"Enhancing pottery - or did anyone win the EQ lottery last night"

In Verant's valiant crusade against those evil, evil craftspeople that
actually *gasp* make a small profit for all their trouble - today we get a
patch that turns a 4g profit into an 8g loss. But wait - perhaps they were
just trying to save us time because low and behold - many people - many
that AREN'T potters saw this coming and this morning are 8000 plat, yes
PLAT richer.

8 characters - 16 slots - 8 slots per backpack - 20 sketches per slot.

By my calculations buying a 1s 1c sketch selling at 4 GOLD 2 c - that's -
oh roughly 8007 PLAT profit.

And oh yeah - remember they did this to us for 'the good of the economy
cause we were makin to much money'

I figured when I did pottery I made, oh maybe 15-20 plat an hour "OH MY
GOD, SOMEONE IS MAKING A PROFIT"

Well, boost that figure to a generous 30plat an hour - 8007 - hmmmm, what's
that 266 hours of work someone didn't have to do? And to top it all off,
this has been all over the boards - and people that AREN'T POTTERS been
investing in these like stocks.

Wish I had some stocks that paid off this well overnight.
