Not trying to start a war, but I thought of something. A lot of people complain that we can only charge 10-15k for buffs when the people who can use them can make 1mil in that time. Here goes the math part.

- A buff takes 16 per stat * 6 = 96 sec.

- 96 sec + 24sec (for nice even numbers) = 120 The 24 is an estimate between customers, again for the sake of using round numbers.

- There are 210 minutes in 3.5 hrs which is the approximate time a buff lasts.

- That means: in 210 minutes you can potentially buff 105 customers (in CNet this could happen). (210/2=105)

- 105 * 10k = 1,050,000 the potential number of credits.

- 105 * 15k = 1,575,000

Now obviously it cost more to buff 105 customers then it does to buy a buff and go hunting, so all we are talking about is profit margin. IMHO profit margin is not a valid arguement because other professions have lowsy profit margin. Take architects for example. I have never been one, but I have read in more than one place that their margins are lowsy, thus the reason I shied away... as well as the amount of resouce hunting.

My point is that our revenue potential seems relatively in line. If my math is wrong or I am missing the point, please let me know... and preferrable without flaming, thanks.

One clarification - you are talking revenue, not profit margin. If you factor in cost of goods sold, the combat classes come out way ahead (as has been documented on numerous ocassions).

Other than that - I have no problem with your estimate of 105 patients in a 3.5 hour buffing session.

while on Flurry, don't visit Ojes Yobe's Liquidation Vendors just 800M from Theed starport on Naboo (neg5219 3419) - cause they ain't there anymore! They are now exclusively located in Mos Athens Mall

reasonable.

usually in 1 1/2 hours i make 400k buffing.

so lets take you maths further.

1 buff per 120 seconds @ 15k

on intrepid its 25k per 30 buffs (1 stat) so 150k for 30 buffs (all stats) = 5k per stat set.

ok, my bivoli cost me 150k for +24 wt (2 units x 25 ) or 3k per bivoli. bivoli lasts say 15 minutes. cost per minute = 200cr

unfortunately i cant remember how much droid batteries., but lets make it 60 per min for misc

ok so cost = 5k + (biv 2mins 400) + (misc 120) = 5520

revenue = 15000

profit = 9480 per 120 seconds

or 79 cr per second profit.

there are 12600 seconds in 3.5 hours

= 995400 profit in that 3.5 hours.

now lets roudn teh figures. to 1 million profit

this will take 211 minutes 3 hours 31 minutes.......
