Subject: Re: [EQ_Tinkering] Gordon on summoned water breathing stones


Gordon really has no idea how wrong he is. People
don't care that they can get infinite EB forever, they
care that they can get FREE EB for the trip that
they're going on. I'm lucky if I can sell Aqualungs
anymore, and the last rebreather that I made is being
passed around to guildmates who need it while I'm
playing in the planes.

With the addition of magician summoned stones, this
market has gone to the crappers. And now they took
away the lore tag as well. Talk about adding insult
to injury =( There's nothing that I can make and sell
to people which raises my skill anymore, so I'm not
going to bother sinking any more money into it until
they revamp the trade.
