xTekx,

Just like those people that bug YOU because they're trying to set prices for everyone, you bug US for not being a team player and keeping the pricing level and appearance of Smuggler at a high level. IMO, anything less than 5k per item on BRIA is noob-ish and makes THAT Smuggler look like a cheapskate and all of us other Smugglers look like we're taking advantage. Guess what .... we ARE taking advantage. We offer a service that NO PLAYER would do without.

That certainly doesn't mean you have to go by what others say, but I just can't understand why you'd charge 100cr / % when you can get the SAME amount of business for 5k flat fee? That's like a FORD dealer selling brand new Explorers for 10k 'just because he feels he's ripping people off if he charged more'. When EVERY OTHER dealer is selling them for 30k. Why ???? Because they CAN and because they're in this business to make money ... why else do it? Because you're a nice guy? PLEASE.

100 cr / % was a GREAT starting point when Smugglers were 'feelin out the market'. It's ALL changed now and the going rate across ALL servers (if you do the math) ... is .... 5k or more.

Ok, well first off before you jump on me atleast get your facts straight. I dont' charge 100/%. I just charge a flat rate of 3k per slice.

As for you saying i'm not a team player that's BS. Just because i'm not jumping on the bandwagon to raise the prices of my services like everyone else seems to be doing does not make me any less of a team player. A team player helps out the guild they're in or thegroup they're in. That's a team player. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon because i'm not a bandwagon jumper. If I was then i'd be going CM/Riflemen or Doc/Fencer so I can be good in pvp. But i'm not. And telling me that I have to raise MY prices so that everyone else can benefit is complete horse snot. I will charge what I feel like. If I feel like being a cheap-scate or acting "noob-ish" then so be it. I know for a fact that not everyone is a millionare on this game. I'm barely a millionare myself. And that's only cause I did some missions the other day on Dantooine. But once I buy a new suit of armor then I won't be a millionare. I know how hard it can be as a newer player still trying to master a profession to get money. So I have my price for that purpose. If you want to charge 10k then go ahead. I'm not stopping you. I'm not telling you you're trying to rip that person off. I just dont' wnat someone telling me what I can and cannot do on this game that is meant to be fun. And besides. I'm not on 24/7. I work. I go to school. So i'm not on all the time. And the times I am on I don't just stand there and slice. I go do things. But if someone outside my guild wants a slice then I will charge them 3k. Plain and simple. If they want to tip me more then fine, they tip me more. But 3k is all I charge.
