Here is another on:
"How many uses does your rocket launchers have?"
I really though about it for a minute before I scared him off with my answer.

That is funny, thought a valid question in these days of hologrinding. I had to talk to several chefs before I found one who was not a holo-grinder when this last big update occurred.
My guess is that he was asking you if your were in WSing for the long-haul or just a holo-grinder.

Excellent... I needed this thread...
Of course don't forget this typical encounter:
Customer: Hey
Me: (Why do they always start with "Hey"?)
I hate this.
I am damn near the point of putting anyone who sends me a tell with just "hey" on my ignore list. I don't have the time, the patience, or the inclination to cajole you into asking your question. Just ask it and get it over with. Faster for both of us.
God how I wish more people realized this.
Often people just use 'hey' as a replacement for 'ping' to find out if you'reavailable(vs. AFK or LD, etc.).
You might recommend to people that they try a different route.
Instead of
/tell jimmygunrunner hey (are you there?)
they should do
/addfriend jimmygunrunner
/removefriend jimmygunrunner

Top ten questions that will slowly eat a hole in your skull
Do you make good weapons? No my weapons are utter garbage i pray to my god to deliver your money into my hand. Really like I would tell you my weapons are complete garbage. Looking for a sale not poverty.
Do you make armor? I guess the name throws people for a loop since armors naturally spray acid electricity and beams of light.
Can you make a weapon better then the one I got? Is your weapon sliced by a master smuggler? You dont know what ever happened to that imperial crackdown. They said would fix this.
Why arent your weapons as good as so and so.? Well see he sold his soul to satan during a sellers market. I got in once inflation had taken hold. How the heck do I know what he used to make it?
I am starting a player town on lok in the middle of nowhere do you want to join? Wow what a great offer twenty dedicated customers and everyone else has no freaking idea where I am.
Can you tell me where this other weaponsmiths shop is at? I dont know can you tell me what happened to your decorum.
Do you make krayt weapons? Yes I do
If you make me one can i buy it in installments? I do not know its expensive to have bounty hunters go repo weapons from deadbeats. Did you actually think this was going to work.
Can you make me a rantok sword? Sorry there is no schematic for that you can get one from doing jabbas themepark. Fine if you do not want to make me one you should have just said so. Why do people want this I have seen the stats its junk.
hey hey hey hey hey are you there hey? Sorry i was crafting and did not see your words what can i help you with Then the guy just stands there for five minutes before just walking out.
Can you repair my weapon? I charge two thousand for weapons repair, If it breaks I do not charge you.
Okay. Trade cdef rifle pops up on my screen with one point left to it. Either he has used this rifle forever or he bought it like this. I usually switch it up with a dlt20 and tell the kid that the weapon has evolved into something better.
What can i say i ended it on a high note.

I'm slowly beginning to realize this. Is it too much to ask for SOE to make it easier for people to determine if I'm online?
Either way, most of the people who start off by /telling me 'hey' are random people I've never met, don't know from Adam, and want me to bend over backwards to do the most miniscule of jobs for them. This is not always the case, but it is usually.

Sounds fun guys i never realized the crazy questions you all get. I recently just started weaponsmith myself and from reading this thread it looks like a long interesting road. And so much more to learn then schematics. Resources spawning experimentation enhancements...figuring out what to price your weapons and etc etc.. sounds more like work then a game at times but i must say it is fun when you learn a new weapon to craft. I will hope to learn from your wisdom no MWS tag unsearchable AFK IM crafting home maker tag all sounds good...and if i do have questions on what to do when i ask the MWS i can find for help I wont start it of With "HEY"?

This thread is great.
Not a question I get asked, but if I get one more Kliknick Gland offered on my vendor I am going to freak out.
