Man ... can't believe all the chicken littles that run around.


Fact: The majority of players don't read these boards and don't know about what is going on with this.


Fact: The majority of players are concerned with quality of service and reliablity of their vendors.


Fact: The majority of players don't pay that much attention to a *few* points from one smith to the next, they are more concerned with not wasting time on an empty vendor.


I personally did not craft a single thing last night. Not one ... why? cause it was the right thing to do.


Will I lose a few customers? maybe ... maybe not ...


Do I care if I lose a few customers? Not really ... I enjoy crafting and whether I sell 50 weapons in a day or 100 weapons in a day doesn't make a big difference to my game play.


Ruin the economy? absolutely an idiotic statement ... this patch and reverse will not *affect* the economy much at all. There are X amount of weapons consumed every day ... this patch doesn't change that.


Whether I make 350k per day or 750k per day is not going to affect me ... and where the 400k goes likewise will not affect me.


You can speculate on all the *bad* things that *could* happen ... if the moon is in a particular phase and jupiter is in the 3rd house and if the ground hog has bad breath on saturday ...


But then reality sets in and the game goes on.


If your going to cancel, go ahead and decrease the surplus weaponsmith population ... bah humbug!!!!

I am not that worried - it is enough for a few better resources to spawn and all those pre-unnerf schematics will be useless.

I have some of the best resources on my server and even so, every week i find something better.







You will never achieve or come close to the results 12 points miths got on patch day no matter what resource you use.

You can debate the other points but no-way on that one, word of mouth is a powerful tool. I have often stood quietly in a corner watching spatial and heard people say xxxx has 2 more dmg and 0.1 less speed lets go there, the ticket cost and time is almost irrelevant, this is particularly evident on people buying multiples for slicing.


More importantly though, part of my pleasure is keeping my guns up there with the best on the server. Up until yesterday I managed that, for a brief period of time I was making the best vks on the server, only by 1dmg but that's not the point, for a brief period I was there. Today i'm Mr Average, and I will be for a good deal into the forseeable future, all the hours of harvesting and scouring the planet wiped out at a devs whim. Well i'm sorry but that is NOT adding to my enjoyment one little bit.

There are some shocking examples emerging. There is a DE on my server (and he is good and puts it in etc) but he made many hundreds of PERFECT combat probots. He, to his credit, had good material on hand, the extra exp. points and the time and effort to go craftin crazy for a day.

I have no problem with the individual...but I also have no insentive to make a combat probot now....I can only sell for less. The same flavour issue is emerging with guns.....I just dont know why they release a patch with a gaping hole in it for a day and the revert 23 hours later leaving thousands of oddball products out there on the market....sigh

... it's a PROBOT. That's like making perfect small harvesters or D18s - they're still crap no matter how high they've been experimented.



POKEY THE PENGUIN SIG REMOVED BY GARVA BECAUSE "Just because you are crafty enough to get around the technicality of it being a .jpg or .gif does not mean it is not an image, it is not ascii art, it is an image" SO HERE IS MY NEW SIG.

In your anger you're probably not looking around. Stop.


Last night during the madness I managed to equal the stats on 12-point blaster power handlers using 10 experimentation points and a combination of consumables. Read my other posts for more details - I have to sleep.
