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?

i still don't understand your rant...if you don't want to do it, just say no. its that easy.

you think you are the only player on the server who has to deal with requests for various help? can i get a sow? how bout a rez? you mind teleporting me? could you spare a ds? do you happen to have a minute to pick a lock for me? hey, can you answer a question about a quest? do you know where the guild hall is in fp? etc etc etc...

its part of the game...if you are busy just say no or even ignore them. its not worthy of a rant, noobcake.

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.

Actually, Hawk, what you fail to realize is :

The clerics and druids who actually have to waste time and mana and still barely ever bitch about helping folks out in a pinch (except the few anti-socials on the forums)

Are still leaps and bounds in character and humanity above someone screaming from the mountain tops about daring to ask someone )who's already finished their sunk costs to max skill) to waste 15 seconds of their life to click a combo button.

I've never charged to combo a necro spell while sitting in east commons.. I put half the server in banded and (later) fine steel armor at launch either at cost or out of pocket (the loaner program!).

And for some strange reason i've never had a shortage of friends, ports, resses for my alts, phat lewtz, jewelcraft combos, or even something to do when i log in.

But please, feel free to get back to your /randoming, your re-selling, your plat farming, and the lonely spot in the EC tunnel with your butt imprints on it -- to waste your EQ time away convinced the world is out to get you, that you aren't getting your fair share, and that the world of norrath does not appreciate your immense talents.

We wish you the best of luck.

Grats on your plethora of friends inside of EQ. Unfortunately, some people rely on the economy to get things done. Not everyone wants to get that socially involved. Neither are wrong, but you still can't justify expecting things for free.

JC takes a lot of initial money and a lot of time and mana to skill up...especially to the 250 mark. So yeah, JC'ers should be paid for their skill and time...
