- I don't consider outrageous markups to be an exploit. Just good business practice.
- The economy is SWG is a capitalist system. It relies on competition and underbidding to keep the price down.
I agree. It is a captialistic economy, but there are way too many greedy people out there and thats what I fear. I dont however see outrageous markups being good business practice. Why? You sell more at a lower cost. For example: those spec op dusters have been sold at 3k or even 6k. The tailor I go to sells them at 900 creds and still makes a decent profit. Not only that, she'll most likely get returning customers. Now that is good business practice.
The reason the archtiect, or even the artisan community is so worried is not only because of this competition, but if you noticed theyre starting to lower prices on some of the items. Some of us casual gamers and even some of the hard core gamers cant afford to spend hours upon hours of doing missions to pay for some of the higher end items. Architects and such are realizing quite a few of the players cant afford such high prices.
Thats my biggest fear with these hunting cabins. Some of the crafters just being too greedy and telling me "tough, go do more %$%@# missions"
Please don't think I'm trying to argue here. I'm just very annoyed by some of the artisans in the game. There are of course good ones and there are bad ones.
"I am all in favor of a Single Deed hunting lodge, as long as we can make it ourselves at Master Ranger!"
Ok.. thats much better. I like this idea very much.
Can we howeverhave HTFBs customizable? It use to be we could pick up chairs and stuff yet not drop it back down (not sure why this was taken away). I would like to see camps having the ability tolet us dropitems if only for a short time until we take it down. I know houses have a item limit. I think camps could possiby have the same thing. The higher you go, the more stuff you can drop. Not sure if this would cause any issues or not, but it would add a sort of realism to our camps.
Maybe it's just my imagination, haha, but if the ranger cannot fight while they have created a camp, them maybe they should add something to the camp, to allow for protection, such as turrets. 
I too am trying to reach that stage of Master Ranger, and I am slowly finding what strong points and a weak points, and this certainly is one of them
Can we also limit placing of the Hunting Cabin to someone with at least Frontiering 4 - or do we want it only to be placeable by Master Rangers as well?
I say Master Ranger as we already get the High Tech Field Base at Frontiering IV.
Also, I don't want to see alot of these around. They should be a rarity and a prize for attaining Master status.
