Has anyone else noticed a decline in the number of shipwrights on their server? I had several people just in the last week tell me they have been having trouble finding a good vendor for stuff.

My sales are increasing probably because the number of SW going down on Ahazi (or at least a reducation in stocked vendors).

I've noticed a sharp bump in business over the past week. I don't know if this is because SW's are going out of business, but I think we are also seeing a bump in server population. Tempest has gotten a loot of Noobs lately.

Is there a decline in numbers?
On bria, i beleive so. Or at least, a decline in GOOD shipwrights. Most of what i see is generic, not nothing really outstanding in craftsmanship and quality. About the only thing i did find was missle reloads. Most SW's i used to hit reguarly have simply stopped stocking their vendor, or folded up shop entirely.
Ironic how now, i am a master shipwright myself, out of neccessity. The decline in numbers, and medicore wares left me little choice if i wanted to fine tune my ships just how i like them. Now i find myself being the SW for my guild, most of what i create for them is just at base cost to create or free if made from scrap material.

I temporarerly stopped my SW business for FS grinding. This will be finished by the end of this week. But I honestly don't know, if I will come back to SW business. Sure, I still get tells by my earlier customers. And I'm sure I can be back in business very easy.
But the remaining 2 weeks before my last phase quest will be used for looting sessions. Namly crystal lootings. So I probably have to change my Sig in the near future.

My numbers are still very steady. All the suckers have cleared out and the good SWs are emerging.

Theres a 10 day trial for both galaxies and JTL going on. Thats why there have been an influx of newbies.

How amusing. At the link to download the 10 day trail is a screenshot of SWG with a Jedi in it. I can see all the new players thinking that they will be able to try and see what its like to play a Jedi in their 10 day trial period. Shameful SOE, really shameful to be misleading people like that.

I dont see it as a decline. I see it as the game is finally settling. As with anyexpansion or major publish, at firstthere will be a ton of players heading in that direction. After a while, not so many will.

I've noticed a slight increase in sales lately. I did real good at the launch of JTL, but then you got all the low-baller SW out there, I kept my prices at what I thought was reasonable, and saw sales slump a bit. Now I guess a lot of the low-ballers are dropping out, so people are comming back. Guess it is time to buckle down and start crafting again

Old news, actually. It started happening quite a while ago. Once the chassis market was saturated with undercutters a lot of people quit- perhaps they didn't know there's more to being a shipwright than making chassis.
