Mine are just about dead. I'm whipping Ghosty out on a regular basis to try to whip up some business, but the new game has made consumers lose all confidence. Just as in the real world, when that happens, the economy suffers.

Actually pretty decent. I've been turning customers away - just not in the mood to craft right now.

No sales last night but at the present time I think its safer in the long run until we know more about what crafted items will be around.


I've set up a special vendor barking that anything bought from my vendors are at risk and that I won't be making any more in the interim.

Ditto. And what's the point crafting anything that will most likely be bugged by an upcoming conversion? This change is wrong on so many levels.

I ditto that ditto. Droid Engineer was the second proffession I master, Artisan being the first. And I'm kinda feeling like someone who was just told they were fired.

As for sales, they're tapered off a bit. But most of my money as of late has been from Vehicle Repair kits, and that's to be expected since pub 24. BH droids are still selling Ok I think. I forgot to check last week and I'm out of Seekers. I'll have more tonight, but that may have thrown sales.

I continue to craft because that's what I like to do in this game. So there are major changes coming in a couple of weeks, so what? I'm going to keep playing my game until then. I'm going to enjoy the last 2 weeks of being a true DE.

Last night Ahazi was reflooded with supercheap BH Droids. *sigh!* It was great the day ToOW came out. There was much less competition in this area (people were on Mustafar instead of crafting) and for that one day the average price of BH Droids was where it should be. Back to business as usual now, though. 2K for a crate of 25? I won't even bother making them at that price.

I have Ghosty working overtime to try and pull in sales and improve things. People always tell me how much they love him. Too bad he will most likely lose his Foam Effect (Entertainer only can use the module, and I'll lose my Entertainer subabilities in NGE). Maybe I'll just paint him a gaudy color to make up for it. He's white right now to match his name.

P.S. With only 9 classes, even more people are going to be making BH Droids. I can only imagine what that is going to do to the market then. Supply will far outstrip demand. Oh, well. I never liked making those things. I choose to see this as a good thing. I may never have to craft another BH Droid again. 100 credits for a crate of 25 will probably be the new standard LOL!

Most people wont buy anything because they are not sure if it will work in 2 weeks.
