Thread: Would It Be Awfully Mean....
Lately I've been pursuing other things and am happy that I can have the time to myself to go out and do whatever I want without any tailoring hassles. When I am out and about w/my AFK, I do get /tells from people that I don't know that want to ask questions or want me to stop what I'm doing to make them this or that. I honestly just don't feel like doing that part of tailoring these days. I want to keep my tailoring skills and make clothes for myself and for my friends, but I do not really want to cater to the custom orders anymore.
Has anyone else gotten to this point..and if so, how did you go about it?
You can add a message to the afk ingame message that says,,,I am no longer taking tailor orders nor am I restocking my vendor,,,then refer them to another tailor,,,
Emails are easy,,just a quick no thanks,,I am in retirement and refer to another tailor,,
It is definately not mean to want time for yourself. You deserve to do whatever you want to make your game time enjoyable.
i still occasionally log onto my tailor to make custom orders and fill up vendors, but it's a lot more fun when you don't have people msging you every 10 seconds because their black duster isn't dark enough 
That's really interesting, because it's the exact opposite for me. I'm semi-retired myself now. I closed my shop near Coronet and moved to Dantooine out in the middle of freakin nowhere. I was burned out, but not from custom orders, or helping people, I was burned out from having to restock the stupid vendor every single day. Every day I'd login and my mailbox would be filled with endless message spam from my vendor to restock and relist dozens and dozens of items, and every time I didn't spend half the night making clothes to restock the vendor, or mindlessly relisting items that had timed out, I felt like I was just digging myself a bigger and bigger hole that I'd never climb out of. It got so that I was restocking things that had sold like 4 weeks ago, lol, but even then I had great sales and pretty good stock by today's standards. But for whatever reason /tells for me have never really been an enormous issue, and that's always been the part of tailoring I've liked the best.
Now I get pretty much only custom orders, which I enjoy filling, and a few measly vendor sales here and there of the few bio clothing items I happen to feel like stocking, but it's been good. Last week I spent about an hour with one person working on her woredrobe. She ended up with around 3 complete outfits that she really liked, I had fun doing it, but of course my tailor bill barely even covered my plane ticket over there, lol. Oh well, not like I need the credits.
Most people just want a name or two of another master tailor.
So you can say in your AFK messagethat so and so are now taking your orders for you.
Of course you may want to check with so and so first.
I've always been lucky, I've avoided the 'tell-hell' that other tailors talk about. I put my shop in the middle of nowhere outside a lesser-travelled town and rarely go into the heavily populated towns, so my name has only gotten out to a fairly small circle. I always have time to do what I want and rarely get tells, but when I do I usually tell them I'll get their order the next time I'm at my shop and they're cool with it. I am very glad that I never went all-out on advertising just because I don't feel tied down to my shop like a lot of tailors who post here. Actually I've probably made as much money from powerups as tailoring, if not more.
The down side is, I'm probably the brokest master tailor in the game. I have never had more than 500K at one time. So, it's a trade off. If you dont' want to be busy, you probably won't be rich.
Not true. I've gotten quite a fat bank from bazaar sales and a custom order every day or so.
