Thread: The Only thing you're good for
hehe your obviously not talking about the buffer docs then lol or the buff pack crafters.
Selling buffs for 10k a set with ques thatare ten long (and thats only when im quing) = 100k revenues
costs. well a 20 charge pack takes 22-28 avian so say 250 creds worth of avian (good stuff) for the pack, per charge we are talkingaround 15 creds per charge cost in avian.
Mutiply that by 6 for all 6 stats. Add the cost of all the other resrouces. Lets just go wild, lets call it 1k added and lets say 1k worth of avian per set or buffs. Its nothing like this but hey who cares.
8k net earnings from applying one set of buffs is very substantial. 10 buffs = 80k!
Now i have friends that have gone through many packs in an evening. With each pack having around 15-20 charges thats 150k-200k per set of packs. Ive talked to docs who have spent literally hours say down going through pack after pack after pack of buffs. If you sell 10 packs worth you are talking 1.5mil - 2 mil worth of credits in revenue.
They CAN make millions IF they want sit sit around for ages. I stand in theed and see a doc buffing and just say to myself "that guy has just made 100k there, in the time its taken me to get from the back of the que to the front." not bad
I've never been asked to fill an order for organic resources. EVER.
My best customer is a PA vendor who buys my Herb meat for 30cpu.
That's okay though, I prefer hunting for fun. I helped a friend fill an order he got once. Never again. I like hunting, but geeze, I've got other stuff I want to do too, y'know?
Here's why what your saying is not true:
A droid engineer can make a 100 medical droid. Nobody else in the game can do this.
You say we are the best hunters. Only problem is probably 75% of the players in the game can and do hunt. You take *any* master ranger template, calculate how much hide they are able to hunt for in an hour, then compare that to someone with hunting 4 where they have put all those additional skills into more combat and medical skills and I guarantee you the master ranger is going to look foolish by comparison. Oh, and by the way the guy who isn't the master ranger is also going tobe great at PVP and have other neat abilities in his bag of tricks as well.

Whats wrong with Rangers getting spammed with /tells "Can you harvest me some meat?"
To summarize, I am ALWAYS in need of Rangers services but RARELY ever get any cooperation.
Sadly all you guys are good for ATM is supplying creature resources, if you don't want to do that, why are you a Ranger?

One if you need to placer an order, check out the new Contracts Forum on the SWG-Rangers site.
Two, I read some things about Rangers working together on nightly hunts. That would be really nice. It is a server to server thing. Valcyn's Rangers are scattered. There is no nucleus of them anywhere that I an find.
If I am out of the loop let me know, but I tire of the solo hunt.

You may get a better understanding if you asked why others choose not to be Rangers, like indeed yourself, why did you drop it may I ask?
I dont exist to serve anyone other than my own enjoyment in the game, I have a hard time keeping one or two Docs happy with resources let alone more, they consume the stuff at alarming rates, but, when I see the never ending queue for their buffing services at the Coronet Starport I can see why.
