Crafting is a damn heavy money sink. I can't even add up the total costs Trion has gotten off me to acquire funds to keep that going. If I'm dropping cash on RMT to Trion, I'll do with it as I see fit. Just like I used it to buy a Galleon. With little to no donations to help craft gain, its just a constant money sink. Something I'm not going to continue to.


Go back and re-read my post. I completely, more than many I am certain, understand the costs associated with crafting. I did not ask you to give anything away free, however, I am not asking when I state emphatically that if you signed on for a primary crafting job and I have the mats for you to craft things for me (speaking in the third), then I expect that you will do so as soon as you can. Do not tell me what you will and wont do because your butt hurt over some words you misunderstood. I don't believe any primary crafter can state that I have not willingly and without expectation for recompense, donated to their cause.

Again, I am not stating give things away. I am stating that if your asked to do something, the mats are provided, then as the "primary" in an area, you should be ready to do it FIRST not secondary to your own game play. If you don't agree, that's fine, but it is going to continue to cause issue. Let me clear, I am NOT telling you how to play your game or spend your money. But if you ponied up to do a primary craft, then that is part of your responsibility to the guild. I have never asked anyone for donations or other to do farming for the guild, but I sure as hell could use it. Shatigon's Blessings would be great. But I have received nothing myself, except what I have put in as well. And I bet I have spent as much as you this time around. My point is that people are coming to me with the compaints I outlined above and they are concerns that need to be addressed. Tomorrow's meeting place is as good as any.


Oh I have nothing against what you said and I wasn't directing that at you other then agreeing that if they provide the mats crafters should assist in making the item.

The rest is just my own complaints with people demanding I put more time and money into Alchemy without realizing the costs associated with it. I only state that I believe if their going to gripe go and grind it out themselves. Also my opinion on what I will and will not do is just that my opinion, cause I'll be dammed if someone in game tells me what I need to do with my own money.

Edit:
Oh and we talked in TS3 it was just bad communication, nothing towards each other :)


Absolutely..not meant negative at all. To answer you, Jet, yes, Donk is the head of the hydra, but we are currently lacking in a little downflowing of info, and crafting has become a major area of concern as noted above by Helemoto. Just a point we need to look at and focus some effort on.
