Dear customers
Im very saddened to say that, recently, we have observed players diliberately misusing their friend's trust in order to gain valueable items.
A trade in game is a matter of trust between the two players, and the sole responsibility of those two players.
If you are trading items you cannot afford to lose, be sure you only trade with a person you know you can absolutely trust.
I did not post the above parts to pick apart the letter, but to make a point.
Everyday that I must hand another an Item for TRADESKILL use, Im risking it. And you as a company are telling me to do it with one hand and not to with the other.
EQ was like this, They said 'Make sure that what you are trading for is in the window before you hit accept' Kinda hard too when Ive spent 3Million on Implants and Im wanting them made, now isnt it? I spent several hours collecting them, so tho they might only be 3Million (some of you are laughing right now) they mean something IMPORTANT to me.
Why even warn us? Your going to continue to make things that we will continually need another to place in their inventory and expect them to hand back, and yet when they dont, youll blame us. Youll say you shouldnt have handed it to them, when in fact we did what you expected and designed it to be.
So, I placed this here in GAME MECHANICS, for a reason.
Its GAME MECHANICS that can and do created some of these problems. I didnt make the game.
I placed it here in GAME MECHANICS also, hoping that if by some chance of cosmic fate, Im actually right, this might actually be reevaluated and toned down. TRADESKILLS shouldnt be a MAJOR sink, but a MINOR past time. DUMPING points to be able to do trade skills for YOUR LEVEL is a SINKHOLE.
Granted I know this letter was prolley written do to several people complaining that 'A friend' was to pass items to their alt. You created that problem also. The Game is fun, but repeating not only the EXP process but the hunt for ncu, belt, weapon of choice, and so on is BORING. Ever think of an ACCOUNT BANK? MailSystem(I walk over and drop something in a specific MACHINE for mailing, Player Im mailing to gets a message to goto Box in world and retrieve his Item)?
Rant?!? Maybe
Complaint?!? Sometimes

GA is a prime example. Of not only a SINK HOLE on TradeSkills, but an Item that some MUST recieve help from others to complete. EveryClass isnt set up to be a TRADESKILL-MASTER.
