Everyone has noticed the change.
Doctors can't charge 10k a buff anymore.
Doctors can't pay 100cpu for Avian anymore.
Rangers and scouts can't get paid 100cpu for Avian anymore.
Resource dealers have lost their markets for various wheats, oats, waters, fiberplasts etc.
Buffs aside, SWG has one less crafting profession and BE's are left with the ability to craft items that USED TO BE useful.
The resource requirements to craft good meds make them ridiculously expensive compared to their true effectiveness, which shatters yet another market.
Doctors who do employ enhancers can't charge enough to make a profit on their services.
BE's can't charge Doc's enough to make a profit on their products.
So BE's can't pay resource dealers...
everyone has noticed...
I could go on and on about the current mess of things. Please feel free to continue where I left off. Additionally, please propose any solutions to the existing problem.

I've gotten so used to people not tipping, scouts/rangers not delivering on their promise to give me a certain amount of creature resources that I help them obtain that I've started up a second account to do some crafting to earn the money I need to keep my doctor afloat. At least I hope crafting can earn me some credits...

You forgot to mention one thing...no one asks or cares for doctor buffs because food & spices do a better job...hence those enhancers end up costing us since we cant even make enough money to break even. I have yet to have one person ask for buffs when I give them they're like oh buffs....thanks.

enhancers got useless atm, thats what SOE wants (only working on duration for some minutes) - lost 50k great avian i have stored...
sampling meat got lot easier, so rangers still can make nice cash - if they deliver huge amounts (400-500 units a creature makes that easy...). that lowers the prices for subcomponents. stims stay affordable. only stims u need meat and advanced parts and resources: stim d. and every CL 60 can easy make the 5k a stim d costs within 5-10 minutes - using 2/16 of the stim he just bought.
overall its good for the economy, otherwise every alt would only go doc to make cash, not for the role of a doc (i saw enough docs that just knew to buff, didnt have any woundpacks cause with that no cash had been made...)
as a crafting doc its hard that the only useful thing i craft are stims....but oh well maybe with a slight adjust some enhancers get useful to have and to craft, we will see.

at least the armoursmiths got a good business it seems atm.
after just 3 hunting sessions my helmet and my leggings (refitted compo to padded with 40k+ condition) are totally wasted (looks like the critters are always aiming for my head and my private parts
). i hardly earn enough money from the hunting group missions to keep up with the armour decay. the hate-system make me end up tanking most of the time. so atm i m paying money for the priviledge to help groups in hunting.
i have to do space combat to finance my doc. what a change of times (i started my space career with the money i earned as doc).
thats the advantage of my other template (doc/tkm). no more armour and full use of be clothes.

Ok, my only comment is that i am master doc/m pikeman. I never use enhancements and don't see any need to buy them. It is at most going to give what like 5 extra minutes? That and from reading other posts on this forum, the enhancers aren't working very well. Hit the button on your toolbar for whatever buff and enhancers aren't being used. So why should i waste my money on them? If i am wrong, that is fine. Please go ahead and enlighten me on the benefits of enhancers cause honestly at this point, i just don't understand their benefits. I understand that a 3 hour buff not being acceptable and i don't expect an enhancer to change the type of buff that i am giving.
