so i hit 1/0/0/0 BE last night (i love BE) and decide to make a kwi, so im at my craftin droid in theed keepin my buddy company grinding doctor out and a newbie (cdef, starting clothes, no badges) comes up to me and says...
"hey can you make mea pet?"
me "yeah i guess, wont be that good since im fairly new to bio engineer"
newb "ok, make it a rancor"
me "hehe, no can do, im still really new"
newb "alrighty, can you make me a gaping spider"
me "cant do that, do you want me to type up my current animal list?"
newb "yeah alrighty"
(i type up the animals i can make at 1/0/0/0)
newb "ok make me a squall"
me "yeah alrighty"
(makes squall with some ikopi DNA i found)
alright, here it is, would you like me to program the attacks?"
newb (pissed) "**edit** MAN THIS IS A SQUIRREL!"
me "dude...you asked for a squall"
newb "YOU SAID IT WAS A SQUILL!"
me "well either you take it or leave it"
newb "make it a huurton"
me "i hope you die, do you want it or not?"
newb "grr, fine"
(secretly programs commands)
newb "next time dont be a sucky bio engineer"
/add ignore newb
BUT! i won this battle....whenever he sends the pet to attack anything he has to type....well....something i prob shouldnt say over forums

lol. What do you mean you can't make a rancor yet. GEEEZ! I bet you were also going to tell him that he couldn't control it either. Hehe. I think we all get these from time to time.

Funny, brings back the magical "kan u mAke me Rencar" post, we would have little to laugh about without noobs thow. WHat stories would we have about Dath if we didn't have some Dumb *** hammering the enraged rancor lairs or taking pop shots at Nightsister Elders that were just far enough away that they probably wouldn't have bothered the group.
I can say I never sell pets to people live, cause they will drive you NUTS! But in fairness, I know equally as little about some other crafting pofessions. But the BE/ CH combine is enough to kill a man.
I used to try and sell my pets to people instead of "realesing to wild" = death to my pet ***aside*** (like the fluffy is going to live with your great aunt Ruth who owns a huge farm, he will be so happy there.)
and it was an impossible nightmare and they were cheap too, I just wanted them to live, nothing more, but it was always those Noobs that had interest, not enough to know that they couldn't handle, trade, train, tame, command, or feed the thing, but they usually meant well.
Now all my pets go straight to DR. K.

I have one too 
the setting... I'm in Coronet buying up all teh good meat on the bazaar...and I get a tell:
Player: Hi
Me: Hello
Player: Are you a BE?
Me: Depends on what you needa BEfor
Player: Can you make me a pet?
Me: sorry I don't make pets
Player: Aw.. But I only need one for decoration
Me thinks (Hmm.. decoration pet...ok fine I can do that)
Me: Ok I can do a decorative pet
Player: Can you make me a Kimo?
Me: a Kimo ... ok...
Player: And make it Non-CH
Me thinking (Everytime I've made a kimo ages ago it had a min level around 30, besides... you asked for decorative.)
Me: Umm..sorry Kimos have a minimum level and can't be non-ch
Player: But someone told me he has a lvl 0 one!
Me: Well if that's true, the guy's either lying, or the pet is a bug/exploit
Player: So you can't make one?
Me: Well...if he really does have one ... it's an exploit
Player: So you'll make me one?
Me: It's an exploit
Player: I'll pay good money!
Me thinking (hmm.... why do people always say that....)
Me: Using exploits isagainst the Agreement you click everytime you play this game
And that's the last I heard of him...
Then there's people asking me to make armour... have no idea where they get that from...

Ah - that's the old "thinks tissue enchancemenats are just like tapes".
This is usually a prelude to a long explaination of how they need to find a tailor to make the tissues into cloth that can then be made into clothing - and no, BE tissues can't be used in armour, just normal clothes, etc, etc.

Had a customer came in and ordered lvl 69 rancor. i told him all possible stat and he was pleasant with the stat and HAM. I made 13k health with 590 dmg, same stat as regular MR MR MH MH MR recipe as everyone else's.
Next day, he came back.... He took a long look and said, it sucks. (Thinking) IT SUCKS??!! 13K HEALTH, 59 KIN WITH LIGHT ARMOR, AND 590 DMG AND IT SUCKS??!!
I told him that was what he looked for in first place and he dumped it. What the *bleep*??!! I spent 2 hours on Dath looking for mutant rancor and sample them only to have him toss it over. I just wish the customers would keep their own word or pay in advance.

Too many customers have placed orders and, just like you, said they didn't like it or didn't want it...After I've spent a week hunting DNA, spent 30k on buffs, downed half a case of Brandy.
This is a business. You have to treat it like a business to protect both you and the customer.
I ALWAYS get half (Or more) down when making ANY pet or tissue order. I make them send me an email as confirmation of their order...And proof of what they REALLY asked for initially.
This minimizes customer "Irritations". If they say I didn't make them what they wanted I send them back their original email. If they say they don't want it, or that they found it cheaper, fine, be a schmuck and break your contract...I still have your money. Plus you can bet that I am going to warn all the merchants in my city that you are untrustworthy. And if they are really bad there is always the good old "/cityban Schmuck".

That's funny live flies and bees... that brings up a question for me the #((@#( is that crap for anyway? Why are even able to get it? and more importantly where does the jar come from?
I mean when I was a NOOB back last July I was a novice Artisan, and wanted to make a glass of Spice tea, it took me a week to forage enough materials to make the cup. But to sample bees I am able to pull a jar out of my &$ and collect them?
They are almost as dumb as mediclorians. Only thing fun about them was that I once put a jar of bees in one of those creature container things (I don't know if you can still make those or not) but a group of guys and I were sitting around a camp fire, when I decided to release these bees... they came out in a big swarm and I yelled holy crap I released the Bees, we all ran off in different directions for our lives, but we were in no real danger...lol
My friend got made cause he went out of range and lost the ability to pick up his camp...lol.
Noob days were so fun.

oh i've got one that's actually very origional...never heard this one on the boards before....
Setting: outside Jabba's palace, front gate
Noob: hey can you make me a pet?
Me (thinking): how the **edit** did they know i'm be?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? i have my Pikeman title up don't i? damnit.......
:sigh:
Me: um...ok, but it may take awhile- i have to go get the stuff to make it. what pet and cl do you need?
noob: 11 or below, any creature.
Me: ok, but it'll take me a while to get the samples to make it...i have to get 5 of 'em to make a pet.
Noob: I've got samples for you.
Me (suspicious): uh, ok...are they dna samples?
Noob: i've got the samples.
Me (still suspicious): where'd you get them?
Noob /trades to me
i hesitantly /trade
Noob starts putting "sample of live flies", "sample of live bees", ect into the trade window
i quickly hit the exit button on the trade window
Noob: ?
Me: I can't use those...I need DNA samples to make a pet.
Noob: you can't use them?
Me: no...a Bio-engineer has to collect dna samples in order to make a pet...(went on to explain the basics of how a pet is made)
Noob: ......
Me: i can still make you a pet, but i'll have to go out and get the samples to do it.
Noob: um nm ty
:sigh:
5 minutes later...
I've come back from my mission and see "live sample" noob yelling in frot of jabba's palace that they're looking to buy a good pet lvl 11 or below for 1-2k.......to every one of the maybe 7 people nearby.
i started doing /cry and /sob in guildchat...............
there it is....
/cry, /weep, /sob
OH THE HUMANITY!
It is because of this that i am always sure to know as much info about another profession before asking them something about their profession.

Think it requires novice scout and more importantly where does the jar come from? Search Lair gives eggs or the useless samples
