... I know not many people here know me. I play on Wanderhome, where I go by the name Akanah, and very rarely ever visit these forums, or any forums, much less make a post. Some of you may know me, most probably don't.
I was one of the first few Masters on Wanderhome, probably the 3rd or 4th one, don't know for sure. Anyway, when I first started taking tailoring, I enjoyed it. I liked making the clothes for people, spending the time with customers to make the exact thing they wanted, and making sure they were happy. Business was good, and things were going well.
But I don't know what happened really.. suddenly I saw new tailors popping up all over, selling good at rock bottom prices, and my customer pool dried up as well. I had a few regulars who kept coming, but most of my business was gone to those who sell at lower than cost prices. So I took a break from SWG, hoping that this would get sorted out, as well as some changes to the Profession to make it more enjoyable, more choices, more colors, etc.
But I found that it is still the same... still the same limited colors, same bad palettes, same problem with "get rich quick" tailors.. So I have decided to hang up my needle and thread, and try other professions. I really did enjoy tailoring, but IMO, it has become a very much overlooked skill by the dev team, and has become a lot less fun and enjoyable for me.
I know many of you still enjoy it, and I am glad you are. But it is not for me anymore.... so take care, and good luck.
