Yeah, Krayt VK requests come and go. Mostly from newbie that don't know any better. Still funny as hell though.

I'm always getting "Are your VK's made with Krayt tissue?" or "How do you make VK's with such high stats?" I have one simple reply to both these questions..
I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you. Strange how people are quite happy with that answer 99% of the time.

LMFAO reminds me why i dropped it, but the best thing i have ever heard was after i dropped WS for atleast a month and a old customer sends a tell:
C: Hey i need another DXR6b
Respond: Sorry i dropped WS awhile ago
C: What wellI guess you better get it back
Respond: LOL yea ok what ever look on my vendor i might have some left
C: No go grind WS back you dont have any left
Respond: I dont think so
C: Dont make me hunt you down i need a rifle now
Respond: welcome to ignore

I haven't opened up a shop just yet because I am looking for a dependable Smuggler to slice my weapons. A fellow guild member that I can trust has finally mastered Smuggler.

Ummm...
HELL NO.
All he does is slice them, but I am going through months of grinding, harvestering tons of specialized resources to include paying to support all my harvesters then experimenting with components and doing all the runs. And he thinks he can get off telling me that he deserves a bigger margin than what I was going to give him. It will take him MAYBE 30 minutes to slice everything I have. Where as this has been a 6 month venture for me.
Aryth,
Here is how my guild's Smuggler and I do this. He buys the weapons from my vendor at MY price, then slices them and sells them on his vendor for HIS price. I get my money and none of the risk. He takes all of the risk.
Of course if he manages a 35% Damage slice on a Laser Rifle I grab it up for my own personal use before the general public ever sees them. 
It's very easy for the public to tell what the slice amount was because I put the base stats in the weapon name when I make them.

I have a nice arrangement with my slicer (I have known him since week 2 or 3 after launch). I get free slices (I provide clamps/wuk/knives), he gets free pick of good slices. I think since launch he's taken less than 50 weapons or so, and still has most of them.

I got this one the other day:
"Hi, can you make me a new gaffi stick, 250-280 dmg unsliced please?"
I just giggled and started foaming at the mouth

Now if you combine those two rules, you get:

Its finally happened to me...I left my safe little home to help a friend transport some things fromvendor to our city and while I was in theed I got a tell...
chringing I looked at the tell....
"can you repair my weapon?"
at this point I realize that I left my Master WS tag on..."DOH!" echoed through my room (room mate bangs on wall)
So I reply to the person "its all chance, sorry. please feel free to pick up a crate of weapon repair tools from my vendor"
I feel like I've been offically babtized in the world of WS

i feel extraordinarily lucky
i have had very few stupid questions
and once i have explained what u need most ppl do take notice
i have only banned one person and that was for telling me a cave wa his and to leave it!
so i told himm i'd have the last laugh
so i shop banned him as well as telling other ppl about him
so i think he'll have the problem for being a a-hole
This has been a great thread please let it continue!
