There may be some - but I'll betcha they are few and far between. What devs tend to forget is crafters are the folks that choose another playstyle because by and large they don't LIKE to fight.

I think the devs are obviously making a genuine effort to "do things" for tailors, but it seems to me like there is a really really basic misunderstanding about the sorts of things that tailors consider "fun". Ok, let me backtrack, I wouldn't suppose to speak for other tailors, I'll say what I as a tailor consider "fun".
I do consider adventuring fun. I do consider fighting fun. I do consider making clothing for others fun when I have an opportunity be excercise some creativity. What I loathe however is being used as a crafting machine. I hate having armorsmith and chefs coming to me saying "hey Art, I need 1000 synthetic cloths or trim, put these chemicals in your factory and I'll be back next Tue to pick them up". I don't like commandos or bounty hunters or whatever coming up to me and saying "hey Art, here's the schematic, here's the leathers, make me 3 packs", and I sure as hell wouldn't like somone saying "hey Art, come down to this dungeon so you can make me an armor segment".
Do they just not get it? Do they really have that poor an understanding of the basis of why people enjoy playing as an artisan?
If they want to reward me for going into a dungeon with a group why not give me something like an extra color on my palette, or the ability to create extra sockets (5?) in my clothing, or something along these lines. Being a slave to first armorsmiths, then chefs, then armorsmiths again, and now bounty hunters just simply isn't fun.

It's nice that they are including us and giving us options, but it's not what we want. I know. I'm continuing to push for what we want, though so far nobody behind the scenes has suggested that this is a great benefit for tailors. I think more than anything they wanted mand armor to be really difficult, so spread it out among as many crafts as possible, and I don't think it's meant to throw us a bone. If they dare suggest that this (and the wookiee segs) is our content that we get instead of our requested issues, it's time to bring the itching powder and handcuffs to fanfest

I do think it would be annoying to have someone ask me or even say in a manner i would consider to be ordering, to make them something or go with them somewhere. Thats not fun no matter who you are, your not a slave your an individual and should be treated as such. The Chef's & Smiths i make schematics for know that i'm not their personal machine and just ask for the schematic and then use their own factories. Personally i'm working on Pistoleer/Dirty Fighting to go along with Tailor right now and i think it'll be fun to have something else to do while i'm in a dungeion i'll do as a fighter anyways. Kinda like a "naaa naaa i can do this but you can't" kinda thing while i'm down there. But if its not your bag of tea it'd be nice if players woudl respect your choices about that but just ask any Doctor and you'll know that doesn't happen.

Excellent, excellent post Arthur! You expressed quite eloquently my feelings on the matter also. Creativity yes, errand boy no!

Hi I'm an MBH may I come with you? 
BTW, I've been ther yesterday on TC: thosenpcs are insane... I have takens some screenshots if you want to see them..
Bring some tough fighter,get an armor if you don't have one and don't forget to get a good buff.. At the entrance, even before you have the chance to unlock the first door (Boba gives you the code) there are 2 battle droids... they're not that tough but if they aggro a non-combat char has no chance to survive.
I wonder what the color of the armor will be.. if it will be random or not, I mean, because the mandalorians down there have a lot of different colors for their armors
P.S.->bring food (vasarian, syntsteak and maybe Vercupti), plus muon and neutron as a backup. I still don't know how aggro they are down in the dungeon but I guess that this won't be soloable.. The corvette is, but this looks like a very dangerous place.
P.P.S->no, really, if you have room for one moregunsend me a /tell
