It was a beautiful crisp Sunday afternoon and while my guild was off raiding I resolved to do some combines and get my Journeyman Artisan title finished.
I ran through PoK, buffed some guildmates and was running to main bank to cut some augments. I spy Lugga the Cook what appears to be a player character but a /who shows no such player. I hail her, put on my various Expert or Journeymna tradeskill titles and ask if I can help her.
She is a GM controlling the player and asks in /roleplay-speak if I would make some items for her. I figure it would be cooking materials or such but she aks for UNFIRED pottery items. I get a list of 8 items, some trivial, some with 300+ trivials and she promises me a nice reward.
I look at the list,m assemble everything I need except for the high trivial items and stalk off to the closest pottery wheel.
Combine. Fail.
Combine. Crash.
Hmmm.
Reboot.
Combine. Fail.
Combine. Crash.
Repeat 4 more times.
Sigh. I run off to the PC and she is gone.
I run to Shadowhaven.
Combine. Fail.
Combine. Crash.
I resolve to forget the quest after checking the PC and seeing she is no longer up. I go the Thurgadin and do 200 or so smithing and tailoring combines with the usual success, failures and skill ups.
I spy the pottery wheel in Thurgadin and since I have my materials on me still...
Combine. Fail.
Combine. DNC.
Combine. Crash.
I think that the pottery wheels were encountering confirmed problems and the lure of a quest NPC for me to try the combines made me their unwitting and crash-prone fall guy. They were too lazy to test/fix/stress test the pottery wheels and hung a juicy promise in front of my nose and I followed them blithely along.
Sigh.
