LMAO I thought I was the only one!
Here are some of mine:
1) When you never think you are going to reach Master DE you grind the 50k Duralloy Steel you have.
2) You reach Master and Duralloy doesnt show up for two months then.
3) You pay 9k for 400 units of Duralloy out of despiration.
4) Resources finally shift with the new patch BUT harvesters are messed up and take twice the power.
5) You pay 25k for a waypoint bounty to the resource only to find out then the Harvester problem.
6) When you finally craft your first Binary Load Lifter using and it crit fails.
Our NON duralloy part of the show
7) Your vendor has two items in it to keep it looking busy.
8) Those two items are battery crates.
9) While waiting for a ship at a starport you know you're a DE when:
a) you get a buyer who asks you to make a droid quick (with 5 min or less) before the ship gets there.. Cancels his order when the ship arrives and leave because you werent fast enough.
b) you get sick to your stomach watching CH call their pets and have them do tricks
c) the reason you are taking a shuttle is becausethe buyer wont come to your vendor and will only purchase if you hand deliver it (you also waive the trasportation cost bc you need the credits to keep up your harvestor maintence).
10) when you dread the daily /tell of "What does it mean when the customization fades"
11) Your screenshot folder contains several shots of you with Nym's Droidekas.
Cameo - Master DE
... you've wasted half of your life crafting droids to be labelled "Master Droid Engineer" !!!!
...when you head to Endor to solo missions for 19k using sample DNA....what? This isn't the Bioengineers forum? Oh, it's DROIDengineer. I'm sorry.
lol, just joking fellas, I'll tip higher next time, cause this was a funny, yet sad post.
Good luck with the next patch.

You read the "updated issues" thread in the annoncements form and realize you arn't even as important as fishing poles.
- you happily harvest tons of 50oq steel and brag to your friends on your good luck
- your backpack is filled to the brim with resources, just in case of that last second droid order that you dare not miss
- you have emailed at least a half dozen e-mails explaining droids to yourself
- you are capable of carrying on 5 conversations about droids at the same time without breaking a sweat
- building your first Binary Load Lifter was a thrill
- selling your first Binary Load Lifter was filled with tells of, "Sorry, but this droid really has no use whatsoever, other than a walking billboard"
- you watch with dreadedfascination as your very first combat droid, DZ70 Fugitive Tracking Droid, gets mauled by a Gnort
- your friends question your sanity

Man Mohi, those are great. I just got finished looking over my list of E-mails that I have sent to myself, right before I read this post. Was making sure that they were 'up-to-date', while answering 4 different droid questions
....you keep coming back to thread that is filled with some depressing material about your profession of choice, just so you can have a good laugh.
....you see Masters of your profession dropping faster than a DZ70 in combat.
....you run around with the 'Master Droid Engineer' title on and people /tell you 'Can you fix my AT-ST?'
....you recommend this thread to those that are thinking about becoming a NDE.
You know your a De when people ask you how to name their Protocol Droids.
-When your the only guy with a droid with a repair module in it.
-ONly person with a Power droid.
-When you feel depressed when playin the game.
-When your friend whosa weaponsmith just turnes master and is your store partner makes way more money than you in 1 week than you did in 3 months getting to master DE.
-when your only shop furniture are droid chassis.
-you mkae chassis with color because it breaks up the monotany of grey droids.
-when you feel like cancelling your acount.
- You wake up screaming from dream you had that the next patch allows Rancors to be used as crafting stations.
- You find yourself pondering how something with a name that starts "Cowardly" can totally ANIHILATE something thats called a "Fugitive Hunter"
- When watching the arena scene in episode 2 you secretly wish the battle droids would stop attacking the Jedi and turn thier guns on the Acklay and the little *^$#% thats obviously controling him from somewhere.
- You see a player walking through the streets of Mos Espa with a droid following him and you know he either bought it from you, or the only OTHER DE who hasn't surrendered his skills yet.
- Whenever you boot your login and it says "loading patch" instead of "play" you grab your head in horror and wonder what will stop working.
- The first item of your weekly PA meeting is the guild leader asking everyone to console you.
*note...this
* note: The last item of the above post ACTUALLY happened to me...( an actual quote..."Next time you guys want to b*^ch about your profession, just think of poor Shale...")
I kid you NOT.

you know your a de when,
you buy the lego technics droideka to satisfy your need to build.... yes pathetic but true...
You know you are a MasterArchitect when:
-you get more tells for training then for sales
-your final product sells for less then the resources are worth
-losing 100k ore is common place
-you cry on a crit fail and wait 24hours to harvest the resources to try again
-you know what /rotate right 45 and /move back 10 mean
-you look at your DE friend and know it could be worse
