It used to be normal to ask people to go to their trade forums or look at the stickies at the top of the forum, but I agree that times do change. It is a whole new group of people on this forum in the past few months and it is *this* group who are the majority of the image designers. Not people like me. So I agree. I need to change or go the way of the dinosaur. I apologize to everyone who I offended in this thread.Since this forum is not really helpful to me anymore and most of my friends have left, I will probably not spend much time here anymore anyway.Message Edited by Gyopi on 07-08-2004 07:57 PM
Don't feel bad Gyopi. I'm an ID with the title turned off. IMO Runesabre ruined the profession. Ranting about it was good catharsis but nothing more. I've voted with my feet. Runesabre made ID the way he wanted it but I don't have to play it and I won't. I'm keeping master ID but just so I can do my own makeovers.

I think this is a really great attitude. I haven't cared for the CM changes or the jedi changes or smuggler changes, but I play the way *I* want to play -- not how someone else wants me to play. I think that is a major part of roleplaying too. I hope everyone adopts your attitude, Gyopi and gets more involved in the roleplaying aspects of this game. I like it....
good post.

That's the part I was hoping would settle. So far it hasn't. Who knows, maybe someday it will—but I fear that in making us "critical" the soul of not only the profession, but of this forum was lost.
As to moving on, I already have. I still ID and tailor, but I've also picked up pikeman, which I'm greatly enjoying, and I'm working towards both smuggler and commando, which I expect to enjoy—especially as the combat balance and smuggler revamps draw nearer. My point was simply this: I think we lost something, both in-game, and on the forums, and that loss hurts. To the point where I'm not sure that it's worth continuing on here—we've seen many of the "old guard" leave recently, and I for one am shocked that this many long-standing masters leaving has not signalled that there's a huge problem. Instead it signals that it's time to move on. A shame, but if that's the way the world is, that's the way it is.
hmmm... I think I do better understand your point now. I wish I could have been around the ID forums in those days. I have spent so long in the *hate* forums that I feel like I missed some really good converstation. I hope things move back toward your memories. I too enjoy good conversation and stimulating new threads. Some patience and work will be required to bring it back into that state. We may have to be the ones to start those new and useful threads to bring back those folks. I, for one, hope you stay. I have enjoyed discussing in this thread immensely.

Same here Juju. I'm sure everyone knows I hate how 8.1 was implemented (not the changes themselves, just the way they were handled) and I too tend to ID only for myself/close friends…. I had hoped the forums would settle after enough time, but it looks like they simply metastasized into something that quite frankly, I don't like. So, like Gyopi, I find myself in a position of either accepting the new order, or moving on. I'm strongly considering the latter.
Change is part of life, both real and game. Sometimes we like the change, sometimes we don't. Regardless, we have to deal with it. These forums are replete with change upon change and the cries of joy and anguish that accompany them. Perhaps, if you are not comfortable with the new changes it is time for you to try new professions. Reminiscing about old days can be sweet but unproductive as well. There are new IDs coming up and they are just going to have to make the best of what was given to them. Remaining in a place that you don't care for anymore just can tend to make you cancerous to others. There is so much to this game. So many things to do, content to create, people to meet and converse (or kill, whichever your preference), etcetera. Those who leave will, I'm sure, find a new niche to be happy in for awhile. Just enjoy. Don't focus on the negativity of the change.

For right now, I still keep my MID tag on instead of my Master BE tag, but if you look around the tents, you will never see me. If you want my image design services, you need to come to my shop on Talus. This means that you won't be able to have your stats migrated, but that is not something I was interested in anyway! If you *do* come to my shop and talk to Momoko (I am usually logged on as her) you can get new clothes and a complete makeover! If you are just looking for a stat migration, or if you happen to be on another planet and want your hair turned blue very quicky, there are others who would be more than happy to do this for you!
So, I still image design, but I refuse to do it the way that they have changed it into (sitting in a tent all day doing stat migrations). Instead I will play it the way that *I* want to, which is in my boutique, giving people who care enough about how they look to travel the best new look that I can give them!

Its no trouble. It is just some of us discussing what direction the forum might go in.
