I've been pondering and from what I gathered the architect is a non-popular profession because the item simply does not decay or lose value.
For example, someone purchase a house and would continue to use the house for a year. He got no additional need to purchase another house. Versus someone who purchase a weapon, use the weapon, but continue to purchase more weapons.
Would it be safe and good suggestion to say, if someone purchase the house, pay maintenace into that house, the crafter of that house would automatically earn 2% - 5% of the maintenance of that house. The condition being that person must still remain as architect for the money to be earned? So if that person is a Novice Architect he/she will earn 2% up to he/she being a master architect he/she will earn 5%. This applies to all houses and living structure they manufacter and sold?
In addition, for each harvester / factories they use and pump in maintenance, the crafter of that earn from 1% - 3% (restriction similar to above)
The moment that crafter is no longer an architect, he will forefit the funds to the declare city treasury he/she is in. If he/she is of no part of a city, then he/she forefit the funds and the owner / person using the structure will no longer be charge any penalty?
Just a curious wild thought. Let me know your comments.

Why are you posting this in the polititon forum??
My roomate is an architecht, and he's constantly selling things, I doubt he sees a problem with the way the system currently is.

I am an old school architect. I still sell some of every item I can craft. I agree with all the moaning about non-decay of housing and such. But....other than continuously telling the dev's about our wishes, there is little that I can do. So I continue to enjoy the profession of Architect within the bounds of the profession as it is today. Architect/Politician is still a good combination and I dont intend to drop it anytime soon.
I dont need to make changes to the profession just to make more money. I make a bunch of cash with the current set-up.What I need are more variety in the house styles, house decay, furniture colorization, house experimentation, and the ability to craft structures that can be used in the GCW. None of these are needed to make me more money, they would just imporve my enjoyment of the profession and help me to make Aurora a better place for the commuinty of citizens living in Aurora.
Cheers!
