I'm getting it too. Where are you located. I know where I am they have been having MANY issues with internet for the last month.

You see the clipping issues they have with outfits. You really want them to make a small race? Sorry, they have enough problems now. Adding something like this would make the game engine explode. Would probably be the end of the world. And we would all have to go live on another planet.

OK. Next test. You have any friends that live right near you that have a DIFFERENT connection then you? If so ask them to do the same and see if there are any issues with them. Chances are, you get routed that way due to location. If they are not getting routed that way with their service, then check to see about their prices and such. It could very well be your internets .... As some have said, the game is pretty buggy atm. I have NO issues ... ( time warner rip you off cable) But I have friends that have issues that are game related. So that is an option too. But from what you are saying, you are having a drop at a specific location. Try to narrow it down to see if that is the only way your state/county/location connects. Let us know.

As some have already said in the thread... Rule out all possibilities of it being HARDWARE first. Some funny things happen when you are wireless. If you are too close to a microwave, it can mess with it. Other people in your area on the same channel can mess with it. Walls in your house can mess with it. It is a very fickle thing. So as was said already, try to hook up with a wire first. ( don't know if you have) Let us know results from that.

Before making statements about a gathering skill, maybe someone should learn what that skill is. Just a thought.

The longest English word without a vowel is twyndyllyngs which means "twins".

You know what else is a true story? Facetious and abstemious contain all the vowels in their correct order.

Logic sometimes eludes people. You have to remember that. Many will miss what you are saying.

It screwed YOU up. Do not place me in there with you. As a crafter, since beta, it did not hurt me in anyway. If you were a true crafter, you would have been able to deal with this. And know how to still make money. The moment you try to bring all crafters into your little rant, is the moment you do not have a leg to stand on. I am not part of your rant. As a crafter, this did NOTHING to hinder myself at making money.

Playing ALL of the game is the best way. I know that sounds simple... but it is the truth. If you do everything in the game. Gather, craft, dailies, quest, you will be swimming in credits. This game is quite easy to make money in. You can even start out with just playing the market and make money. Learn the prices on things. You would be surprised on how much i make from people posting things on the GTN for LESS then what a vendor would pay for it. If you watch prices, you can see trends of things, and how much they go for. Weekdays, things are less expensive then weekends. ( That is a hint right there on how to make absurd amounts of money) People are lazy. Gathering makes tons of money as well. People don't like to do it. It is boring. I don't mind doing it. I make tons from that. Everyday you have dailies that you know will give you X amount of money. ( math for it is out there). Play the game, and have fun. You will be amazed at how much money you can make.

I'm upset. There is no video of someone crying, saying... " Leave Eric Alone"

ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH............. You had to put that on there didn't you. Now I have to listen to it. ( it's one of those songs for me that I have to listen to the whole thing because it is so good) I am supposed to be listen to Christmas songs.

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. As for my Christmas gift from all of you..... ( ya, that's right, I am asking for a gift from you all. Deal with it) I want you all to watch It's a wonderful life. One of the best movies for Christmas to make you all realize You matter to someone. Be well all. And may you find Joy and Happiness in this holiday season.

Because maybe they find playing Madness fun. /shrug

I'm having the same issue with treasure hunting. I will guess it is my bad luck. I have two chars that I have it on. But it seems like they just are not getting it. Yes before anyone asks I do it with max companions, and with the ones who have crit. RNG is a fickle beast.
