After taking a week off to try and recover some enthusiasm for the game, I have decided that its time to retire. Despite all its problems BE is probably the most interesting proffession in the game, but it is no longer enough to keep me here. I'd like to thank the BE community for making this game last as long as it did, I think anyone that has stuck with this profession since launch should be given a FS Slot of dedication and a death star to help vent some of the frustration.

I'll be holding a mass clearout of stock over the weekend if any BEs on Valcyn want high quality Lok Wheat, Talusian Fungi, Tat Fiberplast, etc etc

Good luck to all those that stick it out.

I'm also going on "vacation." My acccount will be active for a short period of time to give SOE one last chance to fix BE. With mounts coming out in a few days and BE clones remaining broken I'm tired of fighting the good fight. Its very evident, despite all the ideas and pleading from BE's, SOE has turned a deaf ear.

Dang right I deserve a FSCS! Then I'd have something fun to work on while I'm waiting around for that carrot.

Don't think I can take another month of this, but I don't want to surrender skills and see the patch come in the next day, know what I mean? Maybe when character copy goes in I can put all those hard won BE skills on test center and free up some skill points on my main...but I don't know how long I have to wait on that one either.

Why don't I just hang the account for a month? Well, because I have no life. I don't have enough money to buy a life. And will have less money, but also less free time, when the new life shows up in my house. In the mean time I'm just going to prop up my swollen feet and wait.

CH Dev: "So how long did you say that bleeding effect will last on the BE profession?"

BE Dev cracks an evil grin....

BE Dev: "Well, it only lasts a month per shot, but I got a little trigger happy at release.... heh..."

BE Dev: "Pull!"

End of this month, which means, any time itdecides it's ready over the next four or five weeks. Fairly sure it's going to be a girl. I've got a check up today and then it's off to see Revolutions with my hubby, who's having his Birthday today. Mine is coming up Saturday, same day as the eclipse.

Hello all:

The time has come for me to say goodbye to being a Master CH - this has come after a good solid week of thinking about the profession I held onto for so long. I did a lot of debatting and talking to a lot of my friends. I really use to love this profession - but now as my alt character grinds the profession for her holocron = I got to look at the profession from two sets of eyes. 1) As a Master - who mastered the profession long before the change to the profession took place. 2) As a newcomer - trying to grind this professions.

Through the eyes of a Master:

I mastered this profession before the change took place and I will admit I was one of those who took it hard - I had my share of rants on the boards. But I decided to stick it out - hoping things would improve and looking for way to make the best of the profession.. I got excited when the mounts came to our profession - we were finally given a purpose and all the non creature handlers who had bashed our profession over and over again were actually happy to see a CH and get their mounts. But as soon as it was given to us - it was taken away. Shortly after mounts came out - came the vehicles. Now I'm not knocking the vehicles - we all knew that they were coming and we all know that they are a part of the Star Wars universe. But all those non CH's who loved us for their mounts - went back to bashing us and our profession. Then came the BE - CH wars. It was no longer necessary for a CH to hunt down a pet for people - they only had to pay a visit to their local BE and so we started to feel even more useless in this game and the profession took on a whole new look. Again, I'm not bashing another profession - I love my BE friends and have a mixed datapad of tamed and BE pets.

Then came myhunt for the rare petsbegan. I spent many a day hunting on Dathomir for a baby bull rancor only to find one and have it taken away (Oh those nasty nightsisters) I no sooner found it - began to tame it - when a the nightsisters came and kill me and it before I could finish taming. /sigh But the search continued and I did manage to find some rare pets - but then the true effects of the change hit me.I could not use my pets in combat any more and even though I tried to for some time the toll on those rare pets was awful. For fear of losing any of my rare pets that took too long to get - I switched to only using my BE pets and my poor rare pets sat in my datapad and now I don't even use my BE pets all that much especially in PVP the lose to VT just became to great. So it became that all my pets just sat in my datapad and I became even more saddened by the profession I use to love. I feel no longer needed as a CH - Non CH players do use pets anymore - other then the occasional mount and we are useless in combat.

Through the eyes of a newcomer:

When I first opened my Holo with my alt character and read To continue the path of enlightenment you must Master Creature handling. I thought it was funny what an irony having a Master CH only to have to grind it again. Oh well I said - I've done it before - I can do it again. So I looked forhelp here on the boards - only to be practically ignored. The hatred for Hologrinders with this profession is overwhelming and with having a Master CH and all the bashing we get from other profession - I kind of understood the hatred. But as someone grinding the profession - it saddened me. With all the changes and all the bashing that this profession has taken - it seems to have blackened the hearts of so many.

So as a newcomer - I have also seen how the changes to this profession have taken it toll. The grind is so much harder now and in so many way things just don't make sense. Things like my lower level pet seems to get less XP then my higher level pets and my higher level pets seem to get taken out by lower level creatures faster. But I will continue the grind to master.

To my fellow CHs

I wish you all luck with this profession - I can only hope that someday they DEV's will listen and fix the profession. To the newcomers I especially wish you luck with your grind - I truly know now how hard it is. To the Masters - Pleasefind it within your hearts to help those who are grinding this profession and I do hope things get better for you. Good luck to all those in search of the rare pets.. Hopefully those Nasty sisters won't kill your baby bull rancor.

To Vertexon: I salute you - You have a thankless job. To be the person who must go between all the CH's who have been burned and the DEV's who don't care.

To Thunderheart: (I will write this - even though I know you don't listen) Please - Please take the time to listen to the CH's this profession has been hurt in many ways and it's your cold manners that seem to hurt even worse. I think if you actually took the time to see what all the changes to this profession did - you might understand their pain. Their frustration and your lack of caring are what makes the CH's write some of the posts that they do. So again I say Please listen to them.

Well said I agree with your post Iarian. However I am staying MCH for now. I worked hard on the profession put in lots of hours and pay good money for the game. Then SOE takes away all my hard work with the nerf bat. I will not allow SOE to direct me down the path they want. The beauty of the game and why I bought it was the hype of makeing your own way in the universe. It is obvious SOE wants you to follow their path. The day I quit MCH is the day my account closes. It is a shame SOE has put many of us in this position by calling it "balance". We all know their intent was to get MCH to drop the profession which was the most popular at one time and it worked! If they do to every profession what they did to CH they will not have a game.

I agree Ecco - and I wish you luck. I hope they finally see what they have done to this profession. It's unfortunite that all the complaints by other players is what directed the DEV's to hit this profession as hard as they did.

I really only became vocal on the boards since the beginning of the combat upgrade testing, so I won't hold it against anyone that goes, "huh, who is this?". Not to mention, most of my pre-cu postings were on the creature handler boards

I just want to say goodbye to all the wonderful ATK entertainers. Because of people like Javier, Doasa, Scip, Dranon, Esh, Sirri (hope I spelled that right

) and so many others, I found true joy in this game as an entertainer. I will miss the cantina crawls so much and I will miss logging on to dance in random cities.

I really just don't have the desire to pay for playing a beta game anymore. I sure hope they fix all the bugs and inbalances of old and the new system for those of you that are staying. I will not be coming back as far as I know. It will take a lot to make me change my mind...

I'm not leaving cause I'm no longer "uber", cause I never was uber. I'm not leaving because I am afraid of change. I'm leaving because of a continuous string of broken promises and a lack of customer service... not to mention, another broken and unfinished release.

Anyway, good luck to all that are staying. And no, you can't have my stuff... I already donated it all to people that were ATK in the cantinas when I was there
