I'm not sure if you other bioe have noticed how some players are treating us ? So far since pub 17 i have lost a good amount of cash due to folks who ask you to make a creature then never seem to be on . So you end up with a creation that needs to be sold to someone else . I was wondering do you keep your orders for so long before reselling or just resell whenever you feel the time is to ?
Also have noticed folks are little more rude now demanding to have order done now and not worried about if you have others ahead of him/her . So i was wondering where you other bio-engineer's stand on issues like this ? Have you been forced to ever blacklist anyone for just being so rude as well?

i think it's always been like that from time to time. it's probably just more noticeable since the CU and this patch because there are more new players and lot of people who have respec'ed to CH, so they don't understand that it does take a little while to get a pet made.
but, to be honest, i've always had customers like that. if someone is rude, i'm over it. they can find another BE. i may try to rationally explain it to them once but if they're still rude and demanding then i don't care. i don't really have the problem with people not getting their stuff just because i have vendors that i can put special orders on. i guess i'd send them a few emails trying to set up a time and if they are unresponsive then sell it to someone else.

If you keep an /addignore list, we can trade names once in a while 
I have some info for customers in my bio, and sometimes point them to it. Most folks I've dealt with, though, have been patient and polite. Once in a while they get a bit onry and, depending on my mood, I either explain that I have other things to do including enjoy the game, or I explain that they have to find another BE because I'm about to permanently ignore them.

The rudness comes mostly from all the nerfing to CH and those players being upset. They have to deal with you, the BE, just to start using their profession again. It is a bad additude for sure, but the source.
As for losing money, how? Travel is cheap if you have your own ship, dna is cheap, cloning isn't so expensive, cheap meat and flora for the creature. Just costs a lot of time. Pub 17 hasn't been out too long, least give them a week to pick up the animal. 3 day weekend in the states, many may be out of town.

Special orders I ask for half the cash up front. Then the thing can sit there for a week or two and I'm not worried.
