Artisan Archive

I've done a few posts discussing the implementation of decay rates and the problems with supply and BAM I'm hit with scores of negative comments about artisans and the crafting classes in general. What the heck. Why do some players view the crafting classes with such hostility? They would rather use NPC vendors and pretty much have alot of generic items rather than deal with a player. There have even been posts on the discussion boards to nerf crafters or provide them with single planet licenses. Where is all this nonsense comming from? Is a player driven economy so hard to deal with?
