it has to be possible. all it takes is a team of dedicated players working in unison, each with their own role to fill, and good leadership.

i mean obviously not a totall 100% monopoly which would encompass an entire server. but creating a corporation/cartel is very possible. and i suspect it's the wave of the future in SWG.

i never understood why crafters are so independent... almostevery crafter has their own vendors, harvests their own resources, why not form a group of people to work together towards success?

games like this should require teamworkand interdependency. instead we see indepenency.

but i assure you, it can be done. and it will be done. and others will follow suit.

i dont really see how it could be done. unless you are on a server like wanderhome that has a very small player population and become a crafter of some sort and you are the only crafter of, say, weapons on that server, then you can charge 100k a weapon and no one will do anything. unless someone else comes along and starts making weapons and sells them for 10k apiece, you have the whole population in the palm of your hand. there are still too many people on each server, even one like wanderhome.

I /luv how people who DO NOT play on Wanderhome, always seem to have an opinion about it.

btw, imposible for anybody to EVER have a 'monopoply' on any server. If somebody wants to disagree with me....I'll tell ya to go to a -Jr. College and purchase and ECON 101 text book.

ahhh...my fellow 'wanderhomian' brings up a good point. Hi, ebz

"Complete Control over Acklay (or Nyax..etc)"

Is that really a 'monopoly'?

Is it possible for somebody else to aquire a better weapon or would it be possible for somebody to have the time to log in @ those intervals?

I think, yes.

I think the 'root' question that needs to be asked, when considering a 'monopoly' =are there anybarriers to entry, that are not availabe to others? (i.e. goverment restrictions...or in our case, developers restrictions).

We'll for any crafting proffesion. hmm..some resources, some assembly/exp. bonuses...what else?

easy answer there = market share (which can be manipulated by like quality and lower pricing).

Anybody can become a crafter (and in due time) make an impact...no monopoly there.

Now, lets talk about this...

"Oligopoly" ..that's a definite possibility and can be seen on any server. I just don't think a 'monopoly' can be achieved.

We will have all we need since we according to you have every crafting proffession and even M-bh alts to hunt ourselves

I am glad someone understood what KOLBROOKIE wrote. I need to get a protocol droid for translation purposes when trolling the boards at work.

closest thing to a monoploly you can get is being the only entertainer in the cantina and charging a cover of 20k

Or being the only doc and charging a lot for buffs.

But who needs a monopoly? Just get really good at a crafting profession and people with money will seak you out. For example, Plucky the droid Engineer on Lowca.
