This is an erroneous assumption on your part. It costs time and for some the amount they have to pay for raws from the broker.

Yes they could just go get it themselves, but I seriously dont see too many 70 crafter/10 adventurers doing too well in T7.

Personally Im not bothered by this, I make a whole lot more adventuring than I do crafting, but there are those who do not wish to adventure and according to SOE this was/should be a viable option. I have to agree that this is simply one more nail in the coffins of those who chose not to adventure. Maybe we should all be provisioners and woodworkers...food and totems sell well :smileywink:

I don't think you can list time as a cost, since it's your decision as a player to engage in crafting vs. adventuring. Not saying it's a bad decision, I'm just saying that's not "cost".

But you're right. I should have said "There is currently no coin cost associated with crafting unless you choose not to acquire your own raw materials from the field." However, if you haven't made any coin by the time you're, say, level 30. . . . maybe you shouldn't craft. :smileytongue:

Can I ask a question though. . . and this really has nothing to do with the LU . . . I'm not saying it shouldn't be an option . . . and I still think it IS a viable option . . . more challenging, to be sure. . . but . . . what would the purpose of having a level 10 adventurer / level 70 crafter and no adventuring toons be? I mean . . . what is there to spend your money on?

Some people just like to craft. We where promised that crafting would be a viable way to play the game when we started playing this game. This was true and was a great way to play the game and do well for yourself. We now have been reduced back to EQ1 style of tradeskilling where almost everything you can craft is worthless. As far as why a crafter would need money would be...1) buying raws including rares2) paying for that mansion to have all the broker slots available3) paying for furniture for your house4) paying for food and drink for crafting (mostly drink)5) buying fuel for crafting6) pay for new tradeskill books7) pay the high prices for new advanced books from adventurers SMILEY

going to get an occational drink from the bar....Just to name a few
