Has anyone else noticed a drop in pet sales since Publish 10? I'm sure many players are working towards glowing or FS quests but I'm a bit suprised pet sales are so bad. I used to sell15 or more non-ch mounts a week, now Im barely selling 2 or 3 a week.

Alot of people are back into "Grind mode".


I'm about at my end of keeping BE. Not enough pet sales, not enough tissue sales (everyone just wants you to make them Schems which I no longer do). If I keep my Master BE title up, all I get is people asking me to make them Schems or "Free Pets"....

I've actually found that my sales for custom non-ch has been going up.


For objectivity, I should say that with a few of the more publicly large BEs leaving the profession on my server, I have been getting increased business for tissues.


As for CH pets, Icouldn't comment as I don't tend to make anything above cl15-20.

maybe it's because of the grind. Don't worry, within 2-3 weeks people will come flocking back to you... most likely saying "That big Kimogila I was supposed to kill killed my pet..." (that's when you laugh, uncontrollably)


Most of my good friends are Bio-Engineers, so I hope that you guys are able to start selling again.

i have seen a little bit of decline over the past two days, but still my non-ch pets sell like hotcakes.


also, i promise to never use the phrase "selling like hotcakes" ever again.

Yeah, I've seen a similar drop in pet sales. Probably is a combination of several factors as has been mentioned before.

I think it is the Beta combined with the release of certain DVDs!

The game is different right now, there is a lot happening, Beta, Village, General niceness? I am not sure if it is the lack of lag from all the people in beta or what, but people sure seem to be nicer these days too.

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.

I tend to look at sales over long periods of time (having been a BE for, well, ages now) and I haven't noticed any large decrease. There does seem to be a bit of a local minimum occurring when the FS cycle goes to a new phase but my sales picked up toward the end of our last one and I expect it will be the same at the end of this cycle as well.

Being a MBE/MCH on Valcyn for nearly 8 months now the change in sales isnt a big deal. Of course I have always been a custom pet creator and work mostly off requests, but what i have learned is this, I am also doing the village, and ch is generally screwed there, (so is be for that matter) The missons all revolve around 3 types of skills combat, artisan and medic (master medic BTW) so ch not having enough power to make a differance in battle is being dropped faster than Martha Sterwart stock. There isnt a demand for pets anymore, all those keeping ch, got the pets they want, and the non ch pets , well basically all the kids want the exploited versions, and they get mad when you refuse to make em,(yep sad i get called names for NOT cheating).

I'm not sure about pet sells declining.


What I am sure of is, "I just savedBinary Load Lifter full of credits by switching to Geico".


Sorry about the stupid, gratuitious Geico plug.


Honestly, pet sales have been pretty good on Tempest.What's really amazing is the enormous amount of CH'swe have on our server. While standing inthe buff line this weekend, I whipped out a Devil (Galginaw-sp*)(Baby) to train it....had some spare time...why not. All of a sudden, a bucket load of players start whipping out rancors, kimogilas and all manner of BE'd or wild pets./shout "The CH's of Star Wars live!!!!!!!"


I grow weary of hearing how the CH population and profession is dead. And, there are as many dabblers today as there werewhen this whole thing started. Difference is....well there is no difference since we canBE pets with far better stats than the old Rock Beetle that was taken out of non-CH's hands so....I don't know....oh yeah...pet sales are good to me....lol.
