another story from me so soon? yep, silly people are everywhere.

as i said in my last post i finished the slicing tree a few days ago (and now need 180k pistols to master) so i dont do freebie anymore.
my bio has my rules, prices, the random speech, no barganing, etc.

so i happen to be in cnet at the bank and someone is asking for someone to do some slicing, so i tell him, im a slicer, i work for 100cr/%.
he says great!

so open trade window and he starts dropping containers in and i say 'oh, sorry containers are 2k'
he replys '1k'
i tell him to examine me, give him about 10 seconds to read and say 'those are the rules' wait about 10 more seconds and run off.

i head over to the cantina to get my mind buff before heading to the fort, and get a tell from him 'ok, 2k'. im guessing he did a quick search for other smugglers and found no one else.
(mental note, up price to 3k)
i go open his 4 containers and not 15 seconds after i trade back to him, a novice starts shouting 'opening containers for free'
good times.

fast-forward 3 hours, im back in cnet meeting some guildmates for training and socials, as i walk in an ent asks if i can slicer her containers, 'sure,' i say, '3k each.'
thinks for about 5 seconds and says 'ok, ive got 6'
(mental note, up price to 4k)
open her containers and 5 minutes later get a tell from someone to open 4 containers.
'sure, 4k each' i reply
'ok, np' is what i hear back almost immediatly.
(DAMIT! MENTAL NOTE: RAISE PRICE TO 20K)

I always tell them to just find a novice to do it because i hate to take away xp from them,we've all been there and know how much they need it. I know your not trying to do that though

This is partially why I charge ten grand per item, flat rate. If I get "but that's crazy" or "that's too much", I just go "Okay, but if you leave, thencome back, it'll be fifteen grand."

Guy: Hell no, you'll probably take the trigger out of it or something. Besides, what kind of smuggler doesn't have a workshop?

ROFLLMAO that's quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard right there.

But also the saddest. SOMEBODY SEND THAT QUOTE TO THE DEVS ASAP!!! Maybe then they'll realize we're viewed as slicewhores and not smugglers.

Mine was sacrificed to heathen gods for a damage slice, ages ago.

My workshop was stolen by some trolls yesterday... That's why i don't have one anymore....
