Server: Bloodfin
DE Level:Master
How long you've held this level:1 month
How long have you been working on DE:Since launch.
Current Credits:20k
Most Credits Had:150k
Do you consider yourself successful in your business?Fairly, I have a good shop location on Tatooine, and can sell at least 2 droids a night if I sit in town advertising. Those that have bought from me (though never purchasing more droids) have referred their friends.
Are you happy you went with DE?Very, As odd as it seems I still love my profession. Its broken, some customers are jerks and I still hate getting the old "why'd you chose that **edit**ty profession I heard they were broke?" but all in all I'd do it again in a heartbeat (also dont plan on leaving the profession anytime soon)

> youServer: Lowca
DE Level: 4/4/4/4
How Long: 6 weeks
Time working on DE: ~3 Months
Current Creds: ~100k (earned running Artisan and Pistoller missions)
Max Creds: ~150K (probably around 2M earned over the chars lifetime)
Successful?: I sell 30-50K in BH droids a week at a vendor cost that renders all profit a myth
Happy I went DE?: If I wanted fun I would dump DE, no I would dump SWG in a second. I just want to make a Droid I can be proud to produce, and not something I have to spend a half hour explaining, just to have someone laugh at me for. I want Droids that are a source of Pride, not a reason to hide in shame from.
Server: Tempest
DE Level: Master (1st on Tempest at that (god, I need a life))
How long: Ur... good question. 1-2 weeks after Tempest went live? Couple o' months?
How long working on it: Since Tempest went live.
Current credits: Lots, but maybe 1 million or so of them are due to droids - rest is armor.
Most credits: Lots, but maybe 2 million at the high point from droids. Armor pays MUCH better.
Success: Sure. Had a lot of fun, and have a pretty good reputation etc. Figured out at one point that in the first month I was a DE I made 14 million credits - and spent them all as quickly. Made a bunch of friends in the process.
Am I glad? Definitely. I like what I've been able to do and I'm sure that the DE profession will be getting some boosts. We can make some pretty interesting stuff as it is, and I can't wait to see what we make in the future.

Everyone needs to be aware that the NPC vendors charge just 24 credits per day in maintenance, no matter how much is placed on them.
