After playing Neocron for a while, I have to admit they have done one thing very right, that Funcom has done very wrong.
The tradeskill made items (weapon, armor, etc), are alot better than what can be looted/bought/camped. Thus, it makes being a tradeskiller actually worth something in the game.
There was one good tradeskill item in this game, the Emergency Treatment Labs, and I really can't see them being much in demand anymore, since they blind you for 30sec or something.
