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
Who's that, Epak? did he retire?

More or less taught me everything about WS, not really by saying do this etc but by example. Hell check out my shop and you might see a resemblance
Generic Style 1 with vendors in first room and crafting stuff (set up same way lol, station at the back, bags on the left and a storage vendor in front). Oh and look at how I name my normal weapons
Good thing is I can go NS hunting with him now

After 18 months of more or less full-time Weaponsmithing, I can say I'm fairly grumpy sometimes. Usually people on Tempest have learned that the best way to contact me is e-mail and that no, I still don't do custom work (and haven't for the past year). My auctions are my way to play around with loot enhancers, and my web site does wonders at answering questions -- well worth the time I invested in starting it up.
Educating your customer base is always the most daunting task. After that comes dealing with people who want "good" or "uber" but have no idea what that translates to in weapon stats (usually something sliced or looted that you can't match anyway). When I get a tell from such people, I, too, ask them to define "uber". That usually shuts them up for a few minutes.
