After reading numerous threads, (props to Dor) i am beginning to think that pet making is fairly obsolete for us - i can make some very descent pets but natural ones that MCH tame seem to be far better. I wonder if this will make our crafting those branches completly useless.

now i know they are GONNA fix special attacks and other items in our profession - but i gotta say this - i used to be a smuggler - and nothing EVER came of that. Although i love Star Wars and this game i am becoming increasingly frustrated with attention to jedi's and BH and not other professions - is this because SWG is fast becoming quest based? so there is no need to fix what makes this game enjoyable- why dont we get to make kash banthas and veractyls, etc and be able to cash in on some of the new changes - y no BARC speeders for artisans? what makes this game unique is the reliance on non combat professions - that arent at full potential

i am not trying to be a sour puss but 3 of my clients left SWG because of this reason - they gave me business more out of friendship rather than our product beingsuperior, sure i can laugh and say that maybe i dont make the uber pets, to which i giggle too, but come on we cant really use our prof to the fullest.

ive been on since almost the beginning and i will continue to play because i grew up on this stuff, and the people i meet are really great, but the game seems to want to add on rather than fix what has been promised from the get go.

i guess i just wanted to vent a little thx for your time.

Number one reason why BEta exists at all - people who love BE but can't PLAY it with their mains. Giving up BE is not a decision to be taken lightly though. Look into your heart and see if you will be happy with another profession.

I dropped BE completely after shuffling it to an alt who dropped it as well in favor of armorsmith for just the reasons you said. Now I've respec'd my main back to BE with my final token respec but that's mainly because I want to figure this thing OUT and I can do that best both on wanderhome but also on Bloodfin where I have the support of my town. Also I'm really changable and I got tired of hunting for hides to make armor to make it possible to hunt for hides to make armor - oh very quickly

When I dropped BE, Jekk said 'you'll get tired of combat really quickly and then all you'll have left to do is grind jedi to unlock your second slot to grind up a new BE'. Which is probably true but is really why BEta exists - so people can have it both ways - but grinding BE is long and boring so we AREN'T the big community we sound like - we are small with promises of people dropping in.

Good luck with whatever you decide ... Dor
