CChabot get s the official #7...with his submission, how could I have forgotten that one?
7) The worst i've heard:"Can i buy 200k of your steels for grinding"
Sure, you want the 999OQ stuff or should I go to the backroom and get you the really good stuff?

i personally hate it when some one says "can you craft me the best gun you are able to make" my response is "well what are your skills, you can have the best gun in the world but if your not certified....." give me specifics!!

"Do you make good [insert gun here]?" I don't even bother replying to these questions anymore. The vendor is stocked, I am more than happy to answer questions or discuss custom builds but the extremely vague "do you make good" and "What's your best" get ignored.

My favorites so far are:
Him: Can you make me uber l337 genosian pistol?
Me: Sorry I don't have that schematic yet?
Him: When you do you make for me!
and the other is
Him: Can you repair my weapon?
Me: Sorry no repair kit on me at the moment
Him: $%&* You!!!!
Only been a MWS for a week, but I am definitely considering displaying the MWS title alot less now.
I think I was asked all the questions in the original post in my first 4 hours of MWS.

Best. Thread. Ever. Allow me to contribute.
Is that the best you can make?
No, actually, I'm holding out on you... I keep the really GOOD resources stashed in a secret place so the devs don't find them and prevent me from making you the bestest gun evar! You have found me out, aren't you so clever! If you hadn't asked, I would have NEVER sold you a good weapon, because all the stuff on my vendor is crap.
What's the best gun you can make?
I always respond: "Define 'best'." At that point, I go for a walk, figuring that by the time I come back, they might have an answer. But I doubt it.
Everyone always DEMANDS "my best". Why doesn't it occur to people that a weaponsmith who lists stuff that isn't "his best" on his vendor doesn't stay in business very long? Do they honestly think that we're holding out on them or something? Argle.
When people ask me if I make weapons (while displaying my MWS title) I respond: "No, this is something I do in my spare time when I'm not running for Emperor. Would you like to hear my campaign speech?"

Ha. All of the above, I get at least once a day.
Most annoying? Not listed but it's the :
[random potential customer] tells you: "Hey."
[random potential customer] tells you: "Hey."
[random potential customer] tells you: "HEY!!"
[2 min pause]
[random potential customer] tells you: "U there or not??!?"
etc.
Why oh why can't people just ask the d4mn question already, instead of looking for a one-on-one conversation that will most likely end in one of the above questions being asked? I purposely don't answer tells like this these days, and it's prolly about time I made some macro reponses for the other stupid question we all seem to get...

Trust me, that happens to everyone. I'd get "Hey" messages from people that wanted BH training, Buffs, and whatever else I've had going on at the time.

When people come to me with this question, I tell them to check out the forums for their profession and when they know what they want to get back to me. Since I don't stock a vendor (custom orders only), that is much easier for me.

I haven't been a MWS for only a week and already I've seen these. The other night it went something like this:
Cust: Can you make me a flamethrower?
Me: Sorry, I'm a brand new WS still looking for good resources.
Cust: What about any heavy weapon, acid launcher?
Me: Sorry, I don't have the resources for that
Cust: Any heavy weapons? I need heavy weapons
Me: I've been grinding WS for about a month now and haven't been able to hunt down good resources
Cust: What about protone nades?
Me: I can't make those weapons
Cust: What do you mean? Your title says Master Weaponsmith?
Me: Sorry...
Fun stuff, I learned real quick not to put on my MWS tag until I've got the resources.
