Droid Engineer Archive

i dont make for 3 reasons:

1. combat droids are TERRIBLE - i dont wanna sell people crappy droids, and probots are crappy.

2. i mastered WS, and the demand is insane

3. in all honestly, DE made me a fortune. there are a lot of lower lvl de's who struggle/are struggling. i know some, and i send all my would be customers to them. it makes their day when they can sell a 30-35k droid. i know masters who will not sell one droid in a single day....sorta sad what the profession has left us.

I know many DE's that are selling droids. Many happen to do other things and make droids and gain experience as they go. This can be much more fun than leveling as fast as you can to make the best droids the quickest you can as others may do.

1) Not everyone was able to get the 100% XP from factories at the start of the game
2) Not everyone is in a PA

I think there may be other reasons as well, such as pricing. Some people want to sell at a high price, which maybe they can.

Some people don't mind selling for less and selling more, building a customerbase along the way which is needed more if you ware not in a huge PA like ACRID.

And not everyones PA supports grinding.. I'm head of resources and crafting for our PA. And i don't allow guild resources used for grinding unless we have a specific project and we don't have the crafters at suffcient level.

Survey missions still pay well to go buy resources for grinding. I teach all my crafters how to survey effectivly.. if i worked at it i can give up all my skills and become a master DE in 2 weeks if i wanted too. but thats if i played 8 hours aday doing nothing but grinding.

However i realize that other PA member to contribute to the grinding of others but i don't see those resources.. (I only ask for 205 of resources)
