try to power level so much(for everyone). I'm enjoying it.

Personally I'm not interested in money or selling things as an Artisian. I choose Tailor because I want my friends and Ito look good, I'm taking Droid Engineer because the idea of having Droids follow me around appeals to me.

My favirote part about selling an oufit of clothes to a customer is figuring out what will look best on them, not the pay off. So in my point of view I can't fail, as long as I can make things for myself and anyone else who wants them I'm doing a pretty good job as an Artisian.
