Discussion here = verboten! This is for voting. Dangit, you know I can't add.
Take it to the Schematic information thread or start a new thread pleeeeease... for my sanity.

What scares me is the fact that I pride myself on my work, and ANYONE can, in 2 days, make the EXACT same quality clothes I can make. That scares me to death to know, that there is no 'best' tailor. I wouldn't mind putting in 10 times the work into my profession that I take TONS of pride in to make better clothing, even if it is just to make them last through more deaths than someone else's clothing.... Not like we'd need "armorsmith quality" hides.... All we'd need is decay resistance, and maybe OQ...but Decay Resistance would be the main one....
Anyone can make the same clothes that I can with very little effort, but I would hope that I would be better at coming up with an entire "look" that goes together and customizing it for things like the customer's build, skin tone and eyes than someone who doesn't have much experience. You make a good point, though. If the stats that are important to us are not the same as the ones that other professions need, then it makes it much easier for us. But unless you are just cranking out black dusters and things like that, I am sure you are a much better tailor than most people who have been grinding for 2 days.
My only real experience with experiementation is from making tissues for our tailoring business. I work very hard to get the best materials and I think I am producing very good tissues right now (+17, +18 and sometimes +19 for tissues to use in RFPs). The problem is that I do not have very good combat skills and I have to rely on the kindness of friends and guild mates to get some of the meats and hides that I need. Even so, they sometimes decide to sell to other people instead of helping me. I can't blame them. Some people in the richer classes offer them millions of credits for a nice stack of these resources. I can not afford to pay these prices to compete because 1) I don't really have the money to pay that without hardship and 2) I would never make a profit since no one would pay the prices for the final clothing that I produce to make this worthwhile. I want to make sure that at least for tailoring that the resource prices stay reasonable.
