Here are a few screens I made. I removed the other blaster for the purpose. http://i39.tinypic.com/16bmwjb.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/144tc5.jpg

I will post here the screen once I am online again (which will be around 10PM CEST, most likely). Thanks for picking an interest in that!

Hi fellow server buddies! I am looking for anyone skilled enough to draw me a picture of female gunslinger standing next to a small heap of bodies of imp soldiers (with an imp officer or sithie included, perhaps) with her mainhand blaster still smoking, roguish smile on her lips and blowing a kiss to the imps with a motto DPS with Luv. I am willing to pay 30 mil. creds for a good picture. In colors of course :-) If it has the similar comics-like looks, even better. Drop me a message either here, on enjin or ingame to talk more about the commission. I am playing on The Red Eclipse Cya, Luv

I can confirm that, you guys are just too unlucky not to re it yet.

Our guild started the free crafting on Red Eclipse and we have seen a huge influx of orders for the stuff we do. This forced most of the server to go free crafting as well and pushed the prices down overall in a long term. There can be some debate whether it is good or not, but we are recognized as trustworthy crafters as a guild. The point I wanted to make - I cannot afford to break people's trust if they order something. With about 20-50 orders a day I rarely do direct trading or have many stuff ready made, it would drive me crazy to the point I could not play the game anymore for all the time needed for trading alone. For the OP - play it the way you feel more safe. Direct trade is the safest way to go. I can also vouch for finding a trusted crafter (reputation, server forums etc.) and sticking with him. Critswise I agree with the concept of giving crits to the guildies / close friends only. First I cannot really tell who got which crit in all the volume I craft so it would not be fair and second I consider it a payment for the time and effort invested into the job. EDIT: I craft the earpieces for free also for the reason of helping the guys who need them and for the marketing purpose as well. The volume is not that high so no big deal here.

I guess it is just for the roleplaying case. Empire is just more evil and it would break the feeling to craft without fee there :-)

I would say the most important thing is to be patient. Takes time to build up a reputation. Only a few mins to lose it tho.

Pay to win? No, thank you.

On 1 bil from g27 stuff, mostly Cybertech. There is not anything more profitable ingame.

My my, what shall I do?

Quite an exaggeration, isn't it?

It has always been so, no changes happened. I guess it is a problem between the screen and the keyboard.

Yes, 1.2m for the armoring is a sad price for crafting from your own mats. But understand the market moves and is based on supply and demand. If many people learn the schematics and not so many ppl buying the product, we have a situation like this. I also think you are exaggerating a bit on the level of our influence. Impside is not covered by us as much and there is a lot of other people then just SoI on the market. I do not really think we have 80% crafting on demand covered and that there is no place for others. I really would not go so far to call us the source of all crafting evil on the server. I can bet if we 2 agree on selling the armoring at higher price, 2 hrs later it is cut down to oblivion. I really think instead of blaming you should focus your attention on something positive - like building your customer base. I can also tell you that usually if it happens one armoring is so low, I use the crits for other orders and not selling them on GTN, which leaves me with more mats to use as I want (e.g. you can barely see me selling any Deft 27 mods). Exceptions happen tho, since it is really difficult to manage optimally. EDIT: I think the above covers also most of your last post. Just to add - I am working for my living as well mate, not really considering myself a hardcore gamer as I want to eat something better than grass, so have to have a job :-)

You sound like you do not want to work for your money. With the approach like "It is lost from the start, why keep trying" you are doomed to failure. If you sold 1 mod for 1.2m I would say it is very nice price for a mod. Mats alone are worth about 850-900k, so still a nice profit even with your own mats.
