Im writing this basicly because im getting SO many tells/yells/and mails about high cost crafted items. By that I mean level 50 blues/purples/oranges. At this moment my main mats (Zal Alloy and Durasteel) sell on the GTN for 2500 and 2000 respectively. My least expensive orange uses 8 Zal and 6 Durasteel for a total of 32,000c. Dallorian Alloy (grade 6 researched compound) sells for around 50-75k a pop. Well i need 6 of those. (300,000c) So my CHEAPEST orange would cost me at LEAST 332k to make. Add a 10% profit to it and the total becomes 365,200. Now of course I don't buy all my mats just what I am missing when someone places an order unless they have mats on them. But seeing as the level 6 mats on my server are a min. of 50k a piece prices climb quickly. Now believe me, I earn considerably more then 10% on my sales. I also farm all my mats now. So now while the mat cost is cheaper it takes me multiple days to make an item. As any crafter will probably back me up in this I WILL get paid for all that time. So next time you have an issue with the prices someone's charging for an item. Look at your GTN and see what mats are selling for. Most crafters base thier prices off of what the mats cost even if they farmed em all. So yes while the people farming mats are making tons of money, they are also spending it on 1 or 2 items rather then totally equipping thier toon for the same amount. Note: I have every profession in game maxxed out at 400. It cost me a total of 350k to totally deck out my new Tankasin in Orange gear + augments + purple mods. Kinda makes you wonder why people are raising mat prices eh?

Having both a biochem and a cyber id suggest keeping Cyber. With the new augment system on oranges making armorings, mods, and 'nades will easily keep you in enough cash to stay at your level with the other parts. Orange gear is getting a whole lot cheaper atm also due to the high amount of augment kits available.

UHm 15 is nothing. I currently hold the shien record for failures with 111 before REing. (Blue to Purple/ Cybercraft/ Patch 1.0) I actually made an issue of FAIL! (Online magazine). Keeping in mind my horrible luck (and yes I still craft) I adv about 20-30 items per proc. Thats adverage. I have hit as high as 50 something on 1.2 and 1.3 purples, and have done 6 in a row first time. Some of these (especially the newer purples) are SUPPOSED to be hard to get. Just saying.

You get 100 a day from the missions which take about 30min to complete. Decent cash for em too. I just do em while waiting for PvP to pop. Just sayin'. *Originally put down the wrong number as I was looking at other data when writing this.

Personally I'd have to agree with the previous poster. Having a more detailed /who (or even building filters into the /who menu like checkboxes for most common searches like) Lvl1-10 [] 11-20 [] 21-30 [] 31-40 [] 41-49 [] Lvl50 [] Class [] location [] would benifit most (if not all) of your long term players. I'm not speaking of the people who HAVE played a long time but who WILL play for a long time. Most of your serious MMORPGers are used to/like/want/need (pick one) a decent search just to get thier daily routine going. I know I miss my WoW search options a lot and would love to see similar options in this game. (For those of you reading this who just went ballistic; no I'm not trying to say that WoW is inherantly better or anything like that. Most people are familiar with that game though so using it as a reference point usually cuts down on misunderstandings when describing something.) Now that I think of it you could also add a checkbox/menu option for those people who are LFG without adding all that much code into it. (say attach it to the code that displays those little purple people ) Anyways this went longer than I meant it to but basics are good idea, would love to see it, and just some ideas I had about it.
