Guildie and friend are two different things? Hmm. Interesting concept. Every last one of my guildies are friends and get whatever they want for free.Anything. Weapon, money, loot.. doesn't matter, all free. And vice versa.

Well, to your questions:

1) Free, no matter what it is.

This is very nice, but some players are in very large guilds and this wouldn't be feasible, ever have 250 people ask you for crates of free C12 everyday so they can grind FS

2) Free,no matter what it is. But, I'd try to use my own components and schematics so they could sell theirs.

Why would you do this!?! If people in my guild were selling weapon loot after getting free loot enhanced weapons from me, I'd go insane.

3)Standard weapon? Probly for about 75% of what it costs on my vendors.High end weapon... probly about the same as on my vendors.

LOL.... Better hope your server doesn't findout about this or noone will buy from your vendor, just send you a tell because it's cheaper..

4) Same as for #3, except it's probly going to be "high end", due to them bringing me a schematic and such.

What I used to do was tell people when they joined that they should buy from my vendor then if they wanted a discount to send me an email and I'd tip them back 50% of the price.

2. a guildie brings you schematics and components and asks you to make a certain product of it.

Regular price of weapon

3. a stranger asks you to make some standardweapons for him/her.

If they aren't on my vendor already, regular price, if they are on the vendor I'd probably tell them it was on vendor and if they still couldn't find it 5 times my regular price

4. a stranger brings you schematic and components and asks you to make a certain product of it. Still working on this one myself.... double the price of regular is what I'm thinking so far.

By guildie i dont mean friend, we all have "special price for you my friend" politics, by guildie i mean kind of stranger bearing same tag as you.

Thanks. :-)

Replies to Ybagi

First of all, thanks for the 1 star, when I was just answering honestly a few questions asked.... Very intelligent. I won't 1 star you, though.... In fact, I'll give you 5 for the laugh you gave me this fine morning.

1) If you're in a guild of 250, don't do what I do,I don't care. I wasn't telling everyone what to do, just answering a question, ya' genious.

2) Why do I do it? Because they're my guild mates. I'm not a selfish 12 year old. I play to have fun, and help those around me have fun. It all balances out, as they make me armor for free, hook me up with loot or money for free. It's just how it works.

3) It would be great if a lot of people sent me tells. I'd have a blast crafting up all those weapons, and making some friends... and *gasp* having fun playing the game.

4) Dang, you didn't have some extremely intelligent babble for #4?

I'm sorry you feel that way but I felt your response wasn't very helpful to the original poster, they explicitly stated that they were in a large guild and you proceeded to:

A) Insult that guild ideology, in your first paragraph.

B) Provide answers that probably won't help, especially given the fact that they indicated they were in a large guild.

Hey Ybagi,

What I just quoted is the original post. Please highlight where he/she says anything about being in a large guild. Please show me where he "explicity" says he's in a large guild and how I "insulted that ideology".

He asked questions, I answered. Simple. OK, yes, I added a little at the beginning, but every guild I've ever been in, in online games period, everyone is friends and every helps everyone else no matter what. That's the point of a guild.

Oh, by the way, I'm in a gaming guild of almost 400 people, and every last one of them would get the shirt off my back, even ifevery member played SWG.

Wilewea, I apologize for the thread hijacking. I tried to answer you questions. I should know better than that by now, I guess.

I do the same except the guildies don't have to ask for the discount, I just tip it back.

For loot stuff I just charge 50% of what I would charge for the resources....I mean they went through the trouble to get the loot, all I'm doing is spending some resources and time.

Also my prices are not absurd so everyone already gets good prices. For example I don't charge 100'sK for a 223 VK or millions for DXR6-b, etc.

3. a stranger asks you to make some standard weapons for him/her. Charge them a price that is the same as you would have on you vendor. Refer them to your vendor if you have one, odds are they'll buy more than what they're asking anyway

4. a stranger brings you schematic and components and asks you to make a certain product of it. If youre on bloodfin and 12 point it'd be 50-125k depending on how much resources you need to use

1. a guildie asks for some standard weapons. I'd make those for free but my guild is fairly small. I guess it comes down to a question of what your guildmembers do for you. Do they bring you loot components and schematics? If so do they give them to you or offer them for sale? If they sell them to you do they offer discounted prices? Even if they don't really help you out, I'd still consider a reasonable discount since a guild that size would make a nice customer base.Take advantage of the size of your guild. If it's so big that you don't know everyone, draft a letter of introduction and have your guildleader forward it in a Guild group mailing. I'm guessing that if you put the call out for loot or whatever else you needed and offered something in return, you'd probably get a pretty good response.

2. a guildie brings you schematics and components and asks you to make a certain product of it. See above. As long as its for personal use I do it for free. If they are having your craft items for them to sell, then more of a partnership arrangement would be in order.

3. a stranger asks you to make some standardweapons for him/her. I sell sliced weapons primarily, so I'd point them to my vendor if I had that weapon in stock. Otherwise I'd charge standard price but I'm very unlikely to ever craft on the spot.

4. a stranger brings you schematic and components and asks you to make a certain product of it. I charge 100k per craft, so if I have to craft just the weapon it's 100k, if I have to craft the weapon and component, it's 200k.
