Because SOE, as usual, broke something and didnt bother to fix it

... why we can't put their clothing/armor attachments into the clothing they want so it will become the BE'd clothing.

Because it doesnt work that way, direct them to the forums for an explanation of how it DOES work

... why we can't get 4 sockets on demand.

Because tailoring is an art, and you have to work to create a master piece

... why the specific piece of clothing they want that uses synthetic cloth wont' magically become combat BE'd clothing.

Again, Because it doesnt work that way, direct them to the forums for an explanation of how it DOES work

... why we can't make them the 'specific' Jedi robes ... so they can lookEXACTLY like a padawan. (been asked this the last week at least4 times ... was even told 2x it's ok if you don't include the Force use with it because I dont think I can use it at this point.)

Because they arent a jedi, quit pretending they are and start grinding FS so they can look exactly like a padawan, futhrmore you can inform them that the jedi council wont release the crafting schematics and that they should seek out a master jedi tailor like yoda to get "those" robes, dont forget to inform them that he lives on dathomir in the center of the NS POI -nods-

Any concise explanations you may use that people actually 'get' and 'understand' would be appreciated so I can try it. I try to explain things thoroughly, spend 20-30 minutes explaining it, thensuddenly I'm back to square one & they're asking for things they can't have (atm) again. I'm starting to feel like I've been banging my head onmy deskway too long lol

... or shouldIjust expect to continue banging my headand maybe invest in a desktop pillow?

That's not a bad idea...

Regarding why we can't make BE clothes atm or an ETA thats same frustration I am getting atm finally you know what I told them to do... go to the tailor boards or the in live SOE boards and post complaints and yell a little to be heard so that developers will know how important your local tailor merchant is to you. That always quiets them down cause for some if had to come to forums to post thats just too much work you know

In terms of clothing and armor attachments when this subject comes up I first say to them "anyone is able to drop their own sea's in the clothing it is not a requirement to be a tailor to do so", however I warn them that if the clothing item they are dropping the sea in has the same mod stat on it that it does NOT stack and will always justtake the highest of the two mods placed in same clothing item etc. Nine times out of ten if I forget to mention this someone goes and drops a SEA on a piece of BE clothing then asks me how come it didn't stack... then gets all upset like its my fault I didn't go into detail on another part of the game mechanics

I found that Tailor for as simple of a profession as it is became a nightmare when it came to explaining stuff over and over for the longest time in beginning of this game and now I make it as plain and simple for customer as it can get and if they do NOT like the answer then I refer them along to have it verified.. there is only so much I can do in the game with the given mechanics and the rest is up to developers to fix and answer

Save yourself a major headache and type up an email list of all clothes you CAN place the BE tissues in and tell them those are the ONLY clothing pieces that accomodate the tissues unless they are wookie and ithorian race.

-----------------

As she said ... I have emails of a few FAQs that my charcters carry .. my Dancer carries a ton as new dancers always have a ton of questions.

Pricing is the only thing I had to split up onto diff emails (one for each category).

I find writing up an email explaining the things you have to explain over and over extremly helpful. BE mods can not be applied to clothing at this time (is a good way to start the email) also include info on the fact that they can apply their own CAs and AAs ... I have people willing to pay me to "craft" these into their clothes *sighs*

... why we can't make BE clothing atm. BE mods can not be applied to clothing at this time. (current BE items are fine ...new items can not be crafted)Tailors are currently waiting on a fix. Refer to patch notes to see when BE mods will again be applied to clothing.

... why we can't put their clothing/armor attachments into the clothing they want so it will become the BE'd clothing. I have no clue what this question means lol

... why we can't get 4 sockets on demand. 4 socket clothing is random ... it can take 2 tries or 20 tries to get a 4 socket item. On a side note I tell people they can have 4 socket item if they will pay for each item it takes to get the 4 socket (min of 5K maximum of 50K)I sell the items that dont turn into 4 sockets with that understanding. I also only do that for very good customers as its time consuming lol.

... why the specific piece of clothing they want that uses synthetic cloth wont' magically become combat BE'd clothing. BE tissues are made by a Bio Eng and then applied to clothing by a Tailor. The application process is broken atm.

... why we can't make them the 'specific' Jedi robes ... so they can lookEXACTLY like a padawan. (been asked this the last week at least4 times ... was even told 2x it's ok if you don't include the Force use with it because I dont think I can use it at this point.) *hugs* I sense some fustration on this one ... the other one I hate is people who ask for matching colors for items from two seperate palattes. Every article of clothing has its own set of colors it can be crafted in. Matching colors or even getting a specific color is sometimes impossible for certain items of clothing. I normally then refer them to a website which shows pallates.

and just remeber ... customers are still customers

Gah I am bored today ...

With high OQ subcomponents, high OQ main resources, and +25 assembly, I get 4 sockets 99% of the time.
