Having only been a MBE for a month now I am still fool enough to run about with that tag over my cranium. I've used quite a bit of gametime explaining what a BE cannot do to other players, but over the last week most of the tells I've gotten have been from players just starting out as BEs and asking me how to become a master, ok fine I give a few ideas about what to sample and what to grind and how big a pile of meat and flora they will need and then I get the "Can you give me the meat and flora I need?" I say Sorry, but I don't have any xtra and then it goes back and forth a bit as they feel I'm holding out on them. I REALLY do try not to be rude, and I have in the past given away junk resources rather than delete them, but having this same conversation 3 times in the last week is frustrating.

My best n00ber BE story in the month I've been a BE:
n00b: I hear you can make me a rancor?
me: I can but it will be high level and it will only be a housepet for you.
n00b: But I was told you could make me a rancor.
me (quickly frustrated): Ok, fine, I'll make you one, how much can you pay for it (knowing full well the offer will be closer to 0 than a fair price)
n00b: I can pay 2000cr
me: That's not enough
n00b: Please! I'll go make money after you make me a rancor and then give you more. I promise.
me (feeling like I'm in a New York City bus station getting pan handled): Very well, since you're new I'll do it for 2k.
n00b: How do I change back?
me: What?
n00b: When I want to change back to a wookiee how do I do it?
me: What on God's green earth are you talking about?
n00b: I don't want to stay a rancor forever, how will I change back? Do I come back to you?
me: Listen little n00ber, I can make a pet FOR you, it sits in your datapad and you call it out like a speeder bike.
n00b:NO, my friend told me you could make me a rancor.
me: Well, I can't. Go play Everquest. Bye. (/addignore)

You should have taken him back to your house and told him rancor only works from 1st person... so he will have to adjust his camra and go wide angle, then drop a Rancor deed on him and let him be happy for a minute before you /ignore his sorry butt.

I moved to Corellia I have no vendor and I don't know the coords to my house, but it doesn't really matter cause all my pets are in the tool box, I may have some in space, but that doesn't really concern you either.

Generally, its the BE who posts their encounters with hapless and hopeless noobs on these forums. Heres a succinct story told in the reverse.


Me (via tell): Got any pistol speed or accuracy +10 attachments handy?

BE: No, sorry mate.

Me: Quite alright. Thank you kindly. :-)

(2 min pause)

Me: Dont suppose you could make me some?


Didnt know much about the game at the time, and a guy i met in-game told me that BEs had the miraculous ability of producing CAs and AAs from their arses.

"does yourvendor have thespecial bio-tissues that are used to make addatives? if you don't what i'm talking about just ask me."


i didn't even want to deal with responding to him so i just sent him the waypoint to my vendor, hopefully when he gets there and sees what's on it, it will all come together for him.
