Customer: One Scatter Pistol, 1.8 Speed, 120-200 dmg please.


You: 50k credits.


Customer: Wait, this isnt sliced.


You: You want a slice? NO PISTOL FOR YOU. COME BACK, ONE CU.






Ok, well first off if you havent been reading any part of the post you will know that it is considered rude and obnoxious to demand a weapon within certain criteria. We are not walking inventories of every weapon we ever made. Second, in your example, you left out several lines that would bein that conversation. For the sake of realism I will attempt to fill in:


Customer: Hey dude

WS:Hello

Cu: I need an uber scatter. Can you make it with 1.8 speed and 120-200 damage? I also need you to slice it for me. Finding a smuggler is hard.

WS: Umm.....well I cant help with the slicing but with the pistol I might be able to do. Wont be cheap though.

Cu: C'mon, I know you WS can slice your own weapons. I'll give you 5k

WS: No I cant slice weapons and I dont think 5k will buy you a scatter like this.

Cu: WHAT?!?!? I know hundreds of WS who dream of giving me scatters. I bestow upon you the honor of actualy buying one from you and this is the way I am treated?!!!

WS:If so many WS want to give you weapons get one of them to make you one

/addignore, /shopban


This is the situation most WS face frequently. If we want to whine about it in OUR OWN FOURM we have every right to.If you dont like it goback to your own non-whiningfourm.

Also like to add that a 120 - 200 @ 1.8 speed pre slice scatter would more than likely be priced 200k or so since it atleast with the resources on my server would need +45 - 50 -0.5 -6 krayt tissue. The bottom line damanding a weapon with certain stats are not the way to go, ask the ws if he has something like that, if he doesnt ask him what you need to get for him or her to make one like that.

I think Cornflake was joking, by making a reference to the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. Or at least that's the way I interpreted it.

1. Do you make guns?

No, actually I have spent the last 3 months attempting to learn the intricate stitches of CROCHET, the big banner over my head that says "Master Weaponsmith" is so I can score with them loose Twi'lek bar sluts at the Cantina.... damn, you found me out - but can I interest you in a krayt turtleneck sweater?





Im a master weaponsmith and i refuse to make guns..if people ask me this question i say no, and i will explain to them that i prefered to specalize in melee ( because i was a melee at launch ) because i can concentrate on the resources easier. So i dont see how thats a dumb quest.

I for one do not discourage you for taking your work with a sense of stoic pride, but you are posting on the 23rd page.

It is, if anything, ironic.

hard to focus on resources?? melee weapons = goodSR and sometimes UT for: duralloy steel, ditanium steel,dolovite iron, kammris iron, copper, phrik aluminum, carbonite steel, polymer. That's all.



non-ferrous resources storage.

each column and sometimes every two columns, is a different named resource. Melee weapons hard to focus? My tush.

There's a reason why most new smiths only make melee. The resources are a joke to find. It took me a five minute trip right outside of theed, and one vendor to be able to make almost standard VKs. I'm still looking for the resources to make all guns, much less GOOD guns (coadan you suck, and yeah... everything the T21 requires sucks too)

Worst I've gotten in 2 weeks.


Customer: Can you me dude?


Me: What?


Customer: I'm in the Droideka Cave and need a weaponsmith to help clear it for me.


Me: I'm a crafting profession, not combat.


Customer: Right! Can't you make a l33t uber krayt sword so you can start swinging it around?


Me: /addignore (name)


P.S. I lost 3 whole brain cells when he said krayt sword.
