I know the feeling. I agree. Master needs some lovin' pretty bad.

Yeah, needed to free up some skill points. First thing to go? Master Merchant and the whole hiring line.

Don't let the negative AFKophobes get you down. Play the game however you want.

Is the beta testing almost over for this game?

Ok, thanks for sharing.



Jedi will be rare and difficult - No
Increased Dev communication - No
CU will balance combat - No
Most of the bugs from launch fixed - No
saintchuck will continue to pay - No

- I supported the CURB, the Devs and the attempt to make SWG a better game and have realized it didn't work so I'm quitting in less than 2 days and won't be tricked into coming back again. Trick me once, shame on you...

I've got an idea, how about an advertising droid that we can release in town?

Too bad the protocol droid can't speak.


I know, bizarre. I was really excited to get to Master Merchant and put a protocol droid in my droid shop as a greeter. I was a bit dismayed when I found that he wouldn't bark ads. Now I'm back to my sexy Twi'lek.


Well, she's more fat than sexy, but a Bothan can dream can't he?

Understandable my character Outta is a pure businessman i love the 20% discount on maintenance on my harvesters since i run 15 to 20 at all times. but other than that there is absolutely no reason to be a master merchant. ad barking is kinda cool and putting my twilek hostesses is stripper gear is tight too. yeah but def. agree this profession needs a little attention.

lol.. I remember being in the same situation.. It was funny when I hit Master Tailor I had this big party, and was soooo excited.. When I hit Master Merchant I waited almost 2 weeks to actually train it, and never told a soul I got it.. Funny that they said they gave vehicles to Master Artisans because "There should be something really cool when you Master something".. Pink Protocol droids? hmm

Oh, and taking away our abilites and then making the nerf slightly less painful at Master does NOT count as something "really cool".. Just my opinion though..

I think its a real shame thats there is no good insentive to get master, for the 620 points its really not worth it unless you have nothing better to spend em on As a master in most other professions you at least get things for being master, but a pink droid imo isnt worth it, there should be more, another vendor perhaps, plus a few more sign options and extra discounts here and there.
