I'm a Master Droid Engineer, I make droids, I sell Droids, sometimes I sell artisan goods. Here is a list of things I do not make or sell:
Houses
Ships
Armor
Weapons
Pets
Food
Clothes
So please stop asking for these things, my tag says Master Droid Engineer!
I cannot sell you a vender.
I cannot change your looks or your stats.
I cannot fix your speeder.
I cannot change the modules that are already in your droid.
I will not give you large sums of money.
I will not trade the MSE droid you got off the Bazaar for one of my high-end combat, medical, or craftingdroids

I found this thread at work on Friday and have been useing it to get a good laugh as I wait for the clock to tick by. Reading it gave me a new apreciation for all the crafters and what they go through. Well after reading all the posts regarding people saying 'mak me a weapon wit teh GOOD stuff' I resolved to be more trusting of my crafter/merchent friends. Until Sunday when in game....
I buy an item from my friend's vendor, and he walks into the shop about ten seconds later.
Him- "That armor (starship armor) you bought, put it back, I can make you better. That stuff is for the general customer, not people I actually care about."
Me- Thinking of this very thread "So all the stuff on your vendor is crap?'
Him- "Yes"
Me- "I knew it!!"

Ohhhh, I love this thread. 
This has kept me amused and awake all through the wee hours of the morning.
This has kept me amused and awake all through the wee hours of the morning. I'll start my contribution with not so much of a rant, but more of a thank you...
Here I am, doing resource-buying runs while grinding AS (my first-ever crafting profession O_O) and was in need of some specific resources... silly me, I did not wait or ask a friend what I'd need at master... no, I'm buying specific things for types of armor I will hardly make. 
Go me. Brilliant. I think, in that respect, I almost qualify for a stupid-customer award myself.
Go me. Brilliant. I think, in that respect, I almost qualify for a stupid-customer award myself. But, all that aside, here I am, standing at a vendor. Browse, browse, browse. I must admit, I was surprised- I am well-known for being a cynic 99% of the time - when the owner of the shop, who I won't name to spare him excessive embarrassment, but he knows who he is actually stops whatever he is doing and asks me if there's anything special I am looking for.
actually stops whatever he is doing and asks me if there's anything special I am looking for. This alone earns major brownie points in my book.
When it turns out he doesn't have any of what I am looking for, I think to myself that I'll just need to keep looking. I am susprised yet again when he tells me that he's just informed several of his friends of what I need, and hopefully one of them will have it and contact me soon -- and surprised again when one does!
I love Kettemoor merchants.
Now on to the stuff you're really here for.
I'm a roleplayer. About a week ago, I'm up to my lekku in some very confusing stuff, and the following happens:
n00b: u on?
me: (No.) Yes.
n00b: u make armor?
[note: I have refused to wear my Master AS tag since the second day I had the skill. Within an hour of having it, I got three /tells to ask me to make RIS, and two more in which I couldn't tell if the person was offering to buy RIS components, or trying to sell them.]
me: (Uh-oh.) Yes. I don't currently have a vendor at the moment, though, as I just recently got into the business, and am working only on special orders right now. This means an order will take me a couple of days.
n00b: how much it cost
me: (Oh, not much, just your soul.) That depends, what kind do you need?
n00b: how much do padded cost
me: ([sends message to guild threatening to harm whoever is sending n00bs to me, as they all know that I am overloaded with just guild special orders atm]) That depends. If you need high resists, like kinetic, probably about 200k. I can do something lower for about 150k.
[Yes. This is probably overpriced. My standard "if I quote too high maybe they'll go away" approach.]
n00b: ok i dont have 200k so make me the other 1
me: (Well, at least he's buying something.) Okay. Please send me an e-mail order, so I do not forget. It will take me a couple of days, as I won't be online tomorrow, I can get started on it on Monday.
n00b: monday?!
me: Yes. I am not sure how you got my name, but I run a very small business at the moment, and will have to special-make it for you, with the colors you want.
n00b: ok ill look around n if i dont find better ill email u monday
me: (Thank god.) Okay.
To be fair, I did find out who referred him and thanked said person profusely for thinking of me. Said person, funnily enough, expressed surprise two days ago when he was reminded I was an AS.... he did apologize for whether the n00b was rude or not.

Where do I even start?
Anyone that has seen a few of my posts on these forums will know that I don't have alot of Patience(understatement).........so with that in mind, this was from a guildy..
Guildy=white
Me=Yellow
Make me some grenades
I don't make grenades
But I saw you using some
IPerchased them from another Weaponsmith
Well just make me a few
I don't make grenades
Why?
They eat up too much factory time
But I just want a few
I DO NOT MAKE GRENADES!!!!
Just make me a few to test with
Theres some on X vendor in the Mall, buy those to test with.
How much are they?
About 25k per crate
2 minutes later....
Those grenades aren't there
Yes they are
No there not
Yes they are, I just looked before you I told you they were there
Well I just looked...and there not there
Ok, I'll come look for myself
2 minutes later....
I just looked and those grenades are there
Well they weren't whenI looked
Did you look under factory crates?
Yes
Did you hit "Next Items"
Oh.....
2 minutes later.....
Well if I like these can you make some more
Are you mentaly retarded?
This all went down in Guild chat so everyone could see how much of an a$$hat this person is.

Like on the weaponsmith fourms... "10 Questions you do not ask Weaponsmiths"
Among some of them are... "Can you make armor" FOR GOD'S SAKE, IT SAYS WEAPONSMITH... weaponsmith obviously means, armorsmith...
But one of my most aggravating experiences was a few days ago...
Customer: "Can you make me an UBER super krayt/acklay/enhanced Weapon?" **Add in a lot of spelling errors, and that was basically the tell**
Me: "I could... i happen to have some stuff lying around, whatkinda weapon were you looking for?"
*2 minute pause*
Customer: "I will pay if you make me one!"
And then i start get frustrated...i cant make you a 'weapon', i can make you a specific weapon if you want! and about the money... OFCOURCE YOU HAVE TO PAY I WOULDNT GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE!!!
Customer: "What about an acklay CDEF rifle with 1 speed and 300-900 damage"
/addignore Customer
*Turn game off*
*Shoot self*
Why did i become a weaponsmith again... urrggg
haha

I had a similar thing happen except I was on the gaining end of it. I was surfing the Bazaar and went to deeds. I found a BER 10 Automated Flora farm with 15 days worth of maintenance and power for only 1k... No doubt a mistake. But... Unfortunately for the seller.. His loss, my gain..
**Edit** Meant to post the original quote but didn't. Might seem out of place but somewhere on the 7th or 8th page is the post that this relates to..

The one thing that someone IG has TOLD me to do,not asked me to do, that has ticked me off to no extent to this day is that he told me to add him to my house admins.Because he had to log and didnt want to wait a few days for my factories to finish some BE chef food runs and then pay for them.So I was to leave them on the floor of my expensively decorated home for him to pick up.So after he logged I did what any sane person would have done.Ban and /ignore.I just want to know If anyone else has ever had that happen to them.Because if I am the first who has been told by a complete stranger to add them to the house admins I will rip my own hair out.
