Ok so here is the thing: I've not been very active lately, low in-game budget atm, so I decided to do a medium run on UR200 faps, 50 clicks. I got not-too-bad prices for the ingredients:
- 150 Himi Ingots (270% order)
- 100 Ignisium Ingots (114%)
- 550 Simple II Plastic Springs (101%)
- 200 Robot Casing (216%)
The last ingredient could have been cheaper, and that would make a maximum difference of 200 ped.
and finally:
- 2200tt metal res (107.8%)
Total material cost: 3 489,56 PED
I clicked them a bit earlier, and here is the result:
Total material left-over including markup: 850,13
Total value of faps including markup: 2090,90
Result: about 550 ped loss.
probably more, when I add the costs of putting the rest materials and faps on auction.
OK, I don't have Buzz or Auktuma's skills, and OK, the QR on this bp was rather low, but wtf? I'm not exactly a newcomer or noob crafter. And this is not a high-end bp. How can this kind of environment attract new players, or make old players still feel welcome?
Did I have fun doing this? No
Do I like what I did with my time there? No
Why would I bother doing things like these again? If you know, pls tell me, coz I have no clue about it.
Thing is... if I had made 200 ped or so doin this, I'd be happy to spend them again. But the above isn't exactly motivating...
confusing...
