I actually dont make money as a BE. I know everything we make is broken (still) and just trade it all away for good resources so i can make more broken crap. I tell everyone who wants it that it's confirmed broken (still) and they dont care, the Oct. patch said it worked. So by not charging them a dime, I end up with a clear concience (conscience?).



BE?

I am a MBE on Radiant,


Now, If i bought a Flamethrower from a weaponsmith, then didnt get the same damage out of it as a Commando, who's fault is that?


The weaponsmiths for not telling me I need to be certified to actually use the thing?


Or mine for blindly purchasing somethin with no idea as to what im doin?


Am I entitled to a refund?



I'm not tryin to be a jerk here, or flame anyone elses opinion, it just seems to be a common sense issue. I think every master Crafter should be as customer concsiencious (sp?) as possible, but personally I don't put those types of warnings on my Vendor products, and basically this has been a non-issue for me, cos ive never recieved any complaints or /tells afterward...except one time when a certain un-named CH used a 10 unit crate of Vitality paks to heal his pets damage (apparently not realizing the difference between Vit paks and petstims).


Got Milk?

Form, you really do need warnings.


It says on your skill sheet what you can and can't use for weapons. The game has done nothing in that area for BE's.


Since dev droped the flag, we must pick it up and keep running.


Dev does not believe in excellence, only throw it against the wall and see what sticks.

It is each and every crafters right to be customer centric or not I would actually prefer that youguys treat customers like garbage because it means more money in my pocket since I provide just about every productanyone would ever need.

Hello I am MCH and 3/3/4/4 BE on Bria. While I am not rich by BE products I am well to do. I have fund that I have a pretty loyal customer base, and I got that from selling things on the Bazaar and when someone buys it I send them an email asking if I can add them to my friends list. And then at least once a week I send out an update on my skills and products that I have on my vendors. And I have gotten several replies as to how the customers like recieveing my updates and because of those updates have told me that they will come to my vendors first when looking for product. I do not believe in selling untrained pets on my vendors except every once in a while I will put some on there and label them as furniture. But that is just me. I do hope that the Devs will come to our aid and allow usto sell trained pets on the vendors and fix those creatures that we can't do anything with. Well that is my 2 cents worth.


Beerninja, look me up on Bria if ya need anything
