I don't know what one can do to fix this, but it bothers me how many chefs have BE alts or are Chef/BE...to me I often feel like I can't sell pets because vehicles are faster and nobody's a CH, nobody wants tailor tissues since they don't go in armor, and I can't sell chef tissues because chefs make them for themselves.

Thanks




Well,



Gypsia d'Catman - Tough Chick with a Flamethrower
Catman Dewback - Famed Trando ex-band leader of the Wookettes
Felis Con'Colori - Bothan Spy back before there was a "Spy"
Larrana Darkewave - A Silent Dancer

All dead as of 11/30/05. We tried. Gysia's flamethrower blew up. Catman was arrested for trumped up charges of slavery. Felis grew cold in the grip of Darth SOE. Larrana finally swallowed her NDA and choked.
Hail, Hail the NGE! SWG is dead! All praise the NGE!

Well, there's really not a whole lot you can do along that front... I sometimes feel the same way talking to people I know of who have "Alt"s... I do not have the money to go buy SWG & JtL again (because you need the CD Keys, I'm told) , in addition to the cost of a second account. So I stick with one character, along the BE/CH line. I can sell my tissues to friends I've made over the past year and a half, and pets sometimes. I do find that it's possible to find a market for some tailor tissues (Master Doctors eat them like candy), and lately I've been recieving more requests for Non-CH pets and mounts (the mounts, I believe, for riflemen in PvP).


Making money is an issue, to be true, but maybe we just need better publication of just what our products can mean to other players. I mean, the Chefs (and, to a lesser extent, tailors) got a publish devoted to them and lots of fanfare about it. The BE changes I've been through I didn't notice until I fired up my crafting station, then went "What the hell is Generic DNA Template?" and went back to read the release notes closer.

Hmm... i quite like the fact that the target CL is a mystery because it makes our profession more complex and more interesting. If they were to reveal sure-fire ways to reach a target CL, then I think a little bit of the mystique of our profession would die.







Mystery is a wonderful thing, and has driven me many times to RTFM (or, Read the Fine Forums we have, given that the in game documentation is sometimes more of a mystery) in order to find out what I have been doing wrong. However, mystery can go too far into the face of "Awww, C'mon, throw a Trando a BONE here..."


Realistically, if I am attempting to bioengineer a creature, bacterium, viral plague, whatever, I know the approximate levels of the ingredients I am combining and mutating to form my end product, and should be able to foster particular traits or cultures while culling or reducing other attributes through any number of biochemical and mechanical processes. In essence, I might not have control over the exact level of the pet, but I can tweak it up or down. A general "creature level" control so we could push it up or down in the experimentation process might be good, but without giving us the ability to "set CL to XX". Another factor added, perhaps, but somewhat believable.


Or at least more believable than fishing. *twitch*
