Betterment of Tradeskills
Lets try focussing on where I think we can agree.
Tradeskills need to be improved.
There needs to be a market for tradeskill products in the game economy to make it viable, over a wide range of levels.
Tradeskilling should be a viable alternative style of game play.
Add to this for the sake of argument that tradeskills should be only available to certain character types ( since every account gets 8 slots this should not be a real issue for anyone.)
I would add that the tradeskill player should be able to complete his projects solo.{Edited to add that the quality of tradeskills products should be better than what can be found in stores and the costs to make tradeskills products should be less than the cost of comparable items in the stores}
Beyond these parameters pehaps we disagree, but the key point is that tradeskills in this game need to be substantially improved.
Has there been any word from Funcom on their plans for tradeskills? Have they at least acknowledged the problem/
