Doing Melds for others(what to charge)

[Trife]

I usually don't ask for money and let the customers decide.

More often than not they give a satisfying amount, and it helps building relations.

I mean, melding is free, so even if you don't charge anything you don't lose anything.

Melding isn't free. It takes many hours to get your gathering/craft up to 50 to be in the position to do those melds. People need to realize this.

Time is worth compensation.

But that's a choice the individual made for themself. They like the class and leveled it up. Thats like a tank charging people to tank cause he put time in to level that class, WHM might as well charge too, cause they put hours n hour into level that class too right??? LOL


Some people just like to craft, and if they feel like helping others , there's nothing wrong with that. I like the way they said they do exchanges .

You're right crafting is a choice we make, so we don't end up being broke in the end-game. Just because we took the conscious effort to be successful before racing to end-game like the world is gonna end tomorrow, doesn't mean we don't deserve to be compensated for it...

And your tank/ WHM comparison isn't even close to the situation, now you're just reaching for an excuse. Where do you kids come up with your logic these days? It's really ridiculous, these excuses you come up with. All I see is me, me, me from you guys...

Protip: Blindly refuting someone else's argument without giving a reason and then immediately following with name-calling weakens your own argument, not the other person's.

To be fair though the Tank/Healer analogy was bad. In a party everyone is playing a specific role in return for other party members doing their role. So as a tank you arent actually tanking for free. You get heals from the healer and dps from dpsers in return for tanking. Its a mutual exchange of services.

The reason I got both of my crafts to 50 wasn't for melds, it was to make the items being 50 gave me access to.

And the money I made selling said items more than make up for the money I spent grinding to 50.

It also takes many hours and a lot of hard work to level a DoM/DoW class to 50, what's your point? The act of melding doesn't cost anything and that's all that matters. Besides, if you spent a lot of cash to level crafting instead of doing it the cheaper way, that's your choice, not theirs.

Neither does the act of handing me a few units of coke, but I have never seen a DoM/DoW do that for free...

Edit: Holy Crap! That's IT!. When I get my crafts to 50, I'll do melds for no gil - 1 unit of rare materials in trade please! It ought to keep people from bugging me, anyway

LOL, hard work for a DoM/DoW class... Don't make me laugh. Grinding FATE's is soooo hard LMAO!!!!!

Obviously, if a power company is using PV, wind, or hydroelectric sources, then the power they provide should be freeeeee!
