Common courtesy: apparently not so common.

This comes up a lot but I'm going to have to say it...

I can understand paying you for your time in actually making the item requested , I can understand compensating you for the crystals, I get even giving you a "Finder's Fee" if you have to get some of the mats... These are all things I do.

But seriously it is not my responsibility to compensate you for your leveling process, stop whining about how much it cost you to level up, yes it cost you a lot of money to level up and gear to be a 3 star crafter, but No one forced you to do it so stop wording it like everyone should pay you back because you so graciously decided to become a crafter.

Seriously it's not like my employer factors in how much it cost me to go to Culinary School when they decided how much they're willing to pay me.
