I was likely in either -DFA- , MoD or perphaps PoweR at that gime I think , Hel had a city right next to Power before power left.

Aye, north of Keren we had a city called Abriymoch.

Wow, those are super old. I remember that bike one. I made all the boys wear black armour with a blood red helmet, When we had a guild split we switched to rebel and white to attack the splitters. CoN Erythnul/Xylas Kel is here in HEL

No-longer Rebel, teamed up with some CON folks and renewed as Imperial. PvP/PvE, English speaking, international guild.

Accepting like minded individuals.

Hey Zero, Yes I know all about what SOE did to this game, I was playing at launch. And yet, this isn't SOE, it's also not a purist server, frankly that is what makes it great. I never needed them on live, there was always a resource farmer selling quality resources, could be expensive but they were there. I only used them on EMU servers to kick start the profession. So to that end I would say the intent for the deed is down to the user.

Ok, so what on earth can I craft with 8 resource deeds in that example?

Lets say that we make resource deeds 300k or even 3m for 1 deed. Great! Now you, myself, and every other player has access to them too regardless of how long you've been on the server. Lets math this for a second. 8 Character slots = 8 resource deeds a month all for simply logging in and logging out of 8 characters daily which takes 30 seconds. Which has now deflated the value of all of your goods and your resources to the point that even not even Joe Schmitt that has never crafted a day in his life will pay more than 2 credits for an item from you or any other crafter on the server.

Ok, so what on earth can I craft with 8 resource deeds that breaks the economy? in the depth of schematics that are needed to make items? Without quality resource vendors on the server or people willing to put quality items up in quantity? I just get the feeling that people have a hard time in separating Work from Play. last time I checked this was supposed to be more in the Play category. Even if you have all the best resources on the server, and I'm sure there are some folks who do, you aren't going to be a machine to do it all. Help players help the server, all this talk about this pseudo economy means nothing if people aren't able to play within this economy. I was simply trying to suggest something that would greatly help new crafters catchup and produce for the server but clearly there isn't any way to view this perspective.

I am not an economist, nor do I wish to be. But I don't understand how/why obtaining X amount of a specific resource to be able to make items for the server would kill it? the concept of breaking a games economy via a resource deed is clearly lost on me.

these deeds are what is killing the economy.

I'm not seeing a market for resources on this server.. I'm not actually seeing much of a market for most things on this server at the moment, from what I've been told many people are simply hording and sitting on it. So one could argue, what economy? that aside I'm more for playing than running the prices/inflation up. When people bang on about economy it just seems to take the fun out of a game and it pushes it more towards work.

From what I gather it's quite young and ever changing, which is good. But for me it's time lost, as new to the server or atleast my guild being new to the server we're playing catchup. Credits are not all that easy to come by with the junk dealer being nerfed and every mob only giving 1 credit to deter credit farmers which instantly drives any inflation down. From what I've come to assume is that this server is catering more towards QoL changes above puritans. certain loots are easier to obtain and hand sampling at least on Mustafar is greatly increased which is a massive help towards QoL imo. But if the resources are bad.. not much you can do, the RNG gods are not our friends.

And why on earth would anyone buy a deed for 125 daily tokens to get less than what you could get for 30? presently it's clearly 1 token = 1K for the current therefore why would anyone consider saving 100 daily tokens to get a ratio that is 1.25 tokens = 1K, I thought this server was all about QoL. And yet you're still talking about a minuscule amount of quality resource where much is needed, only now your suggesting crafters login religiously everyday for 125 days to get for less.. The way I see those resource kits is simply to tied folks over until something else comes up. Why spend daily tokens when you don't need to, more so for new crafters to the server than those seasoned and with hordes of resources they were lucky enough to be around when it dropped.

I wasn't suggesting that someone attempt to inject a decent spawn into the cycle. I've heard the horror stories. However, I'm just trying to get to a point where I can do something productive with my crafter which I presently can't within the current resource climate. increasing the amount within the purchasable deed would go a long way to not needing to wait yet another 30 days to get another tiny amount, and significantly improve QoL for new crafters on the server. Even if they need to wait 30 days to get somewhere. Current hand sampling and artisans boosts to resource collection is already brilliant on this server, the time between spawn cycles is a little long which just adds more delay. It is definitely frustrating not being able to create anything worthwhile right now.

The knowledge that something is being done to help poor quality resources is welcomed.

It's more so coming into the game like now and nothing is there.. you're waiting for a very very long time.. And you simply cannot get those resources. I don't have a problem with putting harvesters or hand samplers out in the wild. it's not a problem.. I've been doing that since I started 43 days ago.. but still I'm severely hampered in my crafting ability to move forward. There isn't any resources on any vendors, nor is there any means in which to barter for those that are no longer down.. Polymer was just an example, I am surprised by how poor the poly has been mind.

Looking to exchange the rebel ace pilot backpack schematic for an imperial one.

So.. polymer just reset and again it's shockingly bad.. which means to get anywhere as a crafter I need to wait 30 days and get a resource deed from the daily vendor, but 30K doesn't really go that far.. I don't suppose it would be amicable to add a couple of 00s to the end of that 30K value...

Any chance of increasing the survey tool distances, presently they are at the default top value of 320M that is 160M in all directions from centre. How about 1000M providing 500M in all directions from centre. Finding spawns of resources is such a pain atm, which can take several hours.
