Thread: Avain meat,Oh the INsane people priceing it...
If you are in a guild sponsor a leveling event.. GIve them free buffs.. keep them healed.. if you have combat xp, give them advice.. and make sure they have scout.. After an evening the arrangment is that the meat goes to you, and the guild gets reduced price buffs..
150 cpu is nothing compared to a 300-400 cpu in ahazi.

Sure hunting it yourself is an option if you want 28k :/
What about doctors like me who NEED 140k of avian per shift (at least).
No way can I hunt that by myself and go to my real life job.
If 900/900 avian spawns on Bria soon, you better bet your but I'm starting the price at 150cpu, easy.
150 cpu is fine for the docs making tons packs. i managed to get 300k on the last nice shift in Radiant at that prices, broke on cash atm but the factorys are in non-stop runs and get the money back fast
got a combat/scout char is not enougth when need 100k+ avian per shift, and i got a master ranger alt
buy or die
In game I'm Wong-Fei-Hong, sent me a /tell
Many, many people have tried to create doctor's unions before, and have failed. Just like every other profession that sells something.
Unions only work when everybody belongs to them. Then, you can extort people for whatever price you want because they have no alternative. Governments pass laws to keep them in place.
SWG has no lawmaking body in-game. The free market rules. Somebody will always sell for less. Somebody will always pay more.
There is no "should". It's the most useless word in the English language.
The price of anything is not what you say it is, it's what the market will bear. Ironically, this extremely wise piece of advice came from a ridicluous (but wonderful) movie, Raising Arizona
You can make a profit on doctor meds regardless of the price of avian. Or you can go kill some yourselves. Or trade for it. Or have guildmates get it for you.
You can even whine about it on a message board. It's a free country (for now). But it won't do you any good.

I just think all the doctors on the servers should start a PA called HMO. That way, we can charge people reduced prices for buffs, heals and resses. For the idiots charging 400 credits a unit of avian meat, lets see how you will like having to pay 100K for a res, or 150K for buffs. Now, all non docs are saying that im crazy for even thinking that high, well, if youve been around at least the last 6 months, youve already noticed buff prices doubling. Its not because we decided to jack it up, its because people decided to get rediculous with pricing meat. Dont be surprised if someone actually does start HMO. If it happens, tell me where to send my resume.
I'm in a doctors club,theres like 30 master doctors in it (not a guild) Basicly its there for all the doctors to get to know each other so we are all not at each others neck on getting more costermers i guess
1. the crafter doc. He makes stuff primarily to sell. Its his lively hood. He can afford to pay insane rates because he still makes money, and he needs to have tons of this stuff, so he offers insane cpu to ensure he is the one it is sold to.
2. the starport-buff doc. The doc that buys meds, buffs at starports. This is his livelyhood. He doesn't mind that the crafter doc prices his buffs based on the crazy rate that the crafter doc pays for avian, because he still makes money.
3. the field doc. The doc that probably crafts his own stuff, doesn't have the best, and uses his skills to support a group while in combat. He makes his lively hood from missions/loots.
Now i'm sure that most docs are some combination of the 3. I'm sure the craft doc buffs at the starport at times, and he probably hunts. The starport-buff doc probably does some crafting, and probably hunts yada yada.
The point I'm trying to make is the reason avian costs so much is simply to motivate people to go get it for docs because they need it. They can afford to pay for it, so why not?
My thought is this. One can master doc, master an elite combat profession, and have 18 skill points left. Use those points to switch between entertainer, scout, and artisan. Its costs you 100 creds to change, big deal. That way for any given situation you can survey for your harvestables, harvest creature resources, or heal bf and mind wounds. Then you can go get your own avian when you need it. Simple yes/no? You don't ever HAVE to pay a damn penny for avian. You're just being lazy by not having scout and hunting down your own, then whining because its expensive.
4. the pvp field doc. The doc that crafts his/her own stuff that is better than the best on sale, and uses his/her skills to support a group in huge PvP battles. Makes livelihood from donations, missions and selling 25 amazing stim B per day on the bazaar
