A Question on the "Crafting" update issue, not a rFollow

I don't craft. I'm a harvester, that's my main source of income. Crafters buy from my merchant board to make their goods they sell. It's a win/win situation. Most crafters don't want to spend 3 or 4 hours harvesting, or can't go to the places I can to get their items perhaps because their skill isn't high enough or whatever.

Now, there's this big debate going on with crafting. I heard that now crafters can't sell their shiznit to NPC's, but I also heard it was only temporary until some things were fixed.

Some crafter please update me on this? I make around 1-3 gold a night on my harvesting wares. At this point the only other way I can see to make decent money is quest constantly or farm mobs for drops, which I'd rather not do when it's much easier to go harvest for 2 or 3 hours and then play the rest of my time I have to play.

Thanks in advance for the answer on what's going on.

There is a design flaw that was allowing people to make 100's of PP by spamming the Provisioners trade skill and selling to a merchant.

The lock down of sales was to fix this, until a long term solution is found. I suspect you will see them re-evaluating the NPC purchase price of player created items. Players are meant to be selling to other players, and not to NPC's.

I can't???

Can't sell orcish meat and all that stuff?

OK I gotta log on and see that. I'll be a little upset if they did that. I mean....bleh.

Yeah, because I logged on and still sold like basic mob drops - a few meats and skulls- to NPC's just fine. Whew, that did scare me. You'd have a lot of angry people if they made it so you couldn't sell otherwise useless stuff like that to NPC's.
