the only thing i am grumpy over is loot prices on my server. the loot costs as much as you can get for the weapon... when the mark-up is ZERO, it just isn't worth it.

I'm just starting in WS and have my +10 grumpy SEA to put in my undershirt. Or should I leave it out?

not vital but put it in its always handy to get an extra exp or 2 on durability or range for the sh1tty range modded weapons

Oooooooooooooh sounds like a plan!
Oh I got the most random banktip today... 1000creds to "get my attention". Except he never asked me a thing after that... weird

It strikes me that if you're asking...you're probably well on your way to becoming one :-p

thats what my afk message says... well it says "send me an email if it important"
I dont mind the tells but they haven gotten to bad yet. The thing I hate is having a conversation with some guy in spacial(at my workshop) and then have two differnt people sending you tells about totally random things.
Its better than when nobody sent me tells and my vendors sat fully stocked for a week with only 1 or 2 people buying stuff. I guess its better

Some things make you go back in grumpiness I think. Like making a 129-323 Jawa preslice . Being given 4 sets of tissues to make jawas and getting the surplus and being given extra payment which I kinda refused 3 50 or more tissues is worth an hour of my time

Make a website, or forward them to mine. I rarely handle stupid questions anymore. Most people know I have a site and go to it when I hit my favorite hotkey with the link. If they are too lazy to open a web browser, you probably don't want to deal with them as a customer. This weeds out many.
Simple questions that I can answer in a single line I usually just reply to, others I just hit the hotkey and tell hem the info is there.

More than anything, what makes me a grumpy WS (and a few others that I know as well) is seeing people with 12 points that repeatedly exhibit only a novice knowledge of smithing, but are somehow proclaimed the almighty gods of smithing and praised by all...despite the fact that I can usually make better weapons without using any SEAs... This isn't targeted at anyone here of course, so don't go taking offense.
Oh, that and people that have no concept of weapon enhancements that see crazy dmg weapons made with crazy krayt tissue on the forum and ask you if you can make one...then zone out when you attempt to explain those weapons require krayt and tell you that you suck and they're going to Mr. X because he makes "teh ub0r" weapons.
Of course, every once in a while someone comes to you knowing exactly what they want and what it requires...I love dealing with those people...sometimes we can even have a conversation, and I get to talk to people without having to virtually draw things out in crayon for them to understand

I'm betting that you won't become grumpy as long as you have patience. As I was starting to write this I received an email of a guy asking for a personal order which included (One crate of power hammers, one crate of scythe blades and he was wondering if I could make him some Mind DoT weapons). I always have to remember that I was a complete tool when I first started this game. Best thing you can do is educate the poor youngsters.

I just have to look back to when I asked a WS (now retired) why he can't make berserker rifles. Oh well what a annoying little n00b i must've been. I kinda became a WS because of him
