<@Brannoc>: How will crafters place harvesters on planets now, since creatures kill low level characters so quickly?
<@Helios_SOE>: If you wish to gather resources in dangerous areas, you should either get a PSG or you could also hire some other players to protect you in the wilds.
Not good for the Master Crafter/Master Merchants out there, considering 500m outside Theed is now a "dangerous area" for a Level 1 toon.
Oh, and God help you if your factories aren't in a player city. Lol
lol
You think crafters will be making good money after all the changes you guys made on the crafting aspect of this game?
I think not.

I'm all set, I use my combat toon to survey/place harvies. Drop novice med, train novice artisan, do what needs to get done and switch back. Worse comes to worse Ill do it on my Jedi. lol

There are? Where?
Yeah I already dont look forward to having my Tank droid constantly for the Maulers who seem oddly attracted to my facilities. I have low margins on my weapons and prefer not to raise prices to much, but will if I need to hire bodyguards.

I went out last night to look for some new desh copper on tat. 500m outside of my player city, my WS alt, who has zero combat is contantly getting aggroed by everything and its dog. But you dont get hit much, esp if your on a speeder. But if its only going to take 1-2 hits for a non-combat toon to die, its just not going to be feasable.

Me.
I have a great guild/friends, but even so, they can't always drop everything to come and protect me while I work. And doing the protection is mind-numingly boring, so, what's the incentive for people to do it? Money will only get you so far.
I even have a bodyguard droid. Not that it helps against canyon corsairs and kimogilas. It sometimes buys me the time to run while they attack the droid.
Oh, and did I mention that I always have to wear composite whenever I work on my factories (on Lok). And, I'm always carrying a very good flame thrower. None of this helps: I've already been killed 3 times while loading resources. Sometimes I just can't even get to the factories on the edge of town.
I'll give the CU a fair chance, but with every passing day, it seems that the news gets worse for crafters. And, to be honest, we weaponsmiths have not gotten the shaft like some other professions.
I'm trying to be optimistic. Really. I am trying.

I dont know how many times I had to bring and alt in to clear an area so I could drop a harvester. anymore when I drop one Ill put my alts on the admin list so they can check and maintain it. its kinda sad to have to bring and alt in to clear out a lair of killer butterflies. or viciuos rabits

That harvester is being guarded by a creture so foul, so cruel that no man has yet faught it and lived! bones of 450 men lay thrown about its lair so If you do doubt your courage come no further because death awaits you with big nasty pointy teeth.
