Crafter able to make a living at old servers

[edoa]

Im curious if there is a possibility for a crafter to make some nice money even if starting to craft this late on one of the old servers? Or should I aim to start my crafter on one of the new ones or wait until a totally new one arrives?

Guess it depends on what you are crafting. I'm playing on Wanderhome and have no trouble finding good pistols, but good rifles are another matter, only seen the 2 first rifles a crafter can make on the market. But better talk to a crafter about it. I've also noticed some crafters are really expensive almost double price than the closest competition but still they get costumers.

KK

Might skip my crafter until a new server comes then and go for a PvP profession instead,

I talked with a armorsmith on wanderhome earlier today, and she made big bucks on making deflector shields. I guess wanderhome isnt that settled yet, no big moneymaking/faction exploits like we read on the other servers. Economy seems healthy, despide an dupe bug a month ago, moneymaking bug this weekend.

But, your reasons to not start a crafter, was my reason to not start on eclipse a month after release.

Hm

Im just gettign the feeling its much easier starting a buisness if your first on the market, right?

Sorry to burst your bubble but them things were on all servers if you choose to ignore that fact then thats your choice.

And yea Edoa its like any MMORPG once you get past the basic bits no one really wants a starting weapon anymore, although there are still many ways to make good money crafting, you just need to look between the lines and fill a niche that is currently not flooded.

The faction exploit, where evereryone got loads of faction-points and swapped for experience (or got themselves 3 AT-ST's) were fixed before wanderhome came online, so we escaped that

On the moneymaking issue, yes it were there, but there was some screenshots from the Bloodfin server I believe, when people escaping Datomiir after the mission-terminals were shut down, couple of 100 players at once. Afaik this didnt happen at our server, noone have mentioned it at the forums tho.

There is problem, question is if people take advantage of them or not

Lol the first example is nothing compared to the low lvl rebel spawn camps that got abused a short time ago, not to mention the many other things that have been abused lately on _all_ servers.

As for the moneymaking issue a new one happens every week, so to say it didnt effect a server is very neive. just becouse you dont read it on the forums dosnt meen its not happening, just seems your server has lots of people who dont report exploiters...
