Thread: What is the worst question you've ever been asked?
Some asked me "Are you cheap?" after the obligatory "Are you a tailor?"
/sigh

After receiving the training from the Tailor dude in Moenia I was chuffed to pieces and promptly put up my new Title. Feeling extremely happy with myself I started shouting "Bria's Newest Master Tailor taking orders. PST", after a short while i got a tell saying "Congratulations, can you make me some Armour?".Byallbacca Master Tailor/Merchant on Bria
I know, I don't know where people get the idea that Tailor=Armoursmith. I wonder if smiths get orders for clothing...
I had one person ask me to come to tatooine and make them a new outfit. I was on dantooine and it was a long trip. They said that they would banktip me 250k credits for the time, effort and clothes in advance, and I got the warning beep from the email being sent. I also happened to have my inventory open and was looking at the balance... noting it was not changing. I get the email saying 2500000 credits have been transfered. Looking closely... I see the email says 2.5 million.
I recheck my balance, and though I can't be sure whether 250k was deposited or not... I am darn sure that 2.5 million was NOT. So I proceed to /report and /addignore him, after warning him that his actions have been reported to the csrs.
Most annoying tells:
- "hi" (followed by "Are you a tailor?" 3 minutes later) - They obviously searched for a master tailor...
- "cn u com en mak n e cloths 4 me" - Leet speech is fastest way to be ignored
- "I wanna look cool. anything is fine"
- "Just make something... I'll like it. k?" - Suuuure you will...Lime/orange jumpsuit coming right up
- "it has to b TRUE black"
- "it has to b TRUE white"
- "If you can't make black, I'll just find a tailor that knows what she's doing!"
- "I'm in a hurry, I need this quick, but cheap"
- "I need some pink hotpants, we have a raid going and I want to pwn them in pink"
- "can you make me one of each shirt, so I can see it?" - no, here's the website - "That would take too long"
- "look idiot guy, I've seen hooded robes! Don't tell me you can't craft them!" -I'm agal, not guy... and you saw an npc, not a player.
- "Oh, and I don't have any money..."
- "That's so expensive!! How can you charge 1000 credits for a hat? it isn't a helmet you know!!"
- "Just make a cloak in every colour, and I'll pick the one I like best" - Lord give me strength
- "Hey, I've got 5 of these crystaline clothing treatments. Auction starts at 250k, buyout at 2 million" - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
- After a bit of conversation that someone has heavy duty leather for sale, they ask me to come get it andto name a price. - 2k each - "Huh? Um, well another tailor friend of mine just offered me 5k each" - This isn't an auction, have a nice day....
- "Can you make me an Ubese Shirt?" - admittedly, this is a common mistake. It has no armouring and does look fabulous as a sleeveless shirt. One of my favourites actually.
- "Can you tell me all the BE tissues that you can put into clothes... and which clothes they can go in?"
- "r u busy?"- For whatever reason, this always frustrates me when I am busy. As though I feel they should somehow realize I am busy and wait patiently before sending tells.
- "Can you repair this?" - handing me his 650/1000 condition tipless gloves with no mods or sockets. I've got a baby bantha statue, and a single unit of green diamond that I will never part with for any reason, due to who gave them to me... but unless there is serious emotional attachment to those gloves, I'll just make them another pair for 750 credits. - Here you go,950/950 condition! 1000 creds foreach repair.
- "Do you make clothes?" - guy standing infront of me, Master Tailor tag always on, customers saying thank you for thier new outfits... Please everyone, it's "Can you make me some new clothes?"
- "I just made 3 synth cloths but I can't make this sunguard. The last one doesn't go in. What am I doing wrong?" - from master tailors/hologrinders, the bane of our existence. You are trying to be a tailor!
5k each for heavy duty leather? Does it fall from the sky on your server?
