Oh, give me a break. So the guy masters merchant quickly and then drops it. Big deal. How does that effect you and your merchanting in any way?

He should be applauded for creative thinking. I got my XP the old fashioned way, by running a business.. but so what? IMO, some people are a little too dramatic on this issue.

"How does this affect me in any way" ? It affects me by rubbing in the fact that playing a profession as it should be played, with no macroing and no bribed grindfests is not valued in any way. It affects me by throwing in my face that my profession is just a used tissue to be thrown away once you are finished with it.

I already knew that noone values this, but I do not enjoy getting it slapped in my face in the very forum belonging to the very profession it is trivializing.

Want to grind and throw away professions ? Fine. But dont wave it in our face while chanting "it doesnt affect you".

I think SOE really did their best to totally mess the SWG economy up with the holocrons. NOt only did they sink the economy, they made our hard earned professions lose status and respect. All professions are now considered menial, easy to attain and of no consequence.

The market is flooded with items "grinded" out by 2 day masters who also give away tons of stuff to guild members (who then do not buy our merchandise). The cantinas are full of AFK "grinders" who could care less about the integrity of an entertainer. When a "real" entertainer goes in to visit with the customers, dance and have fun...there is no room and everyone is in a push to get grouped for the exp.

The entire feel of the game where professions mattered and counted went out the window with the holocron. It was SHEER IDIOCY on SOEs part to make holocrons and have mastered professions by the bucket load be the end result instead of appropriate quests for appropriate professions.

But HEY...who are we? SOE are the big thinkers and developers, we are just the players who pay to enjoy SOE's screw ups.
