Thread: Respec'd Shipwrights -- PLEASE READ
It's funny, if I had known the respec was coming, I could have waited for it myself. But I'm glad I didn't. Not only did I beat it by like a month, in mastering SW... but also, grinding your way up has its own rewards. I had a stocked vendor by the time I was done, had time to learn about how it works and what I wanted to focus on, and it game me intermediate goals to work towards. Sure you save yourself from having to use 6mil resources and weeks or months of time (I mastered in about 6 weeks of harvesting and buying resources), but I think it would be a lot less satisfying in the end.
So no regrets here.
Personally, I'm not angry or annoyed at respec'd professions. Actually, I don't blame you if you did. I just think you may have missed out on some of the fun and learning curve. Heh

I have nothing against the fact that you're suddenly a Master Shipwright (well, actually I do have a lot against the fact, as I had to bust my arse harvesting resources for nearly 2 months to save up the resources to grind out Master Shipwright). However, you need to learn your profession. Read the stickies in this forum. You also need to learn how to become a merchant. Whether you have Merchant skills or not, please go read the stickies in the Merchant forum.
In addition, do NOT expect to become rich overnight. Do NOT expect to become a great shipwright overnight. Obtain the resources to start making chassis and items and start crafting. Through real experience, you will learn how to craft good ship stuff. Noone in this forum can speak a magic words that will suddenly make you a real master shipwright.
Finally, don't flood this forum with questions that can be answered by reading the stickies. Don't be lazy. If you're prone to laziness, you should respec your character again, because you'll never make it as a shipwright.
Ah Ha!!
So that's who swiped the BH's soapbox... nice move 
Hum.. I mastered SW in the first four days of JTL release. Dropped Remastered during double xp week, decided to take that toon combat. And took the combat toon to SW so do I qualify in you elitist rant? Wow someone got a little helping hand and you dump all over them instead of welcoming them into the fold. Bet you're a pre-cu JK too......

I just don't like the inexperienced "Master" Shipwrights flooding the market with poor quality componenets. I've check the vendor listings and the bad stuff is starting to crop up like weeds.
If you know what your doing it's fine and dandy because you went through the learning process. If you don't, it reflects poorly on you and the rest of the general shipwright community.

Drop the elitist attitude. Anyone who respec'd to shipwright had to have mastered some other elite profession. Who's to say your efforts are better than theirs? What if some respec'd from MBH to shipwright? Does that mean they getto have an even bigger attitude than you? After all,doing the Investigation line has to be at least as hard as working through shipwright, with or without grinding.
Personally I'm glad the Devs granted non-combat professions the ability to respec. Most non-combat profs were affected by the CU as much, if not more than, the combat professions. I just wished they'd done it last week, before I surrendered my remaining AS skills on my alt. Oh well, not the end of the world.
And for your assertion that respec shipwrights are asking dumb questions, well in my experience whenever someone is new to a profession, respec or no, they usually ask 'dumb' questions that could easily be answered by reading the stickied FAQs. It's hardly a condition unique to respecing.
For the record I did grind out shipwright. I've also ground out AS (twice), WS, Smuggler, Swordsman, 4/4/4/0 Doctor as well as 4/2/0/3 FS Crafting. If the changes to AS don't work out for me, I'll probably respec back to Shipwright if there's still time.

P.S.: You say you didn't grind Shipwright, but inthe quote above you clearly dosaythat you did grind it out.
