What I really used to hate, was sat bored shitless crafting in DC, while watching your customer's death spam as they ran about emain having fun.Tammuz wrote:if life were like that wed all be nekkid as no one would have gone into those businesses, it makes absolutly no sense.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I finally hung up my tool kit. Crafters get a hard life in general in DAoC...Maeloch wrote:....watching your customer's death spam as they ran about emain having fun.
Saturday morning 6am... what shall I do?...
Spend 2+ hours fixing a hole in a keep left from the previous night while the people who left the hole unrepaired in the first place run about having fun.
Craft for an unknown period of time for a customer who nags constantly about how long it takes, or complains about the estimated price (colour, design, smell etc) while they run about having fun.
Churn out 30+ end/pow/health pots for a couple of silver profit for a customer that expects you to deliver them to whichever tower/keep/hill he's currently camping and doesn't even have room to take them anyway.
