Bio Engineer Archive

I've had it happen a few times (customer not picking up their order) and I just shrug it off as CODB (cost of doing business). And sometimes I'll just put those items on the vendor at a higher price then I offered them to that customer at, just to make myself feel better, lol. And yea, naturally they are SOO banned.

But beyond that I kinda look at it as an opportunity to improve my vendor offerings. After all, the reason they had to order it custom was probably cause I didn't have the exact things they wanted on my vendor already, and the reason I didn't have it on my vendor already was because I perceived that there wasn't a demand for those items, ergo, I was wrong, I now know better, and now I have those items in stock for the next customer who wants em to buy and be SO impressed that I have them just waiting for him/her, lol. It all works out in the end.

I have not had this problem with custom clothing orders yet, thankfully. However, I have had this happen twice with component crate orders. People asked for 500 Trim or Synth Cloth, I hold up a factory for a day or 2, and then they never came to collect regardless of 2 emails send to remind them. Those people have not asked for anything made again, but if they did, I would simply tell them: 1) Remind them about the former order and lack of pickup. 2) I'd only make items for them in the future with pre-payment in full. That way, there's no chance I get stiffed again.

This gives them the chance to redeem themselves some, as it's possible that that things out of their control prohibited them from picking the items up. Custom orders, same thing. Payment ahead of time, or I ain't breaking out the sewing machine.

If they break the deal twice, then 1) They lose money and get nothing in return. and 2) I don't take orders from them again, no exceptions.

Now, if I fill a custom order in a relatively fast manner, 1-2 days, and they don't pick up the order upon the basis that they already bought it from someone else: They don't get to place more orders, they can shop from my vendors.

If it takes me more than 3 days, only due to RL intervention, and they buy from someone else, I will take more orders, with the understanding that they need to contact me asap to let me know they don't need the order anymore.

That's the way I'd handle it, but to each their own. If you don't feel like dealing with this person, you are well within your rights. They broke a business deal with you, so you shouldn't feel bad for refusing future business.

Thought that was taken care of in the last mini patch or thats how the wording sounded...guess not.

ok, check this out. i was hutning a jedi and he turned out to be a rebel like me. Now i didnt even think twice, i killed him. well in typical jedi fashion he sends me hate tells. and says how lame i am for killin the same faction jedi. i was surprised that he didnt even know about me yet, cause me hunting rebel jedi along with IMP jedi is old news. anyways he presnted me with a question;

Would you Hunt Luke Skywalker if you were given a Bounty on him and you were a rebel too........Now at first i wanted to reply with "LMFAO" but i didnt so my answer to him was.

Hell ya i would have hunted him. if it was during the a new hope days when he first started useing his saber i would have killed him with in seconds. (then i would have killed chewbacca cause we all know his hairy ass would have got envolved)

Then i would have stole R2-D2 and put a detonater in him then flew to Yodas place and camped yoda till he went to his bed to...aaa...to go be "one with the force" then put R2-D2 on follow.hit the detonate button and help yodda on his path to oneness.....

Fighting same faction jedi is a pretty good way to avoid jedi gank squads so yeah if I were factioned I would do it. I wonder if he actualy thinks himself as imporntant as Skywalker.

Drop your doc crap and make your alt a Master doc. That way you can buff your self much better than you can now.

Yep, what he said. You loose the buff timers, but it works better.

Is luck worth the wait? I have all the FS xp I need right now to get Jedi but I'm waiting until the next phase 3 to unlock the Luck branch. Should I continue to wait or just go with persuasion?

um.....hehe i probably won't do this because getting another set of xp for an entire force sensitive tree is just not gonna happen. thanks for your suggestion though.

however, isn't it true that once you attain padawan status you can't drop your force sensitive skills?
