I decided to log on a character on a server a usually dont play on.
I stood in the image design tent for 2 HOURS without seeing an image designer.
The character really needed his stats migrated to be playable in a combat capacity.
While I was there 5 other players came looking for the same service and mentioned it always being empty.
Is this what the image design people and Devs invisioned?
Well maybe I will have better luck next week.

You have typed this same thing in I think five different threads. We get it already. Spamming it may ease your frustration, but it will not fix your problem.

Try doing a seacrh for players that are master image designers. I never just hang out in the tent wating for business. I'm usually somewhere in a city and get tells all the time for image designing.

you don't need a master IDto change stats anyway. just use search.

Most ID's do NOT like the tents ( would you like to be tied to the same 4 boring walls all day ) and more to the point tend not to travel. Most live in their cities or in cantinas and TBH if you ask one to fly to you you'll probably have to bribe them heavilly to do it. We did NOT want to be the only method of migration and did NOT want to be tied to tents.
For example I do a lot of my work on TC. All my IDing is done in the NU Cantina. I even have a char that needs migrating and just havn't had the inclination to get them to theed ( 2.5K away ) to do the job.

I can not speak for every Master Image Designer in the game but I can speak for myself. I dont like the tents. I dont like the fact that there isnt a droid module that would allow me to do the samething at my house. My house is about 1200m west of Theed. If i travel to Theed it takes me 30 minutes when i go past the cantina to do anything because of the lag. My chat is laggy in Theed, I type something and it takes 2 minutes for it to show up in spatial chat.
Like Shivash said, we didnt want to be the only way to migrate stats, personally i would have been thrilled if we could have done it faster instead of being the only method. Waiting 10 minutes to make your stat sliders move isnt why i became an image designer, i just wanted to make peoeple pretty and spend sometime talking to friends. I like to work from my house outside of Theed and only go that way if i HAVE to.
Since this revamp, I havent been searchable. If youre on Lowca in Theed and look for image designers, youre not going to find me there. Give me a droid module and we can talk business.

makrevmving player ability to stat migration has given image designer just one visit and then they will never see people again
in that visit they will max mind skill and have the rest at the highest possible for there character then they will visit doctors to get buffed never to visit a image designer again
only way that going to be changed is if they nerf doctor buffs
my simple fix would be restore old system of stat migration
and allow image designer to instant stat migrate over say 2 mins
that will make it viable for everyone

Thanks for your replies. Seems like alot of the image designers didn't want to be the only way to migrate stats.
I did do a search for image designers while waiting. In the two hour period none were found.
I will return to Naboo tonight perhaps I will have better luck.
I also logged a bug report ticket.
The holocron in-game needs to be updated saying you must track down an image designer to migrate stats.
Still gives the old message about how a player can migrate stats, although the process is slow.

Check out some player city cantinas [would suggest NPC city cantinas, but those are bot central now], you may be able to find an ID that way.
I know I typically keep my ID title off since I typically am 'doing other things' and don't wish to deal with someone half-way across the planet asking me for changes [of course, this isn't much better, but hey
]. Also, check the MID list on this forum and leave some of them an email and see if you can get a time frame that's agreeable.

I do wonder how we're expected to meet the demand for stat migration. For many IDs, stat migration is a chore they don't enjoy, so they don't do it often. Add this to the fact that the slower skill gain is driving off many potential new IDs, and we're left witha major gap in the market.

I don't know either myself.
I think, the current time-rate decision was based on ID data that happened to include Transients.
It also was probably based on IDs regularly having their titles up and being willing to work
. As ya said, alot of ID really do not want to touch Stat Migration since it takes just so long. Also, it's been my experience that many ID don't lurk around with their title up [for miscellenous reasons].The Salons are pretty dull places too. Spruce them up a bit, give them a little more floorspace, have some ambient light and decorations. Make it at least pleasant to be in, and not like I'm some squad leader detailing plans for an assault on the pimples of the zabrak...

I am a master image designer and master carbineer and to be honest i dont like sitting in a tent for long periods. I have gone to tents and sat there and had not one person ask for image design work. So i go out and do missions instead. I keep my master id badge on so it isnt that people cant search and find me.
Got to rember also people have real lifes and maybe at work or asleep or out enjoying themselfs rather than sit in an id tent for 24 hours a day.
