Harvesters do not become useless where they sit. The constant resource shift means that the down time for them is very little even if you leave them in one place.



I suppose you are right, but it is a business I don't like myself. I have found myself harvesting junk resources just because I didn't feel like moving the harvester, and felt embarassed to do so. But it did return a net profit most of the time.


It had the same kind of newbie feel to me as harvesting nuna meat, breaking factory crates on the bazaar, or selling low quality products cheap. It gave a positive return at the cost of some pride. Not the sort of thing I wanted one of my charactersto do oncehe was out of newbie clothes.


I suppose though, that having a cashflow farm with a dozen heavies pumping out marketable product could be something to take pride in no matter how poor the product.








Well if you are in the business of selling cheap resources for grinding the quality is immaterial. If you get a good shift then all the better.

Sooo....if you want to continue in the game as a Master level crafter or a professional miner, guess which player SOE would prefer you to be? The single account holding player or the multi-account holding player .


The reverse side of the coin is the argument put forward by those who fork out for multiple accounts and that is; why should they spend extra money to have extra accounts whilst others get the benefit (well a partial benefit on extra lots) from cross-server lot trades?


I lots share for storage houses, factories and 8 statics. The statics I could live without, but the storage and factories would kill me and my business on day 1.
