Thread: Oi. I've done *one* stat migration...
and i add all the people in my line to my group so i usually have 4 or 5 people in my group at a time, so it can get quite lively.
The worst thing i had happen was i did one guy and his stats didnt change, did the next girl and she did an emote and it closed the window. so i had to do them both again (free of course) these were one right after the other so that was well over 40 minutes to do 2 stat changes

Yup, sadly I discovered that after I have done most of the stat migrations, but plopping down my omnibox and play some funky tunes, or slip into something comfy to dance in made it much more bearable. It also lead to some unexpected tips too
I've done a few. Not really a problem except for yesterday afternoon. Now, I really just do things for tips but I figured I'd set a price for stat migrations and holoemotes. Originally I was charging 10k - 1k per minute. Then a friend said I should charge more. So I thought 25k would be good. Well, the first guy comes in (Master Doctor by the way), and asks for a stat migration. I say it'll be 25k and will take 10 minutes. Well, he gets irrate. Calls me a price gouging b*tch! He gets very rude and starts shouting that I am price gouging and that IDs are all the same.
So...being a very tolerant person, I eventually ask him how much he would pay. He says (of course) 'free, b*tch'.
So now I just say tip whatever you feel is good. I hardly made any money before the new changes and I know that I charge low prices when people ask me to set a price. I grow tired of people trashing my profession because its not one where I go and kill things.
(Also the fact that he was a doctor bugged me. I'm guessing that a doc could maked double that amount in 10 minutes...actually... lets figure this out. 10 minutes. 2 minutes per full buffs (I think)...so this doctor could concievably make 50k in that time...and they sit there for hours. Granted resources cost, but probably they can make that back in a half hour.)
Sorry. Alittle P.O.-ed about this. I hardly made any money before with ID, and a miniscule amount with dancing. I have wants and needs too.
Be kind to your Image Designer, please. We didn't ask to do stat migration. It was given to us to actually make some money instead of pocket change.
Chiaa
Also, the reason they made stat migration ten minutes is because they didn't want people abusing the system if they made it be an instant or 2 minute thing.
As for pricing I've adopted a system that's working out fairly well. I tell the customer this is the IG equivalant of my missions. So Whatever you would make in 10 mintues of doing missions is fine.
I haven't had anyone outright cheat me...yet. Although I have had several go oh ok, and try and pay me like 70k. When I told one that was too much, pay less, he paid 35k, then tipped me 100k. I like this sysetm because it accounts for n00bs, as well as l33t d00dz.
