Chef Archive

Well I definitely appreciate the responses. I have a tendancy to get really upset at people who don't display what I think is common courtesy, so I made this post to be sure it wasn't just an overreaction on my part. I think most people here seem to agree that it was quite rude of him.

I will ignore him in the future. Thanks for the replies folks.

I would, but that because I am trying to be a master merchant as well and i am a little short on points.

LOL

It's bound to be a veritable who's who, that list of yours!!

id train him, who cares. if you think he should thank you, tell him to say thank you. i bet he doesnt cause he thinks you dont care.

either way, be the better person and help him.

I disagree, eez. It's not a requirement as a player that I train anyone, and by letting them be inconsiderate, I am just facilitating that rude behavior. I never expect a tip, and I will go meet someone if they are somewhere near where I am going, but if they don't show at least the slightest bit of appreciation (/bow, 'thanks', whatever), they won't get any further attention from me. And, for the record, I usually tip 500 to 1000 whenever I receive training.

I always tipped half of what that box wouldve cost me at the npc. But then again, I paid the npc for a lot of my early training and the people that trained me I know paid the npc...i cant imagine demanding training from them when they paid such a high price.

I would never train someone after I did it once and didnt get a thank you. And thats from a holo grinder

Howdy Sly

I get this all the time as well. However Im a master arch. I just started on Chef and Im not a grinder......I get people all the time asking to train em...Especially the holo grinders. I even get the same response like, "I'll be back in 10mins can u train me blah blah then". 90% of the time i get a thank you but those who dont even say thanks then when they ask again I just say sorry, Im tied up go use anNPC trainer.

Come on Vimes... You'd do it because you're SOFT!!! SOFT I SAY!!!!

Yeah, AP aside I really don't mind training people at all usually. I've been maxed/mastered for a while, so I just train to help people out. It's the not getting even a cursory thank you, not just once but twice, that caused to me to get a bit miffed. I figured maybe the first time he forgot, or was in a big hurry. Then when he came and I trained him again, and the same thing happened, it really put me off.

Look, you....just because I look like the pillsbury dough boy in real life does not mean I am soft!

Another name to go on my list.

Personally, I think that guy would make the ignore list. He'll get the point when he's standing next to you at the starport and gets the "not online" message from his /tell.
I'm a hologrinder myself (though it looks like my timing's good, there's chef luvin coming), and have paid for all my training. There's only one master chef in my guild, and there don't seem to be many on Corbantis. I may not tip for training (unless it's asked for) because I never charge for training, but dang, at least thank the person for helping you out!

By the way, since they seem to be a rarity, I'll be keeping chef for a while.
Screw the holos, I'll play the professions I like! :-)

I have to agree here. I'm a dancer, and as such, I'm running into more and more hologrinders in the cantinas (most of whom are AFK). When they return to reset their macro and ask for training, I simply don't respond. When I mastered my profession, there weren't a lot of people who had the skill level to train me, and I paid for almost all of my levels. I find that many of the hologrinders that I've met are in such a hurry to level and move on to the next grind that they often forget their manners. They don't want to be working the skill, and are anxious to move on....which is fine, but I spend too much time in cantina's with rude people to facilitate the behavior!
