I must agree with Bendi though, it has been a bit quieter here than on other forums. Enjoy the peace while we can. I am sure once JTL and the combat revamp come out, there will be plenty of posts.

It's been downright spooky this week. I was in coronet last night selling and buying on the bazaar as usual and I have never EVER seen the bazaar that empty.Very few organics, almost no clothing, very little of anything. Owch is all I have to say. And I certainly don't think things will "pick up" with JTL, if anything it will diminish the ground game by a lot.

I have been coming here a lot lately, however most of my questions are easily answered with just a little bit of searching.... so for the most part I am happy.

Beta testing JTL, Jedi grinding, playing Battlefront, or just plain got sick and left the game. Last week my galaxy forum was awash with "so long my subscription has expired" posts.
It wouldn't surprise me if this forum gets even slower when JTL goes live. Everyone will become shipwrights and engineers. There is very little use for an animal in space. Maybe tailors will have more use for us though

Like the title says.....
Is it me?...or does it seem a bit to peaceful in the forums? It feels like the calm before the storm lately. Maybe I should go poke my head in the Jedi forums...lol.
Actually, with all the village people nowadays....maybe that's where everyone is.

You should have seen this place a few months ago, you could post something, come back in three days and find nothing has changed

It's only a flesh wound!
But, seriously, kinda ... I've seen this concern expressed across servers, professions, guild and PA web sites. It's not just BE, it's everywhere. I've seen any number of suggestions as to why: school for some, jobs being busy for others, FS grinding, JTL beta, general burnout after a year of this.
I'm curious how the senior MBEs like our own NancyJ are feeling about the pace of things. What are you doing for fun in the game?

Well. The forums may be a little dead, but i've noticed that on Chimaera, every man and his dog is now a BE. there seems to be 2 'New BE Stocklist' on server trade every day.
The worst thing about this is, with meat prices rising, they are somehow charging what I consider to be stupidly low prices.
I used to charge 1.8m for +87 BSN's, then I lowered to 1.6m, which I think is reasonable.
The adverts I have seen have been even lower, I believe I saw 1.3m for 87's a few days ago.
Running at rough server prices for resources, 35cpu for meat, 10cpu for flora - thats's 1.3m. If they're charging that, then the components are worth just as much as the finished product, meaning I'd be better off financially, making schematics
On the plus side, I've had a *lot* of interest from tailors recently as the new BE's seem to be concentrating on chef tissues.
Anyone noticed this on any other server? I'dfind it interesting tosee the number/profession stats for servers.

The low end prices you've listed are still higher than mine but I'm on a different server of course. Prices will vary.
I used to have tailors ask me for tissues quite a bit. Then for the longest time I had no tailors. They seem to be coming back albeit slowly.
You have to remember, chefs have created alts that are BE's. Just because your main is a chef doesn't mean your alt BE can't sell items on the trade forum.
