Why not be a DE? It's a game, you seem to enjoy playing the role. So why not? It's not gonna show you the meaning of life or anything, but it will fill some time and put some credits in your pocket. I havent heard that SOE wants to "phase out" crafting. They seem to take great pride in their in-game economy.

Over time, that's becoming less and less of a reason for me.

And, IMO,this game is feeling less like Star Wars all the time (in relation to droids)....and more like something...err.....not-Star-Wars.

Same here.


If it's still fun for you, go for it. DE's tend to help each other out. I myself used to help people I knew were going to become competitors. They'd roll in and ask some questions and see if I thought they could sell MSE droids with level 1 storage.


I kept 200 or so crated level 6 item storage and level 6 med modules in a backpack in my store basement. I'd 'sell' them a crate of each for 2000cr on credit and advise them to sell the item storage MSEs they could make for 6k each on the bazaar.


I used to love doing that - they'd end up with a hefty bank balance and they'd actually be selling decent droids right off the bat.


Unfortunately, since CU came I just don't have fun anymore. Don't see any new DE's, and it's oftentimes too dangerous for any crafter to wander around Naboo.
