NO, I WONT DO A COMBINE FOR YOU!

[Seaweedpimp]

I had a lower lvl shaman last night contact me, he needed two jasp earrings and 2 rings. he bought electrum instead of gold for the earrings, just to tip me 15p.

I made the gear and handed him his tip back, doubled. It was sad indeed.

And no, its not a big deal. but i figured i sould share as this happed 12 hours ago.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about little shit like str 3 earings or some 200p item. Every day, EVERY DAY at least 3 times I get people asking me to make them Black sapphire jewelery. Anyone who JCs knows you cant just go out and pick up another stack of black sapphires. Only a handfull of them drop on the entire server each day and when they are up for sale you have to compete with the other JCers just to buy them. So when someone asks me to make them a BS item it takes one more BS off the market driving up my buying costs and puts one more BS item ON the market which drives down my selling price. WHY THE FUCK WOULD I DO THIS? I BECAME A JC SO I WOULDNT HAVE TO FARM LGUK 10 HOURS A DAY.

If I bring the metal, plastic and fabric to toyota will they make me a car for 100 bucks? HELL NO. If I bring some eggs and bacon and flour to dennys will they make me breakfast for 50 cents. FUCK NO. So why the hell should I?

If you brought eggs, bacon, and flour to Denny's they wouldn't know what to do with it.

HEYOOOO!

1. If you go to Toyota with materials and ask them to make you car, it costs them money to do that. How much does it cost to click combine for someone's piece of jewelery? Nothing?
2. Are you seriously trying to compare what people and businesses in real life do to make money to survive and feed their families and shit to what you do in a video game played for entertainment?

looolololllol, win

[HawkMasterson1999]

soup, what you fail to realize is everything that lead up to me being able to hit that combine button and have it succeed. It took time to skill up. I invested that time so that I might get a return on it, saving me time in the future.

There's always going to be people that give stuff away and think they are great for doing so, and others that feel put upon when asked to do stuff for free because it took them x amount of time to be able to do it. Whatever you like. I won't criticize either. I do, however, think people that look down on either for doing what they want to do, are jerks: not the people doing what they want to do. If you want to give stuff away for free, then learn to make it, or farm it, and give it away. Otherwise, STFU. If you are selling stuff, then don't whine about others giving it away for free. That's their right, as much as it is yours to sell it.

This is a classic case of how much should you charge for a service. If I'm a doctor, lawyor, or IT consultant, and it takes me 5 minutes to answer your question, diagnose and treat your illness, or fix your IT problem- how much is that worth? I mean it only took my five minutes, but I went to college, medical school and residency(3-5 years) in order to be able to accurately do this. How much is that worth?
It's not all about clicking the button for 2 seconds. It's about how much time, money and effort it took to be able to perform the service.
