Hello all,
I have a better way to solve the problem that a small percentage of people control
item production. The introcudtion of a new profession Corporate Lawyer.
A Master Corporate Lawyer would be able to levy anti-trust litagation against any
crafter that held a more than 50% market share on the server. The result of this
litigation would be that the persons vendors would be closed for a month and a heavy
fine would be levied.
What defense against this heinous attack is available you ask? Yup thats right
more Master Corporate Lawyers! Then major crafter can employ his own law staff
and fight the litigation in the Imperial Court.
This would be a surperb credit sink as the court fees rise!
Some will find this humorous others stupid. Butwithout a wide variety of products to
sell no merchant can compete with the "Microsofts" of SWG.

I did not play this game until 4/27.
I mastered Architect around 7/3.
I now do about 500k to1m in sales per week.
What do you mean, "cannot compete??"

Cool idea. We could also add in the profession of court staff and you could work your way up to the profession of actually being an imperial judge.....sorry rebels this is an imperial world right now. Then we could judge who could get fined and how much....how long their vendor is down and how much we can actually cripple their business by adding a levy on all future production.
Very cool.....put it in the next patch.

Dear Crimsonsplat,
There are monopolist that do what you list as income in a week
in a couple minutes. I personally spent 750k in a weaponsmiths
shop in 5 min.
So I think you might have missed the point of my post.
Without variety the "little guy" will always have a hard time finding
his niche. If a mil a week is your niche then great.
Without space to sell the niche items the little guy will still
be in trouble
The purpose of this "nerf" is to help the little guy and I just
dont see it working
