I been looking at my vendor and been wondering why business is not very high. Well, one is its hard to advertise as just a Master Artisan. Can't quite put myself out on the Map without loosing skills i perfer over Merchant.


The other thought i had was, with so little destruction with the decay, yes i know, decay sucks but well, it is also important for a player economy. My vehicle businessdried up, not from to high of price, but so few vehicles are destroyed and everyone has one. I haven't even got an inquiry for a price in the last two weeks. So there isn't a glimps of hope of a rare chance of a possible sale. This also goes with clothes, and armor. I havea piece of armor at 1/1. Why replace it when it still does its job and never wears out now. I had a failer in trying to repair it. Yeah, its a bug, not an exploite. Yeah, maybe i am exploiting it, but, i can't afford to shell out cash when my income is based on fighting when i wanted to craft for a living.


This is what i think should be done, this is my opinion, i could be wrong but it is my thoughts. Decay needs to be fixed so that things are destroyed like before. Yeah, i will lose my armor, but the guy who made it will have a return customer. Vehicles, when repaired should not go back to full heal everytime, they should lose part of there total ham each time its repaired so it will cause the person to buy a new one, instead of waiting for that durni to eat it while you are incapped. I never leave mine close to the lair, i like mine to much. That would cause quality to be a bit more important. Repair kits need to have a greater succes rate as to not destroy items so quickly as they do. a 93% one shouldn't have3/5 failure rate. that is just redicules (can't spell). Food, which is getting revamped needs to decay faster in the tummy for it does not give enough buffing for the time aloud except for a rare few, and yes, i am happy they are revamping. Yeaaaaah! I know crafters would hate this but, there should be a use amount on survey tools, crafting tools, and crafting stations, causing them to have more sales on them. Power ups need revamping, not all of them are wanted. they need to be fewer types and not random. Maybe having the stats better experimented on and well, hmmmm....i will have to think more on that one to see a possible way to go on it. But it needs a change. the maintence on equipment should be the amount of credits you throw at it, but more of a repair kit to repair the home or extractor or what ever it is, and the money put in keeps up the opertation costs. That would give artisan or architects, who ever gets it a new recurance of income. furniture needs more fuctions that just laying there on the ground as paper weights. yeah, they are to decorate your home but, well, hmmm.......at least let us put food on the freaking tables and sit more than one on the couch and hang our pictures with out having to use stairs. not all of us wanta huge home. put stats on items that are sub coponents (once again, i can't spell) so that we know what we are getting and using. Some stats might not be needed while others are. if you need an example, as any architect who makes crafting stations, they will tell you the horror of that fun. We need stats that make sense and tells us what we are buying instead of saying that this item was really good when crafted but you still up a creek to know what it means, or we have no stat on this item but the level of crafting that when into it is vital, but we want you to guess what it was.


i guess i am saying, we need some fixes, not at the elite class, but at the begining class too, which inturn will help out the elite class. infact, any fix done on one crafting profession, should be looked at and maybe be applied all the other crafting proffesions, yes even the hybrid ones.


ok, i am done. spam me and yell at me all you want. i don't care, we bats, err, craftersare easy targets.


Happy New Years Crafting to You All

Excellent idea for vehicles. Most everything else degrades some when you fix it. You can keep bringing you car to the garage to get it fix but one day, they just won't be able to fix it.
