Thread: Question for Wednesday, May 5th

Well who is supplying the waypoints to the BH or Commando?
If the BH or Commando have novice artisan, they deserve the resources, just not as much as someone with survey IV or MArtisan.
If the BH commando DOESNT have any survey skills, and they are being supplied with waypoints, blame the Artisan supplying the WP for not charging enough, if any, for the info.
Can we have the ability to sell waypoints?
does SWGCraft supply coords for resources?

No SWGcraft only lists what is available and the stats. There are sites that do provide the WPS but they usually charge a RL fee.

I like this. I move we consider this question. Do we have a quorum with a consensus? hehe.
Take care,
Yes! This is the best way to really find out what they are doing without wasting weeks sending probing questions. We can revisit the other questions after we get a status like this from the Devs.

I really like the certification idea, but I can foresee problems getting it. The people that have already invested large sums on machines, and are using the resources to buy the uber equipment for their combat only template will raise he11. Even though they've not invested any skill points in the artisan/surveyor profession, they are still reaping great benefits from the resources.
My MDE/Master Artisan cannot harvest meats, hide, or bone though, becausehe has not invested any skill points in the scout profession. Nor can he take on a "Night Sister" for uber loot because there's not enough skill points left over for anuber enough combat template. It just seems a little one sided to me.
My biggest competition is from combatants or people using their lots, selling resources, notthe averagecrafters. When a guild crafter has 30+ lots at his disposal, THAT is what screws up the economy for the small guy. When you see people selling bulk resources on the forums with millions of units per resource, where do you think they got it ? Not from 10 lots, thats for sure. And you better believe they can sell for cheaper than you, as the combat guildies can support any mainteneance on their lots easily.
So while the combat guys/gals are out slaying the evil minions, and you're sitting there clicking away on craft next step, both with harvesters churning out resources, guess who's raking in the credits.
I'm not complaining about competition. I complaining about the uneveness of the skill point investments

I vote for this. If we get a vague answer, we can ask very specific questions in future, but I think we should try this at least.

Yes, some artisans are probably supplying waypoints. Thats how they get their friends and/or guild members to place their machines.But all anyone really has to do is look to where other harvesters are sitting. They're there for a reason. So plop one down next to them and see what resources come up as available. Bingo ! no artsan is even needed then. And it's not rocket science to figure if it's burning, then the machine probably isnt being tended on a regular basis, so go where good machines are and mine there.
But yes, Im open to other ideas. And bringing back the farmer and miner sounds good. But Runesaber said they would not add anymore professions aother than what is comming in SE. (he said this in a message to DEs awhile back when referencing "Droid Handlers")

I guess with SE on the near horizon, we'll know soon what the new professions are. I'm positive one will be "Pilot". Possibly another will be "Shipbuilder". I seem to remember some talk of this during the vehicle discussions here when they first were rolling out. An yet another posibility is "Droid Commander" in some form. Other than those, I have no idea what they may even possibly be. I guess "Farmer" and/or "Miner" could be in there. But I agree that it will take more than certifications. And these discussions are where it all begins 
So I vote for the second iteration of the question. And iffuzzy talk and evasivness come from them, we ask for clarification .
While they're at it, maybe they can fix this stupid forum !!
sorry double posted again :/

As time was tight, I posted this question: What steps are being taken to make Master Artisan a more valued and unique profession, whether it be through harvester bonus/certifications or through more valuable items (not including any items in the upcoming JTL expansion)?
This thread should be considered closed. I will start a new one for our next question.
Stay tuned for the answer!

When will they answer the question? Is it today(the 5th), or will it be the 6th?
It took a couple of days last time. Maybe Friday/Monday.
Take care,
Thanks!
