Thread: Uhh...Can't I have it for free?
Don't sweat it. They're all on the verge of "quiting". Which I believe is something like full-contact quilting...

Ok here's a good one for you.
A girl (whom I won't mention the name of) stops me and asks me if I could make her a pair of hot pants to go with her top. I said sure what colour is it?
girl: blue
me: there are lot's of different shades of blue what does it look like?
girl: well it's bright blue
me: that doesn't really help much. I have about 15 different shades of blue to pick from.
girl: well it's kinda like the one you have one now.
me: ok i'll make it in that colour and you can see if it's the same (me assuming that she must not have the item she wanted this to match on her)
girl: no that's not it. can you try a little darker?
me: ya ok.
girl: that's not it either......can't you get it right?
me: well it would help if you I could see the top so I can match the colour.....whether you trade it to me for a min or just put it on so i can examine it while i craft the pants.
girl: well i do have it with me but i'm not putting it on and i am not trading it to you......you might not give it back.
(ya right i can make the stuff in a minute but i would steal it from her)
me: well i'm afraid i can't help you then, i don't have enough materials with me to make them in all the different blues.
girl: ............ (a few swears here and there)
me: could you trade me back the two i made that you don't want?
girl: why should i?
me: because they cost me money to make and you don't want them so i will sell them
girl: i'm not giving them back...........and i'm not paying you for them either since you couldnt' make what i asked in the colour i wanted.
me: fine....have it your way....just know now that you aren't welcome in my shop.
(this is when she decided to challenge me to a duel and was dropped in about 10 seconds.)
DON'T MESS WITH ME!!!!!!!!!! lol ![]()

wow... if it was me, all the tailors in kaadara would have her on ban list, and the whole server would hear about it. she would probably be treated rather harshly by my friends if they're online, and might get all her stats poisoned if Cryss was around.
ya, i'm rather nasty at times, some people just aren't bright enough to understand that they're not the center of the universe.
at least it's not as cruel as tar and feather, or chopping her arm off ![]()

I've found a handy rule of thumb: anybody who's interested in your "cloths" generally won't be a good customer.
Hehe. So true.
1. "Can you make me cloth?"
2. "Ah an armorsmith. You would like some synthetic cloth?"
3. -silence-
4. "Can you make me cloth?"
5. Pick one of /afk, burstrun, feign death, etc.

Oh, sort of reminds me of an incident a while ago.
I went back to Nashal, Dearic where I started playing, as I do once ina while to see what's happening there. I was just standing around the market area and this female human shows up and proceeds to run up to every NPC and ask them if they can make her some new clothes. This included the marksman trainer, entertainer trainer, the lot. She finally just stand there and I run up and say "Would you like me to make you some new clothes?" (I like to give free stuff to new people) She just stands there looking at me for a few minutes then runs off.

If someone asks for free clothes, don't give them to them!! As far as I am concerned, it is OK to give a nice discount to someone who obviously can't afford anything nice. It is even OK to give away a free cheap item with a purchase, but if tailors give in to all the players who want free clothes, they will go on expecting that tailors are just around to give away stuff.
Oh... and I hope that the jerk was eaten by a diseased nuna or something.
Something that happened to me a few days ago. I was in Coronet (I'm usually in Bestine) to get some stuff from bazaar and while I was at it I decided to just put some stufffor salethere.
Guy : hi, how much do you charge for black dusters?
Me : Well I can make 2 kinds, it's 2000 for spec ops duster and 2500 for gunman duster
Guy : Lol hey you're talking to a noob I am new to clothes
Me : Well I just put one of each forsale in bazaar if you want to have a look
Guy : yes but it's too expensive I only have 500 cr, could you make one for me at 500 cr? See I play a wookie on another server and I would like to have good clothes here
Me : sorry I am out of components now (which was actually true)
Guy : and you want me to believe you can't spare to sell a duster at 500 cr? I know how it is for you tailors, you can very well afford it
Then he is shouting in the bank area :WHERE ARE THE KIND PEOPLE (yeah in caps)
I am stupid so I tried to explain to him that he could get 2k in 30 minutes doing missions, and he told me again that it was rude, that I could afford selling one at 500 cr etc. I just gave up replying and took the shuttle back home. Sigh.
