Tradeskills

I sincerely doubt that this post is being ignored. I'm pretty sure the old way of think was to throw out a simple item change. I really don't think that is the best solution, and I'd be willing to bet a Lillu's Magical Distiller(chuckle), that even as we debate this, a solution is being chewed upon. I say patience will prove out, and there will soon be a solution. *leans against the wall with his hands relaxing on his sword hilts, watching Grey tinker with some gears*

wasnt trying to imply it was being ignored- i know the devvs works their a$$es off here to keep things running smooth, it was just a shameless bump for grey 8)

i feel like im doing the damned tradeskill grind whenever he starts talking to me about it lol, and it hurts ><

I doubt its being ignored, I just feel ignored.
Shameless bumps to try and garner attention and now its on to attempt a shock campaign to draw attention to it.
Attempting to attack this issue from several angles *while* posting as much information in a easy to read manner as possible.
Nothing worse then a player that complains about something on a server, yet the player does not provide supporting information or potential solutions.

I would like to think that by taking the time to write a few of the posts the staff can see this issue from my point of view. I listed out one recipe which requires the use of 3 other tradeskills on items with moderately high trivial levels.
Of course I have my Grandmaster items made for the most important so I have yet to fail any of the above mentioned combines but man would it suck to fail on some of them.
Especially since this skill is easily the most expensive to raise AND the sell back value is really really bad.
Yesterday I made about 20 of this one item out of 35 attempts. Not bad rate considering I was 225 skill attempting a 260ish trivial item. The cost per attempt was around 250pp and the sale back value was 9pp.

P.s. Nerf air infused spring waters .. I'm kidding, kinda. Just want this skill to be in the same ballpark as the others in term of difficulty to raise and price. Right now its like attempting to walk to the moon wearing lead shoes.

Not sure how long it took to farm up the 156 spiderling silk or 100 misc quality animal skins, however I started the clock on this days round of combines. 1 hour 45 min, 3 tailoring sub-combines, 2 blacksmithing sub-combines and a finally the tinkering combine. 6 total skill ups, spent ~13,000pp with total resell ~4200pp.
Not upset with this at all. I only wish the next tier of this combine was in game.

Farming the silks is only time consuming but a couple zones are decent to farm them in.
Animal pelts are easy to come by and I wont ask for the vendor price to be changed as I suffered through it and others can as well.

Really just need a couple items that are listed in the DB to be put on merchants (RE: the blacksmithing part of the combine and the tinkering part of the combine). After that its just taking the time to farm the items in question.
Only two days left till I move so I doubt I will see this tradeskill reviewed.
Lillu was kind enough to fix some stacking requests but in the other areas I am receiving no word or feedback.
Appears I will have to settle for a final skill of 234.

Was going to put stuff on the wiki to pass time today and tomorrow but my wiki user-account was deleted.
