Thread: What question do you get that drives you crazy??
Usually from someone who has been in the game for over a year now, sooo... the fact that he hasn't seen ANY body tattoos in the game thus far hasn't been a tipoff, I guess.

But I hate when people ask me to do what I think looks good. Forhair or one part of the body it'sfine, but fora whole makeoverI like to have some kinda guidelines /shrug
I've never minded getting this request as an ID, but I HATE getting it as a tailor. Physical beauty (especially the pixellated variety) is easier to define than personal taste, and I do know how to make an attractive character. When people come to me for work and say "just make me look good" they have never left disappointed. But I blatantly refuse to accept this request as a tailor, because if I make something according to my own taste, the response is invariably the same: "ummm lol thats ok but can u do it in all black lolz" which just makes me shudder.
Agreed ^_^ At least with ID there are no resources ![]()
But when someone comes up to me and asks for a makeover with clothes and ID I get so lost =/ The majority of people are very happy with what I do, it just takes me ages to decide what to do with someone else's toon and where to start, as you don't know what their tastes are. I know what's attractive, but I don't like making clones of all the other toons out there.

I get the tattoo one all then time.
I don't have a direct fee either, but I usually say something like "there's nocharge but a tip of any amount would be greatly appreciated." If they ask I tell them a general figure from 5-20k based on the work that was done. I wind up not even doing that for a lot of people (new players, friends, guildies, people I just like) and ladies' cosmetics changes are always free--every girl deserves to have lip stick that matches her outfit.
Anyway, I hate to haggle prices and I get stiffed a lot with the "tips are appreciated" thingbut mostlyby Jedi and Zabraks.
honestly?
the only words which really bug me
"can you do ID?"

In their defense, there used to be (still is?) a bug that you could put your MID tag on drop all of ID and the MID tag would still be there. I can't tell you the number of times I've gone up to someone that said Master Ranger to ask for training, and got the :
"LOLZZ you NOOB I droped that LAM3 @zz profession weeks ago!!!!!1111!"
So I understand the "Are you an ID" even with your tag up.

Nope that is long gone.
You cannot fly a flag without the box that grants it, and if you had one from before and dropped the skill it reverts to none shown.
I had my ID tag up in coronet while afk and got this message:
"Hi, when you get back could you answer a few questions about what you can design?"
Uhoh.. Things I hate being asked?
This is a call for...
CIROCCO'S RANT OF THE WEEK!
1. "Hey, can you ID me? I'll pay." ( This is my all time BIGGEST pet peeve and always results in this automatic response which I actually now have a macro for. "I would be happy to IF you hadn't just insulted me and my entire profession by offering to pay as if it is a kindness on your part. Payment for services rendered is a natural thing in todays society, being willing to pay is not an issue. You should ALWAYS pay someone when they do a service such as what I do for people. Good day." this is followed immediatley by /addignore.)
2. "Hey, can u make me look like Anakin nthe3 movie??" ( I now charge 250k for this.)
3. "Hey can you make me look like Maul?" ( I am SICK of seeing people that look like Darth Maul. This is a 1 million credit UPFRONT payment session.)
4. "Can u make me luk like Obi-1?" (Yes. I got asked this typed just in that way.I told him I would once he learned not to butcher the english language.)
5. "Hey, can you ID me plz? I'm at xxxx -xxxx" (I don't travel. I never have traveled. I never will travel. The ONLY time when I will travel is if they're in the same city as me and are in the ID tent while I'm not. If they came to the ID tent and couldn't find an ID then I feel I should come to the tent for them.)

2. "Hey, can u make me look like Anakin nthe3 movie??" ( I now charge 250k for this.) Ugh fortunately i havent been asked for this yet.
3. "Hey can you make me look like Maul?" ( I am SICK of seeing people that look like Darth Maul. This is a 1 million credit UPFRONT payment session.) Do they actually pay it?
4. "Can u make me luk like Obi-1?" (Yes. I got asked this typed just in that way.I told him I would once he learned not to butcher the english language.) I would too. I hate when people completely misspell words. One or 2, that's ok. but when their entire whatever they are saying is messed up, it irritates the fire out of me.
5. "Hey, can you ID me plz? I'm at xxxx -xxxx" (I don't travel. I never have traveled. I never will travel.

I always reply I i'm at the Starport, or cantina or something. Sometimes i'll run to the tent, but not usually. Most of the time they come to me, if they dont come, oh well.
