i got a problem. everyone seems to say the same answer but i just still wanna put the question out here. about 3 weeks ago i returned to galaxies (i hadn't played since March 2005) and i respec'd to MCH/MBE. i had a great time for a while...but then it just started getting boring. spending hours a day getting DNA samples to make pets just was a pain. i am still on my combat respecs so i decided to respec to MPistols/MBH a couple days ago. OMG did i get a huge amount of angry customers. i even got some hate emails!!! i then went back to MCH/MBE to please my customers. i have a large amount of customers and they always come back for more pets (i work exclusively on crafting pets, both non-ch and ch). on average, i make close to 1 million creds per day. i love the money that this job pays yet i just don't have any fun. i got 20 million creds now and i'm starting to craft meds, which is a nice change. my biggest problem is that i want to quit BE yet i don't want to disappoint all my loyal customers. Also, the money is great. it's fun vs. money/customers. i just don't know whether to respec to something fun or just stick with what i'm good at. *sigh* any thoughts?

It is very important for people to remember this is a GAME not a JOB. One thing you might do is just well, send a letter to your customers saying you are going to quit BE again and explain why just like you did here. Tell them if they want any pets made, you will be happy to make them and give them like a week or two...


Then, maybe you could find the name of another pet making BE (or more than one) on your server to point them to - include that in your email and in any mails/messages you get after you quit and can't help them.


I know what you mean about fun. I respec'ed my main who was my BE to a pure combat, but luckily had another account I was able to respec to a BE. But I really like playing a BE and I have never not been a BE, so it gave me no pain to do that and actually made it easier since my alt account will never be a jedi and I nicely side-stepped the issue of having to decide to regrind BE again or forego being a jedi with my main character.


Oh, and ... hehe ... I guess this is what happens if you advertise everywhere about opening a super cool pet shop before you know you want to do it for sure

If you're making that kind of $$$ sampling and making pets (I do about the same), you might consider selling the extra credits for real $$$ and go get a second account to have your combat fun. Its much easier to do now that SOE has legitimized this kind of activity. This has several great perks,



  • You might make some extra real world $$

  • You can have your combat fun!

  • You might even have extra in game $$ to fund your combat profession

So cheer up! As they say in the real world, do what you must do (and in your case, what you do well), to pay for what youWANT to do.
