this has got to be the greatest thread ever!
i usually leave my MWS title up, i don't mind dealing with people, even the stupid ones (usually)
one thingthat annoys me the most though is the 'hey can u plz repair my wepon i will pay u blah blah blah'.i have to kindly reply to them that either A: i don't have a kit and/or B: you have basically the same chance of repair that i do.
one day i got a tell from a person who usually bothers the hell outta me over stupid stuff 'hey can weapons with 0 condition be repaired?
me 'i don't think so'
her 'do you wanna try anyway =)'
me /quit
some people think WS/AS's are there slaves, trying to take up my RL time to fulfill ridiculously stupid orders and such.
got an email today 'hey i spent over 300k at your shop today, can i have a discount?'
W.T.F makes me wanna give you a discount? i list my weapons for the price i want for them and the money stays in my pocket!
i feel i am becoming a bitter old WS. but enough ranting for now.... i'll be back with more!
and /salute Echal of Pure Pork Arms (Bria server) for creating this wonderful thread where we can come to vent

All old WS are bitter. "Old, bitter WS" is redundant. =)

I just had a banned/ignored customer have two krayt geno sonics and 1 scatter made through me. I charged him 800k each for the sonics (cause I cant do a run of green cubed in a factory) adn 50k to make the krayt. After all was said and done one of his "friends" asked if NAME was being ignored by me. I said yes, and told him it was because he had corpse camped one of my friends. Then he said "Well NAME said that XXXX XXXXXXX got a 30% dmg slice".
That just goes to show if you are a good WS people will go through alts just to have things made

Just saw this hehe, never checked it out before. My personal favorite Question is
"Are you a weaponsmith?"... that crack's me up... especially since I've been doing it since launch and most of the time I find out that someone who is my frequent customer sent the people to me.

I wish I could auto-ignore anybody who used the word "uber" near me. It is not necessarily the word I hate it isthe fact that when it is used by acustomer they are usually asking for some weapon that is unattainable not to mention craftable and all for 500 credits. If what I have isn't "uber-ish" enough for you then run along little one and ask the nearest novice artisan to makeyou that"uber" one shot kill legendary CDEF pistol with every stat dotted for -1 becauseyou know that everyone can make them. 
I usually run with my MWS tag up and getsuprisingly few strange requests "except for the random "uber-man" mentioned above. Most of my strange requests come from my buddies. They just can't believe that I can't make a 200+ max dam VKwith justmy "uber" resources or that I don't have T21's running out of my ears.

Try using that chat color option on words like "uber ackley krayt cheap" Your screen will just go mad when you get orders like that so you know you don't have to read it 
And a alt will change your world 
i just luv it i can play an entire buff session without getting a single pm
And i got a new favorite weapon"Uber Ackley Geo" doesn't that just sound perfect

I just had another one. It was so much stupid as it was funny.
Ok first of all I have basically no combat skills.
MWS
Merchant 3300
Artisan 4443
Smuggler 0404
So I made this Scythe (not the best I have seen but the best I have made) and this guys bought it. Now he is running around town wanting to duel everybody. Everybody in town was TKA's most TKM it seems and everybody he fought would dizzy/kd him and beat him to a pulp. Finally he comes back into my shop and asks me to duel.
Him: Duel me.
Me: Ok I will let you kill me (he just paid me 800k for a weapon, I could take a trip to the cloner for it).
HIm:No DB
Me: TY
HIm: TY for what?
Me: For no DB, I have basically no combat skills.
HIm: Oh, ok.
Duel consists of mostly head hit 2 from him and UA hit 1 from me, I amincapped in no time.
HIm: I LOVE THIS WEAPON
Me: *I get up after incap timer* Have a good day.
He thanks me and runs away the happiest customer I have yet to have and all because he got to incap someone.
I laughed for an hour, if there was a skip away emote he would have been skipping all the way to the shuttle.

Ha, good one.
I'm going to rant a bit about one that I got last night. I'm sitting in my tent, shoving crates of grenades on to my vendors when I get this tell...
Random.loser: "did you get my email"
Lucky for him, I logged off not long after because I had someplace to be... otherwise he would havegotten an earful. But it just irked me. When I logged on later I saw that his e-mail and tell were separated by all of about five minutes.
What is it with people and their entitlement issues? I realize that this is a problem that affects all crafters, but c'mon. You send me an e-mail and five minutes later you ask me if I got it, like I open my e-mail box every time I see the "You have new mail" message. WT.F? Get over yourself. Yeah, I probably got it, but I haven't READ it yet. That's the real question isn't it? What on earth makes you so special that I have to answer your e-mail right away? The entire point of sending in-game e-mail is so that the recipient can read it when they have time.
Grrr. Just annoying. Had to rant. Feel better now.
