I just returned to the Tailor profession after a 6-month long hiatus caused by an annoying blue cube. 
Crafting a few items after making Master, I noticed that I was not getting 4 slots nearly as much as I did back in the day. I saw in the FAQ that this was a conscious choice made by the Devs.
I have a few questions:
1) Did they offer any raitionale for the reduction in slot chance?
2) Do I need to have Engineering IV to have any chance of 4 slots with Domestic Arts Clothing?
3) Has anyone had any luck jacking up the costs of 4 slot items, since you will be going through a lot of subcomps, and even (gasp!) BE tissues to get that 4 slot prototype or schem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

1) No
2) No
3) The only time I receive more for 4 socket items is when a customer requests them specifically and offers to pay more. I have started making schematics of 4 socket top sellers (black uniform boots for example)but I did not raise their price.

As a follow-up to question #2: does having Engineering IV increase your chance of getting 4 slots on DA items?
And thanks! It's good to be back...

yes, engineering contains bonuses to artisan assembly and therefore would govern sockets on the domestic arts items.

Booooo! They should make clothing exp a separate thing, and give you bonsues to it as you go up the DA tree... now I have to get Eng IV!
