Thread: Prices for new ID techniques

Actually, I don't plan on selling holoemotes but for Stat Migration, I figure somewhere around 30-40k depending on the economy of the game. And as far as the colors, I'd venture to guess my general income and amount of customers will rise no matter what. I am paid based off of the "pay what you think my time and skills are worth" basis so it's hard to say. I'd venture to guess at LEAST 15k for the new colors.
I was thinking 50K for stat migration, but I don't think people will pay that much. I asked the guild today and the arguement was that it shouldn't cost much because it doesn't use resources. Now personally, I think my time is worth more than most resources, but apparently a lot of people disagree. Anyway, I am just not willing to run to a tent and sit and do nothing for 10 minutes for 5-10K. My guess is most other image designers won't want to do this either because it is extremely boring! So far all practical purposes, stat migration may not happen much in the game anymore.

I agree. I can see the combat classes/holo grindersbeing very upset, at first, when they realize the change to stat migrations. People always fear change.
However, speaking as one who also plays combat classes, I don't see this being a big deal unless one changes professions on a regular basis. Once one migrates his/her stats for a profession, one tends to stick with it unless one needs a change for a new profession.
LOL! 50k for10 mins work? (or waiting rather). You would make a million in a day with that price.
So if someone needed a 5 point migration to get a new piece or armor on it would cost him 50K? Ridiculous.

Well lets see.... When really good meat or hides spawn, at 100cpu a ranger can gather 500 units (50000 credits) worth in 10 minutes. The fact is that I won't be sitting the the tent making a milllion a day because I don't want to! I did not become an image designer to do things like that!If you want cheap or free stat migration whenever you feel like it and an image designer is needed to do it, I wish you luck. That image designer won't be me, however.

Hey if you dont like it, dont pay it - go find some other IDer and pester them.
Umm speaking as a combat junkie:
I migrate about twice a month.To keep pace with new gear,new tactics etc. As it is, even though I have Image Designer friends I don't like to pester them too often for changes( I get Image Designed about as often too)as I know they have other things they are doing. As it becomes harder and harder to find an image designer I start to wonder what exactly I (or those who don't know an Image Designer) supposed to do? For those who think you won't be slammed I can say two words that will be a day you will want to go into hiding "combat rebalance"
I was thinking 5k per stat migrated, 10k per holo-emote.
I will probably lower them later on but Image Designers will probably be sought after right after the patch.
