86. Explaining how to use the droid.
85. Listening to "oh that sucks" after explaining
84. having to do missions to make money to support being a DE
Doh, I forgot what number its on... 84 I think...
84. You will frequently die tending harvesters because if you are a DE it looks bad to use a cowardly gurrek to protect you instead of a probot.
83. It can make you sick to craft the same two or three cookie cutter droids over and over day after day after day after day...
82. You cringe every time you hear a group of people complaining about how badly their droids suck.
81. You feel you have to appologize up front when giving your prices.
80. You have to explain on a daily basis that BLL *really* is a useless walking billboard.
79. You reach the total pinnacle of your profession just to create the ADVANCED BLL! (See 80 above) which is just as useless but can have three (3) armor modules!
78. although you may be a MASTER DE you are unable to use a simple tool to 'fix' your own droid in any way.
"I am not a Droid Engineer, but I play one on Lowca"
76. Value of droid < Value of resources
75. Droid chassis for house furniture (Lawn Gnomes) > Actual working droid.
74. Non-CH pet > Best Probot possible
73. Joe Schmoe non-DE can have 1 droid out whereas you MASTER DE can have..... 1 droid out.
72. The greater the level of DE the less useful the droid. (protocol, BLL, ABLL, AProtocol, etc)
90. Droids Suxx0r
89. I want your best droid.
88. Master DE's still get pity tips...
