Thread: Yesterday I Was Insulted for Asking 12k for Buffs

why are you overcharging or even buffing at all when you 45 million credits? 12k is too much i think. has the cost of making buffs really doubled?
Check the thread titled "Finally Docs waking up and realizing their true worth" for the answer to why charge 12k.
As far as why do I buff when I have 45 million credits, the answer is I'm a doctor and that's what we do. Why do wealthy doctors comntinue to practice medicine in RL?
That's a measley 274 point difference, but at a HUGE frontend cost for the doctor, unless they have been playing since release and stock piling 900oq/900pe resources. Geta 2100/2200 buff and some stimpack 'b' and you are good to go, especially since doctors could feasibly make TWICE as many 800 packs as 900 packs at the same cost.

Anyway, those of you who are charging the true worth of a buff, bravo to you. You have my respect. I'll keep selling and see if this annoying behavior stops.

It's your comments like this that say to us that if we don't agree with you then we're not worthy of any respect. That only your opinion matters. That onlyyou are right and those that don't agree are wrong.
Who put you in charge of deciding what my buffs are worth?
You're right and i'm sorry about the statement about respect. Just angry at those who charge low because you make it difficult for those who want want to chargewhat they believe is a fair rate. I can accept the 8k rate docs. It's just when I see the 6K docs or the "Tip what you want" docs that I get a bit pi**ed. On my server that is ridiculously low and is, IMHO, disrespectful to other docs trying to make a profit.
We are trying to emulate a real economy, so show some professional curtesy to your colleagues by not undercutting toan extreme.
I never tried to be in charge ofdeciding your buff's worth. That's pretty silly comment. I am asking that we all raise the rates. Of course it's it's always been your choice.
as a master doc I think it's unacceptable, I know what the packs worth, and 800 packs are cheap, cheap to make and cheap to buy.
as a regular custommer, I find that rate ridiculous and funny.
in the worst case, a 800 power buff, cost you, let's say, the very worst case, 3k or 4k credits, with average components, and good quality ressources, I made 910 packs without any problem. so making 800-870 packs is very very cheap, why would you charge 12 for a cheap product ?
as a Mdoc, and buffs crafter, I'm against those rates. comon. I just bought crates of 936/940 packs yesterday, 145charges/crate 100k/crate, one WHOLE SET cost ME 4138 cr, add the bivoli and clothing/droid, so we get let's say 4500cr/full set.
I'll charge 10k/set for those, so I'll make 5500 cr/buff wich will end to a very nice 797500 BENEFIT, when I'll finish those packs I'll just have 1.4M in my pocket wich is quite enough and fair.

Make up your mind. Which way do you want it?
How about you show someprofessional courtesyto other doctors and not denigrate them for charging what they feel is a fair price.
