Thread: Diary of a mad Weaponsmith
I think my time as a master weaponsmith is coming to an end...here is my timeline to share w/ the other weaponsmiths out there
early 2003 - read about SWG..cool..I want to make guns
July 4 2003 - bought, registered, and logged on to Kettemoor server just in time to see the fireworks..I was hooked
July - heard that factories give 100% XP ....grinded to novice Weaponsmith...tried to use my factory..it barfed over..and over..and over..and over..and over...factories got nerfed...err ...corrected..sorry
August - still not a master Weaponsmith..only to 0-1-0-2 switched to Tempest..wanted a fresh start..I start asking lots of really stupid questions on the weaponsmith forums..I get flamed alot..( ie "how can I make a powerup w/ 32% max damage???" - I told to go to the artisan forum)
September - Master Weaponsmith Zaphod opens store..sells ..sells ...sells...I make money..friends..ect..times are great. I make resource charts..weapons records...diagrams..post inventory on the forums
October - I watch everyone else get holocrons...I complain a bit aboutbeing a crafter.. my path to becoming a jedi is on hold..Ill never get a holocron..
November - FWG5s are nerfed..scatters are nerfed...launchers are nerfed...*no biggy* ...and then my colors get nerfed...I almost quit.
Decemeber - I stop taking records..stop making diagrams..don't even notice swgcraft.com is down. I buy a holocron...what else am I going to do with my millions?...says Master Tailor
Christmas - weee! ..You've got mail!...and a total of 16 holocrons...prices drop on holos...prices go up on weapons(I dont notice)...Im to busy becoming a Tailor...
January - my vendors are empty...my factory is empty...and I don't care...I'm burnt out..time to do something else
today - dang it...lets following the lemmings ..I close the store..and follow the lights...and start again down the path of the fscs...
HA!..do I stand a chance ??...a 100% crafter going for Jedi?..yea.like I know how to PvP!..well its either this or going back to Jedi Academy...

That wasone of the best posts I've read in a very long time.
An autobiography of a weaponsmith.
I hope your message gets through to whomever it needs to get thru to, but I doubt it will. I just wanted to let you know, I am happy you posted it.Misery loves company. 
Worst thing is, they don't do hotfixes soon enough. I pulled a loot republic blaster recently, -70 @ 64m.. When will ours have those stats, how many will get made before the hotfix EVER goes to live servers to repair ranges. What must the rifleman be thinking, hell most of their guns with AP1 don't even have0 @ 64m?Look at the flamethrower, same thing. This is just a clerical error. Whatis taking them so long to correct it? Guns are being made, the economy is getting askewered.. HELLO!?!
Why do they give DE's colored droids, albiet buggy, when we can't color our cleaver blade'scrimson red? I am not poking at DE's, glad they got some love, there just isn't enough love coming out of this administration to keep me playing past March, I'm afraid.
Why can anyone form groups.. It should require novice SL. Instead they give SL a spam command. Yay, most people have sysmsg off. It's still in their tree, but they yanked the Politician master skills?
I'm straying from your topic and saboteuring your thread. For this I appologize.
You forgot the months they messed up, then messed upT21more. I'll prolly last til March in my current state. Then who knows, lotsa things can happen. But I agree, its gotten to the point where people do not even want to play together, they want to tumbletostanding for their medic alts, mind disease for their enterainer alts, camp fixed thug spawns for their combat alts, and... the list goes on and on. Who's fault is that? Not ours buddy. Not ours.
I recently saw Modarine Class 7 Solid Petro, appear on the bazaar on Sunrunner for 3c:1u. I had been squirrellingthat away since week one, for the sheer sake of having something old and kewl. AND legit! It has 2 9xxs and a 8xx. But man, you don't know what I felt seeing it on the bazaar for that rate.Did I buy it, nope, I sure didn't. The resources keep getting tweeked upwards in attributes, what a waste it was for me to go full time surveyor since release and waste bank spaces on resources. Waste, utter waste. I could have been getting holocrons, kill stealing, all the stuff peeps are doing now to open FS. Instead I tried to establish a business and repoire with my clients.
We got played bro. Hope you don't quit, but if you do, I'll be joining ya soon afterwards.
Don't bother protesting, unless your looking for sympathy from folks like me, cuz the folks in charge don't come here, EVER.
